Two female musicians leave their home countries to establish themselves in foreign lands and take a musical retrospect. Katja Zakotnik and Naila Alvarenga Lahmann present music from Slovenia, Brazil and Germany on their new GENUIN CD. We embark with them on a highly emotional journey, traversing all the mountains and valleys that the multifaceted concept of "home" entails. We encounter well-known composers such as Johannes Brahms and Heitor Villa-Lobos and new names such as Blaz Pucihar and AndrÃ© Mehmari. The compositions of the young Slovenian Urska Oresic (world premiere recording of her "Little Diamonds") and the Brazilian Chiquinha Gonzaga add variety to the CD and tempt us to look with interest at the feminine side of these countries' musical creations.
