Rebecca Clarke / Franz Schubert / Betsy Jolas / Margareta Ferek-Petric / Franz Schubert / Hugo Wolf / Kaija Saariaho / Hugo Wolf / Maurice Ravel / Arnold Schonberg: Entre Deux Mondes

Entre deux mondes ('Between Two Worlds') is a journey through different spheres and a breaking away from borders. In order to reach a truly diverse perspective on the possible meanings of this subject, the featured composers are distinctly contrasted - both male and female, from the Romantic period to the present day, and in a variety of languages. This is Klaudia Tandl and Gisela Jöbstl's debut album. "The song cycle Plupart du temps by the French composer Betsy Jolas has fascinated us since first discovering it. Her music and Pierre Reverdy's sur-realistic imagery are like a playground for possible interpretations. We were truly drawn into this world where there is so much room for different perspectives. Out of this playfulness emerged a versatile program that emphasizes the apparent incomprehensible, inconceivable and improbable - seemingly out of this world. For us, that is the wonder of these works - they draw you into different spheres. Some-times seriously confronting - sometimes playfully light - sometimes sensually seductive. Entre deux mondes (Between two worlds) - taken from the first song of the cycle Plupart du temps - seems to us the ideal title to unite this abundance of facets." (Klaudia Tandl und Gisela Jöbstl)
