ERNST REIJSEGER / CAVE OF FORGOTTEN DREAMS CONCERT - LIVE IN RAVENNA FESTIVAL

Composer and cellist Ernst Reijseger has written and recorded for Werner Herzog’s »Cave Of Forgotten Dreams« a new soundtrack. Herzog made a documentary which is a wonderful portrait of the cave art discovered at Chauvet-Pont-d’Arc in France. These paintings are achingly beautiful, and when Herzog’s camera glides along the cave walls, accompanied by the music of cellist Ernst Reijseger, it’s impossible not to be moved and awed. Reijseger creates enchanting music for choir, organ, piano, flute and cello. The human voices of the choir, Harmen Fraanje’s organ sounds, Sean Bergin’s flute and Ernst Reijseger’s cello arise to a complex sound painting. His music is a refreshment for the soul, far away from the noise and chaos of a big city. Reijseger has composed music of unearthly beauty for the thirty thousand years old cave paintings and created a new cathedral of sounds. All adaptions and arrangements of the music by Ernst Reijseger were especially made for the film. All title
