musicAeterna Choral Concert in Saratov: Theodor Currentzis and the 90th anniversary of Alfred Schnittke
On September 11, the musicAeterna Choir conducted by Theodor Currentzis will perform at the Saratov State Conservatory named after L. V. Sobinov. The concert will open the festival dedicated to the 90th anniversary of the birth of the outstanding composer Alfred Schnittke. The program of the evening includes a concert for the choir based on poems by Grigor Narekatsi.
Alfred Schnittke created this masterpiece in the wake of his deep interest in sacred music. In the process, he strove for a «new simplicity», abandoning citationism and polystylistics, which gave his work a unique sound. The Concert is based on the «Book of Mournful Hymns» by the Armenian medieval poet, philosopher and theologian Grigor Narekatsi. Narekatsi's poetry, filled with severe asceticism, combined with Schnittke's Byzantine musical elements, creates a powerful emotional and spiritual effect.
