Composer: Camille Kerger, Georges Lentz, Marcel Reuter, Markus Brönnimann
Artists: Kammerata Luxembourg

These five pieces – all written by Luxembourgeois composers within the past decade – draw on the flexible forces of Kammerata Luxembourg to generate a kaleidoscopic range of colours and textures. Though the music is unapologetically modernist in style, it is presented in instrumental combinations remarkable for their delicacy and gentle contours – in the aural equivalent of a walk through autumn woods.

FIRST RECORDINGS

1 review for Echoes of Autumn and Light: New Chamber Music from Luxembourg

  1. :

    ‘All performances are first rate as everyone sings and plays with wholehearted commitment and the recording is excellent. Short biographies and notes by the composers are included, as well as the sung texts. All this makes for a most worthwhile release which again sheds some light on a somewhat neglected byway of the contemporary musical scene. At the risk of repeating myself, this release is well worth exploring, for there is really much to enjoy here.’
