Fantasie

Harfenklänge und Erzählungen nach E.T.A. Hoffmann – ein Konzert zwischen Traum und Wirklichkeit 

A breath of fantasy runs through this concert : music and literature intertwine, and the harp becomes a storyteller. In Conte fantastique by André Caplet, Edgar Allan Poe’s tale The Masque of the Red Death is transposed into music – from the harp’s dark sonorities to the fatal twelve strokes of midnight.

E.T.A. Hoffmann, both composer and master of fantastic literature, unites words and sounds: a great admirer of Mozart and Beethoven, his compositions are rooted in the classical style, in contrast to his literary work which opens toward the Romantic spirit.

In 1944, Jacques Ibert’s Trio for Violin, Cello and Harp juxtaposes a light French spirit against the shadows of war. Finally, Markus Brönnimann’s El canto quiere ser luz (2020) unfolds a mysterious and contrasting soundscape, imbued with a yearning for light.

Texts from the world of fantastic literature – notably by E.T.A. Hoffmann – accompany the musical works and extend their literary imagination.
