Song lyrics in German
In this fifth GENUIN release devoted to his music, composer Christian Ridil adds another milestone to his extensive discography. In collaboration with the Vocal Consort of the Berliner Mädchenchor and the Südwestpfälzer Kinderchor, Ridil presents a richly varied program spanning six decades of his creative work. All the pieces — world premiere recordings — include works for women’s and children’s choir alongside solo songs, performed by ensembles and soloists whose artistry brings Ridil’s music vividly to life. From folk-inspired melodies to sophisticated contemporary idioms, this album offers a rewarding journey of discovery through Ridil’s stylistic spectrum — a voyage as captivating as it is illuminating.
