About
The album was recorded in Maloja, where Segantini spent the last years of his life.
"Becoming - Being - Passing" - this is the name of the tryptichon by the Tyrolean painter Giovanni Segantini, which served violinist and composer Paul Giger as an important source of inspiration for the music on ars moriendi.
The theme of transience runs through this programme like a thread and combines Bach compositions with original pieces and music influenced by traditional Swiss folk in equal parts.
Much of the programme was written in connection with the film about the painter, Giovanni Segantini - Magie des Lichts, and was recorded in the Chiesa Bianca, Maloja, in the Swiss canton of Graubünden.
On the album, Giger is joined by Marie-Louise Dähler on harpsichord, Pudi Lehmann on gongs and percussion, and countertenor Franz Vizthum as well as the Carmina Quartett to form a chamber ensemble.
