In this album two Swiss musicians – the cellist Andreas Graf and pianist Evelyne Grandy – transform what is essentially a song recital into a programme of lyrical miniatures for cello and piano.

They thread their own arrangements of melodies by five fellow Swiss composers through some unfamiliar versions of well-known tunes, casting some long-standing favourites in new light and setting them alongside new delicacies.
