WERGO – New Releases

A "story of 'fixed' and 'open' things" unfolds in Liza Lim's work "Tongue of the Invisible". The composer was inspired by the lyric poetry of the Sufi poet Hafiz.

Mark Andre: Piano Music

Edition Zeitgenössische Musik: Matthias Ockert
Border-crossing between different styles and genres: Being an architect, Matthias Ockert gets ideas for his works even from the art of interior design, transferring spatial structures to the music for example.

Spaces & Spheres. Intuitive Music
