clara iannotta: a failed experiment works 2009-2014

Italian composer Clara Iannotta (born 1983) on her work: "I am particularly interested in music as an existential, physical experience -- music should be seen as well as heard. This is one of the reasons why I sometimes prefer to talk about the choreography of the sound rather than about orchestration." "Clara Iannotta's compositions are marked by a particular intrinsic 'theatricality.' Theatricality in the sense of the physicality of sound, its inner emotion, its excitement, its instrumental genesis out of the silence; the sound is not separated from the gesture that produces it, and is presented in the context of each different instrumental structure" --Dr. Barbara Barthelmes. Clara Iannotta was a guest of the Berliner Künstlerprogramm des DAAD -- Artists-in-Berlin Program in 2013. Performed by Ensemble Intercontemporain conducted by Matthias Pintscher, Ensemble Recherche with Melise Mellinger and Barbara Maurer, Talea Ensemble, Orchestre des Èlèves du Conservatoire National Supérieur de Paris conducted by Tito Ceccherini, Quatuor Diotima, Ensemble Garage with Richard Haynes, and Trio Catch. Includes booklet in German and English.
