Displacement, escape, disaster and death or a source of new inspiration and strength – these are the two poles between which the state of exile is ascribed. Even in ancient times, exile was used as a method of punishment. Leaving one’s homeland, arriving in the unknown and finding a new place – a fate that also befell Ovid, for example, when he had to leave Rome and move to the city of Tomis on the Black Sea. For artists in particular, exile brings difficulties in several respects: it is not only their home in life that they lose, they also have to leave behind their creative home, the cultural space in which they were shaped and grew up, the spoken language, the musical, the artistic and the aesthetic. And not least the audience that has understood and accepted them.

The supreme work of the most extraordinary man: this is what the composer Johann Adam Hiller called Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s “Requiem”, which is now being released by Genuin in an unusual arrangement. The piano duo Kerstin Straßburg and Jürgen Appell have recorded for the first time the astonishing four-hand piano version of the Mozart Requiem by Carl Czerny, a pupil of Beethoven and teacher of Liszt. The choral parts, vocal solos, and all the orchestral parts have been incorporated into the piano part, allowing the polyphonic beauty of Mozart’s work to emerge in a kind of concentration with unimaginable clarity. The world premiere recording of this version on CD also contains the moving Amen fugue to the “Lacrymosa”, which the New York pianist Robert D. Levin reconstructed from fourteen bars of Mozart’s handwriting discovered several years ago.
