  • Description

    Works by W. A. Mozart have been arranged by Stephan Konig and Thomas Stahr for Konig's jazz trio. The recording was made on May 18th, 2017 in Villa Koerner within the context of the Mozart Festival of Saxony.



    "For me, improvisation is on an equal footing with composition. Improvisation has one advantage over composition in that the interpreter can respond much more directly to each concert situation. That means responding to the concert space, the instrument, the audience's vibes, and especially to the particular emotional state in the room. Composition's advantage is that a composer can fine-tune a piece as long as he needs to, until he believes that it's finished. The risk with improvisation lies in the fact that there is only one temporal opportunity for a tone. There is free-improvisation and improvisation bound to themes; this concert is bound to the musical themes and forms of expression of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. This means that both art forms – improvisation and composition – merge into one another." Stephan König



    The Stephan-König-Trio was founded in 1987. In the first years, in which primarily compositions of Stephan König were featured, Thomas Moritz (double bass) and Jorg Steffens (percussion) were the steady partners of Stephan Konig. Since then, the line-up has changed several times. Depending on the particular musical orientation of the projects, one could hear Stephan 'Grete' Weiser or Tom Gotze on bass, as well as Wolfram Dix or Frank-Endrik Moll on percussion. On this album, Stephan König is playing together with Thomas Stahr (double bass) and Wieland Gotze (percussion).
