The ensemble KLANGKOLLEKTIV WIEN as newly founded orchestral body in the Austrian cultural landscape has already with their first Schubert recording (Gramola 99180) been met with an enthusiastic reception. The unique approach of the musicians with conductor and sound designer Rémy Ballot to get to the bottom of the works of Viennese classical music and to reveal their inner logic, leads to a new understanding of orchestra. Gramola now publishes a concert recording of the Vorstadt premiere in Viennas Penzing district with Beethovens Symphony No. 3 Eroica as well as the Egmont Overture for the Beethoven year 2020 (250th anniversary of his birth). The musicians gathering within KLANGKOLLEKTIV WIEN feel the need to interpret the works of their professional everyday life out-side of the music business in a different way for themselves and the public. By working together with Rémy Ballot, with his deep understanding and knowledge of the works and their inner logic, as well as his ability to unfold the magic of interplay, they have the opportunity to realize this inner passion, artistic exploration and expression. This responsibility, which everyone feels, is based on mutual trust, defines the ensembles sound and leads to a new understanding. Remy Ballot is guest conductor of numerous orchestras in Europa. Special ties connect him with the Festival Brucknertage St. Florian, where each year he rehearses and performs a symphony by Anton Bruckner.
