A modern sequel to the music of the Romantic era. The first movement hints at the chromatic of 'Tristan?- cantilena lines convey a mournful scene. It is succeeded by a brilliant scherzo with the cryptic title 'Erste fremde Szene? (First Foreign/Unknown Scene - one is invited to solve this riddle), while the third movement, with its singing quality, is related to the first. The final movement, a 'Z…

Par RASCH TORSTEN. Was bedeutet die Bewegung… a Mendelssohn song cycle for baritone and strings was premiered in 2012 by the renowned baritone Matthias Goerne. This is no workaday transcription: in addition to skilfully arranging seven Mendelssohn songs for strings and voice, Rasch has created a number of striking interludes to link the songs together. These interludes, written in Rasch's own post…

Par ADES THOMAS. ''Still Sorrowing' - a lament which is also a homage to Romantic sentiments - proved to make the most ingenious use of a 'prepared' piano that I have heard in a long time. While a recurrent plaint tintinnabulates at the top of the piano's range and deep chords resonate at the bottom, some muffling device allows intricate figures and rhythms at mid-keyboard to rattle hollowly - a h…

Par DE HAAN JACOB. This composition is based on a passacaglia theme, in which artistic perfection, symphonic drama and oriental melody lines play a role.

Gershwin fut l'un des premiers compositeurs d'introduire dans les rythmes des chansons populaires et rebondissements mélodiques de jazz. L'un des meilleurs exemples se trouvent dans l'homme, j'adore.
