Kairos. A meditation on contemporary music.
A lot of new works in today’s Kairos. We start of with a LoFi recording of the string quartet of Dutch composer Anna Backerra. Also fairly new: a magnificent work of the album ‘De Temporum Fine Postludia’ of Roman Turovsky and a song by Larus Sigurdsson. The track ‘Koffer’ from the brand new album of Ian Fischer bearing the same name. Yes, a suitcase in Berlin! And Matthew Bourne, but sounding very different than what we are used to. And for the first time in Kairos: ‘Autumn Of Communion’.
Of course, Kairos cannot escape the very very last album of Leonard Cohen, because he has passed away. Didn’t this legend deserve a Nobel prize for Literature?
You will also hear some old friends of Kairos, like Broeder Dieleman, LVE, Luik and Claude Débussy.
