"I heard the Ensemble phil Blech Wien for the first time at the opening of the MuTh in 2012. Since its founding, it has become an indispensable part of the Viennese culture of music-making and it is impossible to imagine international concert life without it With the works it has recorded for the present album, the formation of brass and percussionists would like to consciously carry on the tradition of the Viennese sound and convey it to a large circle of listeners The uniqueness of the Viennese sound, to which the ensemble is committed, is based first of all on the special characteristics of the individual instruments, which have undergone a remarkable development in the history of Viennese instrument making. In addition, a special art of articulation emerged, which is characterized by great singability and musical flexibility The Viennese musical tradition lives from the encounter with the Viennese dialect as a conglomerate of different languages and cultural traditions.

Thus, the articulation and shaping of musical phrases are characterized by a unique warmth and sensuality
