Jorg WidmannAbout
This first edition in the series features a bridging work that is not just the obligatory solo concerto such as one might expect in a concert programme, but a work in a genre popular with Romantic composers such as Schumann and Weber, namely a Konzertstück or “concert piece”. Furthermore, Orfeo is delighted to be able to present not just a first-class soloist here, but also a work written especially for him by the artistic director of the project, namely Jörg Widmann’s ad absurdum. It takes a masterly instrumentalist to divine and explore the truly transcendental possibilities and musical intelligence that this music presents. Sergei Nakariakov’s mastery of circular breathing is employed here in particular, and typical of Jörg Widmann’s alert creative spirit that he makes use of these unique opportunities with a dash of Romantic irony, heightening them to the point of absurdity – as the title suggests.
