Welt voll Irrsinn (World Full of Madness) (1993)
for large ensemble

The Dadaistic poetry of Kurt Schwitters was read by the composer through the prism of the stormy reality in Russia at the beginning of the '90. (coups, political demonstrations, tanks in the streets of Moscow etc.) Tarnopolski finds direct parallel with the absurd poetry that is shouted by the members of the orchestra and with the situation of today. "And considering the form and purely the structure I was interested in finding a balance between coincidence and determination, as in our society we were balancing between chaos and dictatorship. In the writings of Schwitters I tried to discover those moments. For example I heard in "Banalitäten aus dem Chinesischen (а la Mao-Ze-Dung)" the hysteria of the Maoistic meetings and the demagogic tune of some new Russian politicians."

de ereprijs ensemble has dedicated itself to the performance of contemporary music, with the occasional performance of exceptional twentieth-century works. Aside from the traditional concert programmes, special projects are often arranged in which various disciplines combine. To date that has resulted in programmes, which combine music with dance, visual art, film, theatre and architecture. Since 1989 there have been strong contacts with foreign composers, a development, which has resulted in the writing of a number of new works, specially for "de ereprijs" — as is the case with most of the repertoire. Due to the nature of the works and the formation of the orchestra — for example, solo pieces and the presence of percussion and electrically amplified instruments — both the stage presentation and the sound can be changed, from that of a "classic" chamber orchestra to the sound of a pop group or an electronic studio. As a result the group is able to offer composers, and ultimately the public, a great variety in potential sound.

The CD was recorded in presence of Vladimir Tarnopolski on the 19th, 20th and 21st October 1994 at the Dutch Reformed Church at Voorst.
