traditional folk and ethnic music, such as East-European klezmer music, Turkish, Greek and Romanian dances, Tango, Beguine, ...
The classical repertoire of Duo Controverso ranges from renaissance and baroque-era masters (Bach, Gibbons, Handel, Jenkins, Lasso, Vivaldi),classical and romantic favorites (Chopin, Mendelssohn, Spohr), to French impressionists (Fauré, Debussy, Saint-Saëns) and contemporary composers.
