In this fifth GENUIN release devoted to his music, composer Christian Ridil adds another milestone to his extensive discography. In collaboration with the Vocal Consort of the Berliner Mädchenchor and the Südwestpfälzer Kinderchor, Ridil presents a richly varied program spanning six decades of his creative work.
