W hile film music must normally go
through a highly complex editing process and a number
of studio apparatuses, resulting in the fact that in
the end, the participating musicians only prepare the
initial material for the soundtrack, the interpretors
here are, so to speak, recapturing their music for
themselves: the Kurpfälzische Kammerorchester plays
famous pieces from recent films in arrangements
written by Matthias Keller especially for it. Special
tonal colors are provided in one part of the program
by the pan flute, played by Ulrich Herkenhoff. These
compositions, originally written for large symphony
orchestra, gain a musical life of their own through
the reduction for chamber orchestra, in which each
musician makes a major contribution to the whole,
thus giving the original soundtrack the directness and
intimacy that only a chamber ensemble can.
