Songs without words in the velvety smoothness of a splendid brass instrument: this is what we are offered by the new GENUIN CD of the Duo GIOVIVO from Switzerland. Fabian Bloch (euphonium) and Muriel Zeiter (piano) take us on a journey through three centuries of masterpieces to which they lend a new voice. Beethoven's Ich liebe Dich and Kreisler's Liebesleid, Fauré's Berceuse and Bach's famous Wenn Schafe sicher weiden can be found here. With its title Rather Romantic, much of the music on this album is not only genuinely romantic but also revolves around the eternal theme of love. As Robert Schumann's famous Widmung says, "Thou my world, in which I live, my heaven thou, to which I aspire…"
Pizzicato
"A talking euphonium ... a perceptible love of music and storytelling, as if Fabian Bloch were really speaking to us through his instrument."
Review by Remy Franck in Pizzicato, November 29, 2022
Brass Band
"Muriel Zeiter and Fabian Bloch certainly enjoyed the recording. At least that's how it sounds; uninhibited and always with the appropriate timbre. For euphonium lovers, a great CD."
