Now, a more recent recording from 2018. Two top-class personalities joined forces to perform and record Viennese songs from the turn of the century: the soprano and conductor Barbara Hannigan and the legendary pianist and conductor Reinbert de Leeuw, who died in 2020 after a long illness.

Very grumpy now. Had a rehearsal that was moved (by the violinists) to a venue that was twice as far away, and not comfortable, and they (the two violinists) had unilaterally decided not to use the supplied edition of the music (= different bowings and articulations and no bar numbers, making rehearsing more difficult). And they also seemed not to be very familiar with one of the pieces. Where they did have musical views, they were almost diametrically opposed to mine.
I had been looking forward to this. Sigh.

Iannis Xenakis — sound as architecture, energy, and myth.
Syrmos (1959): A raw, electrifying string piece where glissandi collide and swarm — music as pure sonic physics.
Polytope (1970s): Xenakis’s legendary light-and-sound environments — architecture, lasers, and electronic sound fused into immersive, futuristic ritual spaces.
Medea (1967/68): Fierce, primal, and ritualistic — Xenakis channels ancient tragedy into explosive rhythms and elemental vocal writing.

Mathis der Maler — Paul Hindemith’s powerful symphony about the role of the artist in times of crisis. Inspired by the painter Grünewald and his struggle between artistic calling and political oppression, the work becomes a musical statement about integrity, moral courage, and the responsibility of art.
Luminous, turbulent, and deeply human — a symphony about creating beauty when the world turns dark.

Entre ópera y café: Domenico Barbaja
Ambicioso, carismático, analfabeto, pero con un don inusual para los negocios. Domenico Barbaja fue el empresario italiano más célebre de principios del siglo XIX y uno de los personajes más intrigantes que dominaron el imperio operístico de la época.

SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER
Ligeti’s String Quartets Nos. 1 & 2
No. 1 “Métamorphoses nocturnes” (1953–54): Energetic, restless, Bartók-inspired — a whirlwind of shifting motifs and nighttime tension.
No. 2 (1968): Radically modern — whispering textures, sudden bursts, and Ligeti’s unmistakable otherworldly sound.
Together, they show his leap from sharp-edged modernism to the visionary style that defined his later music.

Le Banquet Céleste and Damien Guillon present an elegant and heartfelt program of Bach cantatas. With clear, refined playing and expressive singing, the ensemble brings out the beauty and emotion of these sacred works. Guillon's gentle, thoughtful direction allows each cantata to shine, offering a moving and intimate experience of Bach's music.
Pelleas und Melisande op. 5 — Arnold Schoenberg’s dark, sweeping symphonic poem from 1902–03. Strongly influenced by Wagner, the work pushes late-Romantic harmony to its limits, weaving dense chromatic lines and intense emotional colors. Based on Maeterlinck’s symbolist drama, it marks Schoenberg’s bold step toward a new musical language — dramatic, lush, and on the brink of modernism.
How was Schoenberg as a father? https://youtube.com/shorts/PmYGrHScxgU?si=0N5v9RIjrfwE18xw

今日はニコラウス・アーノンクールの誕生日。1929年生まれ。あと4年で生誕100年か。
この辺の世代がピリオド楽器を使った演奏のパイオニアなのよね。今はすっかり定着して現代の楽器での演奏にも影響を及ぼす存在になったけれど、アーノンクールやブリュッヘン辺りの世代の活動がなかったらこうはなって来なかった。
Quatuor pour la fin du temps (Quartet for the End of Time) — Olivier Messiaen’s haunting 1941 masterpiece, composed and premiered in a WWII prison camp. Inspired by the Book of Revelation, its eight movements blend spirituality, hope, and timeless beauty. A powerful reminder of resilience and the transcendence of music beyond human suffering.
