Janina Ruh plays in the bass and sings in the soprano register – a double gift she considers as a valuable asset: playing while singing and singing while playing. In her concerts she often combines singing voice and cello and thus really delights her audience. She won the Deutscher Musikwettbewerb in 2013. One year later the broadcasting corporation SWR chose her for their promotion programme SWR2 New Talent which is aimed at introducing outstanding young musicians to a broader public by means of concerts, radio programmes and studio productions. Renowned orchestras invited Janina Ruh as a soloist, among them were the MDR Symphony Orchestra, the Tapiola Sinfonietta (Finland), the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Latvian National Symphony Orchestra, the Warsaw Philharmonics, the Camerata Hamburg and the SWR Symphony Orchestra. She is the solo cellist of the ensemble Metamorphosen from Berlin. This is her second release within the Label SWRmusic.

Her partner on this release is the Russian pianist Boris Kusnezow who has so far performed at the Carnegie Hall in New York, the Mariinski Theatre in St. Petersburg, the Kioi Hall in Tokyo, the Munich Gasteig and the Berlin Philharmony. Whoever speaks with Boris Kusnezow about music becomes instantly aware of his sharp mind, his enormous musical knowledge, his expert eye for musical details and his enthusiasm for different kinds of music - all of which is reflected in his piano playing.
