Helmut Lachenmann
Accanto Music for a clarinetist with orchestra / Consolation I for 12 voices and 4 percussionists / Kontrakadenz for large-scale orchestra

On the occasion of Helmut Lachenmann's 75th birthday on 27 November 2010, WERGO presents a CD re-release of the reference recordings for his works "Accanto", "Consolation I" and "Kontrakadenz", which had already been published on LP in 1985.
"Here we must depart from a conception that only accepts the 'showy' side of sound, usually promoted as a medium for a certain kind of spurious social ostentation", the conductor Clytus Gottwald wrote about Lachenmann's "sound realism". Lachenmann creates "music that removes the false aspects of sounds by returning sound to its natural realm".
