Guitarist Arne Jansen and cellist Stephan Braun have created something unique with their album "Going Home": a musical journey back to the emotional origins, inspired by Jansen's childhood memories of Dire Straits. Growing up with the epic music of Mark Knopfler, Jansen became a guitarist through the song "Telegraph Road", a passion that he reinterprets in this album in a fascinating way.
In "Going Home," the duo explores Dire Straits classics in a way that makes them seem like never before. Jansen and Braun combine their extraordinary skills to infuse the well-known melodies with jazzy, rock and chamber music nuances. As a "one-man orchestra" with his cello, Stephan Braun brings in a whole range of timbres and rhythms that give the songs a new, exciting dimension. Particularly touching is her interpretation of "Brothers in Arms", which is reminiscent of a moving concert in Ukraine and shows how music can connect people worldwide. "Going Home" is more than a tribute to Dire Straits, it is a profound reflection on the power of music to tell personal stories and take listeners back to the magical moments of the first discoveries. "There hasn't been a jazz guitarist of the Berliner's stature in Germany for decades. Maybe never." Jazzthetik
