  • Description

    This album features world premiere, live recordings of two large orchestral works by Erhard Grosskopf, played by renowned performers: the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester, conducted by Johannes Kalitzke and the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin, conducted by Vykintas Baltakas.

    The approach to time and proportions is a central theme in Grosskopf's music because he usually eschews traditional formal structures. "I build a house of time proportions and sounds and hope that the music moves into it" says Erhard Grosskopf, "not like substance into a form, but rather like the spirit into the soul."

    CRITICAL ACCLAIM FOR KlangWerk 11
    Frederic Rzewsky (Composer and pianist): "Very beautiful, somehow timeless …"

    Wolfgang von Schweinitz (Composer): "KlangWerk 11 is truly a superb, fantastic piece with all these rich, wonderfully contrived auratic sounds!"

    Helmut Lachenmann (Composer): "Such colourful music – this piece is purely so well-conceived, that I almost feel an almost personal relation to its sonority and aesthetic concept, although I presume that I am going in a completely different direction myself. Namely due to the fact, that the piece 'avoids' any kind of technical sound escapades makes it so new = totally refreshing."
