Metamorphoses: this is what Duo Amabile is in search of. In their concept album, Paula Breland, clarinet, and Anna-Katharina Schau, accordion, zoom into the processes of upheaval and new beginnings to offer their listeners transgressive experiences and to immerse themselves in a common "liminal moment".

All the new works are presented here in world premiere recordings!
