[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][vc_column_text]\u201c[…] In the first concert there were 5 pieces […] The musical development is not typically as audiences on normal classical\/contemporary concerts may expect. The texture and overall atmosphere is important, and was so masterly achieved in the concert that one can call it unique. This kind of atmosphere one hardly ever experiences in a concert<\/strong><\/span>, except perhaps when hearing the music of George Crumb. Especially I have to mention Dincolo<\/em> […] where the soundscape was so mythical and ancient-like and so unbelievably beautiful that I cannot remember anything like that<\/strong><\/span>. Also I must mention Clocks<\/em> […] As the name suggests, it is speculations about the Time, that was based on many different rhythms and pulses, but underneath there was lying a kind of non-pulse that gradually took over so that an image was created of the Time, who rules the deterioration of everything, like the Greek god Kronos who ate his children. So the ticking clocks ended on legendary notes. […]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The second concert […] was equally good. Two works by Rotaru were premiered, one of them named \u201cPrana-apana\u201d […] The music was alternatively extravert, lively, with a clear form or introvert and charmingly faint. The other premiered piece was called Japanese Garden<\/em> […] The atmosphere was meditative \u2013 but otherwise I lack words to describe the music. It was so wonderfully special<\/strong> <\/span>and Kolbeinn [Bjarnason]\u2019s performance so full of contrasts and emotion that there is no way to describe it in words<\/strong><\/span>. Arni Kristjansson said in his book \u201cWhat are you-Music?\u201d that such music is not \u201cbased on things that have happened. It is the \u201cpoetry of the air\u201d, life without material, eternal. It is based on abstractism, not reality.\u201d The value of such music though, is that it opens the possibility to make the unreal real; it makes you able to make the existence of the spirit touchable<\/strong><\/span>. In this concert this happened.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It is clear that those who stayed home missed a lot. Without a doubt, this is one of the most interesting concerts that has been in Skalholt for a long, long time.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][vc_separator type=”normal”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][vc_column_text][ENG]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cI perceived the whole work more like an elegy of a powerful creator, whose moments of fragility have, volens nolens<\/em>, strength.<\/span><\/strong> […] this music gives the impression of an unhindered flow, while its construction is solid and strict \u2013 a music that is at the same time refined and intensive, played with<\/p>\n talent […]\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [RO]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cAm perceput \u00eentreaga lucrare mai degrab\u0103 ca pe o elegie a unui creator puternic, ale c\u0103rui momente de fragilitate au, volens nolens<\/em>, for\u0163\u0103.<\/strong><\/span> […] aceast\u0103 muzic\u0103 d\u0103 impresia de curgere nestingherit\u0103, \u00een timp ce construc\u0163ia ei este solid\u0103 \u015fi riguroas\u0103 \u2013 o muzic\u0103 rafinat\u0103 \u015fi puternic\u0103 totodat\u0103, c\u00e2ntat\u0103 cu har […]\u201d[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][vc_separator type=”normal”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][vc_column_text][ENG]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201c[…] listening to this atemporal music<\/strong><\/span>, seemingly emerged directly from the veiled soul tissues of a legendary creature, I felt as if such music would have been written by the fairy godmothers, the saintly benefactors and all feminine protectors from fairy-tales: soothing and magic<\/strong> par excellence<\/em><\/strong><\/span>, whose beneficent potion we cannot stop being captivated by […]\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [RO]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201c[…] ascult\u00e2nd aceast\u0103 muzic\u0103 atemporal\u0103<\/strong><\/span>, desprins\u0103 parc\u0103 direct dintre voalatele \u0163esuturi suflete\u015fti ale unei f\u0103pturi legendare, am avut impresia c\u0103 ursitoarele, sfintele binef\u0103c\u0103toare \u015fi toate patroanele feminine din basme o astfel de muzic\u0103 ar fi compus: m\u00e2ng\u00e2ietoare \u015fi magic\u0103<\/strong> prin excelen\u0163\u0103<\/strong><\/span>, de a c\u0103rei po\u0163iune binef\u0103c\u0103toare nu contenim s\u0103 ne l\u0103s\u0103m subjuga\u0163i […]\u201d<\/p>\n A.M.
