Burggrabe / Farah / Ward - Human [CD]

How does cultural diversity sound in the 21st century? The German composer Helge Burggrabe asked himself this question and with HUMAN he gave his personal musical answer. Together with the Deutsches Kammerorchester Berlin, the British conductor Duncan Ward, Elbtonal Percussion and the Canadian pianist John Kameel Farah, the orchestral composition HUMAN was recorded in summer 2020. The work focuses on social themes and areas of tension such as life & death, home & foreign countries and love & loss, inspired by the idea of "human rights" and the commitment to more freedom, justice and peace in the world.
