Petr Eben (22.01.1929-24.10.2007) - современный чешский композитор, музыка которого не похожа, пожалуй, ни на какую другую... :rolleyes:

За всю свою карьеру Petr Eben создал более 200 произведений, включая сочинения для фортепиано и органа, оркестровые и камерные композиции, кантаты, музыку для детей и многое другое. Среди наиболее известных его сочинений: органный цикл "Job", оратория "Sacred Symbols" для Собора в Зальцбурге, "Windows" (четыре фрагмента для органа и трубы, посвящённые Марку Шагалу), и "Prague Te Deum".
Petr Eben представлял свою музыку по всему миру, давая импровизационные фортепианные и органные концерты в таких залах, как Paris' Notre Dame, Royal Festival Hall в Лондоне и Crystal Cathedral в Garden Grove в Калифорнии. В 1991 году он получил французский титул Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres и высшую чешскую награду "Medal of Merit" в 2002 году.


Petr Eben (1929-2007) is a major composer of contemporary organ music whose compositions enjoy great international renown. The interpretation recorded on this CD series was largely influenced by the composer's personal suggestions and comments. The series compiles all of Eben's works for solo organ which have been published to this date, played by Gunther Rost on various contemporary instruments.

EBEN: Faust, Mutationes

There have been several recordings recently of the works of Petr Eben (b 1929). I reviewed his Faust in January / February 2002 and Mutationes in September / October 2002, both played by Halgier Schiager.

In this new release Gunther Rost plays Faust and Mutationes on the 62-stop, four-manual Goll organ in St Martin's Church, Memmingen, near the Lake of Constance. The organ sounds splendid and seems well suited for Eben's work, with its demands for rapid stop changes and many colors.

Eben's work is episodic and programmatic, with quick alterations not only in mood but in style. Rost is by far the best player of this music I've heard. He manages the shifts in style so skillfully that it sounds easy to do, though it certainly could not be. I enjoy this record and I expect to hear more from this fine organist.

EBEN: Faust, Mutationes

In letzter Zeit gibt es mehrere Einspielungen des Orgelwerkes von Petr Eben (*1929). In der Januar / Februar-Ausgabe 2002 habe ich seinen Faust und in der September / Oktober-Ausgabe seine Mutationes besprochen, beide gespielt von Halgier Schiager.

Auf dieser neuen Veröffentlichung spielt Gunther Rost sowohl den Faust als auch die Mutationes auf der viermanualigen Goll-Orgel (62 Register) der Martinskirche Memmingen (nahe dem Bodensee). Die Orgel klingt herrlich und scheint für Ebens Werk, das schnelle Registerwechsel und eine große Farbenvielfalt erfordert, gut geeignet.

Ebens Werk, das episodisch und programmatisch aufgebaut ist, beinhaltet schnelle Wechsel in Stimmung und Stil. Rost ist der bei weitem beste Interpret dieser Musik, den ich je gehört habe. Ihm gelingen die Stilwechsel so gekonnt, dass es sich leicht anhört, obwohl dies sicherlich unmöglich ist. Mir gefällt diese Aufnahme, und ich gehe davon aus, in Zukunft noch mehr von diesem hochkarätigen Organisten zu hören.
