Praise for Matthias Pintscher's Osiris

Apr. 01, 2008

Matthias Pintscher's Osiris saw its world premiere performances in February at the hands of Pierre Boulez and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the work was greeted by overwhelming critical acclaim. Bernard Holland of the New York Times remarks:
Osiris plays out like an encyclopedia of orchestral possibility. One short episode after another explores combinations of sound. Noteworthy are the variety, brevity and sheer number of musical ideas. If Carnegie Hall were a restaurant, Osiris would be like a tasting menu of considerable length: a high-end chef tweaking the imagination with unlikely and startling combinations of ingredients.

The Chicago Tribune's John von Rhein adds:

Osiris is extraordinarily well-made music that reveals real harmonic integrity beneath its glistening, whispering surfaces. Pintscher savors delicate restraint and exults in coloristic subtlety. Pintscher is a distinctive musical voice who merits the acclaim he's been getting in many quarters of the music world.
