Fhren Mit Humor Ein Gruppendynamisches Erfolgskonzept

Waren politische Akteure früher primär das Objekt kritischer Spitzen in Satire und Komik, so sind sie gegenwärtig zunehmend als aktive Subjekte daran beteiligt.

Pianist Matthieu Cognet explodes the myth of ‘serious’ classical music with a recital focussing on music played ‘mit humor’ - with humour, in works by Haydn, Prokofiev, Robert Schumann and Bartok.
Matthieu Cognet has chosen for this album music that possesses good humour, whether sardonic, quirky or witty, but he has also embraced the subtler implications of the album’s title. The German word ‘Humor’ has more nuanced connotations than comedy alone, implying a broader spectrum of feeling, just as the Greek ‘four humours’ referred to a range of temperaments. This in turn broadens the musical scope of this programme to embrace the subtleties, the light and shade, of humour within music.
