Immerse yourself in the captivating world of Gordon Kampe's "Arien/Zitronen," a compelling collection of contemporary classical compositions released on November 10, 2017, under the label col legno. This album is a testament to Kampe's versatility and innovative spirit, featuring a diverse range of works that showcase his unique artistic vision.
The album opens with a series of pieces from "Arien/Zitronen" (2016), where Kampe explores the interplay between voice and large ensemble. These tracks, including "Ein Lied," "Operette," "Wurmwerk," and "Sachlicher Bericht," offer a rich tapestry of sounds and emotions, blending lyrical melodies with complex, avant-garde arrangements.
"Knapp" (2016) is another highlight of the album, featuring a quartet of Kontrabassklarinette, Baritonsaxophon, Posaune, and Violoncello. Tracks like "Schlimm und dumpf," "Training/Drone," "Ein Lied," "Tanzen," "Nerven," and "Fast nicht mehr" demonstrate Kampe's ability to craft intricate, engaging compositions that push the boundaries of traditional chamber music.
The album also includes "Drei Stücke für Orchester" (2015), a trio of orchestral works that showcase Kampe's mastery of large-scale compositions. "Les adieux," "Atutu," and "Zackig/Derb/King Kong" are powerful, evocative pieces that highlight the full range of the orchestra.
"Zwerge" (2011) and "Le cœur de la Grenoüille" (2014) offer a glimpse into Kampe's experimental side. These works, featuring large ensembles and a 28-voice choir respectively, are complex, multi-layered compositions that challenge and delight the ear.
Finally, "Moritaten und Sentimentales" (2015) rounds out the album with a set of pieces for a diverse ensemble of Trompete, Posaune, Schlagzeug, E-Gitarre, Violoncello, and Klavier. This eclectic mix of instruments creates a unique, engaging sound that is quintessentially Kampe.
With a total runtime of 1 hour and 18 minutes, "Arien/Zitronen" is a journey through the mind of one of contemporary classical music's most exciting composers. Whether you're a longtime fan of Gordon Kampe or a newcomer to his work, this album is sure to captivate and inspire.
