The recording of this very unusual anniversary concert has been made in the historical stairwell of the Higher Regional Court of Cologne at the Reichenspergerplatz: all concepts of playing and composition have been structured in such a way to match the extreme acoustic conditions of the stairwell`s twelve second long echo. Because of their extraordinary communicative abilities Christina Fuchs and Romy Herzberg do have enough time to reflect on their improvisations and thus reinforce the meditative character of the KontraSax cycles.
