David Philip Hefti’s “Des Zaubers Spuren” (February 2024)

The world premiere of “Des Zaubers Spuren” by David Philip Hefti performed by the Scharoun Ensemble, for which the work was composed, can now be listened to on the SRF concert podcast. “Des Zaubers Spuren” is a tribute to Franz Schubert, as Schubert’s music has left audible and “inaudible” traces in Hefti’s work, as the composer says.
