As every year, NEOS presents the live recordings of the most important premieres at the Donaueschinger Musiktage from last year - this time, however, with an additional special feature: the jazz session is now also included!
Mark Andre, Arnulf Herrmann, Klaus Huber, Helmut Oehring, Enno Poppe, François Sarhan, James Sauners, Hans Thomalla and Hans Zender are the names that made the most visible appearances in Donaueschingen in 2007.
The jazz SACD brings two sessions with Bernhard Lang (Vienna) - previously known as a composer of new music - and Elliott Sharp, the young old master from New York - summarized under the title War Zones (war zones).
The edition is available individually and as a complete package in a slipcase.
