Lutz Koppetsch and Markus Bellheim impressively demonstrate that jazz instruments also possess chamber music qualities, performing music by German composers in the style of the ‘golden’ 1920s. They perform original works and arrangements with great atmosphere and rich colour. This is what ‘Made in Germany’ sounds like! A co-production with BR KLASSIK
