Over a period of five years, Swiss directors Norbert Wiedmer and Peter Guyer documented the activity of legendary producer Manfred Eicher, the founder and driving force behind ECM Records, whose advocacy of progressive jazz and of classical composers like Arvo Pärt, Meredith Monk, Valentin Silvestrov, and György Kurtág changed the landscape of contemporary music in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The film Sounds and Silence: Travels with Manfred Eicher was released in 2009 and this 2011 soundtrack album is made up largely of tracks taken from previously released ECM albums that Eicher produced, some from as early as 1980. Most of the pieces are low-key and understated and feature chamber ensembles, although there are several piano tracks and several featuring orchestra or chorus. The album has a mix of selections from ECM's classical and jazz repertoire, and from the label's specialty, the many pieces that lie somewhere in between the two. The artists include pianist Keith Jarrett, saxophonists Jan Garbarek and Gianluigi Trovesi, violist Kim Kashkashian, the duo of bandoneon player Dino Saluzzi and cellist Anja Lechner, and the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir led by Tonu Kaljuste. The album offers a good sampling of ECM's offerings (although it steers clear of the more avant-garde music) and should whet listeners' appetites for seeking out the releases from which these tracks were taken.

Durante un período de cinco años, los directores suizos Norbert Wiedmer y Peter Guyer documentaron la actividad del legendario productor Manfred Eicher, fundador e impulsor de ECM Records, cuya defensa del jazz progresivo y de compositores clásicos como Arvo Pärt, Meredith Monk, Valentin Silvestrov y György Kurtág cambió el panorama de la música contemporánea a fines del siglo XX y principios del XXI. La película Sounds and Silence: Travels with Manfred Eicher se lanzó en 2009 y este álbum de la banda sonora de 2011 se compone en gran parte de pistas tomadas de álbumes ECM lanzados anteriormente que produjo Eicher, algunos de 1980. La mayoría de las piezas son discretas y discretas y presentan conjuntos de cámara, aunque hay varias pistas de piano y varias con orquesta o coro. El álbum tiene una mezcla de selecciones del repertorio clásico y de jazz de ECM, y de la especialidad del sello, las muchas piezas que se encuentran en algún punto intermedio entre los dos. Los artistas incluyen al pianista Keith Jarrett, los saxofonistas Jan Garbarek y Gianluigi Trovesi, el violista Kim Kashkashian, el dúo de bandoneonistas Dino Saluzzi y la violonchelista Anja Lechner, y el Coro de Cámara Filarmónico de Estonia dirigido por Tonu Kaljuste. El álbum ofrece una buena muestra de las ofertas de ECM (aunque se mantiene alejado de la música más vanguardista) y debería despertar el apetito de los oyentes por buscar los lanzamientos de los que se tomaron estas pistas.
