About

This album features world premiere, live recordings of two large orchestral works by Erhard Grosskopf, played by renowned performers: the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester, conducted by Johannes Kalitzke and the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin, conducted by Vykintas Baltakas.

The approach to time and proportions is a central theme in Grosskopf’s music because he usually eschews traditional formal structures. “I build a house of time proportions and sounds and hope that the music moves into it,” says Erhard Grosskopf, “not like substance into a form, but rather like the spirit into the soul.”

“Very beautiful, somehow timeless ...” - Frederic Rzewski (composer and pianist)

KlangWerk 11 is truly a superb, fantastic piece with all these rich, wonderfully contrived auratic sounds!” - Wolfgang von Schweinitz (composer)

“Such colourful music - this piece is purely so well-conceived, that I almost feel an almost personal relation to its sonority and aesthetic concept, although I presume that I am going in a completely different direction myself. Namely due to the fact, that the piece ‘avoids’ any kind of technical sound escapades makes it so new = totally refreshing.” - Helmut Lachenmann (composer)
