With his second chamber music CD on NEOS featuring world premiere recordings, Michael Quell has once again provided a large variety of forms and instrumentations. In addition to the Freiburg-based Ensemble Aventure, this recording features four top-class guitarists who play microtonal guitars developed by Tolgahan Cogulu. Other guests include soprano Christine Simolka and conductor Hermann Beyer.
The works’ titles betray the fact that Quell is intensely devoted not only to music, but to philosophy, theosophy, and the natural sciences.Michael Quell was born in Fulda, Germany in 1960. He teaches at the Institute of Musicology at the Goethe University Frankfurt and is a guest lecturer at various universities. His works are performed regularly in Europe, the USA, Canada, South America, and Asia.
