Inhalt

Ein amerikanischer Traum im Streicherklang:

Das Adagio von Samuel Barber wurde durch Hollywood zum traumhaft schönen Trauerstück des Kinos. Mei-Ann Chen kombiniert es mit Strawinskis fröhlichem Concerto für einen Park in Washington D.C. und mit einem furiosen Streichertanz der New Yorkerin Jessie Montgomery. Und Michael Hell zeigt, wie anders ein Cembalo klingt, wenn Philip Glass seine „Minimal Music“ darüber ausbreitet.

Philip Glass: Concerto for Harpsichord and Orchestra (2002)
