The recordings for Les Consolations were made in November 2015 with the Radio-Sinfonieorchester Stuttgart and the SWR Vocal Ensemble Stuttgart conducted by Peter Rundel, who was already familiar with Lachenmann's playing techniques from previous collaborations. Out of the material of about 10 hours' rehearsal time, we have cut three films (subtitled in English) of partial rehearsals (strings / winds / percussion, harp, piano), in which Helmut Lachenmann, together with the conductor, explains the piece's playing techniques and peculiarities. Unfortunately, we were not able to attend the partial rehearsals with the SWR Vocal Ensemble, so this was not filmed. (Wiebke Popel)

In 2015/16 I travelled across Europe with cameraman Michael Zimmer to document a total of nine orchestral rehearsals of and with [meaning rehearsals of music by HL, conducted by HL? OR?] Helmut Lachenmann in the course of Lachenmann Perspectives, a project of the Musik der Jahrhunderte. This DVD series is the filmic result of these journeys.

An ideal concert opener, Crescent Moonwill fill your ears with joy and happiness!

Het jaar 2011... Voor Japan een jaar van tragedie en verdriet. Maar net zoals de maan iedere nacht weer opkomt en licht in de duisternis brengt, zal ook Japan weer herrijzen en ooit het licht weer zien. Muziek kan daarbij een rolspelen en brengt ons vreugde en geluk. Met Crescent Moon benadrukt Jan Van der Roost de kracht ervan. Muziek is van een universele schoonheid en nodigt uit - ongeacht ras, cultuur of geloof - te genieten. Prachtig!

Das Stück beginnt langsam im mittleren Register, wird aber allmählich heller und strahlender - so wie der aufgehende Mondden Nachthimmel erhellt. Nach dieser eher majestätischen Einleitung tritt ein virtuoses Allegro hervor, das technische Finessen in allen Registern zum Vorschein bringt. Schlie�lich gipfelt das Stück in einer Atmosphäre der Freude und des Optimismus.

Crescent Moon é un'ouverture festiva composta da Jan Van der Roost su incarico di una banda giapponese. Il brano inizia in modo solenne nel registro medio per poi divenire gradualmente più intenso, quasi a simboleggiare la lunache, alzandosi in cielo, riesce a irradiare una forte luce sulla terra. Dopo un'introduzione maestosa, appare un virtuoso allegro che richiede doti tecniche in tutti i registri. Il finale porta a una conclusione di carattere gioioso eottimista.
