For the latest project FriendShip the legendary quartet around Russian horn virtuoso Arkady Shilkloper, Irish-Swiss pianist John Wolf Brennan, Florian Mayer (violin) and Rätus Flisch (bass) has teamed up with singer Sonja Morgenegg and percussionist Tony Majdalani. Dis-Covering rock classics by Yes, Pink Floyd, The Police, Fay Lovsky, Jon Lord, John Lennon and Paul McCartney, Arabic rhythms and old Celtic-Swiss folk songs, they create never-before-heard soundscapes, giving the term “unplugged” a completely new meaning.
