Our book project 'Karl Richter in Munich / Muenchen' is right on plan and it will be out next week. This blog (even so in German language) gives a good preview on the artist you will meet again and hear about their encounter, stories and appreciation of Karl Richter and his work.
We still find it difficult to understand (and sad) that this will be the only book available on Karl Richter and his great era and influence in Munich, with the Munich Bach-Choir and the Munich Bach-Orchestra. But that is the reason Johannes Martin (publisher), the artists, chorister and contemporary witnesses taking this special effort to make it a worthily and informatively memory of Karl Richter and his time.

DVD: We hope to convince the Richter family, that they will allow us to use his music to make our planned video documentation (on DVD) in 2006 a worthy and moving testimonial of Karl Richter and its work.
