ADYNARPP1.Pdf Revolutionary. „Wagner, the magician, has made the orchestra disappear.“ (Georg Solti) However, this recording goes one step further than the master, with his unusual stage design in Bayreuth. With the removal of „orchestral and vocal commotion“ (Carlos Kleiber, in the studio during the mixing of his TRISTAN recording), the listener is able to hear the very essence of the work, which suddenly has „much more of an inward effect “ (CK). Here, in the RING PIANOS PROJECT, the music is once again li- berated from the effects of orchestration. „The result is uncanny, drawing you in with a seemingly magical series of harmonies and notes to produce a deeper and more intense experience“ (Klaus Hiemann, Studio Engineer for Carlos Kleiber, speaking about this recording). Thanks to Cord Garben and Thomas Hoppe for the tour de force. Thanks to Steingraeber for the concert grands; Franz Liszt and Richard Wagner were not mistaken. Thanks to our puristic sound engineer Johannes Müller and mas- tering guru Christoph Stickel, on behalf of all audiophile Wagnerites. Thanks to Dynaudio for the monitors, on which only true gold glitters. And thanks to everyone who who will fall for this recording in Wagner Year 2013. Never before has there been a Ring like this. See, he smiles in the shining light. Wilfried Ehrenholz and Jan Geschke, Hamburg, Producers Perfectly single and simple. „In the Nibelung‘s Ring we find an enormous range of emotions, from the deepest sorrow, pain and despair to joy, wonder and elevated pride, from fear and anxiety to self-confidence and firmness, from arrogance to heroism, from hate and rage to rapture and ecstasy, from betrayal, treachery and falseness to compassion, tenderness, love and total self-sacrifice. Its dramatic moments lie quite outside the consciousness of people whose joys and sorrows are all domestic and personal, and whose religions and political ideas are purely conventional and superstitious. To them it is a struggle between half a dozen fairytale personages for a ring, involving hours of scolding and cheating, and one long scene in a dark gruesome mine, with gloomy, ugly music, and not a glimpse of a handsome young man or pretty woman. Only those of wider consciousness can follow it breathlessly, seeing in it the who- le tragedy of human history and the whole horror of the dilemmas from which the world is shrinking today. Now to be devoted to Wagner merely as a dog is devoted to his master, sharing a few elementary ideas, appetites and emotions with him, and, for the rest, reverencing his superiority without understanding it, is no true Wagnerism. The Ring music is perfectly single and simple. It is the adept musician of the old school who has everything to unlearn.“ George Bernard Shaw, Ayot St. Lawrence, 1898 Occupy Wagner. „See there, there stream the legions from the factories; they‘ve made and fashioned lordly stuffs, themselves and children, they are naked, frozen, hungry; for not to them belongs the fruit of all their labour, but to the rich and mighty one who calls men and the earth his own. Annulled be the fancy that makes man bond-slave to his handiwork, to property. Man‘s highest good is his fashioning force, the fount whence springs all happi- ness forever; and not in the created. (..) I will destroy this order of things, that cuts enjoyment off from labour, makes labour a load, enjoyment a vice, makes one man wretched through want, another through overflow...” Richard Wagner, co-editor of “The Revolution”, April 8, 1849, Dresden On May 9, Wagner was forced to flee Dresden, together with the Russian anar- chist Mikhail Bakunin, among others. In Chemnitz, Bakunin and two of Wagner‘s fugitive friends were taken prison while they slept; Wagner escaped to Weimar. Along with others, Bakunin was condemned to death, but was pardoned and spent years in imprisonment. Wagner remained in exile for 12 years, during which time he worked on the RING. Apocalypse, now.

