They play in all variations and change from limp dances to melancholic ballads, from the "Berner Polka" to lively jazz rhythms, the waltz turns into a musette and with the "Mailänderli" one seems to sniff a breeze of Atlantic.

This is because the sisters kept their ears open for other music. Kristina Brunner: "Maria Kalaniemi inspired me strongly. I have known the Finnish accordionist since the Gymer. At that time I began to deal with other musical styles," she says, explaining what "different" means. "Folk music dominated at home. Our father plays Schwyzerörgeli, and from kindergarten age we played with him."

Evelyn Brunner adds: "We had listened so intensively that one day we simply began to replay. Knowledge of music theory is undoubtedly fundamental, but for us music is still not on paper. It develops through experimentation and playing. That's why musical notes are not so important to us."

Both were supported by musicians such as Albin Brun and Markus Flückiger, pioneers of the so-called "New Swiss Folk Music". The sisters don't think much of this categorisation, because the folk musicians have always tried out new and different things and integrated them into their playing. This is what the Brunner sisters do with Finnish sages who are very close to Swiss folk music as well as with jazz sounds, e.g. by Avishai Cohen - and in a very creative way.
