Each of these three pieces for orchestra pays tribute to a country and culture particularly dear to me. The Germany that is full of the drama and joy in Flammenschrift finds a response with the light of Italy in E Chiaro nella valle il fiume appare, before the colourfully festive Russia in Maslenitsa.

German cellist, Jan Vogler presents his 2nd recording of Schumann's Cello Concerto (1st recording on Edel, 2001) but this time with his own orchestra, the Dresden Festival Orchestra, (alongside Ivor Bolton), that consists of more than 50 members from Europe's most renowned early music ensembles. Exploring Schumann's 'original sound', Jan Vogler plays on gut strings and the orchestra on period instruments. In addition to the cello concerto, the orchestra is playing Schumann's 2nd symphony.

Memory Lane is the second Album by the Berlin-based composer, producer and pianist Benjamin judge. He is shown as of the Piano Poet of the day: cover versions of current chart hits such as I see Fire , Faded, or Don t Let Me Down, he connects with his own compositions that remind you of dreamy film soundtracks of Yann Tiersen and Hans Zimmer. With Memory Lane, he has created a sonic journey full of well-known melodies, inviting you to Dream and to Think. Memories of happy evenings with friends, lonely sunsets, or the first Date to pull over when you listen to Richter's Arrangements, in which he connects the melodies on the piano with the sound of electronics and strings.
