language: german

hans werner henze’s life and work are characterized by an almost overwhelming abundance. this volume, published to mark the 100th anniversary of henze’s birth, can highlight only a few aspects of this, as suggested by the book’s title.
the three essays examine an early self-portrayal by henze from 1954, the compositional structure of his cantata novae de infinito laudes (1961–62), and henze’s friendship and collaboration with the british composer and conductor oliver knussen. despite their different focuses, the three articles have in common that they are based on new, previously unknown, or overlooked sources held by the paul sacher stiftung.

2016 - Alberto Ginastera in Switzerlandalberto ginastera in switzerland essays and documents contents

2016

language: english
[german edition see below]

in 1971, the argentinian composer alberto ginastera (1916–1983) relocated to geneva to make a fresh start with aurora natola (1923–2009), an argentinian cellist resident in switzerland and widowed since 1970.

with this book, published on the occasion of the first centenary of the composer's birth, the paul sacher foundation seeks to retrace the continuities and discontinuities in the previously little-known late phase of ginastera's life and works. it gathers together six essays that illuminate different facets of his late years on the basis of the surviving manuscripts, letters, and other documents.
