    SEASONS GREETINGS! For Christmas Day i’m bringing my Advent Calendar to a close with one of the most wonderfully perverse orchestral works i’ve heard in recent years, Helmut Lachenmann‘s Marche Fatale. It began life as a piece for solo piano, premièred in 2017, and the orchestral version followed a year …

    i’ve been catching up lately with some of the more recent releases from NEOS, who for a long time have distinguished themselves as not just one of the most forward-looking labels, but easily one of the most fecund, putting out at least one major release every month, often in the …

    Proms 2013: Helmut Lachenmann – Tanzsuite mit Deutschlandlied (UK Première)

    by 5:4 July 16, 2013 • 13:02
    July 16, 2013 • 13:02
