Naim is so pleased to have had the opportunity once again to work with the legendary bass player Charlie Haden. Famed for his ground breaking work with Ornette Coleman in the 60s, Charlie has played and recorded with nearly every musical luminary you can think of.
Its no less of a pleasure to have recorded the outstanding guitarist Antonio Forcione, also no stranger to The Naim Label. Antonio brings his immense talent to the recording, contributing a thrilling performance.
Heartplay is a subtle and sublime collaboration. Charlie and Antonio play a combination of compositions by each other, and a beautifully sparkling track called Childs Play by Fred Hersch.
Charlies bass sounds beautifully deep and rounded, an incredibly satisfying and symbiotic partner with Antonios guitar. These elegant and eloquent duets are totally atmospheric and an absolute joy to listen to.
The album was recorded by Ken Christianson in Naims very own tried, tested and spectacularly proved True Stereo method, where the musicians play live and are recorded direct to a two track reel to reel tape recorder. The result is a unprocessed analogue recording, in which the sound of the instruments is allowed to shine without any hindrance from the procedure.
