Péter Eötvös: Percussion concert ‘Speaking Drums’ | Barnabás Fekete | Weimar University Orchestra
The soloist in the percussion concert ‘Speaking Drums’ by Péter Eötvös is Barnabás Fekete. The orchestra of the University of Music FRANZ LISZT Weimar performs under the direction of Prof. Nicolás Pasquet. Barnabás Fekete is a student of Prof. Markus Leoson's percussion class in Weimar. The Hungarian found his way to classical percussion through jazz and playing in various bands. He is currently employed as a temporary solo percussionist in the Jena Philharmonic.
The percussion concerto ‘Speaking Drums’ by the renowned contemporary composer Péter Eötvös – also a Hungarian – is inspired by Indian music and jazz, among other things. In addition to the large percussion apparatus, sound poems by the Hungarian poet Sándor Weöres and the ancient Indian Jayadeva also play a central role. The soloist recites short words and has the drums ‘repeat’ them. An emotional dialogue ensues, with a question-and-answer game between the soloist, his instruments and the orchestra. Later, the music builds to a goblin-like ecstasy, complete with a timpani cadenza.
