This splendidly instrumented work successfully combines 20th-century musical language with the antique elements deriving from its theme - for example, in the first movement we immediately find an ancient Greek asymmetrical rhythm. The second movement takes us on an adventurous journey to those astonishing geological wonders, the Meteoras the third movement presents a picture of the Delphic dancers, in its title the fourth movement indicates the form used in it, which preserves the unity between the thousands-of-years-old building and its contrasting environment, echoing to the music of the bouzouki. In the suite the composer expertly exploits the possibilities of instrumentationoffered by the wind orchestra, this extremely effective work can be a rewarding concert piece for any ensemble. (Recorded by Mirasound on CD 'Salute from Hungary' wwm 500.009 for World Wind Music label - www.worldwindmusic.nl ). Dieses Werk von István Bogár ist eines der ungarischen Stücke für Blasorchester, welches in den letzten Jahrzehnten international einen großen Erfolg erntete. Es entstand im Auftrag des Ungarischen Rundfunks, seine Erstaufführung fand 1982 statt. Das grossartig instrumentierte Werk vereint erfolgreich die musikalische Sprache des 20. Jahrhunderts mit den vom Thema vorgegebenen, antiken Elementen. Ein Beispiel hierzu ist gleich im ersten Satz ‚Thessaloniki' ein altgriechischer, asymmetrischer Rhythmus. Der zweite Satz führt uns zu einem verblüffenden geologischen Wunder, den Meteoren, im dritten Satz wird das Bild der Delphi-Tänzer gezeichnet. Im vierten Teil (‚Athen') wird diegebrauchte Form schon im Titel angekündigt: Diese verewigt die kontrastierende Einheit der mehrere Jahrtausend alten Akropolis und ihr von Bouzouki-Musik lautes Umfeld (‚Plaka'). Der Komponist nutzt in der Suite die vom Blasorchester vermittelten Instrumentierungsmöglichkeiten meisterhaft aus. Thessaloniki (danse de Macédoine) • Meteora • Delphi (danse antique) • Athènes (Acropolis, le quartier Plaka) En composant son oeuvre Hellas, le compositeur hongrois, István Bogár, a renoué avec ses racines grecques. La superbe trame orchestrale combine le langage musical du XXe siècle avec des éléments de la musique grecque antique. Les quatre mouvements sont techniquement exigeants et exploitent toutes les possibilités d’une formation vent. Une oeuvre enrichissante !Un brano dalla splendida strumentazione, composto anche per ricordare le origini in parte greche del compositore, che abbina al linguaggio musicale del XX° secolo elementi antichi. I quattro movimenti Thessaloniki (Danza proveniente dalla Macedonia), Meteora, Delphi (Antica danza) e Athens compongono insieme un brano da concerto esigente ma allo stesso tempo molto gratificante.

Daedalus Remembers is the third part in a trilogy called 3 for Icarus. Daedalus was Icarus' father and a famous craftsman. He once forged a magic sword for Peleus which had a property of making its owner victorious in battle, and he also created the labyrinth of King Minos of Crete in which the Minotaur (half bull, half man) was imprisoned. The second part of the trilogy is entitled Minotaur Games after Troy games, a kind of labyrinthine dance involving cords (Ariadne's thread?). At one point in the myth Daedalus and Icarus are also imprisoned in the labyrinth. They escape by means of wings which Daedalus has made from feathers and wax. Sadly, despite his father's warnings, Icarus flies too close to the sun in a fit of hubris, and the wings melt, causing him to plunge to his death. Daedalus alights safely on a beach in Sardinia, and after he has collected his thoughts remembers his son's fall and scenes from his own past life. Have the gods paid him back for the death of his nephew Talos, whom Daedalus killed in a fit of jealousy by pushing him off the top of a temple in the Acropolis? Daedalus rants and sorrows - dark memories nag persistently. Daedalus Remembers is scored for solo cello with flugelhorn, two horns, percussion, cimbalom, harp, three violas, four cellos and two double-basses.

Composer's Note Once, we had a joint conception to create a concert telling a life story. The premiere was planned to take place on the Acropolis in Athens. It was intended to be a large event, a hybrid of a mystery play and an opera. Krzysztof Kieslowski would be the director, Krzysztof Piesiewicz was responsible for the script, and I was planning to compose the music. We thought it might be the first of a series of musical performances, to be developed in various interesting places around the world in the next few years. But it was life that authored a different ending: Krzysztof Kieslowski died in March of 1996. The first part of Requiem for My Friend is meant as a farewell to Krzysztof Kieslowski. I dedicate this music to him. Zbigniew Preisner.

The great Greek composer Theodorakis (who turns 90 in 2015) worked on this lyric tragedy for years, in his house opposite the Acropolis, and, according to him, immersed himself in the universal harmony he was looking for.Picc. *2 * 2 (2. auch Engl.H.) * 2 *2 - 4 * 3 * 3 * 1 - P.
