Info zu Still und lieblich

„Der stille Zink, dessen Mundstück dem des Zinks ähnelt, aber in das Instrument integriert ist, hat einen sehr weichen und zarten Klang. Aus diesem Grund wird er als stiller Zink bezeichnet“. Vier solcher Instrumente, die wie durch ein Wunder den Verlust der großen Sammlungen des Kasseler Hofes überlebt haben, werden heute in Leipzig aufbewahrt; diese Instrumente bildeten den Ausgangspunkt für eine Doktorarbeit von Lambert Colson. Es ist nun möglich, die gesamte Geschichte dieser Instrumente nachzuvollziehen, von ihrer Herstellung durch große venezianische Instrumentenbauer, ihrem Erwerb durch Moritz von Hessen (dem berühmten Mäzen des jungen Heinrich Schütz), den Namen der Musiker, die sie spielten, bis hin zu der Musik, die für diesen geheimnisvollen Cousin des Zinks komponiert wurde. Bei dieser Aufnahme der Werke, die für den Kasseler Hof entstanden- und größtenteils unveröffentlicht sind, kommen Kopien historischer Instrumente zum Einsatz.

InAlto
Lambert Colson, Leitung

InAlto
This Italian expression applies the same adjective to sea and mountain; it evokes at the same time their physical remoteness and the risks involved when exploring them.

The cornetto is definitely one of the most important musical instruments of the 16th and 17th century. It is made of wood and covered with leather or parchment and was considered the instrument most capable of imitating the human voice. And, just like the voice, it likes to explore the higher regions. Mersenne’s encyclopedia describes the cornetto as a “ray of light going through the clouds”.

InAlto aims to explore both vocal and instrumental music, bringing them to a sort of dialogue.

Famous composers of the baroque in Europe such as Monteverdi, Schütz or Praetorius left us magnificent music cultivating this taste for risk taking, this worship of the high register.

Nowadays, a real danger exists of failing to convince with music that does not feel like ours anymore. By a thorough study of the available sources and by selecting the best “historically informed” partners and collaborators, InAlto seeks to bring out the best in the repertoire they play. Eventually, historical musical intruments are musical instruments as well, InAlto considers them as modern tools of expression.

Lambert Colson
received his musical training at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels under Françoise Defours, Pedro Memelsdorff, Bart Coen, Marleen Leicher, Bruce Dickey and Gebhard David. He also studied in Bremen (University of the Arts), Basel (Schola Cantorum Basiliensis), and Barcelona (ESMUC). He has worked with ensembles and conductors of the calibre of Les Talens lyriques (Christophe Rousset), Le Parlement de Musique (Martin Gester), Scherzi Musicali (Nicolas Achten), Les Paladins (Jérôme Correas), L’Echelle and Oltremontano. As a musician and researcher, he has contributed to journals including La pensée de midi (Editions Actes Sud), and is involved with the Royaumont Foundation, where he teaches on Lutheran music in the Holy Roman Empire and assists the composer Zad Moultaka.

Several contemporary composers, including Zad Moultaka, Fabrice Fitch und Bernard Foccroulle, have been inspired by Lambert’s boundless enthusiasm for learning more about his instrument to dedicate pieces to him. His interest in innovative joint projects led Lambert to discover hypnosis while working with the choreographer Catherine Contour.

In cooperation with artists such as Liesa van der Aa and Shara Worden, BOX allows him to explore the range of possibilities open to his instruments in popular music.

This fervent commitment to being a musician in tune with his time clearly motivates the search for musical and emotional cross-fertilisations Lambert and InAlto have embarked on.
