Christoph Maria Wagner’s oeuvre contains around fifty compositions including several large-scale works for a wide range of genres and ensembles. On this recording he reinterprets, together with the E-Mex ensemble, known works and German folk songs. His goal: “To open ears” with his radical reinterpretation. Christoph Maria Wagner studied at the Musikhochschule Koln with Krzysztof Meyer and Volker Wangenheim. Since 1995 he has been a professor there. As a conductor, he is committed above all to the music of the 20th and 21st centuries. He has worked with numerous modern composers and several ensembles, particularly the E-MEX Ensemble. He has been pursuing the idea of “remix” compositions since 2009.
