About

Four of the composers on this recording met in real life – in Potsdam, in spring 1747. In this album they are reunited, joined by the flautist-composer who brings their encounter to life once more, the Swiss-born Markus Brönnimann. The stylistic contrasts between works three centuries apart serve to accentuate their strengths, the formal elegance of the earlier pieces underlining the expressive liberty of the recent ones. Brönnimann combines the two worlds with his luminous arrangement of one of the best-known of all classical compositions.

“The [...] album presents works from four different composers, all of them intrinsically linked to the Grand-Duchy and its music industry: Camille Kerger, Marcel Reuter, Georges Lentz and Markus Brönnimann. Their compositions revolve around the theme of light, sometimes bright and dazzling, sometimes subdued and dark, as well as the theme of autumn with its bright colours and joys, and the decline and sadness behind. Delicate sounds and rich harmonies, as well as an intensive dialogue between the performers of the different scores!” – kulturlx.lu (Echoes of Autumn and Light, TOCN0011)
