The first arrangement of several enchanting Mongolian songs which I love since long.
I visited the country three times and still I have to return one time...
My love for this faraway place was initiated by the touching movie 'Urga' by Nikita Michalkov.
I was enchanted by the music, the large distances, the stillness, the raw elements of nature and of course by the story told in the movie. I had to visit this country and its people.
I made my own version of a famous song I once heard on tape - yes, in the days of the good old cassette tape! - with two 'morin khuur' (horse head fiddle) and a 'yatga' (a Mongolian type zither).

"Beethoven's Variations on the theme 'bei Männern, welche Liebe fühlen' from Mozart's Magic Flute, which was sung in Vienna anywhere at the time, was very well received. Galante, spirited, melancholic, furious and with much sense of nuances the duo  presented the work and harvested a strong and long-lasting applause."
(October 2010, Stefanie Baumann)
