Stefan Prins: Augmented

“In his compositional work, Prins seeks to critique received convention, to break the framework of the usual, and dispose of aesthetic axioms.” (Michael Rebhahn). This new KAIROS release combines ensemble works with the monumental Piano Hero cycle, performed by Stephane Ginsburgh. With a DVD and a CD, this release offers nearly five hours of music, including a performance of Daniel Linehan’s “Hiatus” dance ensemble, and recordings of Klangforum Wien and the Nadar Ensemble. “It is not music that mourns an undefined feeling of loss, but one that chooses resolutely to look into the future with confidence.” (Peter Matthynssens, cellist, Nadar Ensemble)
