For young classical audiences the sound is the message
[…] listen to: preferably film music or any mainstream work that sounds like film music. Music cannot speak for itself, it has to be 'explained' by a presenter reciting chunks from a children's encyclopaedia of music, a travesty that is now creeping by osmosis into the concert hall. And, above all, music cannot contain any sounds that are not comforting. So no primetime for Xenakis' gamma rhythm-rich Pléïades. In my header image Pléïades is seen being performed by Les Percussions de Strasbourg - video via this link. There are two steps to solving a problem. The first step is to accurately identify and understand the problem. The second step is to create a solution. For several decades in its search for a new younger audience classical music has been trying to solve the wrong problem. Putting the music through a programmatic blender to produce the aural equivalent of baby food is not the solution. New […]

[…] gradual changes, some counterpoint and dissonance, strong pulsating effect. The work has impact and as far as I could apprehend was quite well done under the expert hands of Santostefano. Architect, mathematician and composer, Yannis Xenakis (1922-2006) was a controversial creator who based his music on very complex mathematics-inspired schemes. In 1981 Les Percussions de Strasbourg premièred "Pléïades" for the Mozarteum at the Coliseo, and I was vividly impressed. The score had been commissioned by the Opéra du Rhin for those six brilliant players. Now Colón Contemporáneo offered it with the Percussion Group of The Hague, quite cosmopolitan: two Dutch, two Mexican, one Spanish, one Japanese (the only woman). […]

[…] were all formed either at Munich or Berlin, except Wenzell, who studied at the Odense Carl Nielsen Academy. As the biography of the group says, they play almost a hundred instruments that weigh altogether five Tons; we didn´t see quite so many at the Colón but it was an impressive and enormously varied array. The Mozarteum has been responsible for previous visits of percussion groups: twice Les Percussions de Strasbourg and once Taiko, the enormous Japanese drums. To those excellent ensembles the Mozarteum´s history adds the Lin Biao, fully their equal. The programme I heard was a mixture of relatively recent music plus an arrangement of ragtimes and a botched Vivaldi arrangement (the only bad thing). Two of the composers come from the group: Bauer´s 9-minute "Seven seas", for the whole ensemble; and Jungk´s […]
