… gerade nicht zu Sinfonien passend…
nochmal solo unterwegs mit Augustin Hadelich – Mystery Sonatas, komponiert von David Lang,UA 2014, VÖ 2018… was für ein glasklarer Ton. Die Komposition war Teil einer 6-teiligen Serie „Collected Stories“
the composer explored the various approaches composers have taken to relate tales of adventure, love, longing and spiritual questing. (https://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/01/arts/music/david-langs-collected-stories-series-ends-with-memoir.html)
https://davidlangmusic.bandcamp.com/album/mystery-sonatas: Lang based his „mystery sonatas“ on the famous pieces by Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber, but with a modern twist. “I decided to make my own virtuosic pieces about my most intimate, most spiritual thoughts,” he explains, “[but] mine are not about Jesus, and the violin is not retuned between movements. I did keep one of Biber’s distinctions. He divides Jesus’s life into three phases—the joyous, the sorrowful, and the glorious. The central pieces of my mystery sonatas are called ‘joy,’ ‘sorrow,’ and ‘glory,’ but these are all quiet, internal, reflective states of being.”
