Sciarrino, Salvatore: Canzona di ringraziamento
Don't miss the solo music: a beautiful gratitude song for flute.
Ligeti, György: Piano Concerto
A cavalcade of instruments? After a few listens, you'll feel that all the sounds are in the right place.
Coates, Gloria: String Quartet No. 7
The organ and string quartet can intertwine in amazing harmony. Exceptional music.
Romitelli, Fausto: Flowing down too slow
There is nothing to add or take away from the title: "Flowing down too slow".
Johnston, Ben: String Quartet No.8
A milestone for the string quartet, with new harmonies.
Filidei, Francesco: Ballata No. 7
Sad and touching desert island music.
Berio, Luciano: Sequenza VI for viola
Unfortunately, compared to the violin, the viola is often neglected. That’s a pity.
Gadenstatter, Clemens: Staffel 1
Comic sense.
Gudmundsen-Holmgreen, Pelle: Frere Jacques
Avant-garde music inspired by neo-dadaist paintings.
Scelsi, Giacinto: Divertimento No.4
Scelsi's often remarkably strange (and therefore unique) music - performed with elegance and naturalness.
Feldman, Morton: Patterns in a Chromatic Field
Playing with musical memory, differentiation and repetition...
Hölszky, Adriana: Efeu und Lichtfeld
Pulsating sources of light. Amazing interaction of the huge organ and the small violin.
Ivičević, Mirela: Case White
Attack and fall.
Kagel, Mauricio: Tactil
Kagel’s experimental theater (yes, theater) piece. Innovative and creative use of the instrumentation.
Ligeti, György: Chamber Concerto
Entering into Ligeti‘s harder to follow music, which is, at the same time, a fantastic universe.
Mitterer, Wolfgang: inwendig losgelost, rasant
Modern baroque music with electronics in Listening Room 3. Needless to say more.
Henck, Herbert: Festeburger Fantasien
Centuries and ideals of beauty.
Nordgren, Pehr Henrik: Piano Concerto No. 3 for the Left Hand
Ritual music based on Japanese ghost stories... and a generous gesture.
Sciarrino, Salvatore: Quaderno di strada
The unique sound of the Italian avant-garde with a fantastic performance by bass-baritone Katzameier.
Saariaho, Kaija: Maan Varjot for Organ and Orchestra
Earth’s Shadows faithfully represents a less serene face of the world.
Sánchez-Verdú, José M.: Paisajes del Placer y de la Culpa
Landscapes of Pleasure and Blame. VERY special atmosphere.
Nørgård, Per: Borderlines
Different tonalities: the fantastic coexistence of well-tempered scale and microtones.
Buene, Eivind: Lessons in Darkness
A unique piece of music from 2017: fundamental lack of light or rather blackness. Your lessons?
