About

Håkan Hardenberger returns to BIS with a disc of works written especially for him by HK Gruber and Kurt Schwertsik.

The Three MOB Pieces, composed in 1968, take inspiration from a diverse cross-section of music, including the neo-classicism of Stravinsky, the Beatles and the cabaret music by Hanns Eisler and Kurt Weill.

In each of the three movements of Busking the soloist plays a trumpet in a different key, with the accompaniment of an accordion, a banjo and strings.

Schwertsik’s title for his Divertimento is deceptive as he adds both melancholy and defiance to a work that appears, on the face of it, to offer easy-on-the-ear entertainment.
