KURZBESCHREIBUNG
Born in 1959, Arnaud Petit studied with Luciano Berio. In addition to composing, he has taught at IRCAM, Stanford University and the Conservatoire National Superieur de Musique de Paris. Petit's oeuvre includes opera, vocal, orchestral and chamber music as well as film soundtracks. Concertino Nervoso, the major work on this disc, is based on the dramatic potential of percussion. In it, a solo percussionist, played here by Fabrice Marandola, acts as a kind of deus ex machina. Pairing the soloist with electronics, Concertino Nervoso explores an imaginary link between percussion and various sound worlds, between live performance and it's computer double.

REZENSION
Die verblüffendste Neuheit aber kommt von der Harfenistin Lavinia Meijer, die Klavier- und Orchesterwerke von Philip Glass auf ihr Instrument übertragen hat. Der Komponist (Jahrgang 1937) ist selbst fasziniert: Die suggestiv kreisenden Motive aus 'metarmorphosis' klingen nun, als wären Pianos, Lauten und Gitarren beteiligt, aber es ist allein Lavinias Zauberharfe zu hören - fantastisch!
