Immerse yourself in the captivating world of Swiss composer Carl Rütti with this exquisite choral album, released on November 15, 2013, under the Guild GmbH label. Spanning a duration of 1 hour and 13 minutes, this collection is a testament to Rütti's mastery of composition, featuring a blend of intricate piano solos and enchanting choral arrangements.
The album is a journey through four distinct yet interconnected works, each offering a unique sonic experience. "In the Belfry of Your Silence" is a seven-movement choral piece that delves into themes of introspection and quietude, with each part seamlessly flowing into the next. "Under the Linden Tree" provides a moment of respite, a serene interlude that showcases Rütti's ability to evoke vivid imagery through music.
"The Four Elements" is a piano solo suite that pays homage to the natural world, with each movement dedicated to a different element—wind, water, earth, and fire. This suite is a display of Rütti's technical prowess and his deep connection to the natural world.
The final work, "The Dance of Obedience," is a nine-movement choral piece that explores themes of submission and surrender. The piece is a complex tapestry of sound, with each movement building upon the last to create a powerful and moving conclusion.
Throughout the album, Rütti's compositions are brought to life by the skilled performances of Praxedis & Praxedis, a duo known for their nuanced interpretations and technical virtuosity. This album is a celebration of Rütti's unique voice in the world of contemporary classical music, and a testament to his enduring influence.
