Flying high over Bavarian and Hellenic countryside: "Raven" is the newest CD out on the Genuin label and places works by Mikis Theodorakis and Harald Genzmer side by side. From lofty heights, connections become clear, the tonal sensibility of both composers stand out and listeners can enjoy the immediacy of meandering melodies and the shimmering lakes of sound. No matter how high the praise for these geographical soundscapes – the tonal beauty of mezzo-soprano Carolin Masur’s singing in Theodorakis’ "Raven", Kirsten Ecke’s gloriously intoned harp playing, and the splendid sound of the Mitteldeutsche Kammerphilharmonie conducted by Stefanos Tsialis deserve all the listener’s attention as well.
