Ellen UgelvikAbout
One of the most well known composers
of his generation, George Crumb has developed his very own piano style over the
years – a sonic universe of limitless variety. One does not ‘just play’ Crumb,
the performer is also required to whistle, sing, shout and whisper in numerous
clearly defined ways. Ellen Ugelvik has studied the Makrokosmos in detail with
Crumb himself, enabling her to investigate further the ideas and ideals behind
various parameters in the score. The liner notes for the release are written by
“While composing Makrokosmos, I was aware of certain recurrent haunting images. At times quite vivid, at times vague and almost subliminal, these images seemed to coalesce around the following several ideas (given in no logical sequence, since there is none): the ‘magical properties’ of music; the problem of the origin of evil’ the ‘timelessness’ of time; a sense of the profound ironies of life so beautifully expressed in the music of Mozart and Mahler.” – George Crumb
Ellen Ugelvik makes her debut
