Larcher, Thomas: Mumien

for cello and piano

A heartfelt love of sound, of small form becomes perceptible. Mysterious landscapes emerge: full of manic concentration, obsession even in submerging into a note, a sound, a small figure, full of turns towards ethereally serene regions with very simple harmonic structures emerging like islands in the rough sea and opening a view onto the sky. Often, the titles already point to the mental landscapes that are turned into sound. (Reinhard Schulz)
