CD RELEASE - Silence is Golden

With their new album SILENCE IS GOLDEN (HÄNSSLER CLASSIC), Sarah Maria Sun (soprano), Kilian Herold (clarinet) and Jan Philip Schulze (piano) dedicate themselves to works by Schubert, Britten, Bernstein, Ligeti, Aperghis and others. The spectrum ranges from song and cabaret to opera, Broadway and contemporary music. These include first recordings such as Ligeti's ‘Mysteries of the Macabre’ in a trio version and Aperghis' “Le rire physiologique”.

SILENCE IS GOLDEN is a dramedy album, an interplay of seriousness and humour. ‘We have brought together very different types of humour: from cynical to bittersweet to intoxicating and many states beyond,’ says Sarah Maria Sun, describing the concept. The trio combines classical music with jazz and pop in a joyful and uninhibited way, crossing stylistic boundaries. The 70-minute recording explores the state of ‘inconsolable serenity’ with music, text and theatrical elements.
