Igor Kuljerić
Renata and Kruno are not solitary musicians. They play in the orchestra, they perform in outstanding chamber ensembles, they shine as soloists in virtuoso concertos. But Renata and Kruno wandered into the same dream, the same garden - the garden that a certain clown resides in (and perhaps cultivates?). The intriguing sound world which they can create with their instruments is constructed in connivance with selected Croatian composers (who wholeheartedly entrust them with their works), binding their stories together with a number of American and German scores. This album of musical miniatures found in the clown’s garden will become a favourite of those with a refined ear. But every ear of every hearer, each bringing along its own imagination, will soon be peering into some special, unique garden of sound open to it alone. An acquaintance with the musician-performers and musician-composers might bring apparent order to the happenstance of meetings in dreams, in gardens, at musical parties.
