At the beginning of his career the Austrian artist Werner Pirchner (1940-2001) appeared mainly as a jazz musician, but he also studied classical composers and theorists of the avant-garde such as Schoenberg, Messiaen and Adorno from an early age. Later, he composed works for a diverse variety of instruments, his trademarks being a provocative style and humorous titles centering around the nature of man and his behaviour. With this CD the Eggner Trio, consisting of the brothers Georg, Florian and Christoph Eggner, releases the three piano trios of Werner Pirchner going by the titles: 'To whom does a human being belong?', 'Homeland' and 'Today…was yesterday tomorrow. Today…is tomorrow yesterday'.
