About this product
No romantic artistic life à la Wagner or Puccini stands in the background of Egk's body of work. His artistic personality exhibits no monomania. Egk viewed himself with a certain objectivity; humor, wit, and sarcasm are the characteristic elements of such a distancing self-perspective. In many ways Egk can be considered an heir of the French 18th century, a descendent of Voltaire whom Egk first read and admired in his school years in Augsburg, and who remained an influence throughout Egk's life. So InchLa TentationInch is indicative of Egk's relationship to France, in particular the enlightenment of 18th century rationalism. Janet Walker alto / Werner-Egk-Quartett / Manfred Clement oboe / Ulf Rodenhäuser clarinet / Johannes Ritzkowsky horn / Eberhard Marschall bassoon / Werner Booz double bass. Album Tracks 1. La Tentation de Saint Antoine 2. Die Nachtigall 3. Polonaise, Adagio Und Finale

It happened very much as it did in the 18th century - which Werner Egk considered a kind of spiritual home - where a composer wrote for an ensemble at hand. It was under such circumstances that Egk composed the InchDivertissementInch (1973-74) for eleven winds, the version for winds (1980) of the overture to his early opera InchDie ZaubergeigeInch (The Magic Violin), and the arrangement of Mozart's InchSinfonia concertanteInch in E-flat KV 297b, his last work. The musicians who inspired Egk in these three scores were Klaus Rainer Schöll and the Wind Ensemble of Mainz which Schöll founded in 1967. It is said that Werner Egk had to be persuaded to write music of an intimate character; in his long list of works chamber music plays the smallest role, being limited to the Piano Sonata of 1947 and two pieces for winds dating from the 1970's.
