Listening Room 03

Continue here if you are ready to encounter VERY unfamiliar-sounding music.

More tracks cooming soon!

Bauckholt, Carola: Laufwerk

“Mechanical devices”: carefully building a coherent whole from essential parts.

Ligeti, György: Piano Concerto

A cavalcade of instruments? After a few listens, you'll feel that all the sounds are in the right place.

Romitelli, Fausto: Flowing down too slow

Nothing to add or remove from the title: "Flowing down too slow.".

Sciarrino, Salvatore: Canzona di ringraziamento

Don't miss the solo music: a beautiful gratitude song for the flute.

Buene, Eivind: Miniatures

A feeling of surrealism.

Romitelli, Fausto: An index of metals

The path to perceptual saturation and hypnosis.

Vivier, Claude: Zipangu

Ligeti himself recommended Vivier’s music to people’s attention in one of his interviews. No better reference.

Gander, Bernhard: Bourée bourée

Back to medieval French dance...

Larcher, Thomas: Böse Zellen

Transition to Listening Room 03 with Larcher’s intense sonic imagination and a virtuoso impact. Evil Cells...

Filidei, Francesco: Ballata No. 7

Sad and touching desert island music.

Berio, Luciano: Sequenza VI for viola

Unfortunately, compared to the violin, the viola is often neglected. That’s a pity.

Scelsi, Giacinto: Divertimento No.4

Scelsi's often remarkably strange (and therefore unique) music - performed with elegance and naturalness.

Feldman, Morton: Patterns in a Chromatic Field

Playing with musical memory, differentiation, and repetition...

Hölszky, Adriana: Efeu und Lichtfeld

Pulsating sources of light. The unique interaction of the huge organ and the small violin.

Ivičević, Mirela: Case White

Attack and fall.

Kagel, Mauricio: Tactil

Kagel’s experimental theater (yes, theater) piece. Innovative and creative use of the instrumentation.

Ligeti, György: Chamber Concerto

Entering into Ligeti‘s harder to follow music, which is, at the same time, a fantastic universe.

Mitterer, Wolfgang: inwendig losgelost, rasant

Modern baroque music with electronics in Listening Room 3. Needless to say more.

Henck, Herbert: Festeburger Fantasien

Centuries and ideals of beauty.

Nordgren, Pehr Henrik: Piano Concerto No. 3 for the Left Hand

Ritual music based on Japanese ghost stories... and a generous gesture.

Sciarrino, Salvatore: Quaderno di strada

The unique sound of the Italian avant-garde with a fantastic performance by bass-baritone Katzameier.

Saariaho, Kaija: Maan Varjot for Organ and Orchestra

Earth’s Shadows faithfully represent a less serene face of the world.

Sánchez-Verdú, José M.: Paisajes del Placer y de la Culpa

Landscapes of Pleasure and Blame. VERY special atmosphere.

Nørgård, Per: Borderlines

Different tonalities: the fantastic coexistence of well-tempered scale and microtones.

Buene, Eivind: Lessons in Darkness

A unique piece of music from 2017: fundamental lack of light or rather blackness. Your lessons?

Berio, Luciano: Sequenza II

Defying many stereotypes: exploring the timbral and expressive capabilities of the harp.

Haas, Georg Friedrich: Guitar Quartet

Guitar quartets are rare, and the tuned guitars make it even more memorable with free microtonality.

Penderecki, Krzysztof: Capriccio for Violin and Orchestra

Transition to Listening Room 4 with Penderecki's perfect sense of tranquillity and harassment.
