Feminist radicals : Schubert and Wolfgang Rihm - Prégardien, Andrés Orozco-Estrada
[…] innig Roth,Bis an den Tod Soll meine Lieb Dir gleichen,Soll nimmer bleichen, Bis an den Tod,Du glühende Roth, Soll sie Dir gleichen. (You, inward red dawn, until death should my life be like you, never fading,you glowing Redness , ever true.)Thus the minimal piano line (Ulrich Eisenlohr) and restrained declamation in the voice part. A short pause before the last line, which rises high up the scale. Clear traces of the influence of Rihm's teacher, Wilhelm Rihm, and specifically of Killmayer's Hölderlin-Zyklusen.

Moritz's music is notable for its polystylistic qualities, using musical genres from pop to classical music and including the entire body of the sound world in one composition. I recently chatted with him via Skype to find out more. Moritz Eggert and Wilhelm Killmayer I was interested in whether Moritz deliberately thought about style when he was planning a piece, but he sees this as a tricky question - if he could give a definitive answer it would be limiting. For Moritz musical style is like a language, and he is not completely devoted to one particular one and he quotes the example of Mozart […]
