This 2-album set presents the Mitteldeutsche Kammerphilharmonie, led by Jan Michael Horstmann, performing works by previously ostracized composers. The Lichterfeld Foundation of Petra and Ralph-Robert Lichterfeld is committed to ensuring that works by composers who were ostracized find their place in current concert programming. Their project "EchoSpore" lists registers of these composers, yet today many people are unaware of them. To ensure that the rediscovery of these hidden musical gems is not left to a single concert experience, the Mitteldeutsche Kammerphilharmonie has added works by previously "ostracized" composers to each of it's "Festliche cammerphilharmonische Concerte" (Festive Chamber Philharmonic Concerts).
