Introduction: Symphonic music that deals with the legends and myths of German landscapes - the Black Forest and the Rhine. Both are - especially worldwide - known for the German sense of life and national identity. The music combines the modernity of contemporary music with sound poetic traditions, as they are mainly known from works of Sibelius, Dvorak or Smetana. (The detailed prologues from the booklet can be read if you click at the bottom of the picture bar).
