Agata Raatz -Maria - Mozart & Modern [CD]

This extraordinary album by the artist Agata Maria Raatz combines the best of two musical worlds: Interpretation and composition. The artist is not only a soloist, but also the creator of a new musical work - Reflexe 1766. The album forms a sound bridge between Mozart's time and our present, a musical reflection on past and present experiences. Inspired by a real journey through Switzerland in the summer of 2024 in the historical footsteps of the Mozart family, this album creates a multi-sensory sound journey. The experiences of this route have been deeply incorporated into the composition. A special highlight: the soloist wrote her own cadenzas for both recorded violin concertos. They are artistic statements, personal reflections on Mozart's music.In terms of sound, the recording moves between past and present: historically informed playing meets modern instruments. This subtle balance of tradition, authenticity and innovation creates a touching sound language and an immersive listening experience.Mozart & Modern not only invites you to listen, but also to experience it. The violin becomes a narrator between the times, an echo of Mozart's operatic voice and the voice of a contemporary artist.This album is no ordinary classical music product. The Swiss Mozart Route is artistically anchored in the European cultural heritage, in which QR codes, places and history have just as much a place as water, light, movement and silence. Mozart & Modern is a concept album that needs to be experienced - Agata Maria Raatz takes us on this extraordinary musical journey.
