Dietlind Mayer and Céline Papion play the duo for violin and cello by Erwin Schulhoff (1894-1942). As a German Jew, homosexual and committed communist, who moved in a Czech culture and toured Europe, Schulhoff used his outsider status to develop an innovative musical personality. Declared a "degenerate artist", he was deported to a concentration camp in Wülzburg, where he died in August 1942.
