Novum in music history, - a symphonic concerto for solo violin and piccolo trumpet. ALTAI - TRACES TO INFINITY is inspired by the infinite vastness and beauty of Kazakhstan and its eastern border towards Mongolia, China and Siberia. ALTAI is a unique natural wonder full of myths. All impressions strongly taken from the essence of Kazakhstan (such as "Weite", "Pferderitt" or "Adlerflug") are arranged as a "kaleidoscope": a dazzling variety of moods. Recommended: the CD recording on the SOLO MUSICA label (from January 2023) with Reinhold Friedrich (piccolo trumpet) and Gregory Assh (violin).

My cooperation with the biologist and wolf researcher Dr. Erik Zimen (1941-2003), with whom I made the ARD series "Wildwege" (Bavaria-Film), was touching and intense. He was the coryophee on the subject of "wolves" and was often compared with the chimpanzee mother Jane Goddal and the greylag goose father Konrad Lorenz (with whom Zimen also studied). - After his documentary about KASACHSTAN (I also was allowed to write the music) he shows us round the Tian-Shan Mountains a part of nature and world with a majestic solitude. - Produced by Jürgen Lehmann Bavaria Film for ARD.
