Johannes Maria Staud -Apeiron

Johannes Maria Staud -Apeiron
ID: KAI0012672
CDs: 1
Type: CD
Subcollection: New Music

When Johannes Maria Staud refers in a commentary to one of his works to the pre-Socratic philosopher Anaximander and the latter’s contrasting pair of concepts apeiron (unlimited or infinite) and peras (limited or finite), he outlines a fundamental problem: the conflict between associative invention and logical development. The two compositions of the same name, however, are less suited to separate the two aspects of this relationship than to explore the various priorities between them. (Daniel Ender)

Includes booklet with texts by Daniel Ender, Durs Grünbein and Johannes Maria Staud


Born in 1974, Austrian composer Johannes Maria Staud has established a solid international career, including a substantial presence in the U.S., as featured guest composer at Tanglewood, and with a three-year residency with the Cleveland Orchestra. Apeiron, the highlighted work on this disc, is scored for a massive orchestra of 101 players, and while it has moments of gossamer delicacy, when Staud pulls out all the stops, he makes good use of all 101 players to create music of cataclysmic power. The title is taken from a cosmological theory developed by Greek philosopher Anaximander to describe the primal chaos that embraced and incorporated all things, and from which all things developed, and it's an apt metaphor for the sound of the music itself. Staud has said that the development of his pieces is organic rather than architectural, and Apeiron has a spontaneity and unpredictability that's more viscerally gripping than analytically explicable. Apeiron is the most intriguing and engaging piece.

JOSÉ MANUEL LÓPEZ LÓPEZ - Conciertos

JOSÉ MANUEL LÓPEZ LÓPEZ - Conciertos
ID: KAI0013022
CDs: 1
Type: CD
Collection: Instrumental
Subcollection: Violin

José Manuel López López, a composer with many long years of experience, stands out by virtue of his mature style of writing and the consistent way in which he adapts what he writes to the sound which he intends to produce. Since composing his initial musical works during the 1980s, his development has led from atonality to spectralism and, from there, on to experimentation with various temporal granulations. This CD brings together three symphonic works with solo instruments that exemplify this development. Written in the period between 1995 and 2005, they represent three distinctly different contributions to the contemporary orchestral repertoire.

FRIEDRICH CERHA - Bruchstück geträumt - 9 Bagatellen (Trio) - Instants for orchestra

FRIEDRICH CERHA - Bruchstück geträumt - 9 Bagatellen (Trio) - Instants for orchestra
ID: KAI0013152
CDs: 1
Type: CD
Collection: Orchestral Works
Subcollection: Orchestra

Cambreling, was one of the highlights of the ensemble’s 25th-anniversary season.
Cerha’s "Bagatelles" for string trio belong to the most difficult pieces in the repertoire and are of a quality equalled only by the trio works of Beethoven, by Schönberg’s op. 45 and by the 1987 piece Ikhoor by Iannis Xenakis.
His orchestral work "Instants", commissioned by broadcaster WDR and premièred in Cologne in 2010, can already be counted among the strongest orchestral emanations of the 21st century’s second decade.
