"Beyond an impressive degree of accuracy, the playing has much style and grace too. The sound comes across as natural and is balanced well. Thus nothing is dull and mechanical in either the writing or its rendition."
American Record Guide, 01-3-2024Teun & Teun Recorder player Teun Wisse and harpsichordist Teun Braken met each other during their studies at the Utrecht Conservatory in 2012 and have since collaborated and performed in various European countries including Germany, Switzerland, Bulgaria, Scotland, and the Netherlands, where they played in numerous music festivals and concert series such as the Utrecht Early Music Festival and Early Music Season of the Early Music Organisation.
Since 2018, the musicians and good friends have been living and working in the Basel region of Switzerland, where they studied at the prestigious Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. The essence of their approach is to approach music from its cultural and historical context, to create the conditions for a convincing performance and to make the Baroque vocabulary their own.
In their musical performances, Teun & Teun always try to leave room for special musical moments by adopting an open attitude towards each other and the music. Due to their long collaboration and intensive way of working, space is created for spontaneity, resulting in a unique, lively, and captivating performance.

...the character attributed to Van Wassenaer: entertaining, refreshing, with inventive quips and joie de vivre. The performance, which fits the same qualifications, is beautifully captured in the breathing acoustics of the former wooden barn church Zuidervermaning in Westzaan...

(...) listening to Wisse I was immediately impressed by the way he so effortlessly moulded the scores into a pleasing and attractive series of melodies conveying what these Dutch Baroque composers no doubt would have wanted the audience to hear. Enthusiastically supported by Teun Braken, who is not only a gifted harpsichord player having already earned his salt elsewhere, but in this particular case also and more importantly a skilled accompanist. He takes full responsibility for delivering the fundament, a condition sine qua non for a duo to successfully operate.
