Ensemble HorizonteAbout
Georg Trakl's poetry is characterised by imagery which at first seems paradoxical. The piece spektral attempts to make sense of "purple laughter" and "blue moments" in eleven stations. Mittmann approaches text excerpts with various instrumentations ranging from solo to large ensemble, interpreted with great sensitivity for timbral nuances by Ensemble Horizonte.
Bilder des Südens ("Images of the South") refers to impressions from Paul Klee's travels around the Mediterranean. Mittmann's composition goes far beyond being just a musical equivalent of the paintings. Everyday noises are atmospherically condensed and become art quite organically, and a Mediterranean light-heartedness resounds over everything.
Fragile Harmonie deals with elemental forces of chords that break through here and there in Beethoven's symphonic works - including an extended, albeit tonally distorted quotation from the iconic Fifth. While Sieben Strophen Heimat ("Seven Stanzas of Home") turns to great poetry to explore what it means to lose your homeland, Gesten im Schwung ("Gestures with Momentum") is inspired by the abstract painting of Art Informel. Great art that is deeply moving in its musical approach.
