In the context of Music Discovery Project, FT will be with Moritz von Oswald and the HR symphony orchestra presenting ‘UrSprung’ (Origin) next January 27th and 28th at Jahrhunderthalle -Frankfurt, DE-.
Music from Bach to Ravel and Rameau to Honegger is the starting point for surprising excursions, transformations and different routes into the musical worlds of classical, jazz, electronics and techno under the direction of José Luís Gómez.
On Dec 1 at 23.35, watch Francesco’s premiere concert of Goldberg City Variations recorded at the Bach Festival in Köthen on German channel MDR.
The recording of Francesco Tristano is particularly ambitious. He developed a visualization for the sound of the Goldberg Variations, he understood Bach’s music as an architectural utopia. The idea for this project goes back to the composer and architect lannis Xenakis and his idea of a “cosmic city”.
Golberg City Variations mixes the fantasy of Xenakis, the greek pioneer who imagined the future of urban re development, with Bach’s variation.
The program includes Goldberg Variations BWV 988 (original and edited by Francesco Tristano).
