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.
