Yuri Mizobuchi - Cracovian Album - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

First CD recording of Karlheinz Stockhausen's InchTierkreisInch (InchZodiacInch) in the version for organ released by WERGO Originally composed for music boxes, the work has been arranged for organ and recorded by the young organist Dominik Susteck at St. Peter in Cologne. The thirty-three-year-old, who has been organist at St. Peter for four years, realized this project not only at an unusual venue but also on an unusual instrument. Since the 1980s, this Catholic chappel combines the church with contemporary art The InchSt. Peter's Art StationInch has become not only a much sought-after venue for exhibitions of contemporary art but also a special venue for new music due to numerous concerts and services with 20th- and 21st-century music. In addition, the InchSt. Peter's Art StationInch is provided with an instrument built by Willy Peter which was designed for contemporary music The four-manual great organ and the three-manual choir organ currently have 104 stops, including such unusual sound additions as siren, saxophone, and percussion orchestra with cymbals, drums, or xylophone. The organ, inaugurated in 2004, is worldwide unique because of it's design and structure. Dominik Susteck describes his interpretation of Stockhausen's work as Inchfrozen musical movement. The instrument no longer sounds like an organ but proves to be a colourful, agile and dynamic beingInch.

To unfold a seemingly simple form into an intricate structure The fan epitomizes the transformation from simple to complex. Transitions from clearly defined forms to figures of great heterogeneity are fundamentally inscribed into the two compositions on this album. In Caspar Johannes Walters Inchmetrische DissonanzenInch the solo percussionist and the ensemble transform harmonic relations into rhythmical processes, fanning out a vast sound universe. And in InchSchwankende ZeitInch (Swaying Time) Isabel Mundry relates two adaptions of pieces by Louis Couperin to three new pieces of hers and thus creates with numerous musical and extramusical stimuli a network of references and allusions, of nearness and remoteness. The artwork of the album shows Gerhard Richter's InchAbstraktes BildInch from 1962, commenting in an artistic manner on the thematic concentration of the program from the highlights of the InchMusikfabrik i'm WDRInch series. Richter, one of the most important living German artists, has been a member of the board of trustees of the Ensemble Musikfabrik since 2009.
