"Franz von Chossy, who also studied film scoring, is known for his lyrical, cinematic approach to music and adventurous mix of styles, often with emotional impact. This album is a highlight in that respect." (Tim Sprangers, Jazz assistant at "De Volkskrant") The new suite from the Franz von Chossy Quintet, When the World Comes Home, is a musical interpretation of the expulsion of Adam and Eve from paradise. The nine parts of the suite explore the story's full range of emotion. Graceful lyricism is contrasted with dark undertones as the music moves from simplicity, harmony and balance to complexity and dissonance. Von Chossy was inspired by a collaboration with the poet Abra Bertman, who gave titles to most of the compositions and wrote a poem for the title piece "When the World Comes Home". Franz von Chossy - Piano Jeffrey Bruinsma - Violin Alex Simu - Clarinet Jörg Brinkmann - Cello Yonga Sun - Drums When the World Comes Home She was a ribbed luscious pippin of a girl, new-pressed from dust to diamond. Some things get burnt. A black bear trundled and the path steamed with morning. The soft paws dug and we licked water from leaves. At night new lights fell to the ground like apple flowers. A branch was tight with speaking thread. Green sap from a clipped stem stained our mouths with sun. Behind us mirrored blades reflected cities made of smoke and flame. The ocean crusted with salt. We bore children who toiled and fought in the dark earth, built towers of departure. We listened to the fine dust settling and cradled our ribs in our hands.
