quintett.wienAbout
There is a gentle irony to the fact that a seventy year-old composer could write a work entitled ‘Youth’. However, though Leoš Janácek may have been old in physical terms when he composed Mládí in 1924, one only has to listen to a few bars of this inventive and invigorating score to appreciate that mentally he was anything but elderly. The work comes from the astonishingly productive last few years of Janáèek’s life, a period that saw the composition of a succession of masterpieces, including Sinfonietta, the Glagolitic Mass and his last two operas, The Makropulos Affair and From the House of the Dead.
The Austrian composer, Werner Pirchner (1940-2001) was born in Hall in the Austrian Tyrol. Jazz played a significant part in his career, both as a performer and composer. He played the vibraphone and marimba and was self-taught on both instruments, and also as a composer. His Streichquartett für Bläserquintett has its origin in music that Pirchner composed in 1975 for a film about the Tyrol, which took the form of a series of variations on a Tyrolean slave song. A few years later he arranged the music for wind quintet and at the same time he added three further movements, one of which was written in memory of Heinrich Heine.
