Works that pay homage to spring have been brought together by Malwina Sosnowski (violin) and Benyamin Nuss (piano) on their new GENUIN CD: departure, a new beginning, an exuberance of emotions. On it, the perspective shifts between Japan and Europe. Beethoven’s euphoric “Spring Sonata” is juxtaposed with rarely performed French repertoire by Germaine Tailleferre and Lili Boulanger, as well as a world premiere recording by Masashi Hamauzu and an elegy dedicated to the victims of Fukushima by Benyamin Nuss himself. The interpretative verve and freshness of the two internationally successful musicians match the richness of color and nuance found in the selected music.

Frederic Rzewski was one of the essential contemporary US composers whose death anniversary is approaching for the first time. The German pianist Benyamin Nuss presents three of the most famous works on his new CD “UNITE!”. Nuss starts the album with the four movements of the “North American Ballads” and takes you directly into the composer’s sound universe. These pieces tell of the nation’s workers, the downtrodden and oppressed, and illustrate Rzewski’s view of the United States of his time.

With Bernstein being considered as a composer of symphonies, musicals, and sacred works, many people forget that he also wrote a considerable amount of chamber music pieces, most of them for piano only. His Anniversaries represent an important part of these collections: miniatures created in homage to his friends and colleagues for each new anniversary. They include Copland, Foss, Mr and Mrs Koussevitzky, Sondheim, his wife and daughter and many other lesser-known characters. And let’s not forget his 1981 Touches for solo piano, a piece which was required for the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. There’s also a Sonata for Clarinet and Piano, another for violin and piano, a trio with piano, and a few other diversified pieces, most of which date from between the composer’s first maturity to the 1950s. Then there are the surprising Variations for recorder and cello on an “octatonic” scale, one of Messiaen’s favoured modes of limited transposition. Another rarity; the Dance Suitealmost constitutes a musical testament as it was created only a few months before the genius composer-conductor passed away. It features jazz and even music-hall influences and was very dear to Mr Bernstein.

WDR BigBand lead trombonist and bassist meet world-class pianists, double bass, trombone and piano – which sounds unusual at first, creates space, swings and carries you away – in a chamber music atmosphere.

With John Goldsby on bass, Ludwig Nuss on trombone and Benyamin Nuss on piano, three top-class musicians have come together who have been making music together for over 10 years.
The music of Nuss-Goldsby-Nuss is deeply rooted in jazz but also influenced by classical music, Latin American music, pop, soul and funk. Mainly the three musicians’ own compositions and a few selected jazz standards are played.
