Florian Fricke (1944 – 2001) was a German music pioneer who started his career in electronic music using the Moog synthesizer within the famous Krautrock group ‘Popol Vuh’. Fricke studied piano, composition and directing at the conservatories in Freiburg and Munich where he also dedicated himself to new kinds of music like ‘free jazz’. In 1967 he met German film director Werner Herzog and the two formed a life long friendship (Fricke was later responsible for the soundtracks of several of Herzog’s movies).

Fricke plays a beautiful selection of his favourite Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Allegros & Adagios on Spielt Mozart ("plays Mozart"). A very personal work from Florian, this album was released as a tribute for the 200th anniversary of Mozart’s death. Trying to achieve a deep inner-peace, you can sense Fricke lose himself completely in the vibrations and wonderful melodies. The result here is a honest interpretation without pretense or hidden motives, a tribute from one composer to another, almost like a dialogue between the two.
