One of the great piano duos of recent decades presents a new CD on GENUIN "in praise of God": musical works based on the Laudate Dominum that kept Johann Sebastian Bach preoccupied throughout his life. Volker and Hans-Peter Stenzl span four centuries, from the Baroque era to the present day. Bach's Jesu bleibet meine Freude can be found here as well as a rarity by Martin Gustav Nottebohm, Igor Stravinsky and Astor Piazzolla appear alongside each other, and György Kurtág and Michael Denhoff take a new look at today's visions of God – an exciting and original combination of moving music performed to the highest standard!
