C'est un vendredi 13, en 1972, que le Fairchild F-227 qui transportait une équipe de rugbymen uruguayens s'écrasait dans les Andes. Cet accident allait donner naissance à une légende. Soixante-douze jours durant, les survivants de ce crash vécurent sur un glacier à 3500 mètres d'altitude, au milieu des cadavres et des débris de la carlingue. Seuls au monde, ils luttèrent contre le froid et le désespoir - n'ayant bientôt d'autre choix que de manger la chair de leurs compagnons morts. …

Fire Ritual, the concerto that lends its name to the present disc, was composed with Hemsing in mind. With it Tan Dun has created a musical ceremony for the victims of war, building on four themes: Cruel Wars, Innocent People, Mantras of the Heavenly Birds and Eternity. The concerto was premièred in September 2018 by Hemsing and the Oslo Philharmonic, conducted by the composer. For Eldbjørg Hemsing, Tan Dun has also created the concerto that opens the disc, Rhapsody and Fantasia, based on earlier works. Both works reflect the composer’s memories of growing up barefoot in the countryside, and his later experiences of bringing together the shamanistic and spiritual world of his childhood with the discipline and philosophy of Peking Opera. Or in the composers own words: ‘a reflection of those early memories of my youth, but through the lens of my current musical soundscape’.

Tan Dun: Water Passion After St. Matthew (2002)  Music

______________________

Composer Tan Dun’s take on Bach’s masterwork fuses Eastern and Western musical traditions, performed with full chorus, violin, cello, electronics, and (of course) water. Seventeen illuminated water bowls, a metaphor for the unity of eternal rituals, dominate Tan Dun's setting of Saint Matthew. The musical texture is punctuated by monk chants, Tuvan overtone singing, Chinese-opera vocal techniques, and electronically processed sounds of ancient string instruments to suggest an atmosphere both archaic and timeless. This recording does its best to capitalize on the absence of the visual and because it is a captured live recording, both the tension and message that is oddly present are as well done as can be expected. Time will tell whether this music is lasting and viable, but for the moment Tan Dun has found a responsive audience for his interesting investigation of the sounds of the world of nature.

“What is very little heard in European or Western music is the presence of sound as the voice of nature. So that we are led to hear in our music human beings talking only to themselves. It is clear in the music of Tan Dun that sounds are central to the nature in which we live but to which we have too long not listened. Tan Dun’s music is one we need as the east and the west come together as our one home.”
—John Cage

Tan Dun’s originality has been reflected in worldwide recognition of his music, which draws on both Chinese and Western musical languages. The Eight Memories in Watercolor are deft painterly reflections, while in Traces he balances sound with silence in this evocation of nature. The vibrant drama of Blue Orchid incorporates the opening motif of Beethoven’s Diabelli Variations.
