With Helmut Lachenmann and Peter E\u00f6tv\u00f6s, we can welcome two of the most incisive composers who have cruciallly shapened the music history of the 20th and 21st century. Lachenmann set very individual impulses, especially through systematic exploration of the instruments and innovative expansion of their playing techniques. In this way, the way music is created is included as well as, for example, timbre and volume. “TemA” \u2013 created in 1968 \u2013 is probably one of the first compositions in which breathing as an acoustically mediated, energetic process was a central theme. Entirely in the spirit of Karl Amadeus Hartmann, music here claims a socio-critical potential: \u201eSch\u00f6nheit als verweigerte Gewohnheit.\u201c [“Beauty as a denied habit”] (Helmut Lachenmann)
\nIn his works “Psy” for flute, violoncello and piano and “Two poems to Polly” (text by Lady Sarashina from the 11th century) for a “speaking cellist”, Peter E\u00f6tv\u00f6s also explores the field of tension between sound and language. His music has a language-analogue structure and draws from a rich fund of colours and moods. It is a special pleasure to meet Peter E\u00f6tv\u00f6s – one of the most renowned conductors and pianists – also as interpreter of his own compositions “Erdenklavier – Himmelklavier” and “Un taxi l’attend, mais Tch\u00e9khov pr\u00e9f\u00e8re aller \u00e0 pied”.
\nWith our new own ensemble hartmann21, we continue to feel committed to Hartmann’s intention to promote young, highly talented composers and performers. In this singularly composed programme we would like to introduce the Hungarian M\u00e1t\u00e9 Balogh and the Munich-based Swede Henrik Ajax, who in their newly created works refer to the two “light figures” of contemporary music, Lachenmann and E\u00f6tv\u00f6s, trace content-related references and reflect and condense the theme of “music and language” in their respective individual ways.<\/p>\n
