LR 02

Schnittke, Alfred: Concerto grosso no.1

Classical roots paired with amazing imagination: a 20th-century version of the baroque concerto grosso.

LR 01

Barber, Samuel: Adagio

Modern classical music ... perhaps the most famous... and one of the saddest pieces...

LR 01

Panufnik, Andrzej: Autumn Music

Tranquillity and beauty.

LR 01

Gundermann, Karsten: Faust

A fascinating and heartbreaking “night game” on the Faust theme.

LR 01

Penderecki, Krzysztof: Polish Requiem

Incredible requiems were born in the common practice period. The 20th and 21st centuries are no exception.

LR 01

Eno, Brian: Emerald and Stone (arr. Knoth)

Demanding music works the same way. Or does the tone of the violin add something to the original version?

LR 01

Penderecki, Krzysztof: 3 Pieces in Old Style

Music that is much more than an exercise in style…

LR 01

Stravinsky, Igor: Le Sacre du Printemps

Sacre ... an absolute classic: incredible power, dynamics, and rhythm.

LR 01

Schnittke, Alfred: Concerto For Viola And Orchestra

Transition to Listening Room 2 with Schnittke's perfect sense of beauty and morbidity.

LR 03

Bauckholt, Carola: Laufwerk

“Mechanical devices”: carefully building a coherent whole from essential parts.

LR 03

Romitelli, Fausto: Flowing down too slow

Nothing to add or remove from the title: "Flowing down too slow.".

LR 03

Buene, Eivind: Miniatures

A feeling of surrealism.

LR 02

Matalon, Martin: Le scorpion

This site isn’t about soundtracks, but this music composed for a surreal film is worth the exception.

LR 02

Bartók, Béla: Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta

Sinister music has to be so beautiful.

LR 02

Schnittke, Alfred: Concerto Grosso No.5

Schnittke cannot be resisted. Here you can find another baroque concerto grosso with a slightly heavier tone.

LR 03

Vivier, Claude: Zipangu

Ligeti himself recommended Vivier’s music to people’s attention in one of his interviews. No better reference.

LR 03

Filidei, Francesco: Ballata No. 7

Sad and touching desert island music.

LR 03

Ivičević, Mirela: Case White

Attack and fall.

LR 03

Ligeti, György: Chamber Concerto

Entering into Ligeti‘s harder to follow music, which is, at the same time, a fantastic universe.

LR 03

Mitterer, Wolfgang: inwendig losgelost, rasant

Modern baroque music with electronics in Listening Room 3. Needless to say more.

LR 03

Sánchez-Verdú, José M.: Paisajes del Placer y de la Culpa

Landscapes of Pleasure and Blame. VERY special atmosphere.

LR 03

Buene, Eivind: Lessons in Darkness

A unique piece of music from 2017: fundamental lack of light or rather blackness. Your lessons?

LR 04

Gander, Bernhard: Dirty Angel

Failed takeoffs with accordion and flugelhorn.

LR 04

Haas, Georg Friedrich: Limited approximations

Desert island music with six (!) micro-tonally tuned pianos.
