A young ensemble backed with over 400 years of history is releasing its debut CD with GENUIN: the Dresden Chamber Soloists are all members of the Sächsische Staatskapelle, one of the most tradition-rich orchestras in the world. The CD proves, however, that for the top musicians, tradition is not merely a matter of maintaining the legacy but of passing the torch. On this CD, the ensemble combines Beethoven's famous Septet (the composer's most successful piece of his lifetime!) with a new work written for the same instrumentation, Simone Fontanelli's gestural Dresden Septet - Homage to Beethoven. A worthwhile world premiere recording!

"[...] This is an absolutely first-class interpretation of the work." Rezension von Karl Georg Berg, Ausgabe 11-2023

"The Dresden septet of musicians, all members of the Sächsische Staatskapelle, harmonise excellently in terms of intonation and precise ensemble playing." (Elisabeth Richter)
