PÜTZ, M.: Orchestral Music - Moods / Elegia (Luxembourg Contemporary Music, Vol. 2) (Berkel, P. Schwartz, Cottbus State Theatre Philharmonic, Merzyn)

Marco Pütz gained international recognition after winning awards for his compositions in the mid-1990s. Accessibility and enjoyment for both audiences and musicians are a central element in Pütz’s music, and he is renowned for numerous symphonic, wind band and chamber works that have become standard repertoire throughout the world. Euphonia’s Voice is part of an exploration of lesser-known instruments, and the virtuoso contrasts of joy and grief in Chapters of Life are always at the service of expressiveness – the power of love, life and the commemoration of those close to us forming a theme throughout much of this superb programme.
