Guernica and Other Paintings

0 - Default Title
Description
Labor Records release Guernica and Other Paintings: Picasso, Munch, Bosch, Chagall explores German composer Walter Steffens' labyrinthine worlds of sound and image and his extraordinary project that stretches and deepens a tradition that began with musical paraphrases of pictures. Steffens' interest in 'transposing' visual impressions into music arises from his life-long occupation as a composer for theatre, operas, and ballets. His compositions are not simply 'paraphrases of pictures,' rather Steffens draws upon his extensive musical vocabulary and his uncommonly strong emotional response to art to produce a musical statement on this recording ranging from the orchestral grandeur inspired by Picasso's 'Guernica' to the large scale symphony for organ after Mark Chagall.
