Composer, clarinettist and conductor Jörg Widmann is currently one of the most acclaimed names in the world of classical music. His shifting, richly varied and imaginative music is often associated with familiar classical and romantic composers, such as Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert and Brahms, but it is simultaneously unmistakably rooted in our era. His unique blend of tradition and innovation has made him one of the world’s most frequently performed contemporary composers.

This concert kicks off powerfully – Fanfare for 10 wind-players and percussion. In the following orchestral piece, Lied, Widmann ties musical threads back to Franz Schubert, whom he describes as a “musical genius”. 

Ad absurdum nearly approaches the absurdist limit of a virtuosic solo piece for trumpet, with a tempo so high from the beginning that it simply could not go any higher. 

Freie Stücke (Free Pieces) consists of ten cohesive parts, each one focused on a special sound phenomenon: pulse, noise, unanimity, overtones, and more. It is a fascinating review of music’s components and sonic possibilities. 

Zeitensprünge – Leaps in Time – is a study of various musical expressions, but of a completely different variety. It was composed for the 450-year anniversary of Staatskapelle Berlin in 2020 and consists of a musical journey through time and the orchestra’s history. The piece has 450 beats, each of which represents a year.

English

Tonsättaren, klarinettisten och dirigenten Jörg Widmann är en av den klassiska musikvärldens just nu mest uppmärksammade profiler. Hans mångskiftande, variationsrika och fantasifulla musik står ofta i förbindelse med kända klassiska och romantiska tonsättare som Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert och Brahms, men är samtidigt omisskännligt förankrad i vår tid. Hans unika mix av tradition och innovation har gjort honom till en av världens mest framförda nutida tonsättare.

Den här konserten inleds med en riktig konsertstartare – Fanfar för 10 blåsare och slagverk. I det följande orkesterstycket Lied knyter Widmann musikaliska trådar tillbaka till Franz Schubert, som han beskriver som ”ett melodiskt geni”. 

ad absurdum är ett intill det absurdas gräns virtuost solostycke för trumpet där tempot redan från början är så högt att det helt enkelt inte går att öka ytterligare. 

Freie Stücke består av tio sammanlänkade delar som var och en fokuserar på ett särskilt ljudfenomen: puls, brus, enstämmighet, övertoner, bland annat. En fascinerande genomgång av musikens alla beståndsdelar och klangmöjligheter. 

Även Zeitensprünge – tidssprång – en genomgång av olika musikaliska uttryck men av ett helt annat slag. Det skrevs till 450-årsjubileet av Staatskapelle Berlin 2020 och består av en musikalisk tidsresa i orkesterns historia. Stycket har 450 takter och varje takt representerar ett år.
