In intensive collaboration with the Swedish ensemble Lipparella, which specializes in creating contemporary repertoire for baroque instruments and countertenor, these 10 timeless contemporary songs were created. Peter Söderberg, the founder of Lipparella tells:
“After having met by chance at the Ultraschall Festival in Berlin in 2019, Walter Zimmermann and I started discussing whether it would be possible to perform some of his music by Lipparella. After suggesting some already existing works, which could be adapted to a different setting—this is a common feature in Walter’s oeuvre—he eventually presented two original works for Lipparella that reflect the composer’s interest in Scandinavian poetry: Ett avlägset land, with lyrics by Gunnar Ekelöf, and Cirkel, with lyrics by Inger Christensen. The fact that the voices of both poets are present in the works, from recordings made in the 1960’s, also reflects Walter’s occupation with documentary recordings and poetry readings.
