8. Sinfoniekonzert: lebensreise: Concert Various

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).

English

Jean-Féry Rebel muss man sich kurz ins Gedächtnis rufen, hört man das französisch-barocke Multitalent doch viel zu selten. Der Schüler Lullys war zunächst Geiger, später auch Dirigent und königlicher Kammerkomponist. ›Les Éléments‹ beginnt für das Jahr 1737 zukunftsweisend mit einer clusterhaften Beschreibung des »Chaos«, es markiert die Entstehung der Welt.
Ligetis ›Atmosphères‹ geht einen Schritt weiter und findet eine Klangsprache zur Umschreibung des Ist-Zustands der Welt. Dabei löst der Komponist das tradierte strukturelle und motivisch-thematische Arbeiten auf, wodurch die Musik scheinbar formlos im Raum schwebt.

Mit ›Ich wandte mich und sah an alles Unrecht‹ vollendete Zimmermann nur fünf Tage vor seinem Freitod 1970 sein monumentales letztes Werk. Diese allzu selten im Spielplan anzutreffende ›Ekklesiastische Aktion‹ mit Texten aus der Bibel und von Dostojewski ist Ausdruck seiner Verzweiflung über das ewige Leiden der Menschen und birgt nach dem Ent-stehen (Rebel) und dem Be-stehen der Welt (Ligeti) eine beeindruckende Kulmination in der Darstellung ihrer Zerstörung (Zimmermann).
