Anja Lechner and François Couturier widen the scope of music. The duo sings in a voice of its own, be it with original compositions, improvisations or interpretations of works by Henri Dutilleux, Giya Kancheli or Anouar Brahem, drawing upon a Bach cantata or an Argentine folk lament. Having internalized influences and repertoire the German cellist and the French pianist not only locate atmospheric and expressive connections among far-flung sources, but also create new music that reflects and refracts its inspirations. Lontano was recorded at Sendesaal Bremen in November 2019 and produced by Manfred Eicher.
