Michael Ende, renowned for his imaginative storytelling, ventures into the realm of music with "Der Spiegel im Spiegel," a haunting requiem released on December 22, 2003, under the NCA label. This 49-minute album is a profound exploration of sound and silence, featuring tracks that evoke vivid imagery and introspection. The album's title, translating to "The Mirror in the Mirror," sets the stage for a deeply reflective journey through seven evocative pieces. Each track, with its poetic title, invites listeners to delve into a world where music and narrative intertwine. From the ethereal "Über die weite graue Fläche des Himmels glitt ein Schlittschuhläufer dahin" to the somber "Schweres schwarzes Tuch," Ende crafts a soundscape that is as thought-provoking as it is melodically rich. "Der Spiegel im Spiegel" is a testament to Michael Ende's unique ability to blend the literary with the musical, offering an experience that lingers long after the final note fades.
