Lotte's Gift at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe

Lotte's Gift enjoyed a 24-performance season at the 2009 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, performing to enraptured and effusive audiences, and receiving glowing reviews:

Slipping effortlessly between characters, Schaupp is particularly impressive as the resilient Lotte, whose joie de vivre illuminates even the darkest phases of her life.

SPAIN - Great Guitar Concertos (new CD)

The long-awaited release of Spain (ABC Classics) features Karin performing Rodrigo's masterpiece, as well as two exquisite rarities. Filled with the passion, beauty and fire of the Mediterranean soul, these magnificent Spanish guitar concertos provide an ideal vehicle for Karin's renowned intensity and flamboyance.

Recorded with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Benjamin Northey, Karin's stunning interpretation of Rodrigo's immortal Concierto de Aranjuez is balanced by the sublime but hitherto rarely-performed Concertino in A minor by Salvador Bacarisse.

For Castelnuovo-Tedesco's equally ravishing Romancero Gitana, Karin is joined by Cantillation in a spell-binding combination of classical guitar with choir.

See Karin discuss the album on YouTube.
