Cafe Budapest // Ernst Reijseger – Werner Herzog: Cave of Forgotten Dreams – film concert

In 2010 Werner Herzog shot a 3D documentary in the Chauvet-Pont-d’Arc Cave in Southern France, whose walls bear what are held to be the oldest cave paintings in the history of humanity. The winner of prestigious international film awards, Cave of Forgotten Dreams has a compelling soundtrack, music with a special atmosphere, the work of Ernst Reijseger. The piece has since also been performed in churches, for example at the Ravenna Festival.
Says Herzog: “The music in this film is extremely important and adds a very strange beautiful different dimension to it. Ernst Reijseger is a great and genius avant-garde cello player and composer.”
