About

Presented for the first time as a whole, the cycle of 8 pieces of 'Die Stücke Der Windrose für Salonorchester' was composed between 1988 and 1994. Mauricio Kagel worked here on the imagination attached to the cardinal points, inventing musical places that create a singular sound universe.

The Ensemble Aleph - a group of musicians and composers - is recognised internationally and displays deep commitment to contemporary creation since 1983, unceasingly seeking new relationships between sound and text, movement and music. In their programmes, they are revisiting major works of the contemporary repertoire as well as discovering young talent.

Ensemble Aleph thumb their noses at bourgeois Eurocentrism. They prove a wonderfully kinetic salon orchestra; swerving in a moment from fin de siècle colonialism to shamanic ritual and whirling, laughing dances. The result is a potent magic-realist brew.
