'Stray throughts and associations on an odd day in an odd café transformed and captures in sound'. Most people appreciate the experience of letting thoughts flow freely, and Klaus Schønning's 10th album from 1993 is an expression of exactly that state of being. 'Magic Café' is an album full of variety with beautiful arrangements of each single melody. The music is dynamic and rich in tonal colour, and Klaus Schønning moved with great versatility through ethnic, classical, rock, new age, and folk elements in his own unique style.

Everywhere, from ancient times, people have taken the flight patterns of birds across the sky as omens of significant events to come. From the Etrurians to the Vikings and from Greek mythology up to modern times we find these myths and legends describing man's fascination with the free flight of birds over the open sky. This enchanting world of the open sky. This enchanting world of freedom and lightness you will enter into while listening to the third album by Klaus Schønning. Coincidentally, the album was composed and recorded around the time when the swan was chosen as the national bird of Denmark, and the title of the album, 'Nasavu' is a new word coined by Klaus Schønning coming from an ancient Nordic word for 'swan', 'swana'.

Klaus Schønning's classical background has always been present in his works, but on 'Sacred Moments' it is the very essence. Old and new, known and unknown come together and unite in a beautiful, harmonious instrumental music. Only few have been brave enough to add synthesizer to the european church music tradition - Klaus Schønning is one of these few.

The grand odyssey starts out towards the south. The season is summer. We are nourished by the warmth of the sun, and regain our life-energy from the vitality of the ocean.
Klaus Schønning had for some time worked with longer musical compositions where the listener with gradual subtle change is invited into varying moods and feelings. Music with relaxing sounds, strong in visual character - including fantasy and inner world realities. This was the basis for the great Symphodysse series recorded between 1988 and 1992.
Four is a magical number. There are four seasons, four corners of the world etc. Klaus Schønning decided to have the work recorded on four CDs, each containing two movements of 20-25 minutes length. Late in 1986, klaus Schønning moved to Berlin where he lived the next four years, and there he laid the foundation for the Symphodysse series. Apart from composing and arranging the music, he also played the more than 20 instruments involved in the orchestration of the music. With the creation of this music, klaus Schønning presents himself as an original composer with his own style and sound, based on a unique combination of acoustic and electronic instruments. Some critics have implied that Symphodysse I - IV is a milestone in modern instrumental music.
