Arne Jansen & Stephan Braun - Going Home

In the organizer's words:

Guitarist Arne Jansen and cellist Stephan Braun have created something unique with their album "Going Home": a musical journey back to their emotional origins, inspired by Jansen's childhood memories of Dire Straits. Growing up with the epic music of Mark Knopfler, Jansen became a guitarist through the song "Telegraph Road", a passion that he reinterprets in a fascinating way on this album.
In "Going Home", the duo explores Dire Straits classics in a way that makes them seem like never before. Jansen and Braun combine their extraordinary skills to infuse the familiar melodies with jazzy, rock and chamber music nuances. As a "one-man orchestra", Stephan Braun brings in a whole range of timbres and rhythms with his cello, giving the songs a new, exciting dimension. Their interpretation of "Brothers in Arms" is particularly touching, recalling a moving concert in Ukraine and showing how music can unite people worldwide. "Going Home" is more than a tribute to Dire Straits, it is a profound reflection on the power of music to tell personal stories and transport listeners back to those magical moments of first discovery. "There hasn't been a jazz guitarist of the caliber of the Berliner in Germany for decades. Perhaps never before." Jazzthetik
