Igor Stravinsky: Symphony in C(1938-40)



Michael Gielen, SWR Sinfonieorchester Baden-Baden und Freiburg

"Composed for the Glory of God and Dedicated to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra"

Wenn ich einen Klappentext schreiben müßte, dann wie folgt.
"Abseits jedes biographisch oder zeitgeschichtlich motivierbaren Einflusses (Stravinsky selbst berichtet vom persönlich schlimmsten Jahr seines Lebens, als er begann das Werk zu komponieren; nichts davon ist darin verarbeitet) steht dieses leicht anachronistische Stück Musik, eine tonale, beinah klassische Symphonie in C Dur, als faszinierendes, glasklares, wunderschönes Kunstwerk im zeitlosen Raum."

- Leonard Cohen: Is This What You Wanted
["You were Marlon Brando, I was Steve McQueen/ You were K-Y Jelly, I was Vaseline"]
- Townes Van Zandt: To Live's To Fly
["Days up and down they come/ Like rain on a conga drum/ Forget most, remember some/ But don't turn none away"]
- Pulp: A Little Soul
["You think I'm joking? Try me./ Try me, come on, try me tonight"]
- The Marvelettes: Don't Mess With Bill
["Don't mess with Bill"]
- Linda Jones: I (Who Have Nothing)
["Ooooo I loove you, don't you know, don't you know that I looove you!"]

Händel: Giulio Cesare.
René Jacobs dirigiert das Concerto Köln.
(Jennifer Larmore, Barbara Schlick, Bernarda Fink etal)



Ich habe schon vor einiger Zeit eine Karte für die Aufführung der Oper unter Jacobs (aber mit anderem Orchester und anderen Sängern) im Theater an der Wien (13.April) gekauft.

Das Ding dauert allerdings 4 Stunden. [ahi, numi!]
Ich bereite mich also intensiv vor.
