Adriana Hölszky: KARAWANE [SACD]

"Karawane - Vampirabile - Klaviatur der Mythen" (World Premiere Recording!)
Hybrid-SACD

Adriana Hölszky is one of the most important and renowned contemporary composers in Europe. On this new HYBRID-SACD, you will hear the world premiere recording of her "Klaviatur der Mythen." For the first time, the multi-layered and multi-dimensional music of Adriana Hölszky is presented on a medium that does justice to her composition: SACD in multi-channel format!

Movement in Space

Surround sound provides the perfect platform for Hölszky's composed music. The recording was already realized in high-resolution audio technology and surround sound: the movement in space is captured authentically, resulting in a natural and realistic depiction of the composition in the room, enhancing the live character of the performance. Hölszky's question, "Where does the sound come from and where does it go?" and the resulting tensions are made perfectly audible through surround sound. The subjective static nature of time perception acquires a special energy in the space, immersing the listener in an acoustic "time-space journey."

"The surround sound on the SACD production featuring works by Adriana Hölszky is of fascinating concreteness. 'Karawane' for twelve percussionists and the ghostly piece 'Vampirabile,' a vocal classic from the eighties, come frighteningly close to the listener, while 'Klaviatur der Mythen' for six percussionists and string orchestra impresses with the lightness and transparency of its sound. The intensity of Adriana Hölszky's music is heightened to the extreme by the surround technology."
