Working together with director Nicolas Stemann, Manoury composed the piece for Cologne’s Gürzenich Orchestra as a completely new kind of concert experience, a Gesamtkunstwerk combining theatre, oratorio, live electronics, and spatial composition. Lab.Oratorium was conceived as an independent work, but it also marks the high point and conclusion of a trilogy of monumental spatial works for orchestra including the prize-winning compositions In Situ and Ring.
Lab.Oratorium is Manoury’s moving artistic response to one of the worst humanitarian catastrophes of our time: the drowning deaths of countless refugees in the Mediterranean Sea. The idea of a modern “Odyssey” is made heartbreakingly clear through conversations with members of maritime rescue teams. Sabine Grenard (SOS Méditerranée) collected eyewitness reports that were integrated into the work.
This WERGO recording is the premiere recording of a stirring work whose expressivity never succumbs to sentimentality.
