A “Late Night” concert with French
chamber music and Simon Rattle at the piano
The two
French chamber music works of this
Late Night
concert show evidence of existential crises – but without
sacrificing elegance. Olivier Messiaen wrote his
Quatuor pour la fin du
temps in
1940/41 in a German prisoner-of-war camp, surrounded by death.
Claude Debussy composed his violin sonata in 1917, while he was
seriously ill. Members of the Berliner Philharmoniker perform
with Sir Simon Rattle at the piano.

Olivier Messiaen
Quatuor pour la fin du temps
Programme
After being conscripted by
the French army in 1939, Olivier Messiaen became a
German prisoner of war a year later and was deported to
Görlitz prison camp STALAG VIII A. It was there that the
composer, with death before his eyes every day, wrote
his Quatuor pour la fin du temps
around the turn of the year 1940/1941.
Messiaen’s inspiration for this work came “straight from
[...] the Apocalypse”, as it is portrayed in the Book of
Revelation. With the approval of the camp commander,
Messiaen and three other inmates performed the premiere
of the Quatuor pour la fin du temps
before more than 400 Belgian and French prisoners of war
on 15 January 1941. “The audience was an extremely
diverse mixture from all walks of life – agricultural
workers, labourers, intellectuals, professional
soldiers, doctors and clergy,” as the composer later
recalled. “Never again have I been listened to with such
attention and understanding as then.”
According to Messiaen, the
musical language of the eight-movement composition for
clarinet, violin, violoncello and piano is “disembodied,
spiritual, and catholic. The thematic motifs, which
melodically and harmoniously form a kind of tonal
omnipresence, bring the listener closer to eternity in
space and infinity. Particular rhythms, free from any
measure, strongly contribute to moving the temporal into
the distance.” The performance of Messiaen’s singular
and – despite the circumstances of its composition –
timeless work is the main work in this
late night concert with
Sir Simon Rattle on the piano, the orchestra’s principal
clarinet Wenzel Fuchs, 1st concertmaster of the Berliner
Philharmoniker Daishin Kashimoto and the orchestra’s 1st
principal cello Ludwig Quandt forming the ensemble. To
open this late night
event, Sir Simon and Daishin Kashimoto also perform the
Sonata for Violin and Piano by Messiaen’s fellow
countryman, Claude Debussy.

Maratoia, Zumania
Klarinete Maratoia Ikasturte honetakoa hamaseigarren edizioa izango da
(abenduaren 13-17 bitartean). Klarinete Maratoian musika-hezkuntzaren
hatsarre edo printzipio ugari uztartzen dira: kalitatezko irakaskuntza,
maila handiko musikari eta irakaslearen konpromisoa, jatorri eta maila
ezberdineko musikarien arteko harremana bultzatzea, jende aurrean musika
egiten trebatzea, ikasleek lorpenak jendaurrean erakustea… eta den-dena,
klarinetearen bueltan. Urtetik urtera Klarinete Maratoiak hainbat eta
hainbat jarduera ezberdin ikusi ditu eta horretan dihardugu: Formatu txikiko
zein ertaineko kontzertuak, Musika eta Literatura eta Musika eta Zinea
uztartuta, ikus-entzunezko emanaldiak, argazki lehiaketa,teknologia berrien
erabilpenak musikan (TIC), Music & English, musikarako materialen
erakusketak, Clarinet Clinic, musikari bikainak gonbidatu,… Irakaskuntzari
dagokionez, hasierako urteetatik bakarkako eta taldekako klarinete-eskolak
egin dira maila guztietara zuzenduta: Musika Eskoletako bigarren edo
hirugarren mailako ikasleak, alegia, klarineteari aisialdiaren begiekin
begiratzen diotenak, adin guztietakoak: gaztetxoak, gazteak eta helduak.
Baina Maratoian badute lekua klarinetea lanbidetzat izango duten ikasleek
ere, Kontserbatorioko ikasleek, alegia. Musika eskoletako irakasle
dihardutenak ere ikasle bihurtzen dira Maratoian, eta baita orkestretako
klarinete-joleak ere. Irakasle zein interprete, Maratoira klarinetearen
teknika aurreratuenak barneratzeko etortzen dira. Jatorri hain ezberdineko
ikasleen parte hartzea ez litzateke posible izango Carlos Casadóren
sakon-sakoneko profesionaltasunik gabe. Carlos Casadó Bigarren saria lortu
zuen I.C.A.-k (Internacional Clarinet Association) antolatutako Orchestral
Audition Competition lehiaketan, eta orkestra-musikaren alorrean egindako
lanari esker, trial bat egin zuen BBC Scottish Symphony orkestran,
klarinete-plaza lortu zuen Göteborgs Operan orkestran, eta gaur egun,
Orquesta Nacional de España orkestrako kide da. Ganbera-musikaren
alorrean, emanaldiak egin ditu zenbait talderekin, estreinaldiak, kontzertuk
eta grabaketa ugari eginaz.Horiez guztiez gain, hiru CD argitaratu ditu:
Música para clarinete solo del siglo XX; Arabesco, klarinete eta pianorako;
eta Just for fun, klarinete baxu eta pianorako. Disko horiek oso harrera ona
izan zuten kritikari adituen artean. Irakasle-lanari dagokionez, Coruñako
Conservatorio Estatal Superior de Música kontserbatorioko
klarinete-katedraduna da, eta hainbat erakunderen deiak jasotzen ditu,
ikastaroak eman, topaketetan parte hartu eta bestelako jarduera didaktikoak
egiteko. 2006an, International Clarinet Association elkarteak Espainiarako
Chairperson izendatu zuen.
