durée : 00:06:18 - Classic & Co - par : Anna Sigalevitch - Ce matin, Marina Chiche nous fait entendre la musique d'un des plus grands compositeurs du XXe siècle — dont on fête cette année le centième anniversaire de la naissance. Bienvenue dans l'univers du compositeur hongrois Gyorgy Ligeti

Par ses choix esthétiques, par son ouverture musicale, par son jeu reconnaissable entre tous, le saxophoniste Emile Parisien s'est révélé dès le début des années 2000 comme une des grandes personnalités actuelles du jazz français. Il a intégré quelques années plus tôt, en 1993, la première promotion de la classe de jazz du collège de Marciac, où il a croisé quelques personnalités qui resteront des amis tout au long de son parcours, comme la chanteuse Leïla Martial, qu'il accompagne parfois comme sideman. On l'a vu très jeune sur la scène du festival de Marciac, notamment au côté de Wynton Marsalis. Mais Emile Parisien a également étudié la musique au conservatoire de Toulouse, où il s'est confronté aux répertoires classique et contemporain. Ses nombreuses collaborations et ses formations lui font explorer différentes facettes du jazz. Sans rejeter l'histoire, Emile Parisien adopte un regard résolument moderne et revendique un jazz de création. Émile Parisien rencontre Guillaume Kosmicki à l'occasion de deux projets d'actualités : Métanuits avec Roberto Negro autour du premier quatuor de Gyorgy Ligeti, dont l'enregistrement sortira le 31 mai 2023 chez Act, et le nouvel album Les égarés avec Vincent Segal, Ballaké Sissoko et Vincent Peirani, paru le 31 mars 2023 chez NØ FØRMAT.Hébergé par Ausha.

Wolfgang Marx's I Don't Belong Anywhere: Gyorgy Ligeti At 100 (Brepols Publishers, 2022) commemorates the centenary of Gyorgy Ligeti's birth. The volume consists of twelve contributions that consists of new investigations of many aspects of Legeti's career.  2023 marks the centenary of Ligeti's birth, an appropriate moment to take stock of the relevance this composer has in the contemporary world, to assess where he "belongs" today and how our views of his uvre and our understanding of his position in musical and cultural history have evolved. What do Ligeti and his music have to say to us in our post-postmodernist age? Why do his works still fascinate us so much? This book offers new readings of core compositions such as "Aventures", "Lontano", "Le Grand Macabre", the "Holderlin Fantasies" and "Galamb borong". It also reassesses the context and reception of Ligeti's works, including the influence of Romanian music (not least in his childhood), musical life in Hungary between 1945 and 1956, the ways in which his thinking was influenced by his experience of different soundscapes, yet also the surprisingly widespread use of his music in film and TV (beyond the usual suspect). Finally it presents new sources discovered or made available only recently: letters exchanged between Ligeti and Aliute Mecys in 1972, the correspondence between the composer and his publisher Schott, and an extended BBC interview from 1997.

Greetings! If you told me, a couple of weeks ago, that during the first set I'd segue from Gyorgy Ligeti to Robert Fripp based on a similar "riff", I'd have gone, "Huh?", but when I heard the opening notes from Ligeti's "Continuum", it immediately made me run for my copy of Fripp's "Exposure".  Check it out, you'll understand.

