Christian Winther Christensen: Almost in G |
|
 |
|
A distinctive language, an original tone, a unique voice – all these phenomena are rarely experienced as convincingly as in Christian Winther Christensen’s music. Earlier periods may flicker up once in a while, yet this music is fundamentally and radically of the 21st century. Yes, these are classical instruments. And yes, this is New Music. But the familiar elements are assembled and rearranged in ways that make you want to listen to this music again and again, wherever you are, whatever you’re doing ... and regarding SCENATET we're delighted to welcome one of the most innovative ensembles in Europe with us at col legno!

Annette Bik: Double Bach |
|
 |
|
On her first solo album, Annette Bik (violinist with the Klangforum Wien) presents a fascinating experiment: she asked leading contemporary composers to write a double of each movement of Bach’s famous “Partita in h-Moll” - so we as listeners are in the unique situation of being able to experience a Bach double double, a stroke of genius in the mirror of our times, a fascinating auditory document where the greatest virtuosity and immediate impact come together in a rare coalescence.

Gnigler: Straight On, Downstairs, 2nd Door Left |
|
 |
|
Founded in 2013 by the young Austrian saxophonist Jakob Gnigler, the sextet has created its own musical world, full of the unexpected and the unpredictable.

Xiaoyong Chen: Imaginative Reflections |
|
 |
|
| The sounds on this album seem to come from another world. They spread through space, then disappear, or rather: fade away, evaporate, crystallize, settle as a sediment. This music is about fading away, about reverberations, echoes. European instruments sound Asian, and Asian instruments are integrated into European art music. Find the album right here. |
