Anja Lechner and François Couturier expand the musical spectrum through their individual expression. The duo skillfully interweaves original compositions, improvised pieces, and reinterpretations of works by Henri Dutilleux, Giya Kancheli, and Anouar Brahem, creating a cohesive atmosphere and expressive soundscape from diverse sources. The German cellist and the French pianist are intimately familiar with a wide range of influences and repertoires, and they not only compose new music that reflects and reinterprets their sources of inspiration, but also create new works. Their collaborative piece, "Lontano," was recorded in November 2019 in the Bremen Concert Hall under the direction of Manfred Eicher.
