Immerse yourself in the profound and evocative sounds of the Dresdner Philharmonie with their 2009 release on ECM New Series. This album presents a compelling blend of two distinct works: Alfred Schnittke's Symphony No. 9 and Andrei Raskatov's "Trojan Women: Nunc dimittis – in memoriam Alfred Schnittke."

Schnittke's Symphony No. 9, divided into three movements—Andante, Moderato, and Presto—showcases the composer's signature style, blending neo-Romanticism with avant-garde elements. The symphony is a journey through contrasting moods and textures, from the somber and reflective to the energetic and dynamic.
Complementing Schnittke's work is Raskatov's "Trojan Women: Nunc dimittis," a poignant tribute to Schnittke. This piece adds a layer of emotional resonance to the album, highlighting the Dresdner Philharmonie's versatility and ability to convey deep emotional narratives through music.
Recorded with the meticulous production standards of ECM New Series, this album is a testament to the orchestra's artistry and the enduring power of these compositions.
