2025 marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of Johann Strauss Sohn. An occasion for the Duo Praxedis (harpist Praxedis Hug-Rütti and pianist Praxedis Genevieve Hug) to rearrange selected compositions by the composer for harp and piano. The Baba Bussi album also includes works by other composers who have a close connection to Vienna and are firmly rooted in its musical tradition. It is a tribute to Johann Strauss and to Vienna as the ‘world capital of music’ - and is being performed for the first time with this delightful instrumentation.
