Lachenmann in popular forms is flat and predictable
The "Tanzsuite" here is too obvious a culmulative gesture for the creative sensibility Lachenmann has revealed. He is basically a timbral composer a consummate colorist and when he makes these marvelous orchestral colors inhabit and be projected in popular forms, the result is flat and predictable. Lachenmann's interest is in fact that his music is not predictable it is elliptical and ...

Another Lachenmann success for Kairos
Helmut Lachenmann, though little known till recently on this side of the Atlantic, has been a major figure on the European new music circuit for many years now. He's followed a very individual path through the warrens of contemporary music, forging a distinct postmodernist style. In the sixties, he began as a doctrinaire serialist (in works like his String Trio) before, under the influence of ...

Two major Lachenmann works in excellent performances
This disc contains two large-scale works by the avant-garde German composer Helmut Lachenmann. Both Allegro sostenuto, for clarinet, cello and piano, and Serynade, for piano alone, are weighty works lasting about half an hour. Lachenmann's music has moved on from the time when it was largely dominated by extended playing techniques to the near-exclusion of conventional playing styles. In these, ...

The last great opera of the 20th Century?
Or the first great opera of the 21st? Helmut Lachenmann's opera--here substantially revised from the original recording--is nothing short of breathtaking. I first encountered Lachenmann through the Arditti Quartet recording of his 2nd String Quartet; fascinated by the "noise," I picked up Schwankungen am Rand the instant I saw it and wasn't disappointed. I only hesitated briefly at the ...

Ecm Import, 2002

An outstanding disc of music by a major contemporary figure
Helmut Lachenmann has been a major figure in the German new music scene for over three decades now, but it is only recently that he has become well-known outside German-speaking countries. (His influence within the German-speaking music world has been important and long-lasting, with major figures such as Wolfgang Rihm and Beat Furrer writing music that would have been inconceivable without ...

wonderful works in guitar genre,
The Murail "Tellur" is a fantastic work, in fact when you hear the opening it doesn't sound like a guitar, more like electronic music,it begins in the high register,harmonics used, that slowly then decends, the impetus of the work is the flamenco style of playing mixed with these extended techniques, The French avant-garde, French composers are not prolific, they hone single works for months ...

Disques Montaigne, 2000

Outstanding music in outstanding performances
Helmut Lachenmann's musical style--based around creating musical beauty from unconventional sounds--has gained many admirers of late. With performances like these, from the Arditti Quartet, it is easy to see why. This disc showcases two sides of Lachenmann's work--the introverted (in 1989's second string quartet, 'Reigen seliger geister') and the extroverted (in 1980's satirical 'Tanzsuite mit ...

Lachenmann en estado puro.
Las obras contenidas en este magnífico CD de Lachenmann nos permiten tener un retrato detallado del compositor en cuanto a su concepción del sonido y a su relación íntima con la música, su significado y su creación. Musik mit Leonardo retoma la herencia de Luigi Nono, fundiéndola con el aristado estilo particular de Lachenmann, que en esta versión realiza la narración (algo habitual), para ...

great performances of three original voices
This is an early work of Lachenmann written between 1981 and 1983 and features a long neglected instrument of the tuba. Lachenmann has found a voice in a rich pallette of noise sounds, scraps, extended techniques with generous amounts of percussion moments on small handheld instruments.He knows how to give mystery to his large timbral canvas. This is not a concerto, so the tuba moments are ...
