In "Nachklang - Rose (Echo - Rose)", two (music) cultures stand side by side on an equal footing: that of Europe and of Persia. The starting point is the effect left behind by the scent of a rose. While it is associated with love in Western culture, in Islam it has strong religious, metaphysical and symbolic connotations. Rupert Huber himself describes his composition for mixed choir and Persian instrumental ensemble as a "patchwork" in the best sense of the word, where flecks of different colors stand side by side without one dominating. The present CD also includes two older works by Huber: "Wermut (Wormwood)" for choir and trombone to a text from the Book of Revelation, and "Der kranke Mann (The Sick Man)" based on a theme by Robert Schumann. Chor des Bayerischen Rundfunks - Dastan Ensemble: Mike Svoboda - trombone; Rupert Huber - conductor.

Rupert Huber was principal conductor of, among others, the WDR Choir and directed the SWR Vokalenemble Stuttgart as well as regularly conducting well-known choirs, orchestras and ensembles. His works are performed at festivals such as Ruhrtriennale, Salzburg Festival, Wien Modern, or Eclat Stuttgart, often in cooperation with ARD broadcasters.
