Slot 2: PIANO+

Hören Sie hier weitere Mitschnitte von Konzerten des Festivals PIANO+ 2012. Das von Catherine Vickers kuratierte Festival findet seit dem Jahr 2005 regelmäßig im ZKM statt und erlebte im Jahr 2012 seine achte Auflage. PIANO+ widmet sich schwerpunktmäßig der Verbindung von Klavier und Elektronik. In vier Konzerten wurden zentrale Positionen der zeitgenössischen Klavierliteratur vorgestellt, die den Rahmen des Instruments medial, theatral oder elektroakustisch erweitern. Das Klavier, Symbol der bürgerlichen Musikkultur schlechthin, wird hier zum Instrument des musikalischen Fortschritts.
