  • Erkki-Sven Tüür
    © Kaupo Kikkas Erkki-Sven Tüür Contemporary BIOGRAPHIE Erkki-Sven Tüür Mit einem breit gefächerten musikalischen Hintergrund und einer Vielzahl von Interessen und Einflüssen ist Erkki- Sven Tüür einer der einzigartigsten Komponisten der Zeitgenössischen Musik. Tüür hat 1979 die Rockgruppe In Spe gegründet und bis 1983 für die Gruppe als Komponist, Flötist, Keyboarder und Sänger gearbeitet. Als Teil der lebhaften Szene der Zeitgenössischen Musik Estlands unternahm er instrumentale Studien an der Tallinn Music School, studierte Komposition mit Jaan Rääts an der Estonian Academy of Music und erhielt Unterricht bei Lepo Sumera. Intensive energiereiche Transformationen bilden den Hauptcharakter von Tüürs Werken, wobei instrumentale Musik im Vordergrund seiner Arbeit steht. Bis heute hat er neun Sinfonien, Stücke für Sinfonie- und Streichorchester, neun Instrumentalkonzerte, ein breites Spektrum an Kammermusikwerken und eine Oper komponiert. Tüür möchte mit seiner Musik existenzielle Fragen aufwerfen, vor allem die Frage: „Was ist unsere Aufgabe?“ beschäftigt ihn. Er stellte fest, dass dies eine wiederkehrende Frage von Denkern und Philosophen verschiedener Länder ist. Eins seiner Ziele ist es, die kreative Energie des Hörers zu erreichen. Tüür meint, die Musik als eine abstrakte Form von Kunst ist dazu fähig, verschiedene Visionen für jeden von uns und jedes individuelle Wesen zu erzeugen, denn wir sind alle einzigartig. Sein Kompositionsansatz ähnelt der Art und Weise, mit der ein Architekt ein mächtiges Gebäude wie eine Kathedrale, ein Theater oder einen anderen öffentlichen Ort entwirft. Er meint dennoch, dass die Verantwortung eines Komponisten über die eines Architekten hinausgeht, weil er Drama innerhalb des Raums mit verschiedenen Charakteren und Kräften konstruiert und dabei eine bestimmte, lebende Form von Energie kreiert.

In his early teens, when Smetana sought instruction from the best Czech piano teachers available to him, his abilities quickly exceeded theirs. His worried father sent him to make up lost academic ground at the Gymnasium in modern-day Pilsen, where he successfully completed his studies. But he had been swept away by performances by Franz Liszt in 1840, and even when his studies kept him from composing or performing, his reading was dominated by music history, giving his eventual interest in musical nationalism a firm academic grounding.
