In the ongoing series of recordings released by composer Christian Ridil on the GENUIN label, his collaboration with the Vokalconsort of the Berlin Girls’ Choir and the Südwestpfälzer Children’s Choir marks another milestone. This time, his varied selection includes works for women’s and children’s choir as well as solo songs, all recorded here for the first time. The outstanding quality of the ensembles and soloists brings out the sonic richness of Ridil’s music in an impressive way: the spectrum ranges from folk-inspired song to advanced contemporary musical language – a journey of discovery that is truly worthwhile!

GENUIN presents its fourth album featuring works by the extraordinary composer Christian Ridil: Music for Orchestra. Recorded to celebrate his 80th birthday in 2023, the Leipzig Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of chief conductor Robbert van Steijn, delivers the world premiere recordings of Ridil's orchestral works. The FAZ has praised Ridil's music as "rhythmically refined, technically and formally perfect." These qualities are vividly present in the Flute Concerto Les jardins de Pan, Symphony No. 1, and the Bassoon Concerto Brahms en France — contemporary compositions that leave you wanting more.
