Gut hundert Jahre nach Peter Iljitsch Tschaikowsky Tod erfreuen sich seine Werke beim Publikum und in der Fachwelt nach wie vor grosster Beliebtheit und haben ihren festen Platz im Konzert- und Opernrepertoire: die popularen Ballettmusiken wie Dornroschen, Schwanensee und Nussknacker, die grossen Opern von Pique Dame bis Eugen Onegin, die Sinfonien und Klavierkonzerte - Musik, die den grossen russischen Meister hat unsterblich werden lassen.Der englische Musikwissenschaftler David Brown, ein ausgewiesener Kenner der russischen Musik, hat aus Memoiren, Monographien und Zeitungsberichten eine Fulle zeitgenossischer Texte zusammengetragen, die ein ebenso lebendiges wie schillerndes Bild des Menschen und Kunstlers Tschaikowsky ergeben. Familienmitglieder und Freunde, Mitschuler und Lehrerkollegen vom Konservatorium, Musiker und Dirigenten, Komponisten und Musikkritiker berichten von ihren Begegnungen mit diesem aussergewohnlichen, im personlichen Umgang nicht immer einfachen Mann, von seinen beruflichen Erfolgen und privaten Katastrophen. Der Lebensweg des Sohnes aus grossburgerlichem Hause - von der juristischen Ausbildung uber das Moskauer Konservatorium bis zum Komponisten und Dirigenten von Weltruf, von der gescheiterten Ehe bis zu den mysteriosen Umstanden seines Todes - wird aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven nachgezeichnet.

AGNI by Bernd Franke is a 17-minute work for Bass Clarinet and Orchestra. Agni is the Hindu god of fire and at the same time the elemental and transformative force inherent in everything. In illustrations, Agni is depicted with seven tongues, which stand for the different aspects of his being: creating, sustaining, purifying, priestly, warlike, devastating, destroying, consuming. In the eponymous concerto for bass clarinet and orchestra, Bernd Franke traces the transformation processes initiated by the divine fire in compositional terms. The work was first performed on 23 November 2019 in Großenhain by Volker Hemken (bass clarinet) and Elbland Philharmonie conducted by Ekkehard Klemm.
The full score is available for sale as part of the Peters Contemporary Library. The performance material is available for rent.

Dämonen (Ein Kinderlied) – English: Demons (A Children's Song) – by Arnulf Herrmann is a 21-minute work for orchestra and a record with the children's song Die Blümelein, sie schlafen (The little flowers are sleeping). On it, white noise and historical fragments of this song, preserved in various versions, can be heard. The recording is interwoven with the orchestra, sets the tempo and, not least, provides the timeframe by limiting it to the duration of one record side. But the end is only technical: The needle lifts, but the song is not over.
The premiere took place on 16 October 2022 at the Donaueschinger Musiktage, with the SWR Symphony Orchestra conducted by Bas Wiegers.
The full score (EP 14634) is available for sale as part of the Peters Contemporary Library. The performance material can be hired.
