Eotvos has a real theatre timbral imagination,,
By scarecrow "scarecrow" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Eötvös: Drei Schwestern (Audio CD)
I've come to prefer Opera less on Compact Disc, I keep being distracted imagining wha the sets and lighting would look like, and that effects my listening, or anyones. Since the visual code has replaced the verbal one , so the structuralist tell us, this makes the listening experience all that more shallow under the mileau of after-post modernity. Which is why composers turn more and more to what works for the least common denominator of theatre goers.And Eotvos has a real theatrical imagination,having worked with Wilson,Tati and Chereau, European drammatic gods, his music has always served the accessible without in any way being condescending ,one-dimensional or simple minded. A feature I had wished Someone would learn on this side of the Atlantic, with direct marriage to the market of Disney and hip fashion. The Chekhov story invests and depicts the three daughters of Colonel Prozorov and occurs, in the original over four acts, a period of four years. Eotvos brings a formidable orchestral technique in sound and structure here in what he calls 'sequences', dealing with the events in an elliptical way. In this way he did enrich the Chekhovian narrative with greater dimensions of content. Eotvos is purely fascinating, his music has tension always, it pours over the drammatic proceeedings with a highly charged yet immediate voice, as in the opening with a bare, exposed lines of the accordeon. The writing for voices is typical opera, very direct and tuneful. The orchestral pit is inhabited by a chamber orchestra, with a 50 piece orchestra behind the stage, front center. In this way Eotvos can play with simple yet effective melodic lines. History resonants here to the farewell reminded me of the farewell in Mozarts Cosi.. The sisters are portrayed by men, in counter tenor and alto roles. Much like pre-classic opera,Handel. It's beautiful stuff, clean ethereal, effeminate and transparent singing.Yet the simplified beauty is arresting yet Eotvos keeps again this pervasive tension in the forefront. Conductor Kent Nagano is part of the new opera European crowd, he has sailed many drammatic seas there.
