S t a r g a z e was founded in Berlin and Amsterdam as a musical collective devoted to crossing the borders of classical and modern music. They are helmed by Merle Scheske, Emanuel Florakis, and conductor Andr de Ridder. With S t a r g a z e’s members scattered across the globe, ‘One’ is the outcome of solutions to Covid-related travel restrictions, which prevented the age-old tradition of an orchestra recording together in the same room. Designed so that the individual musicians could be recorded separately, across whichever home or local studio they could access, this cloud-based approach to production can be commonplace in other genres, but is still new to the classical world.
