It is often said that Elliott Carter is the most European of all American composers. Without a doubt, the New York-born composer is one of the most interesting personalities of the New Music scene in the United States. His wide-ranging compositional output is complex, filled with philosophical and poetic allusions that range from orchestral and chamber music, solo instrumental and vocal pieces to his first opera, which he first wrote at the age of 90. He wrote his compositions from his head, without using any instruments, and many of his works were only heard at the premiere.

Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra & Daniel Harding – Mahler: Symphony No. 5 (2018)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/48 kHz | Time – 01:13:21 minutes | 714 MB | Genre: Classical
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © harmonia mundi
As the last completed symphony that Mahler wrote, the Ninth has often been heard by audiences as the composer’s swan song: a nostalgic, moving farewell from a composer conscious of his own mortality. This interpretation is of course easily justifiable, as etched into the musical fabric of the symphony are references to the tragedies that befell the composer in the years before his death. Furthermore, it is wholly plausible that for a man as melodramatic as Mahler, the idea of a symphony that centres around themes of loss and finality would surely have been an appealing prospect.

Along with Vivaldi’s Seasons or Beethoven’s Fifth, Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos belong to those works that are so well-known that we risk taking them for granted. In order to (re-)discover the special qualities that can inspire us today, in 2001 Thomas Dausgaard and the Swedish Chamber Orchestra decided to contact six contemporary composers, asking each of them to compose a companion piece to one of the concertos. Seventeen years later, in 2018, it was time to present the result, with a performance at the BBC Proms of all the works – new and old.

Having begun their collaboration in 1997, the Swedish Chamber Orchestra and its conductor laureate Thomas Dausgaard have developed an unusually tight partnership. Nowhere is this demonstrated more clearly than in their cycles of the symphonies of Schumann, Schubert and, most recently, Brahms – performances which have been characterized by reviewers as variously ‘fresh’, ‘vivid’, ‘transparent’ and ‘invigorating’.

The material of the Epic of Gilgamesh is ancient. The first texts in Sumerian date from the early 2nd millennium BC. The text handed down in cuneiform on clay tablets was reconstructed from many tablet fragments and is still not completely known. At the center of the epic’s plot is Gilgamesh, the king of Uruk, who roams the world in search of eternal life. He meets Uta-napischti, who tells him the story of the deluge. Uta-napishti is the Babylonian equivalent of the biblical Noah. The Heidelberg Assyriologist Prof. Dr. Stefan M. Maul translated the mighty epic into German. The phonetically originally sung text and this translation form the basis of Enjott Schneider’s 15-movement oratorio ABUBU.

Large industrial complexes, built of solid brick tell the story of industrialization of 19th century Leipzig. Where spinning wheels once rattled, chimneys smoked and thousands of workers carried out their daily work, new life has moved in over the past few years. Today, former factories are home to artists’ studios, galleries and manufactories. The term “industrial culture” is taken literally here.

Both Ligeti and Heppener belong to the generation born in the 1920s which formed the basis for the post-war avant-garde. ‘Lux Aeterna’, used by Stanley Kubrick in his film ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’, marked the installation of a new musical language. The later ‘Sonata for solo viola’ simultaneously evokes the polyphony of the 14th century and certain varieties of ethnic music. ‘Im Gestein’, a cycle of lieder to poems by Paul Celan which won Heppener the Matthijs Vermeulen Prize in 1993, was here recorded for the first time in 2008.
