Zeitstrahl: Greece through the mirror of the ages

Conrad Steinmann
Aulos, Recorders, “Untertonflöte”, Fischiott, Kymbala

Music from the ancient Greece, the late antiq­ui­ty, Byzan­tium and today’s com­po­si­tions by Peter Streiff/Roland Moser and Con­rad Steinmann.

Where are begin­nings and, if we think we know, where do begin­nings lead, which were always already con­tin­u­a­tions of ear­li­er begin­nings? And are there end­ings? They always find a con­tin­u­a­tion, an ever-grow­ing chain with nei­ther begin­ning nor end.
