It is one of the magical abilities of musical sounds that they create the most intense "present" and a vital "now!" Therefore, in these TIME TRAVELS, past epochs can be brought into the 21st century and temporal dimensions can experience a sensual vivification: Exactly 400 years before this CD recording, William Byrd (1543-1623) died and is brought back to life here with the magnificent THE BELLS. BRANDENBURGER REMIXED was composed as a tribute to the 300th anniversary of the Brandenburg Concerto No. 2, whose legendary virtuoso trumpet part is still an outstanding benchmark for all trumpet soloists today. - The saxophone concerto SIDDHARTA was composed in 2021 to mark the centenary of the first edition of Hermann Hesse's novel, acclaimed by millions, in which Hesse so unprecedentedly aptly described a living Buddha who takes us back some 2500 years into the past. - Finally, SILK ROAD refers to Marco Polo, probably the most prominent explorer, who died exactly 700 years ago in January 1324 in his birthplace Venice. So let's bring back all these places and times with the colourful sound world of these TIME TRAVELS to experience them all over again
