Camerata Variabile

In the second concert of the season, «Status Quo: Vanitas», Camerata Variabile devotes itself entirely to the fascination of descent. Falling lines in the basses represent tragic and deep emotions that span from baroque to pop music.
In «Autoconcert» by Hungarian composer Vydovszky, the audience is directly confronted with falling objects. The art of ceremoniously celebrating descent in music opens up a different perspective on phenomena that are otherwise often viewed with apprehension: falling stock market prices and social decline, the «becoming less» and the low point at the end of the fall. The lute, with Locke, Purcell and Cavalli, leads us into the great past of the infinitely descending lament bass, while contrasting bold duos by Furrer, Widmann and Winkelman offer a rich kaleidoscope of contemporary voices. Particularly noteworthy are the world premiere of Antoine Fachard's work, written especially for this programme, and Morton Feldman's quartet.
