Series at present 10 productions Franziska Pietsch

​As an emerging talent in the GDR, Franziska Pietsch enjoyed special state support. After her father's escape to the West in 1984, two years of reprisals by the regime followed, intensively shaping Franziska Pietsch's understanding of music: deprived of any possibility of playing concerts or taking lessons, her chosen path towards hope - against desperation, refusal, fear and despotism - led inwards. Music became the only language in which she was able to express herself freely and which gave her the necessary strength to withstand external circumstances, continuing to hope for freedom. These were the origins of the intensity and artistic depth which characterise Franziska Pietsch's playing to the present day.
Pietsch's releases on the audite label present works which reflect facets of her own biography to a significant degree.

Series at present 2 productions Salaputia Brass

What do you get when eleven young musicians join together, who met already as young musicians while playing for the Bundesjugendorchester (German National Youth Orchestra) and now play as professional musicians in famous German orchestras? Salaputia Brass - a first-class brass ensemble, with a wide-ranging repertoire.

On their debut CD "Sounds of Evolution", the young musicians present their commissioned works, written especially for their formation by well-known composers from around the world, including great names such as Daniel Schnyder, Derek Bourgeois and Ingo Luis.

The follow-up CD "Signals from Heaven" combines spirituals and spiritual music by Takemitsu, Gabrieli, Monteverdi, Gershwin and Ellington. The developed concept of this CD by Jeroen Berwaerts, who performs here in cooperation with Salaputia Brass as a trumpet soloist and jazz vocalist and directs the ensemble, does not represent "crossover" but a combination of voices which have something to say to one another. This search for a soulful profundity in music unites all participating artists, as well as the aim of connecting people through music.​

Series 2 of 2 productions Ulrich Roman Murtfeld: American Recital

​​This cross-section of North American piano music immerses the listener in a fascinating musical cosmos that is especially notable for its stylistic variety. In its search for an identity, this variety has been characteristic of American music from its beginnings - a unique situation resulting in permanent cultural exchange.
During volume 1 of this series is focusing on the years 1850-1890 with compositions by Gottschalk, Gershwin, Barber, Rzewski and Glass, the pieces presented in the second release span 150 years, ranging from sonatas by the British-born American composer Alexander Reinagle, written in 1790, to works by Roger Sessions (written around 1940), one of the most significant representatives of academic American modernism. 

Series at present 3 productions Rediscovery of Gregor Joseph Werner

​Gregor Joseph Werner (1693-1766), a titan at the birth of Viennese classicism, was Joseph Haydn's immediate predecessor as Kapellmeister at the Esterházy court. First and foremost a pre-eminent composer of Latin sacred music, the majority of his instrumental music has been lost.
Werner's oeuvre, difficult to access and almost only available in individual parts, has been researche for decades by Lajos Rovatkay, who is also the conductor in these performances. Together with a stellar cast of soloists and la festa musicale, he now presents impressive interpretations of the works of this unjustly neglected master.

Neuigkeit Jan 15, 2004 News audite and SACD

Our first Surround-SACD „Touching Colours“ will carry you off directly into the acoustics of the Gothic church St. Arnual. Orchestra and organ are powerfully built up before you, velvety carpets of string sound and dazzling sound mixtures surround you. The precision and power of the full orchestra are close enough to grasp, with the organ's tone colours present in every detail.

The sonic fascination and superiority of the SACD-Surround recording becomes obvious in this production. This SACD release is also playable on any normal CD player, in that case with the usual CD quality. But whoever wants to experience the entire dimension of the sound and listen into the depths of the cathedral's space should play this recording on a SACD player.

The soloist Christian Schmitt has been a prize winner at numerous international organ competitions. As a special honour, he was awarded the European Soloists' Prize of the foundation "Pro Europa" at the Lucerne Festival in September 2003. Together with Johannes Wildner, Music Director of the Westphalian New Philharmonic and international guest conductor, and the Saarbrücken Radio Symphony Orchestra, playing with great commitment and precision, the recording turnes into a unique voyage of sound and interpretation. You should not miss out on this special experience for your ears!
