  • Description

    Gerald Eckert's third release on Mode is a 2-CD set of mostly works for orchestra, often with electronics. Eckert says: "I am fascinated by orchestral works containing the structures of chamber music. For me, the definition of orchestra is not characterised by its large scale, but gen-uinely through its individual voices." His music explores the marginal edges of sound, fractures in tonal constructs, crys-talline solidification and instabilities which (for him) always symbolize existential dimen-sions. Gerald Eckert, (b. 1960), studied composition with Nicolaus A. Huber and electronic composition with Dirk Reith. He has received numerous prestigious prizes including the C. Gulbenkian Prize, Portugal 1993; the Kranichstein Prize, Darmstadt 1996; 1st prize in Bourges 2003, and 1st prize at the Stuttgart Composition Competition 2005. Top ensem-bles have performed his music including the NDR-Philharmonie, Klangforum Wien, Ensemble Modern, Ensemble Aventure, Ensemble Recherche, Ensemble SurPlus, and Musikfabrik.
