Stefan Schulzki is known for his especially creative implementation of live electronics. While this can be heard on Chamber Music, the program offers a much more comprehensive overview of Schulzki's work. The recording features chamber works with various instrumentations, from a simple piano song (a new setting of Goethe's "Erlkönig") to a piano concerto with chamber ensemble and electronics written in 2018, from the bitterly ironic Politisches Lied 2011 to the lyrically expressive theater music Die Zeit und das Zimmer (Botho Strauss). All of the recordings were studio productions except for the piano concerto, which is a live recording of the première.
