Ensemble Dissonanzen

The selections of chamber music on this CD by Hans Werner Henze (b.1926) 
tends toward his lyrical side, and with an emphasis on compositions 
derived from his theater pieces.
. The CD's repertoire especially suits the Naples based Ensemble 
Dissonanzen, featuring the talents of its guitarist, Marco Cappelli.
. /The Sonatina/ for flute and piano was written in 1947, its style owes 
something to both Fortner (Henze's teacher in Heidelberg at this time) 
and Hindemith.
. /Boulevard Solitude/, composed in 1952, established Henze as one of 
the leading composers of his generation, particularly in the field of 
music theatre. /Ein kleines Potpourri/ was concocted from the opera for 
chamber ensemble. The driving Perpetuum mobile movement is a 
transposition of the opera's savage Intermezzo.
. /The Drei Tentos/ are from /Kammermusik/ for tenor, guitar and octet 
composed in 1958, when Henze, who had been living in Italy for years, 
spent some time in Greece. Here, fragments of Hölderlin's text are 
evoked without being enunciated. 
. The kaleidoscopic /Carillon, Récitatif, Masque/ is scored for the 
unusual plucked trio of mandolin, guitar and harp.
. /Toccata Mistica/ is one of only a handful of works Henze composed for 
piano. Its fluid, impetuous tidal waves of sound allude to a disfigured 
seascape, with the grand piano cast adrift like a raft amid the breakers.
. The seven /Neue Volkslieder und Hirtengesänge/ are derived from 
Henze's stays in Styria, an Austrian region where folksongs feature the 
bassoon. Here the folksong melodies are transformed verse by verse and 
influenced by a complex harmonic and contrapuntal texture in which the 
guitar accompaniment plays a key role.
. Liner notes by Alessandro Mastropietro, presented in English, German, 
French and Italian
