Zazněly téměř čtyři desítky skladeb a časový rozptyl jejich vzniku byl poměrně široký. Na naší scéně vzniklo postupem času mnoho mezer, které jsme měli potřebu alespoň symbolicky zaplnit. Nejenže naprostá většina skladeb byla uvedena v české pre- miéře, ale našlo se i nejedno zásadní a na evropských pódiích běžné skladatelské jméno, které by- chom na programu domácích hudebních událostí hledali do té doby marně. Druhý ročník festivalu Contempuls sleduje stejnou linii: důraz na mezinárodní rozměr festivalu jak ve výběru skladeb, tak účinkujících.

Es verweist also manches auf Gemeinsamkeiten zwischen zu haben.“ Musik und Sprache. Und will man Wissenschaftlern glauben, gibt es Anzeichen für die Existenz einer emotionalen »musikalischen« Protosprache. Dass es solch eine Verbindung gibt, könnte man am Werk Robert Schumanns festmachen, der ein enges Verhältnis zu beiden hatte, Musik wie Sprache. Er gehörte zu den seltenen musikalisch-litera- rischen Doppelbegabungen, vielleicht setzte er deshalb so exzellent Literatur in Musik um und schuf so seine bekannten Liederzyklen, die im April mit dem Tenor Christian Gerhaher zu hören sind. Wenn Michael Wollny nicht Jazzpianist geworden wäre, ließe er seiner Fantasie vielleicht als Schriftsteller freien Raum. Bei uns wird das Michael Wollny Trio den Gesang dem in New York lebenden Sprach- akrobaten und Sänger Theo Bleckmann überlassen. Und russisch-orthodoxe Vokalmusik bringt der Moskauer Kathedralchor u. a. mit seinen berühmten Bass-Stimmen. Dass der Komponist Johann Sebastian Bach Dreh- und Angelpunkt vieler Konzertprogramme ist, ist in der Passionszeit kein Wunder.

    ©Michael Fritschi Programme Mike Svoboda (*1960) sombre joie (titre de travail) (2019) pour deux harpes et live électronique Durée: 25 Minutes Soutenu par Kulturelles Basel-Land et Basel-Stadt Karlheinz Stockhausen (1928-2007) FREUDE (2005) aus Klang – Die 24 Stunden des Tages pour deux harpes Durée: 40 Minutes Première 21 Septembre 2109 Festival ZeitRäume Basel Musiciens Aecstasy Alice Belugou, Harpe Estelle Costanzo, Harpe Andreas Eduardo Frank, Électronique Freude de Karlheinz Stockhausen Karlheinz Stockhausen a reçu une commande de Don Luigi Garbini pour écrire la deuxième heure de son cycle Klang en vue d’une création dans la cathédrale de Milan à la Pentecôte 2006. Stockhausen « accepta avec joie et pensa immédiatement à une œuvre pour deux harpes » (Stokhausen, 2006). Fondée sur le texte de la célèbre hymne catholique Veni Creator Spiritu, vraisemblablement composée au IXe siècle par Raban Maur et habituellement chantée à la Pentecôte, Freude met en scène deux harpistes se faisant face et chantant cette hymne tout en jouant sur des harpes amplifiées. S’il n’y a aucune indication à ce sujet dans la partition, une tradition scénographie semble déjà ancrée dans les esprits des interprètes : cette pièce a jusqu’alors presque systématiquement été jouée en tenue blanche et longue. La durée de l’œuvre et sa formation instrumentale la rendent difficile à programmer. En effet, la pièce est trop courte pour constituer un programme à elle seule (40 minutes environ). Il n’existe cependant que peu de répertoire pour duo de harpes qui saurait être joué lors du même concert sans créer de fossé esthétique peu propice à l’écoute de Freude.

Doctor / The Man: Jeff Hallman Ensemble Modern With generous support from the Aventis Foundation, Kulturfond Frankfurt RheinMain and Frankfurt Patronatsverein – Sektion Oper David Lynch's film Lost Highway (1997) is a fascinating combination of psycho-thriller, horror and film noir. The Austrian composer Olga Neuwirth (*1968) and Literary Nobel Prize winner Elfriede Jelinek based their libretto on David Lynch and Barry Gifford's script. The World Premiere took place at the Steirische Herbst in Graz in 2003. Neuwirth developed a very ambitious way of telling the story about the „study of a person, who cannot come to terms with his fate“ (Gifford), combined with feverish changes in scene. Her score is extremely complex, combining intermedial threads with grand scale live electronics and video, which makes the fictionalised reality become almost virtual. „Dick Laurent is dead.“ The Jazz musician Fred hears this sentence over his intercom, and a door opens to a parallel universe.

And it is precisely in the last three years that Vito has achieved even greater success, recently being capped off with the prestigious Prešeren Fund Prize in 2014, as well as a series of performances of his compositions at a diverse range of international music venues. Vito’s close collaboration with composers and performers of various stylistic orientations was an additional impetus for us to prepare the Slowind Festival under the leadership of a Slovenian artistic director for the first time! This autumn, we will put ourselves at the mercy of the vortex of time and again celebrate to some extent. On this occasion, we will mark the th th 90 birthday of Pierre Boulez as well as the 80 birthday of Helmut Lachenmann and Georg Katzer. In addition to works by these distinguished th composers, the 17 Slowind Festival will also present a range of prominent composers of our time, including Bruno Mantovani, Brice Pauset, Michael Pelzel, Heinz Holliger, Beat Furrer and Márton Illés, as well as Slovenian composers Larisa Vrhunc, Nina Šenk, Bojana Šaljić Podešva, Uroš Rojko, and Matej Bonin, and, of course, the festival’s artistic director Vito Žuraj.
