In spring of 2020, concert halls fell silent. During those weeks, when people had to stay at home and musicians faced all their performances being canceled, a group of Berlin-based artists of international acclaim, in co-operation with awarded film producer Jan Schmidt-Garre and Naxos Audiovisual, set up a series of chamber music concerts performed and filmed at Schinkel Pavillon in Berlin. Roman Trekel (baritone) and Francesco Piemontesi (piano) perform Gustav Mahler's Sieben Lieder Aus Letzter Zeit (1905), Bach / Busoni: Praeludium BWV 552 and Bach Transcriptions by Busoni and Kempff.
