naroči novo skladbo in tako ne le poustvarja, temveč aktivno sodeluje
tudi pri ustvarjanju nove glasbe.
Nina de Glerio ne moremo umestiti med etablirane skladatelje slovenske
»klasičnoglasbene« scene, še manj pa med avtorje, ki ustvarjajo v okviru
ostalih konvencionalnih glasbenih področij. Sodi med umetnike, ki so
ubrali svojo pot; njegovo ustvarjanje je sveže in zanimivo in tudi zato
vredno predstavitve v okviru Festivala Maribor.
V nekaterih glasbenih krogih je Nino de Gleria znan in cenjen predvsem
po nekonvencionalnih basovskih linijah ter po oblikovno domiselnem
in izvirnem glasbenem konceptu, ki se kaže kot avantgardističen in futurističen,
bolj ali manj šokanten, poln sarkazma in bojda – pavlihovstva.
The program features Nordic traditional music including Finnish tango as
one of the most enduring and popular music forms in Finland as well as most
typical and rhythmically complex folk music from the Balkans.
Perhaps it is due to the complex and unsettled historical circumstances
throughout the centuries that the music and art of the Balkan nations is
generally deeply emotive, warm and imbued with sincerity for which there
is no comparison. Since times of old Balkan arts have been appealing, and
nowadays when the whole world is open to the emotional and spiritual
movements that come from south-east Europe, Balkan arts are spreading
more than ever.
Theodosii Spassov is unquestionably the greatest virtuoso of Bulgaria’s
shepherd flute, the caval and a leading Bulgarian folk-jazz musician and
composer. In his musical compositions Spassov blends the traditions of folklore
with the latest developments of other musical genres ranging from jazz to
classic. In the last few years he has also written music for symphonic orchestra
and caval. Theodosii Spassov has composed and produced the music for a
number of films (“Granitza / The Border” 1993; “Gori, Gori Ogantche / Burn Fire,
Burn” 1994 etc.). The characteristic sound of his instrument is recognisable also
in recordings from films for which the music was written by Ennio Morricone.
Before listening to music from the Balkans, the concert program offers the
premiere of a new piece by Nino de Gleria. Every year Festival Maribor not
only showcases some of Slovenia’s most talented musicians, but it also commissions
a new musical work by a Slovenian composer, thus taking an active
role in not just performing but also creating new music.
Nino De Gleria cannot be placed among established composers of the Slovene
“classical music” scene, even less among authors who create within
the frame of other conventional music spheres. He belongs among artists
who have chosen their own path in the music world; his creations are fresh
and interesting and therefore well worth presenting at Festival Maribor. In
some music circles, Nino de Gleria is known and esteemed above all for his
unconventional bass lines, and for his creative and original musical concept,
which reflect as avantguardistic and futuristic, more or less shocking, full of
sarcasm and supposedly – buffoonery.
