The new CD by Tabea Zimmermann and Ensemble Resonanz has been released and is already Album of the Week and CD Tip at BR Klassik, where it is highly praised as a “simply delightful interpretation”! www.br-klassik.de/aktuell
From the youthful sound of Enescu's Octet to Britten's touching late composition “Lachrymae,” Ensemble Resonanz and Tabea Zimmermann let us rediscover two world-encompassing works—full of inner movement, between retrospection, melancholy, and transcendence. The recording showcases the ensemble's supreme musical precision and joy of playing, characterized by collective dedication and Zimmermann's concept of “shared pulsation.”
George Enescu (1881-1955) String Octet in C major, Op. 7 (version for string orchestra)
Benjamin Britten (1913-1976) Lachrymae, “Reflections on a song by John Dowland,” Op. 48a (version for solo viola and string orchestra)

An audio piece on the phenomenology of hearing in three parts
“Can you hear the crackling in your ears? How the tentacles of sound waves grow out and feel their way through the world?” What makes you prick up your ears and stirs your memory? Five voices speak to you and ask, “What do you hear?” You immerse yourself in the phenomenon of the sensuality of hearing. A shimmering, crackling, and rustling sound collage awakens memories of the familiar for just a few brief moments. Our two ears enable us to recognize the direction from which the sound is coming. When you focus your attention on the headphones, the shift of the sound source to the left, right, front, or back can give you the feeling of how sound makes you sway. At the same time, the sound collage attunes you to the world and sensuality of your hearing.

In the grand hall of the Berlin Philharmonic, Daniel Harding, music director of the Rome orchestra, sets sail on the high seas as captain of a fully crewed ship of sound at the Berlin Music Festival. With Claude Debussy's “La Mer,” the musicians of the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia plunge into meditative, ecstatic waves and, together with the singers of London Voices, embark on a journey with Luciano Berio's ‘Sinfonia’ – according to the composer – “on the Mediterranean Sea of Western art music.” In the “Folk Songs,” mezzo-soprano Magdalena Kožená presents Berio's musical discoveries. The concert was recorded for broadcast on September 18, 2025, on Deutschlandfunk Kultur.

The CD with premiere recordings by composer Dorothee Schabert has been released!
A violin sound is not a rough rock, nor a bird cawing over the snow, nor is the breeze from a flute the wind that blows over the Sami National Park in the far north of Scandinavia. The sounds in these five audio landscapes are far from a naturalistic reproduction of reality. And yet they lead us into a state of auditory “contemplation”. They transform landscape experiences into music that - and this is special - can be experienced like a landscape.

The composer Zara Ali unhinges the resonanz raum and makes concrete vibrate. She shifts walls, bends steel and shapes sounds out of architecture. An ensemble and four loudspeakers scale the space, set sound in motion and surround sound in a new geometry - until every direction flows. Up? Down? No seat remains fixed, no perspective unchanged.

The new CD with music by Miklós Rózsa will be released on April 4, 2025!
Sinfonia concertante · Rhapsody for cello and orchestra · Notturno ungherese
Harriet Krijgh, cello
Nikita Boriso-Glebsky, violin
Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz
Gregor Bühl, conductor
Label: cappricio
This release explores the rarely performed or recorded concert music of Miklós Rózsa (famous for his sound track of Ben Hur ), coupling his Rhapsody for Cello in which the young composer truly found his style, his Notturno Ungherese (“a nostalgic night piece, harking back to the memories of my childhood in Hungary”), and the late Sinfonia concertante for violin and cello, a fiendishly difficult violin-cello double concerto that is among Rózsa’s finest, least film-music-like concert works and one of his most underrated. Gregor Piatigorsky and Jascha Heifetz, who instigated its composition, never ended up playing it, but Harriet Krijgh and Nikita Boriso-Glebsky certainly do.
