Continuum - Symphony at Night. Works by Marco Schädler, Matthias Frommelt, Jürg Hanselmann
The principality of Liechtenstein is not automatically associated with new music, although a lively scene exists there. For this reason the dedicated “Continuum – Förderverein für Komponisten” (Society for the furtherance of composers) has commissioned works from young Liechtenstein composers whose successful results are recorded here for the first time. The production “Continuum. Symphony at Night” presents interesting insight into the new music scene of this little principality.

Jürg Hanselmann
Jürg Hanselmann’s involvement with music stretches back to his childhood. He received his soloist’s diploma at the Bern Music Conservatory in 1980 with distinction. Further studies on the piano took him to Louis Kentner in London and Irina Edelstein in Frankfurt. He also attended chamber music master classes with the Beaux Arts Trio and piano master classes with Mieczieslaw Horszowski. In 1983 Hanselmann studied composition and analysis with Sándor Veress, who had been a composition pupil of Kodály and a piano student of Bartók. Both had studied with Hans (Janos) Koessler, the Liechtenstein student of Rheinberger, forming a nice biographical link for Hanselmann with the best-known Liechtenstein composer Josef Rheinberger. The list of Jürg Hanselmann’s own compositions to date includes piano, orchestral, choral and chamber music and lieder. As a pianist, he is winner of the Eduard Tschumi Prize Bern 1980, the prize of the Anniversary Foundation of the Swiss Volksbank 1980, the Migros Competition Zurich 1983, Rotary Prize of Liechtenstein 1987, the Cultural Prize of the International Lake Constance Conference 1991 Munich and the Josef Gabriel Rheinberger Prize Vaduz 2005. Concert appearances have taken him throughout Europe and to the USA. With his wife Sandra he also performs as a piano duo. His numerous CD productions include the present internationally-acclaimed complete recording of the piano works of Josef Rheinberger on eleven CDs, and the CD Die Eisenbahn in der Klaviermusik.
