Ethereal and rather intense by moment, Symphony of Silence and Humility is an album dedicated to life. An album with an approach as symphonic as cinematographic which depicts the vision of Matzumi about the history of life and its evolution on earth. If the history was repeatedly run, Matzumi approaches it with an innocent coolness that Emilsam Velzquez (the Porto Rican Ron Boots) brings back with a great mixing and mastering.

To achieve this very melodic filmic structure Kathrin Manz surrounds herself once again with very experienced musicians (Hellmut Wolf on flutes, Frank Steffen Mller on guitars, Sean O’Bryan Smith on bass and Emilsam Velzquez on mastering), and whose talents transcend Symphony of Silence and Humility beyond the already very symphonic borders of Bravura Apasionada.
