The first movement contains a concealed reference to her first name in the musical notation a-g-a-h-e, while the whole work is full of technical ingenuity and poetic inspiration.

The energetic opening displays the virtuosity of the first violin whilst the rest of the quintet acts as an entire string orchestra.

    MAGNUS LINDBERG AL LARGO • CELLO CONCERTO NO. 2 • ERA ANSSI KARTTUNEN FINNISH RADIO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA HANNU LINTU MAGNUS LINDBERG (1958) 1 Al largo (2009–10) 24:53 Cello Concerto No. 2 (2013) 20:58 2 I 9:50 3 II 6:09 4 III 4:59 5 Era (2012) 20:19 ANSSI KARTTUNEN, cello (2–4) FINNISH RADIO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA HANNU LINTU, conductor 2 MAGNUS LINDBERG 3 “Though my creative personality and early works were formed from the music of Zimmermann and Xenakis, and a certain anarchy related to rock music of that period, I eventually realised that everything goes back to the foundations of Schoenberg and Stravinsky – how could music ever have taken another road? I see my music now as a synthesis of these elements, combined with what I learned from Grisey and the spectralists, and I detect from Kraft to my latest pieces the same underlying tastes and sense of drama.” – Magnus Lindberg The shift in musical thinking that Magnus Lindberg thus described in December 2012, a few weeks before the premiere of Era, was utter and profound. Lindberg’s composer profile has evolved from his early edgy modernism, “carved in stone” to use his own words, to the softer and more sonorous idiom that he has embraced recently, suggesting a spiritual kinship with late Romanticism and the great masters of the early 20th century. On the other hand, in the same comment Lindberg also mentioned features that have remained constant in his music, including his penchant for drama going back to the early defiantly modernistKraft (1985).

    22. - 25. MAI 2015 PROGRAMM GRUSSWORT DER GASTGEBER Wir möchten Sie hier auf der Brunegg herzlich willkommen heissen. Esther Hoppe und Jürg Dähler haben mit ihren Kolleginnen und Kollegen ein Programm zusammengestellt, das schon bei der ersten Ankündigung begeisterte Kommentare ausgelöst hat. Wir freuen uns mit Ihnen auf ein hervorragendes musikalisches Erlebnis. Bis anhin hatten wir die Räumlichkeiten stets nur für private Anlässe benützt. Dass nun die Öffentlichkeit Zutritt hat, ist vollkommen neu, und wir wollen damit eine neue Tradition beginnen. Da wir hier unser privates Wohnen eingerichtet haben, bitten wir Sie um Verständnis, wenn Sie keinen Zutritt in unsere Wohnräume erhalten. Diese stehen übrigens zum Teil den Künstlern zur Verfügung. Brunegg war seit dem Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts im Besitz der Familie Hünerwadel von Lenzburg und gelangte durch die Heirat von Marie Pauline mit Adolf von Salis, dem Vater von Jean Rudolf von Salis, in unsere Familie. Es wurde im Sommer sehr lebhaft zu geselligem Zusammensein genutzt; es wurde gewohnt, gespielt, geschrieben und diskutiert. Wir selber haben seit den 1990er Jahren Renovations- und Umbauarbeiten machen lassen; die Unterburg erhielt zwei moderne Wohnungen und den Festraum in der Tenne. Das Schloss oben und die Gartenanlagen wurden tiefgreifenden Restaurierungen und Erneuerungen unterzogen; die gesamte Anlage wurde von einem halb ruinenhaften in den heutigen, bequem bewohn- und bespielbaren Zustand umgewandelt. Wir hoffen, dass Sie das mit uns geniessen können und wünschen Ihnen ein gelungenes Pfingstfestival!

Organizing a competition of this size and scope, which includes all of the modern string instruments in junior and senior divi- sions, is a complicated enterprise and there are many individu- als whose contributions have made it possible. My deepest thanks go to Libby Dietrich, who thoughtfully and comprehen- sively oversaw myriad aspects and details for this competition. President Stephen Benham, president-elect Brenda Brenner, and all of the staff at the national office took care of many other facets of the competition including raising the prize mon- ey—one of the most important and difficult tasks that goes into making it a successful event. A big thank you as well to the online judges, who in addition to selecting our online prize win- ners and the six Laureate Finalists (from more than 100 en- trants), also acted as my advisory committee. Our judges for the finals are generously offer- ing their time, knowledge, and artistry by giving master classes at the conference. We thank them and hope that you have or will attend their classes.
