This emotional original work celebrates the entire United States space program and specifically the July 20th anniversary of the first lunar landing of Apollo 11 in 1969. The piece opens with a majestic and punctuated theme followed immediately by an inquisitive melody. This is interrupted to pay tribute to those lost in Apollo 1 then resumes and develops towards a glorious and soaring conclusion. A compelling choice! (3:30).

This is the 2013 version (reduced strings) of Per Nørgård's Remembering Child - Viola concerto No. 1 (1986) - Two Movements for Viola Solo (or Cello solo) and Chamber Orchestra. Programme Note: The title refers to the original meaning of the word remembering: Making whole. The work should not be considered as a sort of requiem for Samantha Smith - the late 13 years old fighter for nuclear disarmament - but as an evocation of the childish, creative forces in all people, young and old. Therefore the work applies thematic material of a certain dawning quality, including two Gregorian chants, appearing intertwined in the beginning of the 2. movement. And therefore the workalso may be considered as a tribute to the still living child-heretics, fighting against the global lunacy of grown-up, such as Eamon Burke, the Australian boy, continuing, independently, the work of Samantha. REMBERING CHILD was commissioned by St. Paul Chamber Ochestra and dedicated to Pincas Zuckerman, soloist at the premiere performance (Sept. 12, 1986). Per Nørgård.

Theodor W. Adornos Urteile uber Paul Hindemith haben die offentliche Diskussion um einen der bekanntesten deutschen Komponisten des 20. Jahrhunderts entscheidend gepragt. Ende der siebziger Jahre gab es so gut wie keine massgebliche Stimme, die der in der Textsammlung Ad vocem Hindemith formulierten Diagnose einer geduckt spiessigen, latent autoritatshorigen Musikantenmusik Triftiges entgegenzusetzen gehabt hatte. Die bereits wenige Jahre spater zogernd einsetzenden Bemuhungen um eine Rehabilitation des Hindemithschen Werkes klammerten Adornos Fundamentalkritik zumeist aus und versaumten - von wenigen Ausnahmen abgesehen - jene direkte Auseinandersetzung mit seinen Texten, die (mit einer Verspatung von fast 30 Jahren) im Mittelpunkt der vorliegenden Untersuchung steht.
