Recording & Production

This album was recorded in the presence of the composer, Georges Lentz, at the Philharmonie Luxembourg in July 2010.

Composer Biography

Georges Lentz, the composer, was born in Luxembourg in 1965 but has resided in Australia since 1990.

Composer's Artistic Vision

The "Mysterium" project incorporates elements like the Pythagorean harmony of the spheres, the solitude of the Australian Outback, and Aboriginal pointillist painting.

Compositional Technique

Lentz's music in "Mysterium" often features "limping bars," where each measure has four beats, and the crotchet reference value can be multiplied or divided by four.

Composition History

The works on this album are part of Lentz's larger "Mysterium" project, which forms the seventh part of his "Caeli enarrant..." cycle.

Composer's Artistic Vision

Lentz's entire compositional output is based on a project called "Caeli enarrant..." (The heavens are telling...), inspired by Psalm 19 and a traumatic realization of the universe's vastness.

Performer Biography

Tabea Zimmermann, the violist on this recording, began learning the viola at age three and has won several international competitions, including the Geneva and Budapest International Competitions.
