About this product
Volker David Kirchner has repeatedly been denied the recognition he deserves because he is out-of-step with the aesthetic ideas that the avant-garde believed were the only valid ones. For Kirchner, e.g. The reference to the tradition and particularly to the sound of the human voice cannot be denied. His obsidian songs are characterized by almost theatrical drama, while the songs of poems by Else Lasker-Schuler and the cycle Media vita in morte sumus rather emphasize the meditative. The two last mentioned works were written for the mezzo voice heard on this recording, Julia Ostertag.

Although the Symphony and the Requiem appear to be fundamentally different in concept and in the resulting treatment of the musical material, they do have an important point in common. This is the focus of the composer's aesthetic creed which recalls Byzantian thinking a musical statement always contains it's opposite. It is a whole which includes and unites singularity and multiplicity. It is Inchthis-as-well-as-thatInch, yet at the same time Inchne-utralInch (in the original sense of Inchneither-this nor-thatInch). In the end it neutralizes it's musical precondition, it's relation to tradition, distancing itself from tradition, and becoming in it's way an original phenomenon.
