Fascinated by the direct expression of the singing voice in opera, she asked Andreas N. Tarkmann to arrange an entire program of arias for her; the resulting album is La Prima Donna. Berlin-born Clara Dent began oboe studies at the University Mozarteum in Salzburg, finishing at Munich's Hochschule f�r Musik.Ms. Dent has been Solo Oboist of the Rundfunk-Sinfonie-Orchestra Berlin since 1999, and professor at the Hochschule f�r Musik in N�rnberg since 2009.

Johann Sebastian Bach’s Markus-Passion BWV 247 was originally performed on Good Friday in 1731. Most of the music has been lost, however, the libretto is still intact. For this recording, instead of reconstructing a recitative, St. Mark’s gospel is spoken. Ensemble Wunderkammer performs the music for this work, conducted by Peter Uehling.

Volker David Kirchner has repeatedly been denied the recognition he deserves because he is out-of-step with the aesthetic ideas that the avant-garde believed were the only valid ones. For Kirchner, e.g. The reference to the tradition and particularly to the sound of the human voice cannot be denied. His obsidian songs are characterized by almost theatrical drama, while the songs of poems by Else Lasker-Schuler and the cycle Media vita in morte sumus rather emphasize the meditative. The two last mentioned works were written for the mezzo voice heard on this recording, Julia Ostertag.
