Donaufahrt

The subject here is not how many reeds grow next to the Danube. Nor is it important whether or not the fabulous bassoonist Rie Koyama dampened her reed in Danube water for her second GENUIN CD after her much-acclaimed Primavera debut. The fact that the prizewinner of the German Music Competition and the ARD Competition speaks the musical languages - perfectly - of the former K. and K. states along the blue river is documented by her interpretations of Beethoven, Mozart and Doppler, amongst others. Austrian charm meets Hungarian verve. Who wouldn't want to travel with her?
