Johannes BRAHMS (1833-1897) Four Preludes and Serious Songs Op
Johannes BRAHMS (1833-1897) Four Preludes and Serious Songs Op. 121 (1896 arr. orch. Detlev Glanert, 2004-5) [24:28] Detlev GLANERT (b. 1960) Weites land (2016) [11:25] Johannes BRAHMS Clarinet Sonata in F minor Op. 120 No 1 (1894 arr. Luciano Berio, 1986) [22:45] Michael Nagy (baritone) Kari Kriikku (clarinet) Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra/Olari Elts rec. November 2014 (Songs), June 2016 (Weites Land, sonata), Helsinki Music Centre ONDINE ODE1263-2 [59:12] The presiding spirit of this disc is Brahms, but Brahms as seen by two more recent composers. First we have an orchestral transcription of Brahms’s Four Serious Songs by Detlev Glanert. Glanert was born in Hamburg, as was Brahms, became a pupil of Hans Werner Henze and has concentrated, as only a German composer can, on writing operas. So far there have been ten of these, and his Caligula has been widely admired and also recorded. His idiom, like that of his mentor, starts from late romanticism and moves in the direction of expressionism, but the expressionism of Zemlinsky and Korngold rather than that of Schoenberg or Berg. He has a particular enthusiasm for Brahms, of which this version of the Four Serious Songs is one of the fruits. The songs were one of Brahms’s last compositions. The immediate occasion for them seems to have been last illness of his dear friend Clara Schumann, linked with a premonition of his own death. The texts are from the Bible, three sombre ones from the Old Testament (Ecclesiastes and Ecclesiasticus) and St Paul’s well-known hymn to love from the New (1 Corinthians). -

Signe particulier : Minimaliste Fan de : Henry Purcell Violon d’Ingres : Les musiques de films Michael Nyman (Photo : X.D.R) DU CRITIQUE MUSICAL AU COMPOSITEUR ichael Nyman a étudié le piano et le clavecin au Royal College of Music et au King’s College. A cette époque, il compose déjà mais en 1964, il décide de mettre de côté l’écriture Mmusicale pour travailler en tant que musicologue puis par la suite, il devient critique musical. Ses articles se retrouvent dans des revues comme The Listener, The Spectator... Durant cette période, le monde de la musique contemporaine est fortement imprégné par des compositeurs comme Boulez, Stockhausen, Xenakis… À travers ses articles, Michael Nyman choisit de mettre en lumière des courants musicaux émergents. Dans le même temps, il n’hésite pas à consacrer ses analyses musicales à des genres autres que le classique : le rock, la musique indienne… Cet éclectisme l’amènera plus tard à jouer et composer avec des musiciens issus de divers horizons musicaux. Ainsi, dans le courant des années 1970, il collabore tour à tour avec le groupe de rock anglais The Flying Lizards1, avec le mandoliniste indien U.Shrinivas ou bien encore avec sa compatriote Kate Bush2. -

Michael Nyman
Michael Nyman Quan Michael Nyman va publicar, el 1974, el seu estudi Experimental Music. Cage and Beyond [Música Experimental. De Cage en endavant] difícilment hauria previst la seva pròpia contribució a aquest “en endavant”. Distanciat del que aleshores era l’ortodòxia del modernisme internacional, Nyman va abandonar la composició el 1964, preferint treballar com a musicòleg. Més endavant va escriure crítiques per a diferents diaris, incloent-hi The Spectator, on, en un escrit de 1968 sobre The Great Digest de Foto: Perou Cornelius Cardews, va utilitzar per primera vegada la paraula “minimalisme” aplicada a la música. El mateix any, un programa de la BBC sobre Come Out, de Steve Reich, va obrir les seves orelles a noves possibilitats. Era l’inici de la seva activitat com a compositor. El 1968 va posar música al llibret de Down by the Greenwood Side, de Harrison Birtwistle. Més tard, Birtwistle li va encarregar els arranjaments de cançons venecianes del segle XVIII per a una producció del 1976 de Il Campiello de Carlo Goldoni, per a la qual Nyman va reunir el que ell mateix va descriure com “la banda de carrer sense amplificar més sorollosa” que es pogués imaginar. Nyman va conservar reunida la Campiello Band, afegint-se ell mateix al piano. Una banda necessita repertori, i Nyman va començar a proveir- se’n, començant per In Re Don Giovanni, un tractament característic de 16 compassos de Mozart. Després d’alguns canvis, la banda va incorporar amplificació i va passar a dir-se Michael Nyman Band. Aquest és el laboratori on Nyman ha formulat el seu estil de composició, basat en melodies consistents, ritmes flexibles però contundents i una manera de tocar articulada amb precisió. -

In those days, there were still patients who told their analyst, "Last night, I had a dream about killing a dragon and then advancing through a thick forest to a castle ...," whereupon the analyst triumphantly answered, "Ele• mentary, my dear patient! The dragon is your father, and the dream ex• presses your desire to kill him in order to return to the safe haven of the maternal castle. -
