Matthias HermannAbout
Helmut Lachenmann, born in Stuttgart in 1935, is one of the most renowned German composers of contemporary music. He studied piano, music theory and counterpoint in Stuttgart and composition with Luigi Nono in Venice. The first public performances of his works took place in 1962 at the Venice Biennale and at the Darmstadt Summer Courses for New Music. He taught composition in Hanover (1976-1981) and in Stuttgart (1981-1999), and gave numerous master classes in Germany and abroad. His works are performed by internationally renowned players and orchestras all over the world. Helmut Lachenmann has received numerous awards, most recently the GEMA German Music Authors' Prize for his life's work (2015).
The six-part composition My Melodies for eight horns and orchestra was composed between 2016 and 2018, revised for the first time in 2019, and then again in 2023 as the musica viva Munich version. It was commissioned by Bavarian Radio’s musica viva with the support of the Friends of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra e.V. The premiere of the 2018 version took place on 7 June 2018 in the Herkulessaal of the Munich Residenz as part of BR's musica viva concert series, with the horn section and the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by Peter Eötvös. This recording is a live recording of the premiere of the Munich 2023 version of 23 June 2023 from the Herkulessaal, again as part of BR's musica viva concert series, with the horn section and the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, this time conducted by Matthias Hermann. The CD also features fourteen bonus tracks and a recording of a conversation between the composer and Johann Jahn about the musica viva premiere of My Melodies from 2018.
