Finally: one of the most grandiose examples of teamwork in operatic history is finally conquering the CD player, the living room and the armchair, thanks to GENUIN – and soon the stages of the world as well? Verdi and Wagner whispering in a café over hot chocolate and tiramisú whilst concocting audacious feats: La Traviata meets Tannhäuser, Lohengrin's swan makes the acquaintance of the power of fate. This final work of the wonderful Herbert Rosendörfer brings these two great composers together in a fictitiously meditative dialogue, the virtuoso hornist Christoph Eß (Bamberg Symphony Orchestra) and his german hornsound contribute the entertaining, "shaken not stirred" musical cocktail. We just say: Sempre libera – hoyotoho!
