SPIEGELUNGEN brings together Bach’s Musical Offering, Viktor Kalabis’ Canonic Inventions, and Isang Yun’s Royal Theme in a striking dialogue across time and culture. Three composers and three worlds of thought meet in a conversation that moves between baroque clarity, modernist invention, and the meditative poetics of East Asian sound.

The recording of Viktor Kalabis’s Six Canonic Inventions by Stanislav Gres marks the world premiere of these pieces performed on a historically built harpsichord.
Isang Yun’s Royal Theme is heard here for the first time in its original version, recorded by violinist Maren Ries, who revised the score according to Yun’s manuscript.

NeoBarock creates a vibrant sound world where intellectual rigour meets poetic resonance. By placing them in dialogue, NeoBarock invites listeners to hear timeless ideas mirrored and transformed, a resonance between past and present that illuminates both.
