About

Two outstanding main works out of the composer’s extensive artistic creations.

…à l’âme de descendre de sa monture et aller sur ses pieds de soie…
For the new work the composer reworked both Die Seele muss vom Reittier steigen (The soul must dismount its horse, premiere Donaueschingen 2002) and …à l’âme de marcher sur ses pieds de soie… (The soul must march on its silken feet, 2004). This recording was made in the acoustically fabulous location of Radio Bremen, with Klaus Huber in attendance, resulting in an absolute reference recording.

Metanoia: The title of the piece relates to a key concept in the Christian tradition, as handed down in the New Testament: μετανοεϊτε, meaning “turn back!” or “repent!”, an invitation to radically realign one’s entire life. This is the background that governs the structure and timbral shape of Huber’s work. To quote the composer: “Metanoia does not result from reflection, but ‘falls upon us from above like a bolt of lightning”.
