The viola and the accordion are the focus of this recording work, two instruments, which have led a shadowy existence for a long time. The viola as a rich timbre in symphonic or chamber music form, the accordion as a global player of popular music with the stable smell of folk music. Despite, or perhaps due to, their previous history,  the viola as well as the accordion has turned to treasured protagonists of the New Music. Teodoro Anzellotti and Christophe Desjardins perform as soloists but also in a duo on this album named after the composition ...of waters making moan by Rebecca Saunders.

Jonathan Harvey, Gérard Pesson, Rebecca Saunders, Marco Stroppa and Hans Zender have written their compositions especially ‘on the skin’ of Teodoro Anzellotti and Christophe Desjardins.

Anzellotti and Desjardins are among the best in their field, and these two exceptional musicians receive without a doubt highest praise from critics and also from the public. This album reveals new fascinating sounds, it is a creation of a work of acoustic art.
