Ottawa\u2019s National Arts Centre (NAC) Orchestra’s Poema <\/em>series pairs Richard Strauss’s symphonic poems with new Canadian works commissioned to engage with the German composer’s. Poema 1 Ad Astra<\/em> linked Don Juan<\/em> and Death and Transfiguration <\/em>with works by Kelly-Marie Murphy and Kevin Lau. Here, it is the famous Also sprach Zarathustra<\/em> that is called upon to rub shoulders with a work by Ian Cusson, 1Q84 Sinfonia Metamoderna<\/em>. A huge challenge if ever there was one, Strauss’s Zarathustra <\/em>being an incomparable masterpiece, firmly based on a literary monument (Nietzsche) and itself developing a universe of symbolic depth through the composer’s abundant writing. In light of Strauss’s rich and complex perspective, Cusson also decided to seize a literary masterpiece, the novel 1Q84<\/em> by Haruki Murakami. This symbolist and surrealist science fiction novel tells the story of two people living in 1984 and reuniting after years of separation in a parallel universe and through metamorphosed identities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If in Nietzsche humanity is confronted with itself through the transcendent experience of Nature, in Murakami, it is the individual who faces themselves through identity struggles and in a panorama of infinite possibilities of choices and consequences, the Multiverse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

zCusson’s musical language is here deployed through marked but not ungracious contrasts. Sumptuous surges recall Strauss, one can guess. But the textural shifts between a modernized romanticism (Britten-esque, let’s say) and a crystallized impressionism take root in our post-modern 21st century to give life to virtual characters in search of truth, connection and meaning in a world that defies certainty. Some harmonic inflections and percussion commentary also tell us that this story is set in Japan. 1Q84 <\/em>is a meaningful work that I really enjoyed listening to multiple times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The version of Zarathustra <\/em>by Shelley and the CNA Orchestra is not lacking in panache or muscle, proof that this ensemble has progressed over the past twenty years. Without being a revelation, it is still a version that deserves to be listened to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A pleasant dialogue between two eras and two literatures with music as the mediator.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
