Recreation is special in many ways: consisting of musicians whose nationalities range from Japan to Venezuela, most of the members received part of their training in Graz.

Time and again, the New World in Dvořák‘s 9th sounds new and fresh

Time and again, the New World in Dvořák‘s 9th sounds new and fresh, even after 130 years. Iván Eröd’s Concerto for Three Clarinets and Orchestra, performed for the first time in 2016 by the Vienna Philharmonic, is in fact quite new, however, and played for us by Andrea Götsch, Alexander & Michael Gurfinkel, Mei-Ann Chen goes further still: she combines the huge sound of America, her home of choice, with the tones of her native Taiwan in the far east.
