“For a number of years, it has been my convinction that Music (and Art in general) must simply have the humble task of describing its own End, or at the very least, its slow dying out. ... Misunderstandings are only created by those who, even unconsciously, think of music as a discourse, and thus, even unawares, as caricature of an arc that describes a useless orgasm. ... Everything flows smoothly, even in total immobility. The reality that surrounds us already moves too fast to make us want to imitate it. The end naturally creates a sense of saturation and exhaustion, but it is never definitive: by way of a hopeless inurement, we immediately hasten into the infinite and the eternal.

“Clementi, with his customary intransigence, proceeds down his solitary road, which in recent years has led him to the use of the so-called "informal" borrowed from certain experiences in painting. (...)
Clementi shapes his music with the transparency and essentiality of means that make master-works.

“The present release in our Festspieldokumente Edition is intended to illustrate the close bond between Berio and the Salzburg Festival and features performances of two of his most important works, both of which caused something of a sensation not just in Salzburg but in the wider musical world. Both works - Epifanie, which was written between 1959 and 1961, and Coro, which received its first performance at Donaueschingen in 1976 - were later revised and their original versions were withdrawn. For this reason if for no other, the unrevised versions released here are of particular importance for the performing history and reception of these works.

Lachenmann worked out his idea of a "musique concrete instrumentale", taking the idea of sound production, which until then had been merely taken for granted in the tradition but never explored in such a radical way, and moving to the foreground of compositional thinking

“This record is devoted to three American composers who I only met once but whose work I listened to a great deal before and after I met them. And each of those composers provided me with their own illuminating guidance through what is now known as New Music. ...........
While I know that many people have to spend their lives rushing here and there, I should like to suggest that they listen slowly to everything on this recording as a single, whole event. Only by doing this and absorbing the actual sound of the guitars themselves, the vibrations of their strings and the overall architecture of what is here will listeners hear that each piece is not an independent document but that its identity exists precisely in relation to what comes before and after it.

It's the better process to go, early and rightly, to the origin of mental gesture of creation, to intercept, to amplify and to organize instantly the secret voice of main psychical mechanisms.

“Of the eight pieces in program, all for small groups of performers, six are of recent years, one in 1995 and "Song of Farewell" even in 1966. These tracks have in common some key characteristics: the parts of different instruments often move in apparent independence from one another, in a contrapuntal way, also rely mostly on sequences of small intervals. The dominant dynamic is "piano", mostly the "pianissimo", the times are generally slow or very slow. All this combines to create a "timeless", an inner feeling of suspension or extension of time, almost of fixity, which is essentially and strongly contemplative.”

“The problem of what 'interpret' means is particularly fascinating for the music of the sixties and seventies, with those "open" works which permit a creative contribution on the part of the performer. The concept of interpretation itself is in itself open to "opening up": it changes with time, and how much more the conditions change between the moment of conception and that of performance of a work.
C. Ambrosini, from the attached booklet
