Sometimes something quite difficult, once it has been accomplished, gives the impression that it is actually very simple - this is a certain sign that it has succeeded. The duo CD, Moods and Modes of the Nils Wogram/Simon Nabatov duo, trombone and piano, can be considered completely successful in this sense. A great sense of lightness, a poised matter-of-factness dominates in the most difficult terrain. There is a pulsing, constantly changing and never dwindling intensity of interaction, a wonderfully balanced sense of separate and together, and always an emphatic duality.
