When Asya Fateyeva and the lautten compagney BERLIN combine ABBA's greatest hits with compositions by Jean-Philippe Rameau, you forget that there are around 250 years between baroque and pop. The musical similarities are stronger—from original and catchy melodies to rousing dance rhythms.

Showing the saxophone as a versatile instrument with classical origins - that is the mission of this year's portrait artist Asya Fateyeva. Born in Crimea in 1990, the saxophonist specializes in music from the baroque, classical, romantic and modern periods. For her SHMF artist portrait, she has put together a multifaceted program with a total of 17 concerts and events. These include symphonic works, chamber music, early and contemporary music and a workshop.
For "To the Muse," Asya Fateyeva has reinterpreted French works by Claude Debussy, Paule Maurice, Henri Tomasi, Bertrand Plé, and the medieval Troubadours. The theme of longing runs through the entire album, and Fateyeva and her fellow musicians use this material as inspiration for free arrangements of the pieces in new orchestrations.
