ARTIST: Alena Hönigová (piano) PHYSICAL ONLY KLAVIER THOMAS TRACHSEL LAWO HENRIK HELLSTENIUS SYMPHONY NO. 3 “APOCALYPTIC” OPHELIAS: DEATH BY WATER SINGING K11214 | 019688121426 1 CD | SRP US $16.99 CA $20.99 COMPOSER: Thomas Trachsel • Thomas Trachsel completed his studies as a band conductor at the College of Music in Bern with honors in 200. The musical language in his works is based on late romantic traditions, mixed with contemporary elements. His typical styles include portraying melancholic phrases and themes, large-scale suspense, formidable sound breakouts and also orchestration that is extremely demanding in nature. • The title of this symphony, Apocalyptic, is used in Trachsel’s eyes as - for everything that exists between heaven and earth, visible and invisible. • With this work, librettist Cecilie Loveid has taken the Danish myth of Hamlet and the Shakespeare play of the same name and virtually removed most of the men. She has also done away with many of the words. Shakespeare’s deep and strongly expressive brooder has become a rather stuttering figure, with a fragility that is underscored in the music. • Composer Henrik Hellstenius provides Hamlet with a wide scope of vocal articulation. The Prince’s voice traverses the full range, with rapid shifts from child-like melodies through to recitatives and booming, resonant timbres.
