Heartplay is a subtle and sublime collaboration. Charlie and Antonio play a combination of compositions by each other, and a beautifully sparkling track called Child’s Play by Fred Hersch. Charlie’s bass sounds beautifully deep and rounded, an incredibly satisfying and symbiotic partner with Antonio’s guitar. These elegant and eloquent duets are totally atmospheric and an absolute joy to listen to.

Following the phenomenally successful ‘In concert’ DVD release late in 2006, the Naim Label has released the album of this captivating performance. Originally commissioned by Naim, following the AFQ’s magnificent sell out tours both in the UK and mainland Europe, and recorded by Martin Levan of Red Kite Studio, the album captures the performance of the band at its best. The combination of an intimate theatre – the Trinity in Tunbridge Wells – and the realistic sound and scale captured make this an unmissable album. The recording was completely live, there were no overdubs in the studio later as is perhaps more normal. The band was a particular challenge to record as they are essentially acoustic in nature. The recording was almost exclusively made by microphones rather than Direct Injections (DIs) to retain the full acoustic sense and dynamic of the quartet.

Naim Label guitar virtuoso Antonio Forcione was touring Europe, when he chanced upon the stunning tone and control of twenty-something Sabina Sciubba at an after-show celebration in Hamburg. Upon his return to the UK, he made a beeline for Naim Audio with a spur-of-the-moment idea to take this amazing young lady into the studio. Antonio and Sabina exchanged demo tapes and song ideas until in the autumn of 1997, the two met at September Sound Studio in Twickenham to record an album of popular reinterpretations and originals. The resultant LP, Meet Me In London, became Naim’s most successful album to-date and is to this day cherished by audiophiles and music lovers the world over.
