Daniel KawkaAbout
This CD presents works from his late period, among them 'Au plus haut des cieux' - a setting of texts by Georges Bataille - which is emblematic of these compositions. The deeply spiritual music recorded here echoes words to be found in Denisov’s personal otebooks: 'Before the face of the Night, I am alone and powerless'.
Denisov left two symphonies for full orchestra and two chamber symphonies, in addition to a number of concertos, the last two for flute, harp and orchestra and for flute, clarinet and orchestra respectively. His chamber music includes duo sonatas, trios, string quartets and quintets, in addition to a variety of music for other ensembles, and for solo piano (much of it recorded for Bis).
The Ensemble Orchestral Contemporain is an instrumental ensemble with a nucleus of 19 musicians which can expand to orchestral dimensions as necessary. It was founded in 1992 by its current music director Daniel Kawka.
