Classic-adaptations are a characteristic feature of Stefan Winter's productions. The transformations of masterpieces open up new aspects. Uri Caine, Kneebody, Reinbert de Leeuw, Barbara Sukowa, Fumio Yasuda and Stefan Zeniuk stand for competence, creativity and musical innovation. Their arrangements have one common intention: to reread the historical musical text from a todays perspective, be it by transferring it to new – formerly completely unknown – instruments or by filtering out existing elements, which are hidden. Adaptations belong to the craft of composers and musicians since the early days of music. To experience old masterpieces by contemporary artists under a new guise has until today nothing lost of its attraction.
