Philip Sparke a réalisé une scène d?hiver en pleine campagne. A Winter?s Tale s?ouvre avec une série d?accords soutenus joués par les bois et colorés par le timbre cristallin des cloches tandis qu?un saxophone alto chante une complainte crépusculaire. Un passage orchestral court mais dense prélude à l?exposition du thème principal. Les couleurs douces et vaporeuses enveloppent les champs et les forêts enneigés. L?orchestre reprend le thème tandis que l?on entend au loin un tintement de grelots annonçant le passage imminent d?une troïka. Une fois passée la musique s?apaise et le thème principal revient avant de laisser la place au motif d?ouverture qui vient conclure la trame musicale.

This is the original version of Winternacht for 7 instruments composed by Hans Abrahamsen in 1976-78. Programme Note: Winternacht was written in 1976-78 and the title was taken from a poem by the Austrian poet Georg Trakl. The four movements which are all very precise and dreamingly poetic are almost classical in terms of clarity and discipline in orchestration and form: hence the dedication of the third movement to Igor Stravinsky. However the music has a strong impressionistic quality as well: four introverted still lives of the velvety dark iceness of a silvery winter night (one can veritably sense the fairy-tale-likesleigh ride in the two outer movements).The second movement is dedicated to the eccentric lithographer M.C. Escher and the first and last movements are both dedicated to Georg Trakl. As in the well-known orchestral work Stratifications we can enjoy Abrahamsen's fascination with having several events occur simultaneously: a thoughtful as well as playful multilayered quality mirrors the poetic and mysterious worlds of painting literature nature and most important of all: music.Poul Ruders

25 Piano pieces. Par HELLER BARBARA. Each piece of 'Klangblumen' has its own special focus, such as a certain interval, a specific playing technique, a uniform rhythm, or a general tone colour. The instructions on playing technique and aesthetics at the beginning of the movement provide information on the interpretation of the individual pieces. Despite much interpretive and dynamic information of the composer and the editor, the pieces still provide enough possibilities to freely handle the musical text to one's personal musical mind. You are even free to experiment! A collection for lessons and concerts./ Répertoire / Piano
