About
Christoph draws inspiration from a variety of musical role models, including contemporary and centuries past, paying homage to the time-honoured evolution of classical music that has melded current conventions with popular styles. Traditional forms, such as sonata and concerto, are imbued with jazz, blues, bossa nova and improv to create, as Christoph puts it, "a musical and cultural melting pot."
Christoph's compositional urge was spurred by the pandemic and lockdown. The four works on Voyage Exotique were written between 2020 and 2022. He also cites current world events as a motivating influence. His First Cello Concerto, imbued with high-wire virtuosity that makes full use of the cello's - and Christoph's - capabilities, opens a programme that also includes an imaginary intergalactic journey in the form of a Clarinet Trio, and a Sonata for cello and piano that is by turns pensive, agitated and longing, yet ultimately hopeful. The title track, a "Grand duo" for two cellos is, in the truest sense of the word, an "exotic journey" through foreign sound cultures and myriad cello effects.
