Luc Brewaeys: Symphony No.2, Symphony No.6, Préludes Book
Ten years after the death of Luc Brewaeys (1959-2015), organizers, orchestras, ensembles, and other partners are joining forces to present a season-long, rich cross-section of the music of one of Flanders’ most remarkable composers.
With Ilan Volkov at the helm, the Brussels Philharmonic has chosen the 2nd and 6th Symphonies: in the latter, Brewaeys brings together everything he embodies – the rich colors of 20th-century spectralism, a daring orchestral arrangement, and the confrontation with electronics. Clearly influenced by this spirit, Daan Janssens has written a new concerto for violin, orchestra, and surround electronics. The sharp focus on timbre, sudden outbursts, abundant resonance, and additional electronics make his work perfectly suited for this occasion.
