Mere Air

Based on Nemtsov's 2016 opera "Sacrifice" this suite was written and premiered by Klangforum Wien on December 12th,  2022 in Konzerthaus, Vienna. The final movement captured here from the premiere, is a lyrical conclusion to the whole suite featuring the electric guitar as a musical protagonist. I vividly recall the joy of playing the part with its rich microtonal harmonies and tactile textures as it bridged between the musical material coming from the ensemble and the electronics.

Reuven Kazhiloti: Post Scriptum... | Hagai Yodan, piano

Captured live at the Klangspuren festival in Innsbruck, this work by Clara Iannotta offers the ensemble a verity of musical shifts between fragile gestures and sound fractures while the guitar is there to contribute a continuous colour, providing depth, dimension, ground and sky. Absolutely one of my favourite guitar parts in 2020. The ensemble playing is Klangforum Wien, conducted by Johannes Kalitzke.
