Just five studio albums between 1964 and 1970 were sufficient for Simon and Garfunkel to become the most popular folk duet of the sixties. Their songs are poetic and sometime melancholic but The Sound of Silence remains on of their greatest successes.

De Amerikaanse zanger Paul Simon maakt van 1966 tot en met 1970 deel uit van het folkpopduo Simon & Garfunkel. Het duo heeft veel succes met albums als Sounds of Silence (1966), Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme(1966), Bookends (1968) en vooral Bridge over Troubled Water (1970). Het levert hen ook grote hits op, waarvan enkele nummers uitgroeien tot klassiekers, zoals ook The Sound of Silence. Mia Schmidt bewerktedit prachtige nummer voor blokfluitkwartet.

The Sound of Silence ist eine der früheren Kompositionen von Paul Simon, erstmals erschienen auf dem noch mäßig erfolgreichen Album Wednesday Morning, 3 a.m. von 1964. Später sollte es in einer überarbeiteten Fassung zu einem der größten Hits des Folk-Rock-Duos Simon and Garfunkel werden. Mia Schmidt passte den Klassiker geschickt für Blockflötenquartett an.

Cinq albums studios entre 1964 et 1970 suffirent Simon & Garfunkel pour devenir le duo folk le plus célèbre des années 60. Leurs chansons sont tantôt poétiques et mélancoliques, tantôt douces-amères. The Sound Of Silence est un des plus grands succès du duo.

Cinque album tra il 1964 e il 1970 bastarono a Simon & Garfunkel per diventare il duo folk più celebre degli anni '60. Le loro canzoni sono poetiche e malinconiche, dolci e amare. The Sound of Silence è uno dei più grandi successi del duo.
