The theme of the album “The Lovers” by the Duo Edlbauer Kuzo (Andrea Edlbauer, saxophone, and Oksana Kuzo, piano) revolves around love, lovers, and the relationships between people – the states in which we live together and alone. The music transports listeners into various emotional moods and allows them to experience a diversity of feelings and forms of expression. This album features a combination of works already cherished by connoisseurs of the saxophone-piano repertoire, such as Robert Muczynski’s Sonata or Astor Piazzolla’s Grand Tango in an arrangement for saxophone and piano, as well as completely new pieces composed for the duo. These new works are characterised by a musical language that touches immediately and captures listeners’ hearts, such as The Moment You Lost Your Love by the young Austrian composer Viola Hammer, the atmospheric music Monody by Austria-based composer Theodor Burkali, and the passionate, temperamental, and multifaceted title work The Lovers by American composer Steve Bryant. Also featured are the Three Bagatelles for Piano by Ukrainian composer Valentin Silvestrov and the Cantilena by Theodor Burkali.
