The CD Urknall (Big Bang) of the Tyrolean Chamber Orchestra InnStrumenti (Conductor: Gerhard Sammer) presents a very special composition and concert project created for the twenty-year anniversary of the ensemble: 20 componists were invited to write new orchestral works with a specific thematic connection to one of the years 1997 to 2017. Each composer chose one of the years and a topic of supra-regional relevance. She or he passed the last bar of her or his composition, resulting in a cohesive work of 20 pieces. The 20 pieces are framed by Urknall and Finale; these two pieces were created as a collective composition of 18 composers.
The contributing composers: Katharina Blassnigg, Florian Bramböck, Marco Döttlinger, Kurt Estermann, Arturo Fuentes, Michael FP Huber, Helmut Jasbar, Manuela Kerer, Hannes Kerschbaumer, Martin Ohrwalder, Helga Plankensteiner, Ivana Radovanovic, Manuel de Roo, Gunter Schneider, Ralph Schutti, Hannes Sprenger, Hubert Stuppner, Klaus Telfser, Christian Wegscheider, Klex Wolf
