Stars from Heaven Ives Ensemble & Keren Motseri

Premieres by Richard Rijnvos and Piet-Jan van Rossum

In Riflesso sull’aria, echoes of the past shimmer like stars across a musical sky. Beneath the surface, the reflection of music that Stravinsky and Ravel composed after they heard Arnold Schönberg’s Pierrot Lunaire shimmers. Altough Rijnvos’s echo of an echo contains not a single note by Ravel, Stravinsky or Schönberg, their presence is unmistakable. In Piet-Jan van Rossum’s music, too, the past glimmers and sparkles. He brings forgotten sounds back to life, polishing them with a new radiance.
