Jean-Féry Rebel has to be remembered for a moment, as the French-Baroque all-rounder is all too seldom heard. The pupil of Lully was first a violinist, later also a conductor and royal chamber composer. ›Les Éléments‹ begins with a future-oriented description of the year 1737 with a cluster-like description of »chaos«, marking the origin of the world. Ligeti's ›Atmosphères‹ goes one step further and finds a musical language to describe the current state of the world. In doing so, the composer dissolves the traditional structural and motivic-thematic work, whereby the music seems to float shapelessly in space. With ›I turned and saw everything wrong‹, Zimmermann completed his monumental last work just five days before his suicide in 1970. This ›Ecclesiastical Action‹ with texts from the Bible and Dostoyevsky, which is all too rarely found in the program, is an expression of his despair about the eternal suffering of people and, after the creation (Rebel) and the existence of the world (Ligeti), contains an impressive one Culminating in the depiction of their destruction (Zimmermann).
