about this recording:
A new, highly extraordinary combination of instruments is presented on this CD. Georg Glasl who by his virtuous playing technique leads the zither from its traditional place in the realm of folklore music to a chamber music concert instrument, here plays in a duet as a very sensitive partner of Kelvin Hawthorne who brilliantly manages to combine the harmonious sound of his instrument with that of the zither.

reviews:
"Especially distinctive the 'Concertino Albanese' by Wolfg. Thoma which is characterized by modal and oriental charm, as well as the experimental little pieces by Manfr. Niehaus and the austere, late-romanticism melodious sound of the sonatine "Zi-Vau-a" of the Reger student Alfred von Beckerath." (Westf. Rundschau 13.7.93)
