With Ricercars, who couldn’t be more different, the three artists search for sound and form in every corner. The instruments alone are surprising! Who knows the double bass pommeran? – a bass shawm from the 15th century. Adrian Rovatkay uses it to tell a story from E. Schulhoff’s “Bass Nightingale”. Julia Kursawe plays the historical cello piccolo while walking. Incorporating the dance like an instrument, she composed a Ricercar à la “Musica Ricercata” in memoriam György Ligeti. Yui Kawaguchi not only lets the lines of the Ricercars from the 16th century flow in moving forms; without further ado she turns the tables and both musicians have to dance to their tune. This creates an original, extremely impressive trialogue about the form of the Ricercar. It is the fifth work in the series “ImPuls der Suite”, founded in 2015 by the baroque cellist Julia Kursawe, in collaboration with the bassoonist and painter Adrian Rovatkay and the multiple dance and choreography award winner Yui Kawaguchi. The ensemble ImPuls der Suite attracted attention in 2021, when “SUITE CUBIC” opened the #Freiraum initiative in the Konzerthaus Berlin (WOS).
