Kirill Petrenko devotes this concert to three composers of the post-war avant-garde. Luigi Dallapiccola’s The Prisoner is about hope, freedom and their misuse. Bernd Alois Zimmermann and Iannis Xenakis also wrote works opposing injustice and oppression. Zimmermann’s Symphony in one movement leads the listener “from an apocalyptic threat to mystic immersion”, according to the composer, while in Empreintes Xenakis creates a shimmering soundscape.

Public

Approved

Kirill Petrenko devotes this concert to three great composers of the post-war avant-garde. Luigi Dallapiccola’s expressive short opera The Prisoner deals with existential concepts such as hope and freedom – and their misuse during totalitarian regimes. Bernd Alois Zimmermann and Iannis Xenakis, whose 100th birthday will be celebrated in 2022, also composed works that oppose injustice and oppression. Zimmermann’s evocative Symphony in One Movement leads the listener “from an apocalyptic threat to mystic immersion”, according to the composer, whereas in Empreintes Xenakis creates a richly coloured, shimmering soundscape.
