This project set out to achieve two goals. First, the recreation of the Mass celebration with musical means alone, and second, the contrast of the Renaissance mass and modern day choral works. The album is divided into two parts. The first is choral works, with works by Orlando di Lasso, Ko Matsushita, Eric Whitacre and more. The second section of this album is devoted to organ works by composers such as Hassler, Frescobaldi, John Cook, and Harald Feller. Performing these works is the Carl Orff Choir, Marktoberdorf, and organist Peter Bader.

The works recorded here reveal a refined and original style, especially when Susanne Lang delves into the spiritual world of Gunst with her sensitive musicality... Susanne Lang captures these moods and styles in exemplary fashion, making the most of dissonant tensions and of quasi-impressionistic timbres alike. This makes one want to hear more. - Fono-Forum on Vol. 1 Susanne lang has performed in such major concert halls as the Glinka Museum in Moscow, the Liederhalle in Stuttgart and the Zurich Tonhalle. "As I see it, my task as a pianist is to give form and expression to the notes in the spirit of the composer. The music, therefore, is always a dialogue." - Susanne Lang

To celebrate his thirtieth performing jubilee in April 2016, Ingolf Turban has recorded the violin sonatas of Johannes Brahms. This artist is proud to offer his listeners something special to stand out from the not inconsiderable competition in this field: Each sonata receives its own instrument in order to develop, in each case, the special tone for the particular voice with which Brahms, as the lover, speaks to his secret beloved- with different “voices”, as it were, all from the same mouth. Ingolf Turban has performed as a soloist in the Philharmonic Orchestras of Berlin and Munich, the Kennedy Center in Washington, New York’s Avery Fisher Hall, Zurich’s Tonhalle, and La Scala in Milan. He became known worldwide after recording Paganini’s violin concertos in the television documentary “Paganini’s Secret.” (2006)
