About

The premiere performance of a very personal piece, based on the last letters written by the composer Ralf Yusuf Gawlick's uncle, performed by pianists Chi-Chen Wu and Moritz Ernst and bass baritone Georg Gadker. Herzliche Gre Bruno (Best Regards Bruno) Briefe aus Stalingrad (Letters from Stalingrad) is an electro-acoustic work conceived from the last letters written by composer Ralf Yusuf Gawlick's (b.1969, Germany) young uncle before being listed as missing in action in Stalingrad in late December 1942. Although there will forever be tragically unanswered questions as to Bruno's exact fate, there is much we do know from the time before he was sent to Stalingrad in August 1942. The works provide a personal and empathetic insight into the young man's last weeks. A native of Taiwan, Chi-Chen Wu came to the United States for graduate study, earned masters and doctorate degree from New England Conservatory. Alongside her performing career she is a frequent presenter of papers and lectures at scholars' conferences. Dr. Wu is Associate Professor of Piano at the University of Wyoming. Moritz Ernst performs worldwide as a pianist, harpsichordist and chamber musician, focussed mainly on early and contemporary music. He has released many CDs so far, some of them on Perfect Noise. Georg Gdker is a much sought-after soloist. After having received his masters degree at the Guildhall School of music in London, he began performing worldwide, collaborating with famous musicians such as Masaaki Suzuki, Hans-Christoph Rademann, Reinhard Goebel, Helmut Rilling and others.

This is no ordinary piece. Gawlick uses the death of his uncle, Bruno Gawlick, during the World War II siege of Stalingrad as the spark to compose a horrifically dramatic and effective work that brings home with extraordinary impact the suffering which human beings are capable of inflicting on each other. The performances are excellent...The pianists are very sensitive to the mood of the piece.
