Bodies in motion, from nought to one hundred. Anyone listening to Arnulf Herrmann’s “Hard Boiled Variations – 15 ½ Cycles” will experience rapid acceleration accompanied by an intentional loss of control. Enno Poppe’s “Körper” is similarly eventful: conducted by the composer, the Ensemble Modern pays homage to the big band sound by exploring a broad range of playing cultures: from the traditional big band to the Balkan banda to free jazz.
