ECM Records, also known as "The Creative Label," is a German independent label that was co-founded by producer Manfred Eicher, Manfred Scheffner, and Karl Egger in Munich (Pasing) in 1969. With the label code LC 2516 / LC 02516, ECM stands for Edition of Contemporary Music and focuses on jazz and Western classical music. They showcase both acoustic and electronic artists who produce eclectic versions of contemporary music.

ECM's extensive catalog features a wide range of genres, from contemporary works by renowned composers like Steve Reich, Arvo Pärt, and Philip Glass to experimental and electronic jazz from artists such as Nils Petter Molvær, Pat Metheny Group, and Jan Garbarek. Over the past 40+ years, ECM has released more than 1500 recordings that have been acclaimed for their exceptional music quality, creative production techniques, and outstanding sound.

Although an independent label, ECM titles are distributed by Universal Music Group (UMG) in the US, Japan, and throughout Europe. However, they have also collaborated with other distributors over the years. Notably during the period when Polydor distributed ECM products in Germany; [l447694] was used for pressing identified by a CP suffix on labels and runouts. Afterward,[l25946] became their primary distributor.

Actor Christian Reiner reads the German translation of Italian poet Pier Paolo Pasolini's work 'Land der Arbeit'. The Italian poet, essayist and filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini was always an independent and unsparing chronicler of his time. In these texts, he tirelessly denounces social ills in his country; but his Catholic faith and the question of the art of poetry, too, run like strands through his work. "He wanted to celebrate the festival of life, the flower of passion, the flower of play, and finally, as an extreme action, the flower of death, his death," Wolf Wondratschek writes in his accompanying text. In this undertaking, the question of "how close one can come to the meaning of the poems" and "from being an admirer to becoming a poet's brother" were essential. This year marks the 100th anniversary of Pasolini's birth.

The collaboration between Wolf Wondratschek, Manfred Eicher and Christian Reiner was most recently preceded by the album Joseph Brodsky - Elegy to John Donne, as well as, in 2012, the Turmgedichte with works by Friedrich Hölderlin.
