Schubert: Die Winterreise -Hans Zender - Eine komponierte Interpretation

Schubert: Die Winterreise -Hans Zender - Eine komponierte Interpretation
ID: KAI0012002
CDs: 2
Type: CD
Collection: Vocal Collection
Subcollection: Voices and Chamber Ensemble

In this "composer's interpretation" Hans Zender takes on the sacred cow that is Franz Schubert's song cycle "Die Winterreise" and reconstructs it, much in the way a modern stage director might recontextualize an opera by changing its setting. The words and melodies remain and the sequence of songs is intact, but the accompaniments are rendered with a sense of fantasy, varying from a folksy guitar-and-harmonium background or the parlor intimacy of a string quartet to a completely modern percussion ensemble. At moments it sounds as if the poor love-forsaken traveler has wandered into a scene from Strauss or Berg, but what prevails above all is the haunted atmosphere of the original, the tandem vision of Schubert and the poet Muller that takes the listener from the pointed immediacy of heartbreak to the blurred numbness of insanity.

Morton Feldman - For Samuel Beckett / Klangforum Wien, Sylvain Cambreling

Morton Feldman - For Samuel Beckett / Klangforum Wien, Sylvain Cambreling
ID: KAI0012012
CDs: 1
Type: CD
Collection: Chamber Music
Subcollection: Chamber Ensemble

"'Beckett'...is a work for 23 players divided into five homophonic groups, each staying at or near its original pitch or pitches...The new disc has superlative sound: there is an inconspicuous crispness to Cambreling's Viennese band, but also a cushion-like warmth to the lower winds and strings, and a beautiful blend of timbres. This would be an excellent introduction to Feldman...Feldman acolytes will also need the disc. Indeed, no one should be caught without it." -Ashby, ARG

Beat Furrer - Nuun

Beat Furrer - Nuun
ID: KAI0012062
CDs: 1
Type: CD
Collection: Chamber Music
Subcollection: Chamber Ensemble

The Austrian composer of Swiss origin considers his art to be a "view over the moving matter 'sound'": Beat Furrer does not develop sounds, he observes them, his music does not unfold dynamically with time, but attempts to rescind it: "No beginning", writes Furrer, "everything is present from the start". "nuun" thus filters out the individual layers of an initially almost impenetrable sound, as when you suddenly discover structures in a monochrome painting upon taking a closer look. Furrer then compares the sound dramaturgy of "still" with an electrical circular saw which when set into operation almost inaudibly unfolds greatest power and energy - until it encounters resistance.

Wolfgang Rihm - Gejagte Form

Wolfgang Rihm - Gejagte Form

"Art, working with art and making art, is in itself an invitation to boundless freedom. There can be no submission here," writes Wolfgang Rihm. "Uncertainty predominates, the only potential for an agile mind." Four pieces of one of the most significant and provocative post-war composers whose titles speak for themselves: "Gejagte Form" or hunted form, "Verborgene Formen" or concealed forms, "Chiffre I" or cipher, and "Silence to be beaten (Chiffre II)". Four pieces of music that attempt to realise what Wolfgang Rihm considers "art's purpose": "Not to be a place of refuge but a reservoir of energy in regressive times."

While standing at the waterfall, we become aware of our thoughts, but not the waterfall itself; if we succeed in letting our thoughts stand still, we hear a melody within the turmoil. Everyone his own. (Peter Ablinger)

Gérard Grisey - Quatre chants pour franchir le seuil

Gérard Grisey - Quatre chants pour franchir le seuil
ID: KAI0012252
CDs: 1
Type: CD
Collection: Chamber Music
Subcollection: Chamber Ensemble

... As only few other composers, Gérard Grisey was a master at working in these various "altidudes", one who skilfully zoomed back and forth between micro- and macro-time, or, in Grisey's beautiful imagery, between human time and the extended time of whales and the extremely compressed time of insects. and this disposal of time, of the hearing perspevtive - Grisey certainly knew it - affords the music a power that touches on the metaphysical just as the texts of "Quatre chants" do. "Fertilised with time, the music is afforded the power of the sacred of which Georges Bataille speaks; mute and silent forces that invoke and exorcise the sound and its emergence - perhaps and only for a moment.

GEORG FRIEDRICH HAAS - in vain - Klangforum Wien - Sylvain Cambreling

GEORG FRIEDRICH HAAS - in vain - Klangforum Wien - Sylvain Cambreling
ID: KAI0012332
CDs: 1
Type: CD
Collection: Orchestral Works
Subcollection: Orchestra

When the light gradually fades, only minutes after in vain begins, the quick, interlaced downward lines starting from the outset cease, while soft, lying tones remain, dodging each other by way of quarter-tone intervals. As in Violinkonzert, two harmonic starting points are contrasted: on the one hand, extracts of pure overtone series, on the other hand, chords in the tempered piano mood made of thirds, fourths, and fifths. The difference between these two tone system blurs after the end of the second dark phase with a renewed acceleration of the tempo in the increasing density of the sound. The hearing experience of the overall sound is decisive for Haas:"I don't trust in sound analyses nor in row charts", he explains, examining the detailed computer analyses of real sounds. Georg Friedrich Haas really has a bent for numbers; the implicit symbolism of numbers in in vain applies even to the relation between the size of orchestration (24 instruments in the dark, plus the director in the light) and the microtonal 24:25 interval.

Johannes Maria Staud - Berenice.Lied vom Verschwinden

Johannes Maria Staud - Berenice.Lied vom Verschwinden
ID: KAI0012392
CDs: 1
Type: CD
Collection: Vocal Collection
Subcollection: Voices and Orchestra

Sophisticated formal strategies, a strict organisation of material, in a nutshell: with the greatest nonchalance, Staud draws on a secured intellectual foundation and on long-proscribed emotionality for his music. In his determination to express himself, the composer does not shy from highly expressive moments, excited cascades of sound, dynamic and strongly staggering commotions, or apparently self-reflective lyrical passages - and continuously subjects these to precise structural controls. A highly emotional approach, which at the same time is precisely calculated. For Staud, one of the key parameters in this calculation is the tonal quality of his music.

Type: CD
Collection: Vocal Collection

Light and air in a state of constant, subtly detailed movement: this is also the nature of Sciarrino‘s music, as if it had soaked up all those delicate colours and adopted the mobility of air, captured its nocturnal buzzing-sounds with a net veil and transformed them into fluctuating sonorities, roaring and murmuring. One could almost think that the flickering odours of Mediterranean landscapes had entered the fleeting images of such music. Vague suggestions emerging from an old cultural realm, transposed into the present, lingering briefly and then disappearing once more. An interplay of sound and silence, free-floating fragments no longer within the domain of the unambiguous: one listens to them spellbound. (Lothar Knessl)
