Reiner Bredemeyer, born in 1929, is one of the most famous composers of the former German Democratic Republic. His extensive oeuvre includes chamber music, songs and song cycles, orchestral works, solo concertos, operas, radio plays and stage music. Characteristic of Brede Meyers musical language is a concise, aphoristic concise and clear diction gestural. The CD is now released on WERGO shows a small part of his compositional diversity. The "Bagatelles for example" were Brede Meyers unpathetischer contribution to Beethoven's 200th birthday. For the then "German-German" oboe duo Burkhard Glaetzner and Ingo Goritzki he wrote "Duet / ll" while "Septet 80" for the tenth anniversary of the Leipzig group Neue Musik "Hanns Eisler" originated. "Solo 7" and "striking piece 1" belong to a series of solo pieces, which also can be combined with each other conceptually. "All nine - a Marksmen Music" is a tough and cheerful homage to Heinrich Sch�tz. The setting of the "Winterreise" caused quite a stir, Bredemeyer turns but to the bitterness and sadness, but also "courageous" protest expressing verses of Vormarz poet Wilhelm M�ller his lyre in a contemporary way, the sleepers in defiance and Wilhelm M�ller honor (Ute Wollny). This recording was awarded the "Prize of the German Record Critics' Award - Quarterly list" excellent.
