This album is one of three recordings Erich Bergel made in his lifetime.

The coupling of the two works appearing on this CD is justified by their compatibility: Metamorphoses is Richard Strauss's monumental lament, the most significant of late absolute music pieces, while Arthur Honegger's Symphony No.2 is one of the most ascetic pieces of his oeuvre, bearing the message of humanity overcoming barbarism.
