A Musical Treat ・DomraPiano          Dr. Heinz Linduschka   Main-Echo 29. Nov 2011 Sulzbach.   There   are   concerts,   because   you   regret   every   music   lover,   who   stayed   at   home   for   whatever   reason.   On Saturday   evening,   the   Duomo   DomraPiano   in   the   Sulzbach   St.Anna   church   took   90   minutes   to   enthrall   the   visitors   in the   church   to   true   enthusiasm   storms.   The   applause   after   each   title   would   have   passed   in   normal   concerts   loosely   as   a final   applause.   The   reason   for   this   euphoria,   which   is   rather   rare   to   find   in   classical   music   concerts:   the   duo   Domra Piano   the   young   Domravirtuosin   Natalia   Anchutina   from   Moscow   and   her   congenial   companion   on   the   wing,   born   in Aschaffenburg   Lothar   Freund,   offered   a   musical   journey   through   three   centuries,   not   only   for   Cheers,   but   often   also for   incredulous   amazement   and   admiring   mumbling   provided.   In   fact,   it   was   almost   unimaginable   what   Natalia Anchutina   offered   on   the   Domra   as   she   merged   with   the   instrument   into   a   single   entity.   The   young,   elegant   musician has   found   the   ideal   complement   in   pianist   Lothar   Freund.   Freund,   a   piano   accompanist   of   international   repute,   always found   exactly   the   right   tone,   provided   the   basis   for   the   high-altitude   flights   of   the   Domra,   was   once   again   a   dialogue partner   at   eye   level   and   always   hinted   that   he   could   also   be   an   outstanding   soloist   on   the   piano.   Another   stroke   of luck:   Lothar   Freund   is   also   a   gifted   presenter.   Very   sympathetic,   with   a   gentle   voice   and   varied   presentation,   he entertainingly   informed   between   the   individual   contributions   about   the   peculiarities   of   the   Domra,   about   the   literature presented   and   made   it   clear   again   and   again   in   what   atmosphere,   in   which   environment   the   Domra   could   begin   its triumphal   procession.   It   was   a   look   into   the   Russian   soul   without   the   common   clichés,   which   was   refreshing   and enlightening at the same time.
