Anna Sophie Dauenhauer and Lukas Maria Kuen enjoy a longstanding partnership on stage, sharing a deep commitment for chamber music since their first collaboration in 2008 in Munich. They are hailed by critics for their lyrical sensitivity, technical mastery, passionate performances and unusual programming, always on the lookout for unknown repertoire, bringing it back in concert halls. After the discovery of Philippe Gaubert´s "Quatre Esquisses" in a Parisian antique music store, they released their highly acclaimed Debut album "Extase" in 2013 with a World Premiere of these pieces, along with a German premiere of Gabriel Pierné´s violin sonata and the A major violin sonata by Gabriel Fauré. Their second album "Inspiration" (2015) with sonatas by Pfitzner and Busoni also attracted critical acclaim. „Dreamer“ (2019) included Max Reger´s last violin sonata, as well as three songs by the composer in an adaption for violin and piano, one of them was thereby presented for the first time. Coupled with two early Schubert sonatas (“ ...this is how Schubert intended it to be” reviewed “Das Orchester”), the recording was nominated for the German classical music award “Opus Klassik”.
