IBS-RICERCATA: Great Masters of the 20th Century2019
The three composers who make up this project - Dimitri Shostakovich, Karlheinz Stockhausen and György Ligeti - are, each by their own vital circumstance, survivors of the totalitarianisms that ravaged Europe in the thirties and forties. The chosen works, written in a time interval of approximately a quarter of a century, are exemplary in terms of the reflection of the aesthetic changes of their time. Shostakovich's preludes are imbued with a late neoclassicism opposed by the young people of Darmstadt as Stockhausen, in an alleged tabula rasa after the horror of the war that pushed the postulates of the second Viennese school to the limit. In between, Ligeti opted for a third way clearly indebted to the Bartokian heritage. José Luis Besada

Tomás Marco Piano Works
Tomás Marco deconstructs reality to recompose it and return it interpreted and transformed in a work of art, achieving what Hegel denominated “the sensitive appearance of the idea”, that is, knowledge, which “puts man before himself” and makes of art “a experience that transforms whom experiments it” (Gadamer, Truth and Method) and which, unlike Nietzsche, for whom his time was not radically “his time”, philosophically places him in the time he has to live. Tomás Marco is a man of his time that cultivates, explores and scrutinises with his look that is always critic and never free from enriching eagerness. He fulfils what his time demands him and, as a result, his work is developing as one of the historical reasons of our time.
