| Catch-Pop String-Strong - CPSS |
|
The ability to build new forms from miscellaneous components, using wit and virtuosity as mortar, is a remarkable skill, a skill which Jelena Popržan and Rina Kaçinari have honed to perfection: one is a Serbian, the other a Kosovo Albanian, and together the play Bach, traditional music from the Balkans or the Scottish highlands, pop songs, as well as own compositions resounding with a multitude of different influences, and beautifully so. Equipped with a cello, a viola, their voices and as much respect as necessary they build bridges between different cultures, across centuries and musical traditions, and they do it all with a light-footedness and natural ease that is simply amazing.

Knoedel are back – without umlaut, but with drums! And a very special mix between contemporary and traditional, exceptional and ordinary.  |

| This album about boredom takes the Musicbanda Franui, accompanied by actor Peter Simonischek, away from their daily routine, back to the days of their childhood, and straight on to the graveyard. |

| Franui transfer the essential spirit of Schubert to the 21st century: "Music to make your knees weaken," praised the Berliner Zeitung. |
