    Seeing Africa: Studies in World Art, Book 70 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 7min
    The Tate Britain’s "display", Seeing Africa - it was hardly big enough to be called a proper exhibition - raised more questions than it answered. Consisting of paintings and sculptures drawn from a single private collection, it aimed to explore the subject of Africanisme through images of African people and African landscape made by European painters who traveled to the Dark Continent at the height of the colonial epoch. That is to say between the 1870s and the 1950s. The focus of the collection was the vast Central African territory that was first called the Congo Free State when it was the private possession of King Léopold II of Belgium and later, simply the Belgian Congo. Not surprisingly, the majority of the artists represented were Belgian. Most were very minor figures in art historical terms, though there were one or two who were a little better known, chief among them Floris Jespers, best described as a slightly belated Belgian Cubist, with points of resemblance to Fernand Léger. ungekürzt.

    Wild Boy: What I Want to Tell You , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 78min
    From the Kalahari Desert, to the jungles of Sierra Leone, to swinging '60s London, to France, to India and beyond, Dragon Door publisher John Du Cane has led a Forrest Gump-like life of encounters with the great, the bizarre, the dangerous, and the downright depraved. With a laconic, visceral, image-laden style reminiscent of Bob Dylan's cryptic lyrics, Du Cane delivers a set of compelling tales that exude a raw passion, a wry sense of humor, and some penetrating spiritual insights. Like a Picasso portrait from his Cubist period, these are bits and pieces that, put together, make up a face. In this case the multifaceted face of a complex visionary and innovator who changed the face of modern fitness. What did Mick Jagger's wife, Bianca, give John for the first time in his life? How and where did he meet Sharon Tate, shortly before she was murdered by the Charlie Manson gang? Why was John arrested and detained in the number one prison for the criminally insane in the United States? And so much more... ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Du Cane.

    George Condo
    The definitive monograph on the iconoclastic painter George Condo.With his arresting, unsettling style, George Condo emerged out of the dynamism of the New York art scene in the early 1980s, and he has been restlessly painting, drawing and sculpting - bringing forms into the world in one way or another - ever since. With his 'fake' Old Masters, reconfigured Manets, impossibly intricate paintings that seem abstract only from a distance, fractured and multifaceted 'psychologically Cubist' portraits, and the orgiastic misdemeanours of a host of butlers, bankers and priests, Condo has invented, mastered and expanded not just one painterly language but an entire lexicon. Working closely with Condo, Simon Baker has combined biographical, chronological and thematic approaches to survey the artist's work and career to date. An introductory essay on Condo's contradictory nature and a chapter exploring his phenomenal early career are followed by three thematic chapters that look at the years from 1984 to the present, tracing Condo's systematic reconstruction of the techniques of painting, exploring his relationship to the concept of abstraction, and probing the darker side of his psychological iconography in drawing, painting, sculpture and writing. George Condo is the definitive monograph about a unique artist that will appeal to artists, art students and those with a general interest in art.

    Stefan Gierowski
    In paintings from Stefan Gierowski's first, figurative creative stage, one can notice traces of a post-cubist rhythmisation of a form and simplifications borrowed from the naïve art. Around 1957, the artist stepped into non-figurative painting, which became his main area of interest. He started painting abstract compositions, in which the intellectual factor, manifesting itself in a clear composition, was dominated by emotions. Already at that time, his paintings included an announcement of the issues related to light, space, and movement, which eventually reigned in his practice. Around 1960, Gierowski's works started demonstrating an inclination towards a geometric structuring of paintings. The artist was gradually discarding the emotional and intimate atmosphere. He started using a more simplified language, narrowed down the colour range, and applied the colour accents on the borders of a canvas. Through colour, Gierowski implies a certain spatial order in his paintings. The colours are arranged into stripes with a different hue and lucidity, which conjures the matter of the space. Lines split the painting into areas, while light connotations carry a tension. In the 1970s, Gierowski organised his canvas compositions exclusively through colour gradients to later counterpose large areas of differently toned colour. In his paintings from the 80s, the emotional impact of colour became prominent, while Gierowski began expressing himself in a more subjective, or even spiritual manner. Skira is publishing his first international monograph in conjunction with the Foundation Stefan Gierowski. The monograph features essays by David Anfam (writer, curator and leading authority on American modern art), Michel Gauthier (curator at Centre Pompidou) and Stach Szablowski (independent curator, art critic and columnist).

    Picasso and the Painting That Shocked the World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 928min
    When Picasso became Picasso: the story of how an obscure young painter from Barcelona came to Paris and made himself into the most influential artist of the 20th century In 1900, an 18-year-old Spaniard named Pablo Picasso made his first trip to Paris. It was in this glittering capital of the international art world that, after suffering years of poverty and neglect, he emerged as the leader of a bohemian band of painters, sculptors, and poets. Fueled by opium and alcohol, inspired by raucous late-night conversations at the Lapin Agile cabaret, Picasso and his friends resolved to shake up the world. For most of these years Picasso lived and worked in a squalid tenement known as the Bateau Lavoir, in the heart of picturesque Montmartre. Here he met his first true love, Fernande Olivier, a muse whom he would transform in his art from Symbolist goddess to Cubist monster. These were years of struggle, often of desperation, but Picasso later looked back on them as the happiest of his long life. Recognition came slowly: first in the avant-garde circles in which he traveled, and later among a small group of daring collectors, including the Americans Leo and Gertrude Stein. In 1906, Picasso began the vast, disturbing masterpiece known as Les Demoiselles d'Avignon. Inspired by the groundbreaking painting of Paul Cezanne and the startling inventiveness of African and tribal sculpture, Picasso created a work that captured and defined the disorienting experience of modernity itself. The painting proved so shocking that even his friends assumed he'd gone mad. Only his colleague George Braque understood what Picasso was trying to do. Over the next few years they teamed up to create Cubism, the most revolutionary and influential movement in 20th-century art. This is the story of an artistic genius with a singular creative gift. It is filled with heartbreak and triumph, despair and delirium, all of it played out against the backdrop of the ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Malcolm Hillgartner.

