Pierre Boulez SaalSchubert: String Quartet in C minor, D 703, ‘Quartettsatz’Mozart: Clarinet Quintet in A major, KV 581 Berg: Four Pieces for clarinet and piano, op.5 Widmann: Labyrinth IV, for soprano and ensemble Sarah Aristidou (soprano) Jörg Widmann (clarinet) Staatskapelle Berlin String Quartet (Wolfram Brandl, Krzysztof Specjal (violins), Yulia Deyneka (viola), Claudius Popp (cello)) Boulez Ensemble Daniel Barenboim (piano, conductor)The new season at the Pierre Boulez Saal could hardly have opened in more promising fashion, whether strictly musical or in the hope imparted for the year to come. I was there at its predecessor’s premature close in March; so too was Daniel Barenboim, completing just in time his series of the Beethoven violin sonatas with Pinchas Zukerman. Here we heard Barenboim as pianist and conductor, but as part of a greater ensemble, of which Jörg Widmann was at least as prominent a member. The first piece featured neither Barenboim nor […]

PhilharmonieHaydn: Symphony no.59 in A major, ‘Fire’ Bartók: Piano Concerto no.3, Sz 119 Bartók: Dance Suite, Sz 77 Varèse: Arcana (revised version, 1960) Varèse: Poème électronique; Ionisation; Density 21.5; Octandre; Intégrales; Hyperprism; Ionisation; Octandre; Offrandes Pierre-Laurent Aimard (piano) Sarah Aristidou (soprano) Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra Scholars of the Karajan Academy François-Xavier Roth (conductor) Two Berlin Philharmonic concerts in a single evening: such is the cultural desert we know as Berlin.

In the first movement, marked assez lent, an oboe calls, answered by clarinet, both pitched closely so their sounds seem to vibrate off each other. This vibration becomes even more marked in the second movement, marked Très vif et nerveux, the dichotomy developed still further in the last movement marked Grave-Animé et jubilatoire. Nothing primitive in this tightly orchestration. Sarah Aristidou was the soloist in Offrandes from 1921, soon after the groundbreaking Amériques. The instrumentaion is relatively conventional, but the vocal lines are freer and more modern, pitched highlike the instruments the voice imitates. The texts come from Vicente Huidbrodo and José Juan Tablada.
