Oráculo Donaueschingen 2016

Continuamos nuestro repaso estival a las últimas ediciones discográficas que de los festivales de referencia en el ámbito de la nueva música en Alemania hemos recibido. Si hace siete days conocíamos el doble compacto que recogía algunos de los platos fuertes escuchados en las Wittener Tage für Neue Kammermusik del año 2017, hoy retrocedemos un año, pues al 2016 nos remite la selección por NEOS realizedizada de los estrenos efectuados en el oráculo de las Donaueschinger Musiktage: una edición (como ya lo fuera la del 2015) más escueta de lo habitual en NEOS, pues tan sólo incluye dos SACDs, si bien la selección de partituras (en sus respectivos estrenos) parece muy acertada, además de estar presentada con la habitual excelencia en cuanto a edicion y calidad de sonido del sello muniqués.

La primera partitura, por tanto, de tan juicioso compendio es Skin (2015-16), página para soprano y trece instrumentos de una de las compositoras más importantes del siglo XXI, la británica Rebecca Saunders (Londres, 1967). [...]

August 2018

The Donaueschinger Music Days 2016 are as diverse as ever, last time marked by director Armin Köhler, who died in 2014. Rebecca Saunders' “Skin” is a fascinatingly intangible web of language and sound inspired by Beckett and Joyce, in which Juliet Fraser feels her way forward with purring gutural sounds. Bernhard Gander's orchestral art-rock of "Cold Cadaver with Thirteen Scary Scars" begins as crazy techno polka and culminates in striking Beethoven quotes. Martin Smolka's "a yell within misprints" comes across like a Peking Opera nightmare, with screaming woodwinds and glissanding gongs replaced by chorale-like piano chords and sparse string textures. Georg Friedrich Haas' concerto for trombone and orchestra not only opens like “Rheingold”, but also irritates overall with state-supporting, romantic triads.
