Konrad Rennert Chamber Music
Renald Deppe The Freddy Quinn Choral Collection
Music by the Kagraner Pestbläser
One escapes into solitude not so much to avoid other people as to escape that which you become when you're among them.
One escapes from solitude not so much to approach other people as to escape that which you have not become while you were despairing all alone. Heimito von Doderer
Konrad Rennert keeps his distance from the noble sphere of activities of listeners of serious music. This does not mean, however, that he composes in solitude. In his life, familial realities playfully take the place of the formal/formative arts & crafts hullaballoo. Konrad Rennert does not wait around to see what would become of him when highly-trumpeted positioning in the cultural marketplace saps all of his truly creative energy...
Konrad Rennert needs time. A lot of time... to develop his sensitive "Frakturen" independently of all movements and trends. Some of this splendid chamber music is the topic of discussion tonight. All of Vienna can escape solitude this evening to join "the other people" at Porgy & Bess. What would become of them if they were to stay at home depairing all alone?... The Freddy Quinn Choral Collection will faithfully provide the horrifying answer. Nevertheless, despite all the emotional density and light-handed play with taboos, colorful sound texture and dramaturgical logic will dominate. Konrad Rennert! Welcome! RD
