Info for Circuli

The contrast between music composed in the 17–18th centuries and music originating from the late 20 th and early 21 th centuries is a common thread running through this album. Each of the pieces relate to the others. Compositions by Samuel Scheidt, Dieterich Buxtehude and Johann Sebastian Bach form a circular connection to the Toccata by Bernard Foccroulle, the anti-toccata Toccatacet by Daniel Glaus and Franz Danksagmüller’s Circuli – the eponymous inspiration for this album. The purely mechanical Reil organ built in 2009 (III/41), which in turn brings baroque organ building principles up to the present day, serves as the perfect instrument for Angela Metzger’s playing style. Danksagmüller’s opus Circuli refers to a significant work of art and creatively explores a performer’s relationship with other art forms. Metzger couples her album Circuli with works by the Reutlingen-based visual artist Susanne Immer. Both women are fascinated and driven by opportunities to dive into specific worlds – specifically when they can use their work to connect seemingly distant art forms.
