HMZ + Bertoncini
Das Trio des kandadischen Gambisten Pierre-Yves Martel und der beiden Kölner Musiker Philip Zoubek und Carl Ludwig Hübsch feierte seine Premiere 2012. Im Laufe von mehreren Tourneen in Kanada und Europa entwickelte das Trio eine Musik, die transparent und geheimnisvoll zugleich wirkt. Jeder Ton scheint genau auf den Punkt gesetzt und die einzelnen Stimmen sind eindrucksvoll miteinander verzahnt. Die avancierten Spieltechniken der drei Musiker erschaffen im Zusammenspiel eine derartige musikalische Vielfalt, dass sie trotz vieler leiser Stellen und Pausen weit davon entfernt ist, eine blutleere reduktionistische Übung darzustellen. Nun trifft das Trio auf die in Wien lebende, kongeniale Violinistin Tiziana Bertoncini, deren Spiel sich im Grenzbereich Neuer Musik und freier Improvisation bewegt.
