Heinz Holliger: Scardanelli-Zyklus at Paris Philharmonic
Αργή βραδιά classical
221 Av. Jean Jaurès au 6e étage, 75019 Paris, France
Scardanelli is one of the pseudonyms Friedrich Hölderlin used while confined in his Tübingen tower after being declared insane. These otherworldly poems inspired Heinz Holliger to create a monumental cycle. Composed between 1975 and 1993, Scardanelli-Zyklus is a collection of pieces for various ensembles, with or without voices, forming three cycles of four seasons. The work captures a specific dreamlike sonority, blending instrumental music with Hölderlin's distant, fragile verses to create a masterpiece that ranges from minimalist purity to intense emotion.
