Eine Fülle an Farben, die ans Maß- lose grenzt. Ein Gewimmel von Gestalten, das die Ohren überfordert. Ein Ganzes, das weit mehr ist als seine Teile, doch ohne diese zu verschlucken. Solcherart mögen die ersten Eindrücke sein, die man von der Musik Michael Pelzels empfängt. Viel (und vieles zugleich) geschieht in ihr, und wer sie unbefangen hört, wird sich von ihr geradezu aufgesogen fühlen, hinein- gestoßen ins Klanggeschehen und zunächst einmal aller refl exiven Distanz beraubt. Tatsächlich hat diese Musik in der Üppigkeit ihrer Mittel etwas Dionysisches, Anarchisch-Ungebundenes – was freilich keineswegs einen Verzicht auf planvolle Strukturierung und kompositorisches Kalkül bedeutet.

Les frontières, c’est “ce d’où nous venons, ce que nous sommes, ce qui va venir. Tout. Nous sommes la membrane entre le macrocosme et le microcosme, entre l’intérieur – ce que nous sommes et le dehors – ce que nous sommes aussi. Nous vivons de cela. L’interférence entre les deux est très com- plexe, c’est la vie même parce que nous sommes les deux à la fois, cet échange entre l’intérieur et l’extérieur. Et nous ne savons pas vrai- ment si nous ne sommes pas surtout composés du dehors. Je ne crois pas que la vie soit une entité bien façonnée, je pense au contraire que c’est un concept très fragile, dépendant autant de l’extérieur que de l’intérieur.

Die zeitgenössische Musik war ihm genauso wichtig – wie sein Interesse an der Musik Richard Wagners beweist. Auch heute wäre es ein Irrtum, musikalische Erlebnisse nur aus der Vergangen- heit schöpfen zu wollen. So wichtig und bedeutend die Musik früherer Jahrhun- derte ist, so sehr sie bis heute die Herzen vieler Menschen zu erreichen vermag, sie ersetzt die Aktualität heutiger Klangschöpfungen nicht.

  • Biographic Sketch and Work Catalogue
    Biographic Sketch and Work Catalogue Jörg Widmann was born on 19 June 1973 in Munich, the son of a physicist and a teacher and textile artist. His younger sister is the violinist and violin professor Carolin Widmann. He began clarinet lessons at age 7, completing his education with Gerd Starke at the Munich Music Academy and with Charles Neidich at the Juilliard School in New York. His studies in composition began with Kay Westermann when he was 11 years old; they were continued in 1994-1996 with Wilfried Hiller and Hans Werner Henze and concluded in 1997-1999 with Heiner Goebbels and Wolfgang Rihm. Since the fall of 2001, Widmann has been teaching as professor of clarinet at the Musikhochschule Freiburg; eight years later the same institution additionally named him professor of composition. As a clarinetist, Widmann champions chamber music. He concertizes regularly with partners like the oboist Heinz Holliger, the violists Tabea Zimmermann and Kim Kashkashian, the pianists András Schiff and Hélène Grimaud, and the soprano Christine Schäfer. Moreover, he is celebrated at home and abroad as a soloist in clarinet concertos, and several contem- porary composers have dedicated works for or with clarinet to him. Thus he premiered Wolfgang Rihm’s Music for Clarinet and Orchestra in 1999, Aribert Reimann’s Cantus in 2006, Heinz Holliger’s Rechant in 2009, and Peter Ruzicka’s Three Pieces for Clarinet Solo in 2012. In the course of the years 1993 to 2013, i.e., the two decades between his twentieth and his fortieth birthdays, Widmann has written more than eighty compositions.

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.
