Strong Relationship

In a new interview series, Stephan Eicke focuses on the relationship between directors and their composers. Prominent filmmakers talk about the creative alliance, the respective composers share their views on the collaboration. The series starts with the German director Werner Herzog, who has been working with the cellist and film composer Ernst Reijseger for over 15 years. Reijseger conducts the workshop “Film Music – is less more?” and a cello solo concert at MSH 2022.
