KAISER-LINDEMANN: Hommage a Nelson M., Op. 27

It was German cellist Maria Kliegel, featured on this disc, who prompted Kaiser-Lindemann to write for her a work based on the life of the former South African President, Nelson Mandela. The result is a graphic portrait of his imprisonment and struggle for political freedom, the fusion of Western classical music, jazz and folk-music resulting in a brilliant and virtuoso score.
