About

This setting of Austrian Expressionist writer Georg Trakl’s poems by composer and conductor Fabrice Bollon is the first ever composition for classical singers and solo electric cello. As a result the work’s striking sonorities open unexpected and fascinating new directions for contemporary music. Evocative imagery and colourful writing for electric cello can also be heard in The Secret Garden of the Cordania – a work dedicated to Bollon’s cellist wife. This is our second release of music by Fabrice Bollon, the first of which (8574015) included Four Lessons of Darkness which is the first ever concerto for electric cello, also composed together with Johannes Moser. American Record Guide described the recording as ‘high-octane eclecticism with excellent, committed performances all around’.

February 2023

Bollon scores the work for the unusual combination of soprano, tenor and electric cello, thus continuing his longstanding collaboration with the experimental cellist Johannes Moser. From these minimal forces, Bollon draws an impressive range of sonorities, enhanced and expanded by multitrack techniques...Moser responds with aplomb to the demands of this intensely atmospheric score.

July/August 2023

[Jae-Eun Park] her soprano voice possesses an agility and flexibility for the cycle’s most difficult passages, but it has a weight to it that conveys the gravitas of the words. Similarly, tenor Nutthaporn Thammathi’s voice has a certain vulnerability that channels the looming psychological precipices that fill each effusive poem, but also a strength that carries him through extended unaccompanied passages.
