The three orchestral pieces on this CD span a period of 50 years, beginning with the Piano Concerto No. 1 composed in 1950 by the then 24-year-old Henze and ending with InchScorribanda sinfonicaInch (literally, Inchsymphonic bandit's raidInch) commissioned by the NDR Symphony Orchestra for Henze's 75th birthday in 2001, in which the composer, with the perspective of several decades' distance, revisits his ballet music InchMaratonaInch created in 1956. Henze InchElements from the older piece reappear on and off like shadows under the surface of the new one, more or less like vague memories, images of young people suffering from pain and despair in their struggle for survival in a barbarous, pitiless modern world.Inch Album Tracks 1. Scorribanda Sinfonica Sopra la Tomba Di Una Maratona FÜR Orchester 2. Antifone FÜR 11 Solostreicher, Bläser Und Schlagzeug 3. Konzert FÜR Klavier Und Orchester

Hans Werner Henze's compositional output is dominated by the larger genres with their richly differentiated palette of instrumental colors. This CD with the Ensemble Recherche allows room to, among others, chamber music works that had been unpublished so far, the manuscripts of which are in the Paul Sacher Foundation in Basel. It collects a mixed bouquet of occasional pieces, dedicated to close friends and colleagues, spanning a time of approximately two decades e.g. Yehudi Menuhin, Leon Fleisher, Paul Dessau or his patroness and friend of many years, Margaret, Princess of Hesse and by Rhine.
