Alpha Classics continues its collaboration with the Ensemble Intercontemporain and presents a program devoted to compositions by its conductor and artistic director, Matthias Pintscher. Bereshit, ‘in a beginning’ in Hebrew, is a piece on the subject of divine creation. The architecture of the work refers to the idea of the growth of the elements out of nothingness to their finished state: the colours, the harmonies are therefore always redefined by what precedes and follows them. Songs from Solomon’s garden – still in a highly spiritual dimension – explores amorous passion through the shir ha shirim (Song of Songs). The poetic density of this text is underlined here, with the only repeated phrase of the work taking on a quasi-incantatory signification: ‘shecholat ahava ani’ (for I am sick of love).
