Arvo Pärt: Anima |
|
 |
|
Arvo Pärt, by virtue of his distinctive, soulful music, enthuses his audience like no other contemporary classical composer. This album is the first-ever compilation of all compositions by Pärt that have been transcribed for saxophone quartet – revealing them, so to speak, without words, “only” through breath, through oscillating columns of air. The Italian Alea Saxophone Quartet master this task brilliantly. Find the album right here. |

Les Espaces Électroacoustiques |
|
 |
|
Is a musical performance “historically informed”? Does it do justice to the “original sound”? Is it even possible to truly experience the “original idea” behind a composition when it is performed with “modern instruments”? We are familiar with questions such as these in connection with the interpretation of so-called early music. On this double album they are rigorously applied to so-called new music. Find the album right here. |

Federspiel: Smaragd |
|
 |
|
"The music they make is an acoustic gingerbread, lustily oral, closely linked to eating, drinking, kissing, breathing, living." (...) "It is brass instrument music with its origins in the depths of the country, but which then always branches o in surprising ways, not meeting the usual expectations but instead surprising with something new." (Franzobel) Find the album right here. |

| Helmut Lachenmann |
|
Allegro Sostenuto |
|
|
|
|
| Resonance and motion take center stage in Allegro Sostenuto. Lachenmann’s “idea of a musique concrète” bears remarkable fruit in Pression and Dal niente. |
|
| Morton Feldman |
|
Triadic Memories |
|
|
|
|
| The sound as the center of being: grown from silence, Feldman reaches the bounds of comprehensibility in Triadic Memories. |
|
| Alban Berg |
|
Songs from the Youth |
|
|
|
|
| Even before he became Arnold Schönberg’s student, Alban Berg wrote some 40 Jugendlieder, ’early lieder’: Romantic poetry as mirrored by the Fin de Siècle. |
