“It is rare to hear stringplayers with such devotion to the groove. BartolomeyBittmann are easily getting to the very heart of this musical virtue that one does not usually associate with classical instruments: Unrestrained joy and radical rhythms.”
Wolfgang Muthspiel

The respect for the sound of their instruments, as well as a shared passion for creating new sounds, brings two musicians together. The cellist Matthias Bartolomey and the violinist and mandola player Klemens Bittmann are leading their instruments out of their deeply rooted classical tradition to new musical pathways.

With the spontaneity and improvisation of Jazz, their music includes heavy groove and rock elements as well as intimate ballads and fast uptempo compositions.

With their third album Dynamo, out on 2019, BartolomeyBittmann have conceived a daring new musical work that - once again - entices the listener to join them in a fascinating world of sound. Their new program, z e h n, is a celebration of their ten-year anniversary as an ensemble.
