In her new album "Intimacy", zither soloist Sarah Luisa Wurmer (*2002), winner of the Fanny Mendelssohn Prize 2025, combines old and new music to create a multi-layered dialog of sound. The centerpiece is Suite No. 6 in D major BWV 1012 by Johann Sebastian Bach in her own arrangement for alto zither. In between are four works written especially for the project by Dorothea Hofmann, Leon Zmelty, Eva Kuhn and Julius von Lorentz, which illuminate intimacy, touch and vulnerability from different perspectives. The final piece is Steve Reich's "Piano Phase" in an arrangement for zither duo. With technical precision, tonal sensitivity and a transcultural repertoire, Sarah Luisa Wurmer opens up new spaces of expression for her instrument and invites us to experience music anew as a place of encounter.
