SOLO – Limited publication of the new recording project of Klangforum Wien
“Just as the Klangforum Wien has done for 35 years, we fearlessly faced the new and, as a soloist ensemble, came across our own roots: one instrument, one work, one performer,” says Peter Paul Kainrath, director of the Klangforum Wien.
The latest recording project of the Klangforum Wien: A special edition in the form of a five-part CD box that deals with the work of the most advanced and established positions in new music.

The box set symbolizes and forces listeners to examine the loneliness that we all feel in this strange and tragic time. What is it like to long for something? What is it like to desire to be together again?
The result is monographic portraits of five composers who, like few others, have shaped the NEW in music over the past decades to this day and are connected to the Klangforum Wien.
Inspiration and the generous donation of a patron enabled us to put on a five-part CD box with 37 SOLO works by 5 composers for 17 different instruments – including five new compositions, conceived and written in monadic lockdown.
From their point of view, four outstanding intellectuals contributed to a consideration of the term SOLO and, in part, interlaced it with the music to be played by the respective composer.
