Ahi Vita - Michael Riessler & Singer Pur
Lamenti . . .
an exciting web of compositions by Monteverdi, Gesualdo, Phinot and Striggio around and at times into which the jazz and avant-garde clarinettist Michael Riessler placed own compositions inspired by the originals, as well as improvisations and collages, together with the French improvisation specialist Vincent Courtois on the cello.
In its sound language and experimental joy something quite unheard of.
"...Ahi Vita is recommended as a listening adventure that resists simple solutions and precisely for that reason exerts a particular fascination." (Der Musikmarkt — 03-2004)
