A Quia Aufgang Wenn Du Dem Wind…

Description

Pascal Dusapin has composed numerous stage works, one of the most recent being the opera Penthesilea, based on the play by Heinrich von Kleist. From this opera comes Wenn du dem Wind, the concert suite that opens the album's program. Although it begins and ends with a line for solo harp, its evolution takes the listener to the edges of love, war, and the demand for unyielding laws. Dusapin's catalog also includes several concertos, including Aufgang and À quia for violin and piano, respectively. The soloists on this album are Natascha Petrinsky, who performed Penthesilea at the opera's premiere, Carolin Widmann, and Nicolas Hodges, two prominent interpreters of contemporary music.
