“When the World Comes Home” is a suite in nine parts as well as the title of the quintet’s first album. The complexity of the music becomes only gradually obvious. The lightest melodies are barely whispered and the warm, compact sound produces an abundance of images in the mind. The music is lyrical and intense and invites the listener to make associations.

It is clear from this suite that Franz von Chossy, born in 1979 in Munich and resident of Amsterdam since his graduation from university, not only studied piano at the Manhattan School of Music in New York but also took classes in the composition of film music.
The quintet’s concept album was developed in close collaboration with the Dutch poet Abra Bertman, who wrote a poem for the the title track and gave names to most parts of the suite.
