The energy, excitement, commitment, and intensity are so exciting and wonderful for a composer. Some of the very best performances I’ve ever had have been by the Philharmonic.” — Christopher Rouse _______________________________________ American composer Christopher Rouse will return in the 2013–14 season to continue his two- year tenure as the Philharmonic’s Marie-Josée Kravis Composer-in-Residence. The second person to hold the Composer-in-Residence title since Alan Gilbert’s inaugural season, following Magnus Lindberg, Mr. Rouse’s compositions and musical insights will be highlighted on subscription programs; in the Philharmonic’s appearance at the Spring For Music festival; in the NY PHIL BIENNIAL; on CONTACT! events; and in the ASIA / WINTER 2014 tour. Mr. Rouse said: “Part of the experience of music should be an exposure to the pulsation of life as we know it, rather than as people in the 18th or 19th century might have known it. It is wonderful that Alan is so supportive of contemporary music and so involved in performing and programming it.” 2 Alan Gilbert said: “I’ve always said and long felt that Chris Rouse is one of the really important composers working today.

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).

  • Tapiola Sinfonietta
    MAGNUS LINDBERG VIOLIN CONCERTO PEKKA KUUSISTO, VIOLIN & DIRECTOR JUBILEES SOUVENIR MAGNUS LINDBERG, CONDUCTOR TAPIOLA SINFONIETTA 1 Magnus Lindberg 2 nstrumental qualities have always inspired Magnus Lindberg (b. 1958). However abstract his musical ideas may Ibe and however tightly constructed their subsurface structures, his music is always instrumentally idiomatic and powerful. Often his ideas develop in an instrumental direction of their own accord; sometimes they emerge from the special properties of a particular instrument, fusing musical and instrumental innovation into a single creative act. This approach is of course heightened in concertos, which constitute an important genre in Lindberg’s output. He has written two concertos for piano (1990–94; 2012) and one each for cello (1997–99), clarinet (2001–02) and violin (2006), and other works with prominent solo parts. The Violin Concerto was written to a commission from the Lincoln Center in New York together with the Barbican Centre in London, the Casa de Música–Porto and the Swedish Chamber Orchestra and was premiered at the Mostly Mozart festival in New York in August 2006. Although the commission was specifically aimed at the 250th anniversary celebration of Mozart’s birth, Lindberg did not write a tribute with Mozart elements in it. However, the situation of the premiere had an influence on the work in the way that Lindberg used a smaller orchestra than usual. There are two oboes, two bassoons and two horns plus strings – a standard Mozart orchestra, in fact. The very fact that the ensemble is so small prompted clearer and more translucent structures than in many of Lindberg’s other orchestral works.

The aftershocks of Kraft gave birth to the edgy and aggressive UR for chamber ensemble and electronics (1986), but after that Lindberg felt that he had come to the end of this path. The transition was underlined by a severe tropical disease which he contracted on holiday and which prevented him from working for 18 months. Having returned to the drawing board, so to speak, Lindberg began to explore new ideals. The most substantial change occurred in his harmonic thinking. Lindberg described his new approach as “reflecting a tightly structured harmonic model against a kind of natural way of hearing and organising harmony, based on the overtone series,” or, in other words, a merger of serialist and spectral approaches. This new style translated into a more nuanced palette of sonorities, clear-cut textural designs and more determinedly dramaturgical processes.

The changes in his idiom and expression have not been abrupt but are the outcome of gradual musical evolution progressing slowly from one work to the next. Alongside this ongoing stylistic shift, Lindberg’s recent career in the 2010s was outlined by two appointments as composer-in-residence, both spanning multiple seasons, one with the New York Philharmonic (2009– 2012) and the other with the London Philharmonic (2014–2017). Both included commissions for several extensive works. Two Episodes and Accused, featured on the present disc, came about as a result of the London Philharmonic residency and were thus premiered in London. Nevertheless, as is currently common, both works actually had multiple commissioning parties. This reflects the prominent status that Lindberg has attained as a composer and also illustrates that the orchestra is his principal instrument. The co-commissioners of Two Episodes (2016) in addition to the London Philharmonic were BBC Radio 3, the Helsinki Festival and Casa da Música Porto.
