Description
The third volume in the series, which documents the extensive orchestral work by Ernst Helmuth Flammer, deals with existential questions: The beginning and end of being, birth and death, genesis and apocalypse. The albums includes world premiere recordings.
Right at the beginning the weighty "Gethsemani - vor dem Verschwinden und Vergessenwerden" in a recording from 1994 with the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Saarbrücken (today: Deutsche Radio Philharmonie).
If the starting point is the suffering of Christ, then "Durch die Erde geht ein Riß gegen das Vergessen" (here with the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks) refers to the fate of the persecuted and oppressed.
This is followed by the premiere recording of "GEN" with Lothar Zagrosek at the podium of the Stuttgart State Orchestra. Zagrosek's idea was to integrate "GEN" into the course of Joseph Haydn's "Die Schöpfung" and thus to confront it with our broken reality.
As if to brighten up the consolation, the CD closes with "Capriccio" for violoncello and large orchestra (Tilmann Wick, Radio-Philharmonie Leipzig), in contrast to the three previous works, a concert piece in a very classical sense.
