Experience a captivating juxtaposition of four distinct and mesmerizing compositions spanning a mere decade on the GENUIN CD recorded by violinist Friederike Starkloff and pianist Endri Nini. The duo has compiled works from 1913 to 1923 by Erwin Schulhoff, Claude Debussy, George Antheil, and Leoš Janáček - echoes of an era characterized by tumultuous innovation and pioneering spirit where artists across all genres laid the foundations for modernity. Starkloff, who embarked on her career as the youngest first concertmaster of a German radio orchestra, and Nini, esteemed internationally as a chamber musician, breathe life into these extraordinary, kaleidoscopic compositions with unparalleled intensity and technical mastery.

"Friederike Starkloff and Endri Nini create these jagged psyches with such intensity and at the same time very delicately and unobtrusively that one is completely drawn into not only the musical world of this sonata/sonatas, but into the whole mood or rather ‘moodiness’ of a time, a world." Fanny Tanck presents the album in her programme Meine Musik from 03 May 2024.
