BEETHOVEN MEETS CUBA Ludwig van Beethovens creativity inspired countless generations (of music – ians) – across countries, borders and genres. Influenced of that, the “masters of classical crossover” committed themselves to explore and combine the intersections of classical European music, Jazz (in all his various styles) and the rhythmical, melodic Cuban music Mixed with the typical Latin timbre Beethovens creations sound different: they get a light and easy-going tone. Some of the oeuvres become almost danceable, some appear grooving or balladesque. Timeless classics such as „Für Elise“, the piano sonata „Pathétique“ and the famous „Mondscheinsonate“ surprise the audience in the latest album with swing elements. |
