Pierre Boulez's Masterpiece REPONS Comes to Park Avenue Armory, 10/6 �" 7
by A.A. Cristi
- Jul 11, 2017
This October, Park Avenue Armory honors the visionary work of composer Pierre Boulez in a rare staging of his spatial masterpiece Repons with the Ensemble intercontemporain, its Musical Director Matthias Pintscher, IRCAM, and six soloists from the Ensemble. Utilizing the vast and open space of the Wade Thompson Drill Hall, the Armory will present an unprecedented realization of the work in its demanding configuration, positioning the Ensemble in the center of the audience as they, in turn, are surrounded by soloists and intricate amplification. The composition will also be played twice in succession each evening, with audience members switching seats to hear the work from different locations, changing the sonic dimensions and spatial relationship of their experience. Repons marks the first New York performance of a major work by Boulez since his passing in early 2016, and the first time in over a decade that this masterpiece has been staged as it was originally intended in North America.

BANKS: Elektronik trifft dunklen R'n'B
by Marcel Konrath
- May 30, 2017
Die 28-jahrige Sangerin Banks hat sich mit nur einem Album, wenigen Singles und einer Reihe von uberragenden Konzerten auf der ganzen Welt ihre eigene musikalische Nische zwischen klassischem Songwriting, elektronischer Musik, kunstvollem Pop und dusterem R'n'B geschaffen. Nur so lasst sich erklaren, dass die von Fachleuten zum Vergleich herangezogenen Referenzpunkte ihrer Musik - darunter Feist, Kate Bush und Erykah Badu, Aaliyah, Lauryn Hill und Fiona Apple - kaum gegensatzlicher sein konnten. Doch vom ersten veroffentlichten Ton an war die Kalifornierin ihre eigene Marke, die sich in keiner Weise kategorisieren ließ. Dies bewies ihr 2014 veroffentlichtes Debutalbum „Goddess' ebenso, wie auch das im September erschienene, zweite Album „The Altar' belegt, das weltweit hohe Charts-Platzierungen notierte: Ihre Mischung an Genres, die Architektur ihrer Songs, die gesamte Klangasthetik, aber auch ihre lyrische Balance zwischen mutvoller Selbstbehauptung und intimer Verletzlichkeit zeigen eine Kunstlerin, die jenseits aller Schubladen und Trends ihr vollkommen eigenes Ding macht. Nach ihrer begeisternden Fruhjahrs-Tournee kommt Banks mit Band zwischen dem 28. Oktober und dem 8. November noch einmal fur sechs Shows in Berlin, Koln, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Munchen und Zurich zu uns.
