Igudesman & Joo – And Now Rachmaninoff by Various, ven 22 set 2023, Da (2023/2023), Burg Taggenbrunn, Sankt Veit an der Glan, Austria

Composers and musical humorists Igudesman & Joo have much in common with Rachmaninoff. They enjoy turning things upside down. In one of Rachmaninoff's last compositions - Rhapsody on a Paganini Theme - the artist took Paganini's famous theme and simply turned it upside down to create one of the greatest melodies of all time. It's so great that Bill Murray has it play every day in the film Groundhog Day, and in the video game Gran Turismo the same tune plays as players rev their engines in the calm before the storm. But what if Igudesman & Joo reverse what Rachmaninoff has already turned upside down? ”Igudesman & Joo are not only virtuosic musicians, but also masters of the comic. Everything they touch turns to gold.”
