Label: Art into Life - AIL040

(LP版は4月10日頃の出荷開始となります)

滅多にコンサート録音を残さなかった同国ルーマニア出身の指揮者セルジュ・チェリビダッケに師事、氏から学んだ現象学と指揮法を自身の作風に取り入れ、スペクトル音楽の潮流を牽引する一人と称されながらも、一般のスペクトル楽派とは明らかに一線を画す爆音および摩擦が木霊する強靭な楽曲を残してきた作曲家・指揮者・音楽学者イアンク・ドゥミトレスク。1976年に創設したハイペリオン・アンサンブルを率い国内外で多くのコンサートを展開、90年にはアナ＝マリア・アヴラムと共に自主レーベルEdition Modernを立ち上げ、長年に渡り30タイトル以上もの録音を発表してきたが、昨今の音源出版はほぼ停止状態にあった。



本作は、2016年にロンドンで披露された3部構成からなる”Libelocus”のコンサートを音源化した久々の出版物であり、異彩のスペクトラリストによる爆音アンサンブルから電子音楽まで、一連の作風をライブの流れありのままに纏めたものである。また個人名義による新録を収録したLP音源としては実に37年振りの作品となる。

マスタリングはGiuseppe Ielasiが担当。LP版はDLコード付き。







Romanian composer, conductor, and musicologist Iancu Dumitrescu is often described as one of the leading figures of spectral music, yet he has produced a body of powerful works resonating with explosive sound and friction that places him very much in his own universe. Dumitrescu studied under his compatriot, the conductor Sergiu Celibidache, who rarely left behind concert recordings. From him Dumitrescu absorbed phenomenology and conducting techniques, incorporating them into his own compositional style.
In 1976 he founded the Hyperion Ensemble, leading it in numerous concerts both within Romania and internationally. In 1990 he established the independent label Edition Modern together with Ana-Maria Avram, through which he released more than thirty recordings over many years. In recent years, however, the publication of new recordings had slowed to a trickle.

This work marks a long-awaited new release: a recording of the concert performance of Libelocus, a three-part work performed in London in 2016. It brings together the distinctive style of this singular spectralist—from explosive ensemble passages to electronic music, all contained within the natural flow of a live performance. Moreover, this is the first LP featuring newly recorded material under his own name to be released in thirty-seven years.

Mastered by Giuseppe Ielasi.Vinyl comes with DL code that has all tracks.
