About

Rocamadour, composed by Pablo Ortiz (b.1956) opens up an aesthetical enigma for the listener: the letter from La Maga (Rayuela, 1963) inspires an orchestral fantasy, abstract and virtuosic, stylistically akin to minimal music but strongly anchored in a disquieting, dark rhythmic obstinacy, close to Uruguayan candombe. La noche boca arriba, by Julio Viera (b.1943) is technically a melodrama: an orchestral composition that includes a narrative, meticulously rendered in the score. In our production, the text materializes in the voice of Lisandro Abadie, and Marcelo Nisinman is in charge of the subtle bandoneon part. The piece includes almost the totality of the original story. Viera’s colourful palette projects itself on every scene: the motorcycle on the damp Paris pavement, the accident, the repeated losses of consciousness at the hospital, the violent moves in the rainforest. Every instant is subtly and vividly described in an almost film-like language. Tercera Generación, by Marcelo Nisinman (b.1970) was inspired by a brief and powerful text, published in Último Round (1969). The piece is marked by a powerful rhythmic force. Nisinman writes without prejudice: one can sense Mahler’s stare hiding behind a dense tango-smoke.

Swiss orchestra Musique des Lumières (MdL) and Agudín devote thouroughly to the transmission of contemporary music. MdL was invited by Fondazione Cini Venezia to inagurate Coates’ Maze in honour of J.L. Borges. In 2015, MdL launched the Dürrenmatt Project with the première of Romulus der Grosse by A. Pflüger. The 3-year programme included premières by Sontòn-Caflisch, Pérez Ramirez, Gesseney. MdL and Agudín have recorded for NEOS Music, Oehms Classics, Doron Music, SRF 2 Kultur. Agudín and MdL are associated artists of IBS Classical.
