Aris Argiris - Matthus, S.: Manhattan Concerto / Ariadne / Nachliche Szene Im Park / Holofernes's Aria From Judith (2009)

Congratulating Siegfried Matthus on his 75th birthday means paying tribute to a composer whose earnestness and artistic ideals are prized by listening audiences. On this occasion of his birthday, GENUIN is releasing a disc with four of his most frequently performed works. “Beloved Dionysos” is a sensuous and colorful celebration of unbridled life and death. It includes two extended operatic scenes with outstanding baritone Aris Argiris as well as two orchestral pieces performed with aplomb by the Wuerttemberg Philharmonic Reutlingen under the direction of the composer himself and Ola Rudner. Not to be missed!
