Christian Jost is one of the most prominent composers of Germany. In his huge symphonic work "Berlinsymphony" he translates the multilayered sound of his native Berlin into a vibrant and energetic orchestra score. By contrast Lover-Skysong deals with the smallest of all social groupings: A pair of lovers. The music is inspiried by a Chinese poem.
