The artistic journey of Alfons Karl Zwicker (born 1952) to compositions basically started when he was twelve years old. His twin talents as a painter and musician accommodated him perfectly, and led to early art exhibitions as well as to his sensibility for the relationship between music and painting. Zwicker felt the desire for the first time to write an opera himself when he was twenty and to create , through training as a pianist and composer, the decisive prerequisites for this. "My method of composing is based on the sphere, the continuous new search for an integral lucidity of expression." This is how the composer formulates his fundamental declarative intention. On this recording you can hear the chamber music from 2001 till 2007.
