Poetic music, musical poetry: The new Genuin album by internationally renowned pianist Cathy Krier from Luxembourg evokes the connections between sound and words, composers and language. Iconic repertoire pieces such as Maurice Ravel's "Gaspard de la Nuit" and Franz Liszt's transcriptions of Schubert songs enchant us, alongside excerpts from Sergei Prokofiev's musical-choreographic fairy tale "Cinderella" and works by two successful contemporary female composers: Konstantia Gourzi and Catherine Kontz.
