The Mozart Nyman Concert – Sebastian Knauer
Chamber music
Tuesday 27 July 2021
7.30 pm, Zweisimmen Church
Everyone is familiar with the soaring theme of Jane Campion's “The Piano”, or the almost equally characteristic features of Peter Greenaway's film soundtracks, of which he is, so to speak, the “regular” composer; Michael Nyman is not so readily associated with so-called “pure” music, yet his catalogue is equally impressive in this respect. In a promising dialogue with Mozart, Sebastian Knauer reminds us of this, with that touch of originality which is typical of most of his projects – such as the latest one, postponed because of the pandemic: “Ludwig Fun Beethoven”... which speaks for itself!
