As An Unperfect Actor Nine Shakespeare Sonnets

Birgit Minichmayr captures the imagination and holds centre-stage. This wont come as a surprise to people in the German-speaking world, where the Austrian actor is well-known from countless appearances on TV and a substantial filmography. What might be more of a surprise, however, is the exhilarating musicality she shows on this, her first complete album as a vocalist. Composer/ pianist Bernd Lhotzky has provided her with a wonderful array of musical contexts. Throughout the course of the album, we are magically transported to new musical and emotional places. The instrumentalists are a Munich based group named Quadro Nuevo, with Philipp Schiepeks contribution a stand-out. As Lhotzky says: Hes a phenomenal guitarist, and really young. Bernd Lhotzkys kaleidoscopic musical vision and Birgit Minichmayrs instinct for mood-setting have combined triumphantly.
