Composing in times of the pandemic: Mark Simpson’s uncommonly colour-intense Violin Concerto for Nicola Benedetti is marked by its genesis. The opening lament was inspired by it, but also the tarantella finale with its wild discharge of the energies pent up during the lockdowns. Claude Vivier, in turn, invented sounds that might seem even more foreign. His music is reminiscent of folklore from an imaginary Asian country, or even – as the title »Orion« suggests – another planet. Meanwhile, György Ligeti’s »Atmosphères« might be describing an image of different-coloured clouds: while inward movement is hardly discernible, as a whole they shift shapes, intermingling, mixing, discolouring. »Clocks and Clouds«, on the other hand, is about transitions between such sound clouds and precisely ticking rhythms, between complex mechanics and a dreamlike-fantastical quality.
Das Konzert wird von WDR 3 live übertragen und kann im Anschluss für 30 Tage auf wdr3.de nachgehört werden.
