Muller:
Am Anfang - Drei Versuchen die Welt zu Erfinden

Kirchner:
Exil

Messiaen:
Quatour pour la Fin du Temps

After a first recording with works that were specifically arranged for the ensemble’s unusual combination of instruments - clarinet, violin, cello and piano - the Zurich Ensemble chose to record a programme featuring composers of three different generations, with each work touching upon a different aspect of existence. Each of the selected works has its roots in lived experience while at the same time offering universal, timeless truths. Fabian Müller’s Am Anfang (In the Beginning) is a musical rendering of creation myths and of ›› attempts at inventing the world ‹‹ by author Tim Krohn. Exil by Volker David Kirchner deals with questions of individual isolation as well as internal and external emigration. Although written in dire circumstances, the Zurich Ensemble conceives of Messiaen’s Quatuor pour la fin du Temps as an uplifting work, leading into the light of salvation and hope.
