Jörg Widmann: 180 beats per minute | Manchester Collective
Take a breath and prepare for this frenzied sextet.
Full of driving basslines, wild toplines and a blistering pace, you’d be forgiven for feeling the same heady energy of one of the techno club nights that Jörg Widmann drew inspiration from back when he composed this piece in 1993.
Disorientating rhythms twist and turn like a crazed rollercoaster that never settles, and the music cries out for joy as it reaches terminal velocity.
“The work makes no claims to be more than the sum of its parts - the sheer enjoyment of rhythm. -Jörg Widmann

Donald Grant: NZ 2004 | Manchester Collective and Fergus McCreadie Trio
Переглядів 552Місяць тому
String player Donald Grant crafts a gnarly fusion of Scottish folk timbres and groove-heavy improvisation in his piece 'NZ 2004'. Written to commemorate an extreme sports-heavy trip to New Zealand and then recorded in 2009 on Grant's solo album 'The Way Home', the latest incarnation of this exuberant track brought the concert hall to life when the Collective performed it as part of 'The Unfurro...
Franz Schubert: Death and the Maiden (String Quartet No. 14 in D minor, II.) | Manchester Collective
Переглядів 392Місяць тому
In the space of just 15 minutes, Schubert takes us on a journey of profoundly different emotions with one underlying focus: death. Now a pillar of the chamber music repertoire, this string quartet was written by the prolific Austrian composer after suffering a serious illness and realising that he was inching ever closer to his end, despite still being in his twenties. It’s a death march of sor...
La Folia (Trad.) | Manchester Collective
Переглядів 3472 місяці тому
Before the four-chord song in pop music, there was the ‘folia’, a folk form that’s been around since the 15th century. It’s popular, because, well… it’s easy: everyone can join in with the simple chord sequence, and confident individuals can dazzle by spinning increasingly virtuosic variations. Composers like Lully and Vivaldi added fiery variations that might seem a little tame to modern ears....
Caroline Shaw: Plan & Elevation | Manchester Collective
Переглядів 5312 місяці тому
Space and proportion. Plan and elevation. It was these essential architectural ideas and two fundamental ways of drawing them that composer Caroline Shaw ruminated on in 2014, back when she was commissioned to write music inspired by Dumbarton Oaks. The beautiful grounds of this country-house estate in Washington D.C. are a layered and geometric landscape of pathways, trimmed vegetation, formal...
Edmund Finnis: String Quartet No. 2 | Manchester Collective
Переглядів 6542 місяці тому
Composer and long-time friend of the Collective, Edmund Finnis crafts music described as “magical”, “iridescent” and “exquisite” (The Times, The Guardian and BBC Radio 3 respectively). All of those qualities are conjured up by String Quartet No. 2, which Finnis developed around musical ideas first formed almost two decades previously. What was first rediscovered on dusty minidiscs has become an...

Steve Reich: Different Trains (III: After the war) | Manchester Collective
Переглядів 6023 місяці тому
Not all journeys are the same. As a child, composer Steve Reich frequently travelled back and forth by train to see his separated parents between New York and Los Angeles between 1939 to 1942. As a Jew, Reich later looked back to realise that he might have been making very different train journeys in that period had he been born on the other side of the Atlantic. These ideas of travel, early li...
Vivaldi Concerto with African percussion | Manchester Collective
Переглядів 8363 місяці тому
Familiar yet unexpected. We wanted to take one of classical music’s most famous composers - Vivaldi - and transport his music to a surprising new soundworld. Here, a string orchestra performs the Concerto for Strings in G minor, joined by the poetic sounds of the West African ‘talking drum’ and the earthy tones of a Calabash, an instrument which shares its name with the type of gourd from which...
Music for nine bagpipes on two violins | LAD: Julia Wolfe (arr. Rakhi Singh) | Manchester Collective
Переглядів 1,2 тис.4 місяці тому
There’s no escaping the power of Julia Wolfe’s ‘LAD’. Originally written for nine bagpipes, these layered and stretching drones interrogate the raw essence of sound. Our take on this formidable piece is an arrangement by Rakhi Singh for violin and effects pedal, which we performed as the closing number to Rakhi and Alan Keary’s duo set in a packed-out pub in Birmingham. The energy in the room w...
Oliver Leith: will o wisp | Manchester Collective
Переглядів 1,1 тис.4 місяці тому
Based on an old English legend, ‘will o wisp’ inhabits a folkloric world. In this new commission for Manchester Collective and the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra, Oliver Leith creates a buzz of confusion, inviting us to a strange and alluring place. You’ll find woozy, drunken variations in pitch and harmony, strings imitating alpine horns, and sounds which come in and out of focus, but which never...
Gustav Mahler: Urlicht | Ruby Hughes & Manchester Collective
Переглядів 7915 місяців тому
‘Urlicht’ (‘Primordial Light’) starts gently and solemnly - before building towards a truly transcendent finale. Taken from Mahler’s ‘Resurrection’ Symphony, it follows someone on their deathbed as they defy an angel to be reborn in heaven. In soprano Ruby Hughes’ words, this is “the Mahlerian version of ‘what’s going to happen when I die?’ It’s reflective and it’s hopeful but it’s not exultant...

      After a bit of looking around, looks like the original Mahler wrote is actually this instrumentation - only strings and harp. All other instruments are tacet for this movement.

    Mahler didn’t score his 9th symphony for 16 musicians, but the Klaus Simon reduced version provided me with one of my life’s most astonishingly intense musical evenings. I think the emphasis flung here on the voice is also extraordinarily effective.
