Wie kaum ein anderer Komponist der Gegenwart hat Alfred Schnittke Daseinserfahrungen des Fin-de-siècle in Tönen aufgefangen. Über Landesgrenzen und Kontinente hinweg empfinden Menschen seine Musik als Widerklang ihrer eigenen Wundmale, Verluste und Sehnsüchte – Gefühle, die in der Sprache der […]
S. Klaucke in FonoForum 11/03: “Solch ein kaleidoskopi- sches Hell-Dunkel-Gefunkel ist das dreisätzige Cello- Konzert, das nun als Weltersteinspielung vorliegt.