In great inner turmoil, Wotan strips his favourite daughter Brünnhilde of her immortality. He encloses her in a ring of fire, until she is freed by her worthy hero. Back to the source. The works of great symphonic literature were developed by their composers in the notation from a nucleus of two or three systems: piano score (2 note sys- tems) and short score (3 to 4) contain the first structuring of the musical ideas. Here, themes and motifs are developed and their course determined. At this point, the composer already has an idea of the orchestral instrument to which he will allocate each musical component, leading to the final overall sound in the orchestration process. Even one page of a large Wagner score, which may contain up to 30 note sys- tems, started out as just a few staves. When a director or composer familiar with the craft decides to „arrange“ scores from great Wagnerian musical dramas for the piano, he reverses this develop- ment process: now it is about recreating the sounds with only the piano. Thus, where there might seem to be a disadvantage for the listener, because of a lack of sounds from the instruments of the orchestra, there is in fact an advantage: by reducing the sounds available to only those of the piano, the listener is able to directly hear the structure of the work and its harmonic grammar. Thanks to this deeper insight into the inner workings of the music, the next time the listener falls under its spell in the theatre, he or she will hear it with different ears.

  • Thomas, Augusta Read Dancing Helix Rituals
    Dancing Helix Rituals (2006) Augusta Read Thomas “Somewhat of a cross between ‘Jazz’ (Monk, Coltrain, Tatum, Miles, etc.) and ‘Classical’ (Bartok, Stravinsky, Varèse, Berio, Boulez, etc.), Dancing Helix Rituals can be heard as a lively dance made up of a series of outGrowths and variations which are orGanic and, at every level, concerned with transformations and connections. Each player serves as a protagonist as well as a fulcrum point on and around which all others’ musical force fields rotate, bloom, and proliferate. There is refined loGic to every nuance which stems from the sound, in context, on its own terms and the form is that of an eiGht-minute crescendo. AlthouGh Dancing Helix Rituals stands fully on its own as art music, it can be performed along with dancers. The early Stravinsky ballets are works I hold in Great reverence, have studied, love, and embrace as models in my inner ear. As a result, I tend to hear and feel all of my music, in particular my orchestral works, as music suitable for dance. As I compose, I sinG, dance, move, and conduct at my draftinG table. The process is visceral. My ears and mind are both analytical as well as intuitive and I ‘feel’ and ‘hear’ every note and rhythm and color clearly. (I hope you can sense that precision.) This is music composed with the whole ear and whole body, not a cerebral, overly analytical exercise in pushinG twelve-tone rows–or spectra–or rearranGed quotes of borrowed ethnic phrases around a computer screen, for instance! The sounds are varied, colorful, crosscut, unexpected, and yet hopefully sound inevitable in the way that a jazz improvisation sounds spontaneous and unpreventable.

  • Joseph Kuipers Is One of the Rare Musical Voices of Today: the Fresh Sincerity of His Playing, Combined with Technical Sovereignty Over the Instrument
    “Joseph Kuipers is one of the rare musical voices of today: the fresh sincerity of his playing, combined with technical sovereignty over the instrument. He draws a dark, singing sound out of his Ceruti Cello, and creates lines that seem to float effortlessly.” Berliner Abend Post American cellist Joseph Kuipers is renowned for his creativity and versatility in his captivating performances on both modern and gut strings. Appearing at festivals and music centers around the globe, he has performed at the Ravinia Music Festival, Aspen Music Festival, Les Festival International du Domaine Forget, Kronberg Academy, Ascoli Piceno Festival, Carl Orff Festival, and the World Cello Congress. Equally at home with modern and baroque performance styles, and often juxtaposing them in concert programs, Joseph has worked extensively with living composers, among them Robert Cogan, Heinz Holliger, Helmut Lachenmann and Arvo Part: and has performed with the Ensemble für Neue Musik Basel, Neue Musik Ensemble Mannheim, Second Instrumental Unit, New York, and the Callithumpian Consort of Boston. Joseph is the Artistic Director of the Fredericksburg Music Festival where world renowned European classical musicians gather in historic Fredericksburg TX for a week of music making. In 2010 Joseph founded the Marinus Project an international collective of chamber musicians dedicated to the tradition of classical music in our time. Marinus is the “Ensemble in Residence” at Washington and Lee University and Eastern University. In April 2011 the Marinus Ensemble received a $200,000 unrestricted artist development grant to further the Marinus Project. Joseph completed his undergraduate studies at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, where his primary teachers were Paul Katz for cello and Pozzi Escot for composition.
