Punk er død, og opera har det heller ikke for godt
Damon Albarns Mozart-spin-off »The Magic Flute II« er fyldt med synths og spektakel, men fanger den virkelig operaens essens – eller kun dens æstetik?

kritik
Hvem sagde, at det enkle skulle være enkelt?
Tre album med musik for strygekvartet – og det, der ligner – af Jürg Frey, Simon Christensen og Anders Lauge Meldgaard opsøger på hver sin måde musikalsk enkelhed. Men de vil helt forskellige ting med den.

Who said that simplicity should be simple?
Three albums with music for string quartet – and the likes – by Jürg Frey, Simon Christensen, and Anders Lauge Meldgaard each approach musical simplicity in their own way. But they aim for entirely different things with it.
