Das Kollektiv Duo Tours Austria Performing “Caminando” - Austriaby Dr Herbert Scheibenreif Manager of Friedrich Lips Productions |
As unusual as the combination of accordion and flute may seem, Raphael Brunner (accordion) and Juan Carlos Díaz (flute) use their skills to multiply this cast into a collective musical experience. Their diverse concert activities have already taken the young musicians to places such as the Luxemburg Philharmonic, Berlin Philharmonic, Vienna Concert House, Concert and Theater St. Gallen and Radial System V in Berlin. In addition, their musical profession enabled them to tour Europe, Latin America and Asia. So far 3 CDs (Timeless, No Limits & Platano) with works from the classical, modern, folklore, jazz, tango-nuevo and own compositions have been released. The current musical program "Caminando" is shaped by the experiences that the young musicians have made on their travels through the world and tells about the search for the personal musical identity of the artists. “Caminando” is the Spanish word for running. One hears Colombia, feels Taiwan, experiences France, is penetrated by Greece and impressively feels the power of the various rhythms and melodies. World music, jazz and classical music meet here and merge into refreshingly new original compositions. Well-known pieces are also reinterpreted by the artists and performed with playful ease. With their skills, their joy of playing and their respect for the diversity of cultures, they create the feat of genre fusion and a new level between classic and folklore. Their mutual understanding and music as a universal language create a boundless unity. "We never play a work as it is written, but always bring our own ideas and soul into the music."
