Damon Albarn’s Mozart spin-off »The Magic Flute II« is replete with synths and spectacle, but does it truly capture opera’s essence – or merely its aesthetics?

From Factory Floor to Operatic Frustration
Jenny Wilson’s first opera – an adaptation of Elfriede Jelinek’s »Women as Lovers« – delivers sharp theatricality and biting satire but struggles to find its musical voice.

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.

kritik
Når lyd bliver krop og kamp
»Bodies of Sound« samler kvinders og non-binæres refleksioner over lyd som erfaring, strategi og modstand. Bogen bør læses af enhver med interesse for lyd som andet og mere end blot musik.
