This extraordinary CD sheds light on a phase in German cultural history never before documented with such encyclopedic depth. Here the pianist Steffen Schleiermacher, the recipeint of various ECHO Classics prizes for his interpretations of twentieth century music, presents music by elected composers from the Bauhaus movement.

This journey back to the 1920s is a gripping experience not only because of its compositional rarities but also because of Steffen Schleiermacher’s magic touch. This pianist, director of the Ensemble Avantgarde, and important advocate of contemporary music made the critics almost speechless with astonishment with his lauded John Cage series.
