Live recording from the recital on November 8th 2011 at the George Enescu National Museum in Bucharest. Carmen Carneci: LICHTUNG – Giacometti Szene for piano played by Andrei Tanasescu
LICHTUNG sounds hermetical, “like a geometrical calculation”; still, this geometry allows feelings to breathe, even if for only a while. With post-expressionist allure and minimalist realisation, this work has a certain objectivity in leading the expression: it should be a “luminous funeral music”, a memento for the singer Steliana Calos. The complex polyphonic conception, the precision in rhythm and the numerous degrees in dynamics create together a kind of artificial space, “like a public-less museum hall – as Carmen Carneci wrote – across which obsessively repeated sounds cease to echo”. (Despina Petecel-Theodoru, from the Booklet to the CD: Carmen Maria Carneci – Chamber music). Performed by Andrei Tanasescu.
