About

In this CD, compositions from the age of classicism are juxtaposed with contemporary works. Such stimulating contrasts point up how closely compositional means and ideas are bound up with the traditions of their period. This is all the more true when contemporary composers seek to come to terms with classical works and texts, and a direct comparison becomes possible with the traditional interpretation of a classical composer.
 
This is the case in the present CD, in which Uwe Kremp and Mark Anton Moebius turn their attention to Robert Schumann’s compositions for male-voice choir. Original compositions by Schumann are interwoven with intensive and highly personal productions by two young composers. 
 
Two groups of Robert Schumann’s songs for four-part male choir are combined with Intermizzi by these two contemporary composers which reflect upon the original Schumann songs. Percussion instruments, oboe and French horns add yet other sounds, enabling the listener to encounter Schumann in a variety of ways.
