Celestial Navigation: Pavel Kolesnikov at Aldeburgh
At the Aldeburgh Festival, pianist Pavel Kolesnikov plays a selection of works as a paean to American visual artist Joseph Cornell, including music by Couperin, Ad猫s and Schubert.
Ian Skelly introduces a concert from Snape Maltings, as part of this year's Aldeburgh Festival, in which pianist Pavel Kolesnikov plays a collection of pieces as a paean to the American visual artist Joseph Cornell.
Entitled "Celestial Navigation", this is Kolesnikov鈥檚 elegy to Cornell, a great magician among artists. Ever since he discovered his work he has been engrossed by it 鈥� tender, mysterious and joyful, always ropewalking between fanciful vagueness and precision. Cornell has been a profound inspiration for Kolesnikov鈥檚 own attempts to make soundscapes and sound worlds from found musical objects. In his art work Celestial Navigation, Cornell invokes the myths, images, and theories once used to explain the predictable yet baffling patterns of the night sky. The boxed objects present an ordered, though perhaps not entirely knowable, universe.
In this concert, Kolesnikov plays a constellation of pieces by Messiaen, Chopin, Ravel and Couperin, as well as Thomas Ad猫s鈥� Darknesse Visible and Schubert鈥檚 Four Impromptus, illuminated in the concert hall by interplanetary projections and lighting.
