Sensory 2025

A Brazilian singer in New York. A meeting place where worlds collide: the supple rhythms of Brazilian jazz, the elaborate textures of baroque opera, and a voice that carries both with conviction. Pursuit of a Pulse is not just another album, it is an immersion into a world both intricate and alluring, a revelation of an artist who, in my view, belongs among the defining voices of 21st-century jazz.

This extraordinary album by the artist Agata Maria Raatz combines the best of two musical worlds: Interpretation and composition. The artist is not only a soloist, but also the creator of a new musical work - Reflexe 1766. The album forms a sound bridge between Mozart's time and our present, a musical reflection on past and present experiences. Inspired by a real journey through Switzerland in the summer of 2024 in the historical footsteps of the Mozart family, this album creates a multi-sensory sound journey.

Studies in Counterpoint, Tonal Organisation & Piano Playing was composed in the summer and autumn of 1942, at a time when the composer had already been living in exile in the United States for two years. His life had changed drastically since 1933 due to the political situation in Germany, ultimately forcing him to emigrate. Whereas he had been one of the most important representatives of the young generation of composers in Germany in the 1920s, his works were now defamed as ‘cultural Bolshevism’ and no longer performed; he received no more concert engagements in Germany.
