German Record Critic's Award - Award for WERGO CD

In association with Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik (German Record Critics’ Award), music critics and journalists from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland have come together to award outstanding music and spoken word productions.

The best and most interesting new releases released in the last three months are awarded a place on the Quarterly Critic’s Choice. Evaluation criteria include artistic quality, repertoire value, presentation, and sound quality.

The jury chose Ludger Brümmer's double album, "Spheres of Resonance", published by WERGO for the Best Recording 4/2022 in the Electronic and Experiemental category. 

Winning Title: "Spheres Of Resonance"

Ludger Brümmer in the List of Best Recordings 4/2022

Jury Statement: Images inevitably arise in front of the inner eye. The works of Ludger Brümmer lead to sound spaces of hypnotic quality. Brümmer, who created important innovations for sound generation at the Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe (ZKM), is one of the most important composers of electronic music. All tracks of this double CD were produced with up to 42 channels for playback via a surround sound environment. With »Spheres of Resonance«, Wergo offers a kaleidoscope of examples of Brümmer’s methods of granular syntheses, such as early music and physical modeling. Fascinatingly perfect and beautiful.
