This records presents four major works by young austrian composer Reinhard Fuchs. Set in an aesthetic world influenced by Guiseppe Ungaretti, David Lynch and Jackson Pollock and by the structural idea of a palimpsest, each work has it's own character but is related to the other pieces on the record. Klangforum Wien's outstanding performance in the opener Mania (inspired by Lynch's Blue Velvet) gives that piece a haunting intensity.
