DREAMIN BACKWARDS CD CMS ...about Schubert, Schumann, Satie & Co
THE MAGIC OF CHAMBER MUSIC
This CD is the first in a series of releases of Enjott Schneider's chamber music on the Ambiente-Audio label as "CMS - Chamber Music Series": in contrast to the large and rather anonymous orchestral sound, the works of chamber music allow the performers a high degree of individuality, freedom and personal profile. In addition, unusual ideas and instrumentations can be realized here - far from socialized standardization - as in a research laboratory.
I'm very thankful to have gathered for this recording a group of outstanding soloists, - which performed the program first in a acclaimed Live-Concert at Seidl-Villa in Munich, - and then in a extremely detailled 3Days-production.
New music meets ancient music ... Current timbre of modern music is combined with the spirit of past centuries and creates new worlds full of fantasy and surprising to disturbing twists. The sound journey goes back to the Italian Trecento after 1200, to the English mystic and artist William Blake (1757-1827), to Franz Schubert (1797-1828), Robert Schumann (1810-1856) and to Erik Satie (1866-1925).
