String to string, Murat Parlak and his longtime friend Jann Michael Engel let piano and cello resound in the Stadtstadel. At times the piano came to the fore, at others the cello; together they transformed the room into a single body of sound. In their own unique way and with great joy in improvisation, the two musicians played works by Beethoven, Grieg as well as Shostakovich and showed wonderfully how even former masters loved improvisation in order to surprise themselves and their audience time and again. With their own interpretations from the film music "Spiel mir das Lied vom Tod" by Ennio Morricone as well as original compositions by Murat Parlak, the evening culminated in a special sound experience for the audience, whose fingers could almost reach into the strings of both musicians, their music experience felt that close. Quite in the style of lounge art.