    Klavierquintett & Streichquartett
    Both the String Quartet and the Piano Quintet are works of great depth and elegance. Their conservative style disregards the compositional trends of the time and displays an unabashed late-romanticism. Elgar wrote: "It is full of golden sounds and I like it. But you must not expect anything violently chromatic or cubist."

    Poema
    This CD brings together all my works written for cello, the instrument I simply adore. And my greater joy is to have Leonardo Altino as the performer. Leonardo Altino is an exceptionally gifted cellist, whom I consider to be the greatest discovery in the current cello scene in the whole world. Sensitive artist, fit with perfect technique yet always at the service of music, Leonardo Altino is just that, the ideal interpreter for any composer. Along with Ana Lucia Altino, they make a duo of extraordinary musicianship and superior understanding of these works. The first piece I wrote for the cello was the DESAFIO II at the request of Aldo Parisot, my good friend, the cellist, and teacher for so many generations. It was at the International Competition in Paraíba in 1968 that Aldo suggested the work, initially to be written for a group of six cellists. I went onto writing a total of fifty Desafios, virtually for all the instruments, including chamber and symphony orchestras. This DESAFIO II quickly became one of favorites among cellists, and in 2009 it was performed by all the finalists of the International Competition Carlos Prieto in Mexico. The piece is based on the idea of 'poetic challenges' of the folk singers of the Northeastern Brazil, in which the singers would challenge each other in drawn-out duels by composing poems on the spot, making them more elaborate in each turn. This centuries-old tradition, which originated in the Iberian world, namely Portugal and Spain, was transformed by the Brazilian folk culture. In my DESAFIO II, I begin with a virtuosic cadenza for cello solo followed by a type of toccata or 'challenge' between the piano and cello with a very strong contrapuntal undercurrent. The PARTITA LATINA was written in 2002, by the commission of another dear friend, the great Mexican cellist Carlos Prieto, who made it's world premiere in 2003 in Mexico and recorded it for the Urtext label. The work is based on the eighteenth-century idea of partitas with individual movements, but in this work, the movements interconnect through the initial idea introduced by the cello. I could also say that they are studies of musical character with the first movement (Lento-Estático) presenting the initial idea and developing it in increasingly complex forms. The second movement (Apassionatto) is a deviation from the melodic theme, written in a brief form, in which the cello part dialogues with the left hand of the pianist. The third (Scherzando) is virtuosic and sarcastic, and the fourth (Calmo) explores the variants of the opening theme leading to a type of crazed habanera. The fifth (Profundo) is extremely chromatic for both instruments yet intensely calm. The sixth (Vivo) is of virtuosic character and extreme contrast. The seventh (Grave) begins very slowly and gradually reaches a great sonorous climax. The POEMA III is part of another series that began in 2002, and as with the Desafios, it was written for virtually all the instruments of the orchestra to be performed either with piano or a string orchestra. The idea of Poema came from a love song I wrote for my wife Maria Luiza. At the same time, I was inspired by something Picasso said, 'I am a cubist painter, yes, but able to paint beautiful portraits.' The POEMA III is nothing more than a simple melody, a song of positive and direct nature. The work, TRÊS CANTOS DE IEMANJÁ, is based on my work, 'Beiramar" for baritone and piano, composed in 1968. I always wanted to write this piece for cello, whose particular dramatic and cantabile features would be well displayed. I made this version in 2009 specially for a concert in Rio de Janeiro to celebrate my seventieth birthday, and the debut was given by cellist Bernardo Katz and pianist Maria Luiza Corker. The CANTORIAS are also a case apart. In 2005 my dear friend, the great Brazilian cellist Antonio Meneses came to me with the idea of commissioning several composers to write works based on Bach's suites for solo cello. I immediately chose one of my favorites, the suite in D minor, then wrote my CANTORIA I, which began with the initial idea of Bach and from there entered my personal world. It is as if Bach's idea bore fruit in my mind of a work with it's own ways, finding it's way to the 'Northeastern Cantorias,' hence the title of the work. Antonio Meneses premiered the work with great success in 2005 in Sao Paulo and soon after recorded it on CD. In the same year, Carlos Prieto, commissioned a work for solo cello. I then proposed writing CANTORIA II based on the same idea of the CANTORIA I, except this time on the C major suite. While the CANTORIA I is more melodic, the CANTORIA II is extremely virtuosic and devilish. Carlos premiered it in Mexico in 2006. Then came at last TRÊS CANTILENAS. Carlos Prieto commissioned the first two for the concert he organized in Mexico in honor of my seventy years in 2009, and I dedicated them to Carlos Prieto. And the CANTILENA III I wrote a little later also in 2009, for the concert performed by Leonardo Altino and the pianist Victor Asuncion in the Festival Virtuosi 2009, in which they presented the first world premiere of the work along with the other Cantilenas. The fundamental idea of Cantilenas is simple, it uses the ancient form, the A - A' of the baroque period (to which my music has so much resemblance, not in style, but in technique). In these TRÊS CANTILENAS a simple melodic idea is introduced in all it's extent by the cello, with an elaborate contrapuntal texture in the piano, and then is repeated, always with profound harmonic and contrapuntal variations. MARLOS NOBRE Rio de Janeiro, February 2011.
