Nicolas Hodges, Neue Vocalsolisten Stuttgart, Nieuw Ensemble, Jurjen Hempel - Brian Ferneyhough: Shadowtime

Described as a "thought opera", Brian Ferneyhough's Shadowtime sets Charles Bernstein's inventive and complex libretto based on the work, life and imagined death of philosopher and cultural critic Walter Benjamin: it includes a movement for a speaking pianist - Opus contra naturam, the opera's fourth scene - a guitar concerto (Scene II) and ends in an ethereal haze of voices and electronics, Stelae for Failed Time. The performers are all internationally known for their commitment to contemporary music.

Reviews

"Listening on disc reveals unsuspected beauty in the unparalleled stylistic complexity."
Paul Driver, The Sunday Times
