Viviane Hagner, Essener Philharmoniker, Christian Jost - 21st Century Portraits: Christian Jost (2012)

"I am always searching for the magical moment, which I can only achieve by complex and differentiated interconnections between structure, form and sound." (Christian Jost)

The next disc in Capriccio’s 21st century portraits series features the much sought after German composer Christian Jost. Here his Violin Concerto ‘TiefenRausch’ (Rapture of the Deep) is performed by Viviane Hagner alongside the CocoonSymphony. Both pieces showcase Jost’s musical manifesto – all compositions develop around a nucleus, but musical developments are sound-driven.
