Recital Duos
Duo with Bernd Brackman
Daniel and Bernd met in 1994 in Edinburgh where they shared with 4 other musicians a very small caravan. The sparks flew and they won the EOE prize at the Oskar Back Competition the next year, that Daniel also went on to win. Since then they have performed very widely throughout Europe as well as in the United States in a wide ranging repertoire from Bach to Lutoslawsky. They have given several world premieres and had works dedicated to them.
