Einsamkeit – Paul Celan

Concert piece (10:37 min) · 2020

In 2020 the four-movement composition “Einsamkeit ” for symphony orchestra and two singing voices (soprano, mezzo-soprano), based on the poem of the same name by Paul Celan, was recorded by the label “c-room records”. The orchestration varies string quartet passages with an extended chamber music instrumentation to a large symphonic tutti in the final movement. The work was recorded under the baton of Leonard Küßner. Samantha Gaul (soprano) and Marie Seidler (mezzo-soprano) were engaged as soloists.

The use of the text passages was realized in cooperation with Suhrkamp Verlag Frankfurt am Main.
