Bruno Maderna: Complete Works for Orchestra Vol. 4

Bruno Maderna: Complete Works for Orchestra Vol. 4


Maderna:

Quadrivium

Konrad Graf, Andreas Hepp, Burkhard Roggenbruck, Andreas Boettger (percussion)

Aura

Amanda (Serenata VI), for chamber orchestra Cadenza

Alejandro Rutauskas (violin)

Giardino Religioso


hr-Sinfonieorchester & Frankfurt Symphony Radio Orchestra, Arturo Tamayo

Quadrivium was composed in 1969 and marks the beginning of Maderna’s final creative period, during which he wrote impressive and headstrong works for large symphonic forces. Aura was commissioned for the 80th anniversary of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and was premiered in 1972. Amanda was written in 1966 and is uninhibited, cheerful and lyrical.

“The performances under Arturo Tamayo are just what one wants, nicely detailed with a real confident sweep about them: the Frankfurt Radio Orchestra sound as if they've been playing this music all their professional lives.” The Guardian, 29th March 2012 ****

“Tamayo makes most of Maderna's neat premise. The conductor walks through the orchestra, as if he's navigating pathways through the secret garden Maderna invokes in his title. If nothing different happened in sound there would be little point in going to such extremes; but Tamayo creates an illusion of three-dimensional sound” Gramophone Magazine, July 2012

Bruno Maderna: Complete Works for Orchestra Vol. 3


Maderna:

Ausstrahlung, for female voice, flute, oboe, large orchestra and tape

Carole Sidney Louis (soprano), Thaddeus Watson (flute) & Michael Sieg (oboe)

Biogramma

Grande Aulodia

Thaddeus Watson (flute) & Michael Sieg (oboe)


HR-Sinfonieorchester & Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra, Arturo Tamayo

Bruno Maderna was one of the leading figures of Europe’s postwar avant-garde and was the embodiment of the free spirit. Ausstrahling was written for female voice, flute, oboe, orchestra and prerecorded tape (1971) and is a sort of journey through the literary and spiritual history of Persia. Boigramma is a work of contrast and retroflection, each section emphasizing different instruments.

“Tamayo's ear for how the fragments inform the whole is on the button, and those glowing strings, and the soulful extended cor anglais solo, mean this is the Biogramma of choice” Gramophone Magazine, August 2011

Improvvisazione No. 2


Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra, hr-Sinfonieorchester, Arturo Tamayo

Bruno Maderna finished his first large-scale orchestral works in the 1950s. They were preceded by a series of chamber pieces he had written in the aftermath of World War II. The very plain titles – “Composition”, “Exercise”, “Improvisation” – bear witness to the creative place within which the music is situated

Concerto for Flute and Orchestra

Thaddeus Watson (flute)

Aria

Claudia Barainsky (soprano)

Alejandro Rutkauskas (violin), Jochen Tschabrun (clarinet), Ulrich Büsing (bass clarinet), John MacDonald (horn)


hr-Sinfonieorchester & Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra, Arturo Tamayo

The five orchestral works in this comprehensive anthology have a common nucleus pointing to the core interests which Bruno Maderna pursued from 1954 to 1966: experiments with a post-serial harmonic vocabulary, and a search for dramatic structures. This CD includes Composition in Three Tempi, Concerto for Flute and Orchestra, Aria, Dimension III and Stele per Diotima.

“The authority of Tamayo's direction, allied to the assurance of the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra and abetted by SACD sound that clarifies the densest passages, is a constant pleasure in itself.” International Record Review, July/August 2010
