// Walking The Dog
Andreas Mader & Joseph Moog
A surprising and refreshing journey which explores the confines of the repertoire for saxophone and piano, Walking the Dog unites two formidable virtuosos of the contemporary classical scene, the Austrian Andreas Mader (saxophones) and the German Joseph Moog (piano).
Walking the Dog is a multifaceted work, an authentic melting-pot, a surprising witness to the richness of the international musical scene at the beginning of the 20th century.
​
One would then encounter styles as diverse as the mambo, the merengue, the habanera, or the samba, or even fusions of these seemingly separate genres.
This recording is an absolutely thrilling album which arouses both curiosity and senses, a true revelation from this surprising duo: it is impossible to resist Andreas Mader's voluptuous saxophone interlocked into the golden piano playing of Joseph Moog!

// Lilith & Lulu
Duo Mader/Papandreopoulos
It is a 60-minute long musical narrative that guides the listener through a dark and mystifying journey. It is there, in this darkness, that the listener meets with the beautiful song and scary sounds of the two night creatures: Lilith & Lulu
​
“Lilith was Adam’s first wife. She was expelled from the Garden of Eden because she refused to submit to her husband. Lilith was then replaced by Eve and returned as the snake, one of her many transformations. Lulu , created by the playwright Frank Wedekind, was a woman born in a broken and patriarchal society. She was taken advantage of because of her raw femininity, forced even to prostitution, while she remained faithful to her nature and desires. Lulu is portrayed so ambiguously by Wedekind and later by Alban Berg that she can be interpreted either as an innocent victim or a femme fatale. Lilith and Lulu share the same blood. It is a shift in humanity’s perspective: the supernatural Lilith seen as a demon of desolate places returns as the human Lulu, formed and corroded by modern civilization, bound for self-destruction. They are two sides of the same coin” (from the booklet)

The booklet includes also interviews with William Bolcom, Nadir Vassena and Sam David Wamper.