Divaga i deixa't sorprendre. El moment

Award-winning pianist talks her career as a classical performer specialized in contemporary repertoire and her many collaborations with John Williams, including her solos on Munich and The Adventures of Tintin, and the recent premiere of ‘Prelude and Scherzo' for Piano and Orchestra Hosted by Maurizio Caschetto Pianist Gloria Cheng belongs in the category of instrumentalists who are true favourites of John Williams to the point of being even an inspiration for the composer. One of the most acclaimed musicians of his generation and an advocate of the contemporary repertoire and new-music, Gloria Cheng performed as pianist for John Williams in many film scores since the mid-2000s and has been spotlighted as soloist on such scores as Munich (2005), The Adventures of Tintin (2011) and War Horse (2011). She also performed on other Williams' scores including The BFG, The Post, and the Star Wars sequel trilogy. In addition to the film work, Cheng also had the unique honour of performing Williams' rare piano compositions for the concert hall: the 4-movement Conversations for solo piano (written and dedicated to her between 2013 and 2014), and the Prelude and Scherzo for piano and orchestra, which premiered in Barcelona in 2021 with the Orquesta Sinfónica del Vallès under Marc Timón, and later for its American premiere with the Albany Symphony Orchestra conducted by David Alan Miller. Gloria Cheng is one of the world's leading interpreters of piano works by major composers and a true advocate for new music, establishing fruitful partnerships with such contemporary music icons as Gyorgy Ligeti, Pierre Boulez, Esa-Pekka Salonen, Terry Riley, Thomas Adès and Steven Stucky. Gloria Cheng also works frequently as pianist and keyboardist for film scores and has performed on soundtracks by by such composers as Randy Newman, James Horner, Michael Giacchino. In 2005, she began a fruitful association with John Williams that continues until this day. In this conversation, Gloria talks about her career as a classical performer and her path that led to perform as pianist for film scores; she recollectes her first experience playing for John Williams on Munich, the challenges of playing the solo on Tintin and her views on the Maestro's style when writing for piano, reflecting upon her experiences playing Conversations and the Prelude and Scherzo.

The eternal light of a mystic rose, featuring music by Crag Padilla, Marvin Allen, Gyorgy Ligeti and Brian Eno.

Irretrievable Indebtedness. Journalists have worked to protect our politicians. They're complicit in what politicians have done producing the largest debt in American history. A debt that will never be paid back. And it's resulted in the American people distrusting their government. Distrust turning to anger and sabotage. It's coming because our government has produced a climate of irretrievable indebtedness and it's made us more dangerous. Our future is a certainty because we're a debtor country, our future guaranteed. The calamity that is our lives before our government's default. MUSIC Hans Zimmer, Leonard Bernstein, Gyorgy Ligeti

Shame, shame, shame. This country isn't a democracy, it's a plutocracy. You never see a politician sitting with the people in traffic court. Most people in the U.S. congress are multi millionaires. They aren't working for the people, they're working for the powerful corporations. While there was unprecedented suffering in this country the politicians failed to help the people. There's a reason why politicians need police protection and it's because this country is bankrupt in lots of ways. The politicians that live in gated communities aren't safe. MUSIC Massive Attack, Gyorgy Ligeti, Igor Stravinsky, Johann Johannsson

The propagandists. I'm an artist and I appreciate beautiful things like George Bingham's 1846 painting The Jolly Flatboatmen. You'll probably never see anything like that in this country again. You'll just hear and see spin by propagandists. You haven't the freedom that painting shows. It takes a lot of government agencies to watch over the people in this country. Politics is a self serving profession. Lets not be silly about this, you're taking the fall. It won't just be a dark winter, it could be years. MUSIC Johann Strauss, Gyorgy Ligeti, Alex North, John Barry

Lee and Daniel are back for the first episode of a three episode sci-fi break before moving on to continue their sex comedy series they started last year. Since they'll be jumping right back into tits and other adult low brow content, they decided to get really damn high brow and look at what is considered one of the greatest films ever made... and it's not-so-loved sequel. In this episode they look at Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece "2001: A Space Odyssey" from 1968, and then Peter Hyams' 1984 sequel "2010: The Year We Make Contact". A lot of the conversation revolves around comparing the books to the films; Lee and Daniel's personal connections to the films and their source material; how the sequel stacks up to the original film; and how dated these films feel in the post 2010 world of today. There is no pretense here about covering every aspect of the films, as there's already been far too much written and said about just the production of "2001" alone. Lee and Daniel do try to touch on every aspect of both films to some degree, but the conversation is far more casual than it is scholarly.

