Stefan Schleiermacher - Music Around the Bauhaus - Wolpe, Hauer, Vogel & Antheil

This extraordinary CD sheds light on a phase in German cultural history never before documented with such encyclopedic depth. Here the pianist SteffenSchleiermacher, the recipeint of various ECHO Classics prizes for his interpretations of twentieth century music, presents music by elected composers from the Bauhaus movement.This journey back to the 1920s is a gripping experience not only because of its compositional rarities but also because of Steffen Schleiermacher'smagic touch. This pianist, director of the Ensemble Avantgarde, and important advocate of contemporary music made the critics almost speechless withastonishment with his lauded John Cage series:... a truly outstanding and fascinating musician. - (Gramophone)
