The status Philipp Maintz has earned among composers of the younger generation is notable not least through the way the conductor Christoph Eschenbach advocates his music. In this edition, Eschenbach conducts two top orchestras: Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin and the Munich Philharmonic, in live recordings of premiere performances.

The 26-minute "tríptico vertical" for soprano and large orchestra was already recorded in Munich in 2014 -- with the excellent American soprano Marisol Montalvo (the work is dedicated to her and Eschenbach). The premiere of "hängende gärten (hanging gardens)" for large orchestra followed in Berlin in the summer of 2017. The title refers to one of the Seven Wonders of the World: the legendary Hanging Gardens of Babylon of Assyrian Queen Semiramis. "hängende gärten" for large orchestra, is performed here by: Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin; Christoph Eschenbach - conductor. "tríptico vertical", music for soprano and large orchestra on poems by Roberto Juarroz is performed here by: Marisol Montalvo - soprano; Münchner Philharmoniker; Christoph Eschenbach - conductor.
