Gorecki/ Liebchen/ Zemler - Goodnight Mr Gorecki

Gorecki creates pieces where the flute and the piano can and do speak with one voice. Over time, this narrative also includes soprano and percussion, and the resulting contemplative and elegiac character of the entire programme fits into the 10th anniversary of Gorecki's death and turns the entire album into a kind of a farewell ritual of that outstanding composer. This music is about passing away. In Gorecki's raw sounds, there is a life that slowly fades away with each subsequent step and each subsequent breath. The title goodbye Goodnight touches us with it's fragility, but it does not deprive us of hope.
