Charles Ives and György Ligeti

With Charles Ives and György Ligeti, to whom the Wiener Konzerthaus is dedicating its own portrait series this season on the occasion of his 100th birthday, two of the most innovative minds of their respective times will face each other on this evening. Ligeti extrapolated three arias for high coloratura soprano, who in the opera embodies the head of the "Gepopo", the secret political police, from his only opera "Le Grand Macabre", a doomsday grotesque from the 1970s that can be classified as absurdist theater. His piano concerto, composed a decade later, is quite different, and Ligeti himself described it as his "aesthetic credo". Similar to the "Études pour piano," which he began in parallel, he explores here immensely virtuosic new possibilities of piano technique, which are undoubtedly in the best hands with Denis Kozhukhin. RSO principal conductor Marin Alsop combines these important works by Ligeti with music by her compatriot Charles Ives: the ingenious dilettante brought - similar to Gustav Mahler at about the same time - music of everyday life into the symphonic, thus breaking the boundaries of art music.
