about

Heribert Leuchter’s KlangWeltReligion - (Sound of World Religion) was commissioned for the Expo 2000 world fair in Hannover. Performed with Kate Westbrook as soloist by the Aachen-based Lux Orchester, the piece was featured regularly throughout the six months of the Expo. Concerts took place in the innovative marble, glass and steel Christus Pavillon, a multi-faith space in the centre of the Expo site. Described as ‘a lyrical-musical collage for voice and jazz orchestra’, KlangWeltReligion includes settings of Ancient Egyptian, Hindu and Sufi texts and of the poetry of Rose Ausländer, Paul Celan, Matthias Claudius and Oscar Wilde. The concluding concerts, on October 26th and 27th October were recorded live. Released by Luxuries Records KlangWeltReligion is available on CD for the first time.

Unrecorded Beam
by Billie Bottle & The Multiple

Unrecorded Beam is beautifully conceived, performed and recorded. I am fortunate indeed to have connection with the album, in two improvisations responding to Billie and the Multiple on their flight. Kate Westbrook

There is something about about the way the strings and the winds talk to each other in this album that is attractive. The relaxed pace of many of the pieces also fits my taste. aswinmusiclistening
