Wolfgang Rihm - Gejagte Form (version 1995/1996)
I like the whole cycle, it seems to me, "forms hunted" by Rihm. We find this sometimes hectic race, here initiated by a quartet of flutes and clarinets, barely out of harp and orchestra joined by bursts, which is then organized into multi-layers. Different climates succeed, however, more stalls than in other parts of this cycle, it was time to settle, even if the rhythmic pulsation leads us forever. It is lively, sometimes film, even with suspense, and an end in cliffhanger.Hugues Dufour - Hunters in the Snow
Since there is a screen above the stage, they plan to introduce the image of the painting by Bruegel . The pace is less hectic than Rihm (and yet it is one of the warmest cycle "Winters" Dufourt!). We feel fatigue fighters, cold, waiting punctuated by mini-dramatic events. I do not know if Mantovani not bored a bit by pointing this music very different from hers. In complement the many musicians from the CIS, there is a very pretty Russian violinist, which helps move lengths.Dmitri Kourliandski - Items I and II impossible
These are the parts that best justify the theme of "total art" of this concert, which received the most advertising on social networks (the room is full, indeed ...), and that are the worst of the evening, and I hope the year. It takes nearly a quarter of an hour to change the set, with small lights on each desk, as the orchestra will be in darkness, so we can pass the video on the big screen. The music is indeed transcribed real-time computer animation: hence the appearance total art. Except it is a poverty that is pathetic. The music seems to consist of several elements that hardly varied over a quarter of an hour (for an object, slamming the strings vacuum roaring winds that blow and hoot, and very metal percussion; for object 2, things that squeak and scrape, and widgets that whine and squeak), and this is reflected on the screen so simplistic (the object 1 is an architectural scene, with beams that s 'illuminate when slamming the strings, and walls that destructure hum when the winds; Item 2 is a sculpture of tangled wood planks that move, with faceted balls that form and evolve in points of convergence). And that's all. One has the impression of a demonstration, perhaps a "proof of concept. Except that I saw more interesting in Winamp ... Use the resources of the CIS for such a poor result is really a waste.And then, incredible, almost unheard of in the City, a creation of the CIS, was booed by a section of the public! Phew.
Bruno Mantovani - Chamber Concerto No. 1
Concerto for chamber orchestra, which multiplies interventions virtuoso soloists (congratulations to Jerome Count for the solo clarinet), a structure in which the composer said trying to renew his way of writing music, and who suddenly loses in originality and identity, to join the battalion works in full and loose with soli and tutti, moments of expectation and moments of frenzy, like writing a little for everyone. Fine individual passages, but alloys sound less interesting than usual.Elsewhere: The concert is available for a few months Music City Live .
