Grand Duo: New Edition by : Magnus Lindberg
New edition of this 1999-2000 dialogue between the two orchestral families of woodwind and brass; each with their respective material. Their initial characters; equating to the poetic stereotypes of 'masculine' and 'feminine'; become progressively blurred and androgynised during the course of the work as larger sound masses give way to chamber music-style sub-groupings and individual instrumental solos. The wind-only scoring of the work posed various compositional challenges. The composer has stated that 'if no-one is playing; nothing is heard'; so the illusion of sustained sound has to be created without the support of a string section. Similarly; clear attack and accentuation have to be carefully sculpted; as there is no percussion to help articulation. In the wordsof the London Times; “Lindberg; a master of orchestral sound; has chosen virtually the same forces as Stravinsky in his Symphonies of Wind Instruments; and with its five connected movements Gran Duo is a symphony in the modern sense...a darkly brooding yet peaceful work that reflects something of a unique landscape.”
