Summary of This Score
In Concerto de chambre ndeg1, Bruno Mantovani returns to "pure music" without a dramaturgical argument, while maintaining a narrative thought: the work progresses through the evolution of identifiable musical figures, sometimes lush, sometimes surprisingly simple. Two driving ideas emerge from the preparatory sketches: a rocket scale and a chord that metamorphoses through microtonal glissandi. To unify these materials, the composer imagines an initial, almost explosive gesture, where the impact of resonant percussion acts as a trigger for a voluble writing, particularly stimulating for the winds. Formally, the piece cultivates anticipation and contradiction more than linear progression: a new texture emerges halfway through, with an echo effect achieved by the movement of musicians on stage, before a conclusion marked by the repetition of obsessive motifs and silences. Premiered on 06/16/2010 at the Berlin Philharmonie by the Karajan Academy Orchestra under the direction of the composer, this score stands as a disturbing, spectacular, and demanding page, crafted for an ensemble seeking sonic relief and instrumental dramaturgy.
