Emotions are universal. They overwhelm people regardless of their origin and reach across all borders. The two composers Elna Bukvic and Marco Andrea Pes have impressively proven this with their new album "Touched". Bukvic and Pes did not know each other before the production and were more than 2,000 kilometers apart during the entire period: she in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina - he in Dublin, Ireland. It comes as no surprise – Bukvic and Pes each being pianists – that the piano acts as the protagonist in the intimate compositions. Supported by discreet sets of strings and soft synthesizer carpets, the international pair has created a piece of modern classical music that undoubtedly knows how to touch.
