»I write music for people to listen to, not as a learned exercise,« remarked Hungarian composer Peter Eötvös when speaking about himself and his music. And that’s something that can be heard in the best sense of the word: his operas and instrumental works boast catchy melodies and a sensuous sound, and meet with an enthusiastic reception not only in the contemporary music scene.

Although Eötvös once worked together with famous colleagues like Stockhausen and Boulez, he never joined a particular musical school or trend, preferring to develop his own individual and authentic style. He seeks and finds direct contact with audiences as a conductor, too: for the big portrait concert that opens the Greatest Hits festival, he takes the rostrum in person.

English

»Ich schreibe für das Publikum, nicht für die Schublade«, sagt der ungarische Komponist Peter Eötvös über sich und seine Musik. Und das hört man – im allerbesten Sinne. Denn seine Opern und Instrumentalwerke sind so eingängig wie klangsinnlich und sorgen auch außerhalb der Neue-Musik- Szene für Begeisterung.

Obwohl Eötvös einst mit berühmten Kollegen wie Stockhausen und Boulez zusammenarbeitete, hat er sich nie einer musikalischen Schule oder Strömung angeschlossen, sondern setzt auf eine individuelle, authentische Klangsprache. Den direkten Zugang zum Publikum sucht und findet er auch als Dirigent, weshalb er bei seinem großen Portraitkonzert zur Eröffnung von Greatest Hits selbst ans Pult tritt.
