Performer: Anders Nyqvist

A world première by a Czech composer highlights a strong outing by Klangforum Wien.

The Klangforum Wien has had its own row of subscription concerts at the Konzerthaus for the past 22 seasons, and a constant during that time has been the regular programming of Austrian composers.

The Klangforum Wien is such a disciplined ensemble that for them ever to be remotely fazed or challenged by a piece, even those works with Ferneyhough-like unfulfillable demands, is scarcely imaginable.

Der helle durchdringende Trompetenklang des Solisten Anders Nyqvist bildete den roten Faden durch oft drohende Ensemblebegleitung.
