Music to breathe life into literary characters, or to recall forever the memory of a cherished friend, or simply to reflect the multifarious temperaments of an orchestra: Cristóbal Halffter transforms his keen insights into tangible sound.
Each of theses three commissioned works was composed for an important occasion. The Dortmund Variations were composed to mark the hundredth birthday of the Dortmund Philharmonic Orchestra, Tiento for Paul Sacher’s eightieth birthday, and Odradek on the occasion of the Czech Philharmonic’s hundredth birthday. Halffter demonstrates yet again that he is a composer of international importance.
