(The world premiere was indeed in Amphithteater Carthage / Tunisia before 6,000 listeners). Like most of his pieces is also Souvenance an attempt at humanistic synthesis of East and West, both musically and spiritually, being here but the influence of the Arab Spring, the Arab Spring in Tunisia is particularly processed, the sound, at least on the first CD also aware something 'inharmonious' and 'seeking' makes. The role played by Anouar Oud is the soul of the composition, in their individuality, it ensures the depth and breadth of this entschleunigend acting art. Piano (Couturier), clarinet (Gesing), Bass (Meyer) and Strings - all grandios- put the quite distinct contrasts, partly discordant and partly in dissonance or Ambivalenz.Die Oud soul remains ultimately melancholic unredeemed and highly particular CD 2. , ECM: Best Sound next to silence!
