Since 2021, the duo has been working exclusively with the Berlin Classics/EDEL label. The first album Revolutionary Icons juxtaposes works by Beethoven with revolutionary icons of rock-pop history such as Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa and David Bowie. 2022 saw the release of Baroque in Blue, an album in which jazz and
baroque music enter into dialogue. In 2025 their Album Opium reflecting the creativity, sensuality but also the forecast of cleavage and catastrophy between two world wars, as well as its referral to our present decade.
L’uscita di un nuovo album è prevista per questo 2025: Opium, un lavoro che riflette la libertà e la creatività tra le due Guerre Mondiali, ma anche la loro ombra di catastrofe e il legame con il nostro decennio attuale.
