Style

Glanert counts Maurice Ravel, with its artificially - sensual soundscapes to his models. He knows like few other composers of his generation to combine the musical tradition with modernity and work out the melodic - gestural. Especially his stage works are therefore unusually successful in the tradition-bound audience.
