Martin Christoph Redel

Zwischen Wunde und Schmerz

40 years lie between the composer's multiple award-winning String Quartet No. 2 and this new contribution to the genre. Martin Christoph Redel was motivated by the world's current political situation: by the violation of human rights, by war, torture, violence and expulsion. He includes a soprano part and responds to texts of the Tunisia-born poetess Najet Adouani who had to flee her home country several times herself because she had advocated human rights and freedom of speech there. In my throat nests the pain of all those to whom I lend a voice, is one of her statements that was set to music.
