Description

[Machine Translation] This is a collection of choral works by the contemporary German composer Henze. Although Henze's popularity is concentrated on his large-format works, his vocal works with words reflect his "true voice," and are known as a valuable collection that offers a glimpse into Henze's artistic and philosophical thought, as well as his religious views. Among his works, "Orpheus of the Barbed Wire," a modern adaptation of the Greek myth "Orpheus and Eurydice" by the English playwright Edward Bond (1934- ), is one of his most popular works. Originally a working-class man, Bond began writing plays in his teens, and his shocking and violent stage plays caused controversy. The music by Henze is also atonal, but at times full of enchanting beauty. His early work, "Five Madrigals," is a simple, classicist piece that reflects Henze's experience of the war. Songs from an Island" also uses traditional expressions. All are difficult to perform, but the Southwest German Radio Choir and Ensemble Moderne, conducted by Creed, convey the full charm of the music.
Note: This is an import edition (manufactured outside of Japan).

Description in Japanese

ヘンツェ: 合唱作品集 / マルクス・クリード(指揮)/シュトゥットガルト南西放送声楽アンサンブル、アンサンブル・モデルン

ドイツの現代作曲家ヘンツェの合唱作品集。大編成の作品に人気が集中するヘンツェですが、言葉を用いる声楽作品には、彼の「真実の声」が反映されており、これらはヘンツェの芸術観や哲学的思想、そして宗教観までをも垣間見ることができる貴重な作品群として知られています。なかでも、ギリシャ神話の「オルフェウスとオイリディーケ」をイギリスの劇作家エドワード・ボンド(1934-)が現代に翻案した「鉄条網のオルフェウス」は根強い人気を持つ作品。もともと労働者階級であったボンドは、10代から戯曲を書き始め、衝撃的、暴力的な舞台で物議をかもした人ですが、年とともに作風を転換させ、80年代には戦争をテーマにした作品を多く手掛けた人。この作品も、まさに戦争によって引き裂かれ、抑圧された恋人たちがモティーフであり、付けられたヘンツェの音楽も無調でありながら、時にうっとりするほどの美しさに満ちています。初期の作品「5つのマドリガル」は、やはりヘンツェの戦争体験が反映された古典主義的なシンプルな表現を持つ曲。また「島からの歌」にも伝統的な表現が用いられています。どれも演奏は困難ですが、クリードが指揮する南西ドイツ放送合唱団とアンサンブル・モデルンは、曲の魅力を余すことなく伝えています。
