It takes some believing: this man celebrated his 100th birthday last December – and he is still composing! Elliott Carter is undoubtedly one of the most outstanding composers from the United States of America. Hardly surprising that Daniel Barenboim, who is known to be one of the greatest admirers of Carter’s music, fell for two of his concertos when devising this programme. Particularly with two soloists at hand, who have already premiered Carter’s compositions. Nicolas Hodges gave the first performance of his piano concerto called Dialogues in 2004. Emmanuel Pahud, the Berliner Philharmoniker’s principal flutist, first played the flute concerto under Barenboim in Jerusalem in September 2008. Carter kept putting off a flute concerto for a long time, because he felt that the instrument could not produce the sharp attacks that he loves so much in his music. Finally he succumbed its agility and the sheer beauty of its tone, and dedicated this concert to the wind instrument. Two additional works figure as the corresponding antipodes of the evening, by the master of instrumentation, who inspired Carter as he did many others: Richard Strauss.

カーターの作品は初めて聴きました。チェロ・ヴァイオリン二台によるコンチェルトでは、それぞれが全く違う旋律、いや、それどころか、全く違う世界にいるという話を知っていましたが、このフルートコンチェルト、ピアノコンチェルトも、不意をつく曲創りで、私にはまだ意図するところがつかめませんでした・・・でも、ダニエル（←なれなれしくかきます）は、彼の作品に陶酔しているようですね。シュトラウス一曲目は、オケ弾きになるためには、絶対に欠かせない一品、ドン・ファンでした。オケスタのことを忘れて聴くと、こんなに爽やかな曲なんですね（涙）ティルは、最後の最後の終わり方が粋でした！ダニエルは、演技派だな～。
