One of the most exciting cellists of the younger generation and the "Piano Discovery of the Year" team up for this GENUIN release: Benedict Kloeckner and Danae Dörken perform works by Robert Schumann, Dmitri Shostakovich, and Bohuslav Martinu. They have named their CD Nostalgia and Revolution, a title that applies to all three composers who, in a twofold manner, both mirrored and shaped their times. Splendid duo playing with long and sweeping lines together with a fair share of hooks and barbs—a fascinating chamber music production that gives us hope that we’ll be hearing more from this duo in the future!
Nominated for the International Classical Music Award 2020

"Kloeckner trifft, in perfekter Symbiose mit der Pianistin Danae Dörken, den romantischen Tonfall der schumannschen Charakterstücke, bringt aber auch die Ambivalenz von Schostakowitschs grandioser Sonate op. 40 auf den Punkt. Und Martinůs Variationen H. 378: eine echte Entdeckung!"
Besprechung im Magazin concerti von Frank Armbruster, 13.8.2019
Pizzicato
"Klöckner and Dörken play the work energetically and lively, with accurate (not exaggerated) rhythms, expressively but without pathos. Thus, this is a very attractive CD!"
