Every new sound carries a shadow of what came before: on their new GENUIN album, the piano duo Ekaterina Zhemaitis and Polina Kulikova journey through the dialogue between memory and invention. At its heart stands the world premiere recording of Rodion Shchedrin’s “Romantic Duets”, alongside works that draw breath from tradition while reshaping it into strikingly individual musical languages – from Stravinsky to Taneyev. Performed by an internationally award-winning duo, the program unfolds with rare coherence, revealing hidden lines, lucid structures, and unexpected connections across time.