As part of the BBC's Classical Voice season, Michael Berkeley's guest is singer Alison Goldfrapp. Alison Goldfrapp burst onto the music scene fifteen years ago, as lead singer in the duo Goldfrapp with the debut album Felt Mountain. Rock critics reached for adjectives such as 'lush', 'symphonic', 'epic'. Since Felt Mountain there have been five more hit albums, moving across pop, dance, electronic music - but each featuring the same extraordinary voice. Alongside the six gold albums, Goldfrapp also composed the soundtrack for the John Lennon film, Nowhere Boy, and the music for the recent Medea, starring Helen McCrory, at the National Theatre. In Private Passions, Alison Goldfrapp talks to Michael Berkeley about finding her voice, and about the childhood that inspired her. Her father ('a closet hippy') used to take all six children out into the Hampshire woods, and make them sit still and listen, for hours; when there was a full moon he would drive them to the sea, for a night swim. The first time Goldfrapp heard her own voice soar was as a schoolgirl at the Alton Convent School in Hampshire, and encouraged by the nuns, she sang higher and higher until she felt a kind of 'buzzing' in her head: an unforgettable experience. Goldfrapp chooses music which features a choir of extraordinary women's voices, the Bulgarian State Radio female choir, and Jessye Norman singing Fruhling from Strauss's Four Last Songs. She also chooses Atmospheres by Gyorgy Ligeti - music she finds very frightening - and celebrates both Mahler, and Ennio Morricone's film music, especially his score to an erotic thriller from 1969, Dirty Angels. And she reveals the music her partner Lisa Gunning sends her to listen to when they're apart. Produced by Elizabeth Burke A Loftus Production for BBC Radio 3.

An upright piano may not seem like the desired tool of a keyboard purist but Jenny Lin needed little rationalization for playing Igor Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite on the upright in the WQXR Café. Stravinsky himself was said to compose not at a concert grand, but "at a tacky-sounding and usually out-of-tune upright piano that has been muted and dampened with felt,” according to a onetime description by his wife, Vera Stravinsky. What’s more, Stravinsky’s teacher, Rimsky-Korsakov, advocated using uprights in orchestra works, arguing for their tinny, delicate sounds over thick, chordal opulence. The instrument may have also underscored the Russian folk sounds that characterize many of Stravinsky's early works. The Taiwan-born, New York-based Lin also plays Stravinsky on the big grands, something she has been doing a lot lately. Her newest album is a collection of a dozen of the composer's solo piano works, and while many of them aren’t so well known – perhaps lacking the surging passions or flamboyant calisthenics employed by other Russian composers – she believes they have much to admire and enjoy. "We really should know more about Stravinsky as a piano music composer because he composed a lot of the orchestra music on piano, and he was a very good pianist himself,” said Lin. Along with original solo piano pieces like the Sonata and the Serenade, there are some finger-twisting arrangements, notably Guido Agosti’s transcription of the Firebird Suite. Here Lin plays work’s the Danse infernale: Lin discovered Agosti’s Firebird transcription while studying in Italy as a teenager and that got her hooked on Stravinsky's work. “He's clever as a composer,” she noted. “He knows what gets an audience and can trigger the adrenaline.” While Lin’s concert repertoire includes the hefty concertos of Beethoven and Rachmaninoff, her discography tells of a more eclectic sensibility, spanning "InsomniMania," a collection of pieces inspired by nighttime dreams and anxieties, and "The Eleventh Finger,” devoted to complex modernists like Gyorgy Ligeti, Elliott Sharp and others. In the WQXR Café she also performed a selection from "Get Happy: Virtuoso Show Tunes for Piano.” The 2012 album featured arrangements of Broadway songs by such noted pianist-composers as André Previn, Stephen Hough, Marc-André Hamelin and Alexis Weissenberg. “One should not take these pieces very lightly,” said Lin. “I have to say, I thought that doing the Broadway arrangement project would easy because of the tunes but it was the hardest thing I’ve had to do, because every pianist just took the tune and went off with it.” Below is Lin’s performance of Gershwin’s Embraceable You, in an arrangement by the late Earl Wild: Video: Amy Pearl; Sound: Edward Haber; Text & Production: Brian Wise; Interview: Jeff Spurgeon
