The compositions gathered on Winternachtmusik feature piano and violoncello as solo instruments as well as in combination; they all were written during the last 25 years. They are all related and can be performed next to each other or, in some cases, even simultaneously. All these pieces are character pieces, they develop an individual, very precise atmosphere, and all of them describe a development: sometimes linearly, sometimes with interruptions; at times, with vehemence and like an explosion, at other times, tentatively and barely noticeable. The duo composition "Stücke über den Tod" (Pieces about Death) dates from a period where Martin Herchenröder's music openly commented on political and social issues. Personnel: Friedrich Gauwerky - violoncello; Severin von Eckardstein - piano.

Martin Herchenröder, composer, organist, and musicologist, is a professor at the University of Siegen. His compositions have been performed in Europe, Asia, and America by renowned artists. Besides concert tours as an organist his teaching activities brought him to almost all continents.
