Spark & Valer Sabadus - Closer to paradise

Marjan Hellraeth

"Valer Sabadus and Spark make music that is both original and great and they create new horizons" - Manheimer Morgen
"Refreshing world of sound, packaged in an unconventional concept" - Wiener Zeitung
"Spark shines across all genre boundaries with a breathtaking musical performance"


Since the foundation, this innovating band SPARK has quickly risen from a surprisingly fresh indie chamber music ensemble into one of Germany’s most promising classical music exports. In summer 2011, Spark has been awarded the prestigious ECHO Klassik in the category “classics without borders” for the debut album “Downtown Illusions”. 
With “Folk Tunes”, SPARK presents its debut with Deutsche Grammophon. On that album, the five talented high educated musicians remain true to form. Once again, they create an exciting blend of old and new, transporting folk tunes into the twenty-first century with a radical new slant. The five virtuosos move effortlessly between the most diverse musical styles, combining the old masters and contemporary avant-garde, minimal music, captivating rhythms and film scores.
The classical band SPARK is cherished by its fans above all for its thrilling, highly energetic live performances, which see the five talented musicians getting physical on stage with ebullient vitality and the pulsating power of a rock band. Together they present music that ignites passion. Together they spark !

In the program CLOSER TO PARADISE, the  fantastic collaboration of this quintet with the international rising star, countertenor Valer Sabadus sounds like musical sparks: music without borders, performance at the highest level, magical modernity. Sabadus lets you hear why he is famous and so in demand on the hotspots of the baroque music field worldwide.
He has a beautiful and voluminous voice in the alto with male timbre, well-managed, creative embellishments in baroque style, unobtrusive and present at the same time. Sabadus sings with emotional power, moving, stylish, terrific. 
Sensational fireworks guaranteed !
