Fractures of the Familiar
Sarah Leonard soprano

Pierre-Laurent Aimard piano*
Schumann Gesänge der Frühe*
Helmut Lachenmann ... got lost ... [music for soprano and piano] (UK premiere)
Stockhausen Gesang der Jünglinge
The German Helmut Lachenmann, one of the leaders of the European avant-garde, is a true original. His daring, brilliantly imaginative approach to sound, plunging the listener into a disorientating, unfamiliar world, has been described as ‘musique concrète instrumentale’.
These new settings of Nietzsche are coupled with an electro-acoustic classic from one of his former teachers and a 19th-century original – Schumann’s unsettling experimental fantasy.
‘we “fracture the familiar” by making ourselves aware of a musical structure’ Helmut Lachenmann
