“ Nature “
With the cooperation of Bern Academy of the Arts, YAMAHA Music Europe and Krompholz Bern
This recording presents a selection of pieces ranging from the Baroque to the Romantic period to the contemporary era. Their differences make audible as many facets of nature, whether it be the animals in Daquin and Cardinaux, the atmosphere of an evening in Schumann or Debussy, or the sounds of water in all its forms especially by Schultheiss, Debussy, The night is not to be outdone, inspiring composers as diverse as Liszt, Fauré, Scriabin and Migot, each of whom emphasised a particular aspect of it. Mendelssohn, for his part, depicts a 19th-century hunting scene, while Werner sketches the horizon. This collection of works is inserted between two pieces by the American composer Henry Cowell, dedicated to Irish cosmogony and evoking the birth of the Earth. This CD contains three World Premieres by Ulrich Schultheiss and Georges Migot.
