100 years of Xenakis. Architect and musician, an archaic spirit, even more radical than the avant-garde, hardly to be grasped by conventional standards. “Aïs” refers to the realm of the dead of Greek antiquity. A baritone and a percussionist celebrate texts from three sources: Homer, Sappho, Iliad – whispering poetry, desperate cries. And bursts of energy from 96 orchestral musicians, steel towers of clay of apocalyptic proportions, glissando waterfalls like natural events. Vladimir Jurowski’s answer to Xenakis is Mahler 5, which is no less existential, shattering to the core, and which also includes the dimension of love. In between, Vilde Frang – for the first time with the RSB – makes Bartók’s enchanting, imaginary bridal gift to the violinist Stefi Geyer her own, unheard by her at the time, in 1907.

English

100 Jahre Xenakis. Architekt und Musiker, ein archaischer Geist, radikaler noch als die Avantgarde, mit herkömmlichen Maßstäben kaum zu (be)greifen. „Aïs“ verweist ins Totenreich der griechischen Antike. Ein Bariton und ein Schlagzeuger zelebrieren Texte aus drei Quellen: Homer, Sappho, Ilias – flüsternde Poesie, verzweifelte Schreie. Und Energieausbrüche von 96 Orchestermusiker:innen, stählerne Tontürme apokalyptischen Ausmaßes, Glissandowasserfälle wie Naturereignisse. Die Antwort Vladimir Jurowskis auf Xenakis heißt: Mahler 5. Nicht minder existentiell, grundfestenerschütternd, kennt die Mahler-Sinfonie zusätzlich die Dimension der Liebe. Dazwischen macht sich Vilde Frang – erstmals beim RSB – Bartóks bezauberndes, imaginäres Brautgeschenk an die Geigerin Stefi Geyer zu eigen, von ihr damals, 1907, freilich unerhört.
