Wann krieg ich mal a Kopie der Partitur? :-)

KELADOS in D
for flute and clarinet
Kelados (ancient Greek word) means: noise of rushing waters, loud, screaming, agitation (Aeschylus) and musical sound (Euripides). Also, it means sound, voice of providential
laws (Pindar).
The work describes all these contrasting emotional tones.
It is written in one of the multiharmonic, multispectral ways that I have devised and use.
The specific ways are based upon new formations of sounds beyond the 8va and consist of much smaller intervals of semitones.
Flute: George Skrivanos, Clarinet: Alexander Michaelides

Kelados For Flute And Clarinet

This is the premiere performance of Geoffrey Gordon's Concerto for Cello and Orchestra, after Thomas Mann's novel, Doktor Faustus. Commissioned for the Copenhagen Philharmonic, and their principle cello, Toke Møldrup, this performance, from the Royal Danish Academy of Music (January 31, 2014), features guest conductor, Rory Macdonald. The recording was made possible by Danish Radio, and includes the broadcast commentary (in Danish) at the conclusion of the performance.  To listen to the complete concert from which this is drawn--including works by Wagner and Sibelius--please visit Danish Radio archives, here: http://www.dr.dk/radio/ondemand/p2/p2-koncerten-539#!/

"Finally, it was the cello concerto’s haunting and understated terror which stayed in the body long after the evening's last notes had faded out.” 

-Christine Christiansen
Morgenavisen Jyllands-posten, Feb. 1, 2014

"This is a magnificent concerto; one hopes it will join the repertoire. In terms of scope, one might perhaps make comparisons with Dutilleux’s Cello Concerto, “Tout un monde lointain …”; but Gordon’s voice is all his own."
