Info zu Sibelius - Pärt - Schnittke

20 Jahre Erfahrung im gemeinsamen Musizieren und das daraus resultierende bravouröse, blinde Verständnis des Caussin Duos zeichnet das Album „Sibelius - Pärt - Schnittke“ aus. Die Geschwister entwickeln sich in ihrem Zusammenspiel zu einer Einheit, sie lassen die Musik für sich sprechen und ziehen so den Zuhörer in ihren Bann. Die Aufnahme ist ein Beweis der unglaublichen Musikalität, die das Duo ausstrahlt, ebenso wie die etlichen Auszeichnungen, die das Geschwisterpaar erhalten hat.

In der Auswahl seiner Werke hat sich das Duo auf Komponisten des 20. Jahrhunderts spezialisiert, was sich auch in der Produktion deutlich widerspiegelt.

„Die Zuhörer werden auf eine Reise mitgenommen, die von den weiten Bögen des satten Cellotones über die perlenden, wasserfallartigen Akkorde des Klaviers hin zu den spannend harmonisierten, emphatisch ausholenden, feinnervig expressiven Momenten der Musik führt.“ (Caussin Duo)
