Konzert | Sendung am 13.10.2017 um 20:03 Uhr

VIP Ecesu Sertesen beim Brandenburgischen StaatsorchesterZarathustra und Omar

Live aus Frankfurt/Oder

 

Frankfurt, Germany

 

 

              Was haben die beiden Perser Zarathustra und al-Khayyam in einem klassischen Musikprogramm verloren? Das Brandenburgische Staatsorchester hat Ecesu Sertesen eingeladen, Fazıl Says Klarinettenkonzert "Khayyam" zu spielen. Chef Howard Griffiths dirigiert außerdem Strauss' "Also sprach Zarathustra".

 

             Das großbesetzte Orchester dominiert das Programm des Abends, den wir live (zeitversetzt von 19.30 Uhr) aus der Konzerthalle CPE Bach in Frankfurt an der Oder übertragen: Ein Feuerwerk an Klangfarben entfaltet Richard Strauss in seiner Tondichtung frei nach Friedrich Nietzsche über den orientalischen Religionsstifter Zarathustra. Ebenso auf orchestralen Glanz aus war der englisch-polnische Dirigent Leopold Stokowski, als er die berühmte d-Moll-Orgeltoccata von Johann Sebastian Bach für ein modernes Sinfonieorchester bearbeitet hat. So kommt es zu einer leichten Ironie am Rande - die Orgel in der Taufkirche Heinrich von Kleists, der heutigen Konzerthalle CPE Bach, erklingt in Richard Strauss' Tondichtung als ein Instrument unter vielen anderen im Orchester, während sie in Stokowskis Arrangement komplett ersetzt wird.

 

            Für den erkrankten Schweizer Musiker Reto Bieri ist die aus der Türkei stammende Klarinettistin Ecesu Sertesen eingesprungen. Sie spielt in Frankfurt das Konzert "Khayyam", das Fazıl Say vor sechs Jahren für das Schleswig Holstein Musikfestival und die Solistin Sabine Meyer komponiert hat. Wie man es von dem türkischen Komponisten und Pianisten kennt, mischt er unerschrocken und innovativ musikalische Stile aller Epochen und Regionen zu einem ganz eigenen. Die Solistin hat das Werk, das Say dem persischen Mathematiker und Dichter Omar al-Khayyam gewidmet hat, schon mehrfach - vor allem in der Türkei - aufgeführt.

Biography (in French):

 

André Moisan est réputé pour sa maîtrise de toutes les clarinettes, ainsi que pour sa musicalité raffinée et la clarté de son jeu.

Depuis 1977, il s’est produit régulièrement en concert, à la radio et télévision, tant comme soliste que comme chambriste. Ses nombreux concerts à l'étranger, notamment au Carnegie Hall, au Royal Concertgebouw et à Radio-Berlin, lui ont valu de se hisser parmi les interprètes de premier plan. Il a eu le privilège de jouer sous la direction de chefs réputés, surtout avec l'Orchestre symphonique de Montréal. Il faisait d'ailleurs ses débuts avec cet orchestre en 1977 sous la direction d’Andrew Davis et par la suite il fut régulièrement soliste invité sous la baguette de Charles Dutoit et depuis, avec Kent Nagano.Il occupe, au sein de l’OSM, le pupitre de saxophone solo et de clarinette basse depuis mai 1999. Il est également professeur agrégé à la faculté de musique de  l’Université de Montréal où il enseigne depuis 1989.

 

Il fut membre de la Société de musique contemporaine du Québec (SMCQ) de 1977 à 2001 et  il fut aussi membre du Nouvel Ensemble Moderne (le NEM) de 1989 à 1996.

Au cours de sa carrière, André Moisan a reçu de nombreux prix et boursier du conseil des arts à maintes reprises. Il a d’ailleurs été en nomination à quatre reprises pour le prix Opus comme soliste, chambriste et chef d’orchestre.

Animateur et pédagogue accompli, il a dirigé pendant dix années à l’OSM, pour la série Matinées Jeunesse dès 1998, ainsi que pour la série Jeux d'enfants. Finaliste à plusieurs reprises, il a  remporté le prix Opus du « Concert famille » de l’année 2003 pour un concert de cette série et à nouveau à titre de chef d’orchestre avec l’OSM en 2007. André Moisan dirige régulièrement au Canada et à l’étranger.

Virtuose reconnu internationalement pour son jeu sur toutes les clarinettes imaginables ainsi que tous les saxophones, André Moisan a commencé l'étude de ceux-ci avec son père, qui fut saxophoniste et clarinettiste à l'Orchestre symphonique de Montréal de 1952 à 1998. Il s’est ensuite perfectionné auprès de Robert Crowley, également soliste à l'OSM, puis à Chicago avec Larry Combs, soliste de l'OSC, et finalement à Berlin avec Karl Leister, qui fut lomgtemps clarinette solo du Philharmonique de Berlin.

L'année 1996 marquait l'enregistrement de son premier disque solo, Impressions de France, et depuis,  il a enregistré 8 autres disques sous étiquette ATMA, tous classés « enregistrement de référence » par la critique internationale. Et pour pour 2017 nous serons témoins de la sortie de ses 2 nouveaux cd’s chez ATMA classique dont un, avec le Quatuor Molinari dédié à la musique d’origine juive (Klezmer) avec une création du compositeur et chef d’orchestre Longueuillois, Airat Ishmouratov, l’autre étant consacré à la musique du monde et au Jazz avec grand orgue, programme qui fut d’ailleurs présenté à la co cathédrale de Longueuil en octobre 2016.

The new Stanley Drucker Heritage Collection of Five CDs covering over 46 years of Live Performances of Chamber Music and Recitals to be issued very soon and a must have for all Clarinetists.  Of special interest is that the broad range of Solo, Recital and Chamber repertoire was selected by Dr Drucker himself spanning over four decades of live concerts performed outside the New York Philharmonic.  Given the incredible history of 61 years in the Philharmonic and his Concerto accolades this collection should be an inspiration to hear.   This collection is in the pre-production stage and planned for release within a month.  If you pre-oder now, Dr Drucker will autograph 35 CD sets for WKA members.
