Album & Artwork
The album "Ebenbild" is a continuous narrative where the boundaries between musical genres and between music and language blur.

This album includes a world premiere recording of the "Quatuor en ré mineur" by Charles Bochsa, a piece connected to Juri Vallentin's student days in Paris.
Compositional Technique
The album concludes with the unfinished last counterpoint, "Fuga a 3 Soggetti," from J. S. Bach's "The Art of Fugue," which abruptly breaks off after the B-A-C-H theme appears.
Performer Biography
Oboist Juri Vallentin, a professor at the Hochschule für Musik Karlsruhe, constantly seeks new forms of expression for his instrument, drawing inspiration from collaborations with other artistic fields.
Composer's Artistic Vision
The album's central theme revolves around the melody of the simple church hymn "O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden," which Johann Sebastian Bach used repeatedly in his major works.
