A Liberation indeed
2010
Overview
More than half a century after his most important works were created, the French-American modernist EdgarVarese still has the power to startle listeners. His most famous slogan called for 'the liberation of sound' and last weekend's Varese 360 [degrees] festival certainly supplied London's Southbank Centre with a greater concentration of ear-opening music than it had heard in a long time. The programme opened with the first British performance of Mark-Anthony Turnage's Texan Tenebrae and ought to have closed with the world premiere of Gorecki's Fourth Symphony. Ill-health prevented its completion, so instead we heard Gorecki's grief-laden Third Symphony, an often misunderstood work that in 1977 signalled the Polish composer's break with modernism, but placed him far ahead of the later 'holy minimalists'.This ethereal performance, featuring soprano Joanna Wos, was dedicated to the memory of Poland's recent air-disaster victims.
