| As part of his concert program "Souvenir de Baden" in the "House of Art" there, Nikola Djoric premiered "Rosarium", the latest work by the distinguished contemporary composer Gabriele Proy, who he has been working together with for many years. After several chamber music works, "Rosarium" is now the first piece for accordion solo. “Nature is an important source of inspiration for my work as a composer. My instrumental works as well as my vocal pieces and my soundscape compositions contain many references to nature. Like "holding on to time", my compositions should spread inner peace and regain inner peace even after very dramatic passages. My approach to music is the art of listening: As a composer, I want to offer the listener an intensive listening experience - I also want to hit the nerve of the listener in the field of contemporary music." (Gabriele Proy) Since the composer lives and works in Baden, it is only natural and logical that Austria's largest rose garden, the Baden Rosarium, offered her an endless source of experiences and memories that inevitably led to her latest work and are now also documented in a convincing tonal language. This new original composition for accordion was embedded in works by Couperin, Bach, Beethoven, Rameau, Scarlatti, Liszt/Schubert, Piazzolla and Galliano. With the sound spectrum of the accordion, Djoric explores previously unknown timbres in a repertoire that was not written for this instrument, although he does not make any arrangements, but rather remains faithful to the original musical text. This approach, often unusual for accordionists, has earned Djoric a great deal of respect and recognition in the general music world. Appearances as a soloist and chamber musician on such important concert stages as the Musikverein in Vienna, the Cologne Philharmonic, the Konzerthaus in Berlin, the Gasteig in Munich, the Beethovenfest in Bonn and many others were the logical consequence. Chamber music occupies an important place for Nikola Djoric. With the cellist Valentin Erben (Alban Berg Quartet) he founded the duo "Ex Equo" and with the baritone Bo Skovhus he created a special interpretation of Schubert's Winterreise. One critic attested to Djoric "poetry, power, passion, devotion, control...", all attributes that he also demonstrated on this evening to enrapture his audience with storms of enthusiasm! |
