Islands of Peace

The Salzburg label Mozartiana Classics published its first »Sternenklang« in 2013 – a lovingly arranged mixture of music and poetry which was so warmly received that it was followed up over time by a whole series. Sternenklang is intended for anyone who longs to escape from the travails of everyday life into a creative and inspiring atmosphere of contemplation rather than the silence of a dead acoustic. In this peaceful tranquillity the Blessed Spirits dance, we drift »en bateau« on the wings of song across water on which a swan glides in circles – and return, inwardly strengthened as »after a dream«, into another and better reality.
