IV Karachi
On their new GENUIN CD, Duo GIOVIVO takes its audience into the diverse worlds of classical, jazz and traditional music within the space of 60 minutes. Fabian Bloch (euphonium and alphorn, amongs others) and Muriel Zeiter (piano and violin, among others) play a variety of instruments in ever new and unexpected combinations. The result is refreshing, unusual, and exciting, proving that each piece offers something new to discover! We dance across alpine peaks in syncopation, wobble across the ice with figure skaters, and indulge in a sizzling Czardás. And perhaps the unifying factor of all this is the movement! Because not only does dance unite this CD, but in the most beautiful moments, it unites the entire world.
Album of the week at rbb-Kultur
"Joie de vivre as a musical programme: the first album by Muriel Zeiter and Fabian Bloch is full of surprises, stylistic diversity and changing moods."

Radio SRF
"Muriel Zeiter and Fabian Bloch perform with up to eight different instruments. Thus they switch back and forth between different styles and timbres seemingly effortlessly. A diversity that can now also be heard on their first joint CD Serendipity."

Rondo
"In the versatile titles, of which Waldteufel's Skaters' Waltz and Monti's immortal Czárdás are still the best known, the low brass begins to dance - suddenly completely weightless. However, the dreamy and airy is not neglected either!"

British Bandsman
"Fabian Bloch and Muriel Zelter deliver this delightful, varied programme with technical security, musical sensitivity, and polish."
