Just a motion on the air – »Nur wie ein Bewegen der Lüfte «
Music for viola and piano by Ernst Krenek and Robert Schumann: Two contrasting musical worlds unfold with clarity, intensity and a wide expressive range, revealing unexpected connections between works rarely heard side by side. Shaped by a historically informed performance practice of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Tatjana Masurenko articulates two distinct sound aesthetics with precision and expressive depth.
