Langgaard: Music of the Spheres & Four Tone Pictures

A wonderfully gifted child, the Danish composer Rued Langgaard (1893-1952) occupies a completely unique place in the history of music, in which he is only just beginning to feature. A virtuoso organist at the age of eleven, he composed a First Symphony at the age of seventeen. An hour long, it was performed for the first time by no less than the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra in 1913. But Langgaard was too visionary, too original, too far from fashion and the common world to be successful.He was forty-seven when he finally got an official position as an organist on the west coast of Jutland (Jylland in Danish), a remote province with no connection to the musical life of the Danish capital. An idealist, isolated in absolute solitude, this strange composer wrote music that was full of peculiarities, complex and confusing, a good half-century ahead of the evolution of the musical language at the end of the 20th century.Composed in 1918, the Music of the Spheres for a solo soprano, choir, organ and distant orchestra waited fifty years for its premiere, under the astonished eyes of György Ligeti, who immediately and humorously declared upon discovering this music that he was "an imitator of Langgaard without knowing it!" A lovely admission of admiration from one of the most original composers of the end of the last century. A sound object that is difficult to identify, this music is incredibly innovative with its notions of endless space, height, and depth between light and shadow. It touches on philosophy with its apocalyptic ending, expressing the conflict between Christ and Antichrist before dissolving into the cosmos.Under the generic title 4 Tone Pictures, the four songs for voice and orchestra appearing on the same album date from the same time. Their late romantic musical language is sometimes quite similar to that of Music of the Spheres. Created only in 1980, these four pieces were recorded here for the first time. It took a conductor as out of the ordinary and as peculiar as Gennady Rozhdestvensky to bring this astonishing music to life, recorded in 1996 in Copenhagen in the large concert hall of the Danish Radio. © François Hudry/Qobuz
