Tosca and Tannhauser, lieder by Schumann and Schubert - interpreted by a tubist and a harpist? Without any singing at all? Exactly! On the new GENUIN album by Andreas Martin Hofmeir and Andreas Mildner, the name says it all: "Besser ohne Worte" (Better without words) humorously offers arrangements of lieder and arias. It's a bit like Christmas and Easter at the same time! The ECHO Classic Winner and the exceptional harpist play with passion and with unheard-of perfection - as the only tuba-harp duo in the world. Until now, angelic singing was only accompanied by the harp, but now
