    Four excellent and varied works from one of the best contemporary composers
  

*by A***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 8, 2011*

Friedrich Goldmann (1941-2009) is one of the finest and most accomplished late 20th century composers who is virtually unknown in the U.S. Goldmann is unknown because the first and formative half of his composing career was spent in the DDR (or GDR), the former East Germany. He was able to study with Stockhausen at Darmstadt in 1959, and was friends with Helmut Lachenmann in later life -- so much for the idea that only social realism was allowed in the old Soviet bloc. Paul Dessau and Rudolph Wagner-Regeny were more major influences on Goldmann. He was a member of the DDR Arts Academy beginning in 1978 where he became the teacher of yet another generation of composers including Enno Poppe, Helmut Oehring and Arnulf Herrmann, and after reunification taught composition at the Berlin Hochschule der Kunste (Academy of Art). Goldmann created a substantial body of work, and was also a frequent conductor.This new 2011 disc appears thanks to Goldmann's son Stefan, an electronica artist, and his Macro company.  I hope every single one of the readers of the May 2011 issue of The Wire listened to it when they found it as their free bonus disc that month!Haiku a 6 (1994 -- 4'24)Modern Art SextetEnsemblekonzert 3 (2007 -- 23'33)musikFabrikSisyphus zu zweit (2008 -- 11')Biliana Voutchkova (violin) and Agnieszka Dziubak (cello) -- DuoKayaWege Gewirr Ausblick (2008 -- 17'15)Orchestra of HfM Dresden, led by Ekkehard KlemmGoldmann died at the age of 68 in 2009.  Three of these works, the longest three, were written shortly before his death.  It is tragic that he did not live to create more great music!  The first piece, "Haiku a 6" from 1994, is for a sextet of flute, clarinet, violin, viola, cello and piano.  Delicate and mysterious, it is modernist, yet not at all what I have come to expect from Goldmann.  This sets the tone for the disc -- modernist music that is challenging, yet accessible.I find "Ensemblekonzert 3" to be the standout work here, an absoutely stunning piece performed magnificently by musikFabrik, led by Enno Poppe and recorded live on June 15th, 2008 at the Bachfest Leipzig.  A fantasia on the fundamental notes of an arioso by Bach from the St. Matthew Passion, it is dynamic and endlessly engaging.  The 16 member ensemble features electric guitar at climactic moments, which gives it a populist edge."Sisyphus zu zweit" for violin and cello was also recorded live on July 4th, 2008.  It is a somber work, not as lugubrious as, say, Penderecki, but definitely not to be taken lightly."Wege Gewirr Ausblick" ("View of Tangled Paths") for orchestra was commissioned for the opening of the new concert hall of the Hochschule fur Musik "Carl Maria von Weber" Dresden (HfM Dresden) and this is a live recording of the premiere performance on October 31, 2008.  Like Wolfgang Rihm's recent works, this is a less thorny and forbidding composition than some of Goldmann's from years past.  It is thoroughly engaging and compelling, placing his gift for strong overall architecture in a somewhat lighter setting.  The piece seems to end in a climax of timpani and piano at the 10-minute mark, but then continues on for seven more minutes in a mystical coda of sparse violin, oboe and percussion over a high whining drone from an organ or synthesizer.I certainly hope that this Macro disc reaches a large audience.  Friedrich Goldmann is one of the finest composers of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, and deserves to be heard alongside the other leading German composers of his time including Hans Werner Henze, Helmut Lachenmann and Wolfgang Rihm.For more Goldmann, there are excellent discs of his symphonic and orchestral works from
