The French-American composer, a student of Olivier Messiaen, combines tonal subtlety with conceptual rigor and a deep love for the organ in a unique way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">At the heart of the program is the large-scale organ concerto <em>Musique d'Hiver<\/em>, a work of visionary radicalism: without bar lines, without a common pulse, but full of inner tension and precisely controlled freedom. Like a stream flowing through space and time, this \u201cwinter music\u201d moves between orchestral impulses and delicate organ sounds \u2013 premiered in 1971 and still a reference work for experimental musical thinking today.<\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">In addition, the solo works <em>Musique de Jour<\/em> and <em>Le\u00e7ons du Petit Jour<\/em> will be performed, light-filled meditations on the beginnings of the day, birdsong, and the slow awakening of the world. Both pieces revolve around the note \u201cG\u201d \u2013 a quiet center from which Jolas creates lines, sounds, and utopias with the finest of touches. The recording is complemented by the <em>Trois \u00c9tudes Campanaires<\/em>, resonant bell studies that take on a new dimension on the organ of St. Antonius D\u00fcsseldorf-Oberkassel with its extraordinary percussion registers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\">The performer is the award-winning organist Angela Metzger, who brings Jolas' sound world to life with great sensitivity and technical precision. She recorded <em>Musique d\u2019Hiver<\/em> with the WDR Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Titus Engel<\/p>\n<p>This release is an invitation to listen, marvel, and pause in the first light of day.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1 CD<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":9989,"template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[26],"product_tag":[876],"class_list":{"0":"post-9292","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-zeitgenossische-musik","7":"product_tag-neuveroeffentlichungen","8":"desktop-align-left","9":"tablet-align-left","10":"mobile-align-left","12":"first","13":"instock","14":"taxable","15":"shipping-taxable","16":"purchasable","17":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Betsy Jolas: Works for Organ - NEOS Music<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Mit diesen Aufnahmen liegt erstmals eine umfassende Einspielung der Orgelwerke von Betsy Jolas vor \u2013 einer der eigenwilligsten und faszinierendsten Stimmen der Musik des 20. und 21.
