About this product
Wintergesänge by Harald Weiss was composed between 1984 and 1986 in Schreyahn, a small place in northern Germany as well as in Rome, where Harald Weiss lived for one year on a scholarship at the German Academy InchVilla MassimoInch. The cycle was written incidentally rather than by intention, as Harald Weiss says himself, long intervals interrupting the work. The instruments belong mostly to the percussion group and are supplemented or opposed by the human voice in it's various sound-colours. At a studio of the Hessischer Rundfunk Harald Weiss has recorded in playback not only the percussion parts but the vocal parts as well consist of elements sung and spoken. There is no text, words remain unintelligible, evoking at most some associations. However, Harald Weiss has written a couple of poems for his InchWintergesängeInch which he describes as subjective, dissociated thoughts of the composer, like those programmatic titles, which Debussy put at the end of his pieces as aids to comprehension.

Jean FRANÇAIX (1912-1997) was one of the finest French composers and pianists of the twentieth century. Born in Le Mans, into a family with long-standing musical traditions, he was able to develop his innate talents almost naturally from the cradle. Regular contact with outstanding musicians and seasoned music lovers encouraged his artistic development and shaped his extraordinary personality. The present from Karolina Stalmachowska (oboe) is a program of music for pleasure. She is joined by a lineup of talented musicians including Malgorzata Wasiucionek, Maria Shetty, Konrad Bargiel, and more.

There is to be a journey, not too far away, because, after all, it's nicest at home, isn't it? A journey for invited guests, offshore and onshore, by boat and by bus, and a few steps on foot. A journey full of surprises. A journey as a performance. A journey into the night... When looking for a word to best describe Harald Weiss' musical oeuvre, the most applicable certainly appears to be Inchcross-overInch. He has been honored with numerous prizes and awards for his artistic work among others, the Rome Scholarship of the Villa Massimo, the Lower Saxony Scholarship for Film and Music, and a prize from the Premier TV station for his video clips.

Harald Weiss, composer, percussionist, and stage director, applies his artistic energies at the dividing line between music and theater. An experienced composer and performer, he smuggles musical material into visual environments and creates figures for the stage that quietly or restlessly occillate between audible and visible worlds.
