Felix Klieser, on his new album Beyond Words, focuses on the language of music, the stories that it tells all without any words at all. He places the emphasis on the images that arise before our mind's eye when listening to the music, on the emotions triggered by the music. For Beyond Words the hornist has chosen various arias by Bach, Vivaldi, Handel and Gluck, each of which describes the various, self-contained musical worlds they encompass in a very individual manner. What is really important for his album however is not virtuosity, but tonal expression, according to Felix Klieser: 'It needs to be easy to put into action. The songfulness and the expressive range of sound should always be at the heart, always be the focus.' Listeners are being told a story that is open to any interpretation at all, and this allows them to immerse themselves in a purely musical world.
