BIRGIT MINICHMAYR & QUADRO NUEVO & BERND LHOTZKY - As An Unperfect Actor - Nine Shakespeare Sonnets

In the grand tradition of Shakespearean sonnets comes this delightful collaboration between Birgit Minichmayr, Quadro Nuevo, and Bernd Lhotzky. The album, cheekily titled "As An Unperfect Actor", brings a fresh twist to nine timeless sonnets by the Bard himself.

Minichmayr's vocals are nothing short of mesmerizing, effortlessly weaving through each sonnet with grace and emotion. Quadro Nuevo's jazz-infused instrumentation adds a modern flair to the classic poetry, creating a unique and captivating listening experience.

Lhotzky's piano playing is a standout feature, adding depth and nuance to each track. His delicate touch and impeccable timing elevate the already enchanting sonnets to new heights.

The album as a whole is a masterclass in storytelling and musicality, seamlessly blending Shakespeare's words with contemporary jazz influences. Each track feels like a journey through time, with Minichmayr's vocals guiding the listener through the intricate and emotive landscapes of each sonnet.

"As An Unperfect Actor" is a testament to the enduring power of Shakespeare's poetry, reimagined and revitalized for a modern audience. This album is a must-listen for fans of jazz, poetry, or simply anyone looking for a fresh take on the classics. It's a true gem in the world of music and a delightful surprise for Shakespeare enthusiasts everywhere.
