ErnstLudwig Petrowsky, Conny Bauer - Wanderung Durch Den Thüringer Wald

Review by Michael Kull

The album Wanderung Durch Den Thüringer Wald by ErnstLudwig Petrowsky and Conny Bauer is a stunning exploration of sound and texture. The duo's mastery of their respective instruments - saxophone and trombone - is immediately evident in the opening track, "Wanderung Durch Den Thüringer Wald," where they create a haunting and evocative soundscape that transports the listener to the heart of the forest.

Throughout the album, Petrowsky and Bauer showcase their improvisational skills, weaving intricate melodies and rhythms that ebb and flow like the forest itself. The tracks "Morgendliche Nebel" and "Tanz Der Tiere" are particularly impressive, with the duo's interplay creating a sense of playful energy and movement.

What sets this album apart, however, is the way in which Petrowsky and Bauer incorporate elements of traditional German folk music into their compositions. Tracks like "Auf Dem Höhenzug" and "Der Wald Ist Mein Leben" are infused with a sense of nostalgia and reverence for the natural world, making the album feel like a celebration of both music and nature.
