“As artists we are chroniclers of the emotions of a particular time, and if we are lucky, our chronicles radiate a little, illuminating the path” (Moritz Eggert). This recording with the Stuttgart Kammerorchester shows how diverse these paths and emotions can be. The spectrum ranges from pieces such as “Der Rabe Nimmermehr Ouvertüre” to “Tetragrammaton”, specially composed for the ensemble, as well as “Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen”, a homage to Mahler and the almost extinct tradition of the orchestral chanson which was written with, and for, Inga Humpe.more

Moritz Eggert – “Chronicler of Emotions”
“A composer is someone who has a lot of music in his head which needs to get out.” That is how Moritz Eggert once described to some children the act of composing. “As artists we are chroniclers of the emotions of a particular time, and if we are lucky, our chronicles radiate a little, illuminating the path.”
Moritz Eggert’s new SACD with the Stuttgart Kammerorchester shows how diverse these paths can be. The spectrum of the works presented here is great and ranges from pieces such as Der Rabe Nimmermehr Ouvertüre to Tetragrammaton which was composed for the Stuttgart Kammerorchester and which almost drills into sound.
As a special guest artist, Inga Humpe of ‘2raumwohnung’ sings Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen, a piece co-written with Moritz Eggert. This encounter of two different musical spheres results in a touching orchestral chanson which, through its history of origin and the use of Rückert’s text, is also a homage to Gustav Mahler.
Ich habe diese äußerst gelungene Version des Rückert-Liedes während des Rezensionszeitraumes sicher zehnmal gehört, was einiges verrät über die Eingängigkeit der wehmütigen Harmonien und die Attraktivität der filmabspannmäßigen (Melodrama!) Orchesterarrangements (mit E-Gitarre!). Die CD kann man allein schon wegen dieses Songs kaufen.Mehr lesen
