Spotlight On: Will Duerden | Luciano Berio Sequenza XIV

Описание: Say hello to Will Duerden...

You might have caught him at some of our concerts across the year. The great news is he starts officially as our/Royal Northern Sinfonia's Section Leader Double Bass in December and he’s marking his arrival with a bang.

In this video, Will takes on Luciano Berio’s fiendishly difficult Sequenza for solo double bass. A piece that’s as physical as it is musical.. Composed in the final years of Berio’s life, it fuses European modernism with the pulse of Sri Lankan Kandyan drumming. Asking the player to treat the instrument like a percussion kit, a drum, and a voice box all at once. Slaps, scrapes, bowed harmonics the lot.

It’s chaotic, apocalyptic, utterly magnetic and a proper introduction to Will’s fearless playing.
