Henze's two great guitar sonatas based on Shakespeare's characters verily breathe life into Romeo and Juliet, Oberon or Lady Macbeth. And they are aptly complemented by music from Shakespeare's time – Dowland's marvelously contemplative lute pieces. Henze wrote the two sonatas of his Royal Winter Music in 1975/76 and 1979, at the suggestion of the English guitarist Julian Bream. What Henze had in mind was a kind of "fortepiano sonata" for guitar; and the result of his efforts was indeed guitar music of an incredible technical sophistication, even though with a literary background: "The two violent characters Gloucester and Lady Macbeth form an unrelenting musical and spiritual bracket around the Royal Winter Music. It is the power players that keep the wheel of history turning; but Henze does not only deal with the outward progress of the story but mainly with the inner development of the Shakespearean characters. From this perspective Hans Werner Henze met the high requirements demanded from his work, creating an outstanding piece of 20th century guitar music." (Stephan Stiens) An immensely intelligent, dramatically superb combination interpreted by the lutenist/guitarist Stephan Stiens.

Gnomic Variations: conciseness from the inside of a piano. Processional is driven by an incessant pulse, whereas Ancient Voices is based on poems by Garcia Lorca. 
Xiaoyong Chen assisted by the E-MEX-Ensemble and the Chai Found Music Workshop, conducted by Christoph Maria Wagner. A co-production with Deutschlandfunk. 
This music is about fading away, about reverberations, echoes. European instruments sound Asian, and Asian instruments are integrated into European art music.
