Meisterhafte Aufführung! György Ligeti hätte seine Freude damit, wenn er noch leben würde. :) Ein grosser Dank für die künstlerische Leistung aller Beteiligten!
Interesting interpretation, more theatrical than I am used to since Patricia Kopatchinskaja is a violinist, not a singer. For me the definitive version on RU-vid is by Barbara Hannigan with Simon Rattle ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-w0Tvj83xqDw.htmlsi=aLDjep67xfjPjOpF
Now THIS is the music I want to see! In my current concert season, I saw some amazing artists play some amazing and very interesting music. Itzhak Perlman came and connected performances of important music with a talk about his life and intimate home videos, Les Ballets du Monte Carlo came and performed Coppelia with an artificial intelligence spin courtesy of their director/choreographer Jean-Christophe Maillot, Vikingur Olaffson performed all of Bach's Goldberg Variations in one sitting, Joshua Bell performed a concert with his wife, the soprano Larrisa Martinez and a pianist performing solo works as well as arrangements of arias for the voice and the violin, The San Francisco Symphony and Esa-Pekka Salonen gave an all-Sibelius concert with the violinist Lisa Bhatiashvili, and the young superstar pianist Alexander Malofeev performed a recital. These are concerts among other amazing concerts. Only a few were, well, lifeless. Another one even saw Bell come again with the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields. Sounds stunning, right? Well, it was. It was perfect. Except, I had heard Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto 100 times in my life before in concert (performed it myself more than a few times too), same with Schumann's 2nd Symphony. It was perfect, but it felt routine. I love the hits of music, your Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Tchaikovsky, etc... But I want interesting stuff, music you don't hear often. I want Ligeti sometimes, more works by living composers, more premieres. I want more concerts like this!!!
