Together with the renowned Rasch\u00e8r Saxophone Quartet, the Hanover Girls’ Choir is exploring new sounds: On the one hand, there is the first recording of Christian Morgenstern’s “Galgenlieder”, set to music by Lera Auerbach. While the choir skilfully elevates sighing and breathing to musical means in addition to classical singing, the Rasch\u00e8r Saxophone Quartet “growls” to it, plays pizzicati, glissandi and sometimes even flutters. This inspires amazement at the diverse sound possibilities, sometimes a smile or reflection on the texts set to music, but always an intense listening experience.
\nThe saxophone ensemble shows its full potential with the first recording of Mark Alan Taggert’s melancholy “Sorrow” and an arrangement of Johann Sebastian Bach’s Fugue in B major from the second part of the Well-Tempered Clavier.
\nJan M\u00fcller-Wieland’s “Lianen”, a commissioned work for the M\u00e4dchenchor Hannover, also recorded for the first time on this album, combines choir, piano and live electronics to create an extremely colourful sound.
