The time has come: The Camerata Musica Limburg is releasing its latest album with GENUIN featuring works by Franz Schubert for male choir. Since 2015, enchanted by their warm, round and flawlessly refined sound, we have listened enthusiastically to this vocal ensemble with every release. The sixth and final production now extends beyond Schubert: it unites arrangements and pieces inspired by him. They range from the romantic, sonorous arrangements of Silcher and Brahms to world premiere recordings by Marten Jansson and Christopher Tarnow. The male vocal ensemble Camerata Musica Limburg was founded in 1999 and has since been under the direction of Jan Schumacher. For the members of the choir, the founding is a further development of their common musical roots, which are in the choir of the Limburg Domsingknaben.

The phrase "loneliness is a kind of freedom" comes from the Italian writer Umberto Eco. A statement that also fits to the album SOL by Pascal Schumacher. This is a live version of the album "SOL (The MUDAM Session)".

Pascal Schumacher’s new album LUNA stands in diametric opposition to his previous release, SOL. And it’s not just the play on the albums’ titles, which already point to the differing moods of lightness and darkness, both releases also stem from opposing creative standpoints.

An accomplished versatile virtuoso baritone saxophone player, Chicago native Dave Schumacher has been a mainstay on the New York jazz scene for more than forty years. His big, bold baritone first came to international attention during the eighties, spending much of those years touring the world with Lionel Hampton’s Orchestra. Schumacher garnered further notice following that with nearly two decades as a member of the orchestra of Harry Connick, Jr. In the 90's he also toured with T.S. Monk’s Monk on Monk band and the Tom Harrell Octet, as well as freelance work with many others in New York and on the road.

Pascal Schumacher, the respected, multi-award-winning composer, jazz vibraphonist and bandleader had his fill of contemporary jazz. He was looking for something new, something unexpected, unknown. He performed with Francesco Tristano and Bachar Mar-Khalife (on the album Afrodiziak) and featured on Munichbased composer Arash Safaian's album "UberBach". Having become increasingly interested in electronic music, he disbanded his quartet.

Is it a love story? Undoubtedly. Is it a play about the strange relationship between people and their computers? Likewise (after all, among other things, quite a few annoying spam emails are given musical honors in it). Is it experimental literature? Indeed, at least in part, because one of the actors from the Oulipo circle of authors around Raymond Queneau and Georges Perec is involved in it. Is it film music for an abstract film with letters instead of actors?
