Erratischer Block / Dead Reckoning / August Frommers Dinge / Seuring/Schalter
Product Details
Description
The non-musical findings, coming from filmic and technical realms, reflect Hurt's enthusiasm for conceptual design. The discovered supply of forms and material dictates rules and structures which, however, are broken up again and again by the composer who, thus, surprises the listener with unexpected turns.
The present titles with their varying instrumentations – from string trio (Mondrian Ensemble Basel) via ensemble pieces (ensemble mosaik, Ensemble Resonanz) to orchestral work (Philharmoniker Hamburg) – provide an insight into the various facets of Hurt's oeuvre.
co-production with Deutschlandradio Kultur and Radio SRF 2 Kultur
