Avatud horisondid / Open Horizons
Tallinn Chamber Orchestra, New Wind Jazz Orchestra, Robert Jürjendal (guitar).
Conductor Wolf Kerschek (Germany).
Programme: music by Robert Jürjendal. Most of the nine pieces in the programme were completed in the last couple of years and have been composed specifically for the Tallinn Chamber Orchestra and New Wind Jazz Orchestra, the most substantial of which is the title piece “Open Horizons”.

Robert Jürjendal:
I have often wondered how academic music can be joined together with the power and freshness of rhythmic music. One such examples for me would certainly be the cooperation between the guitar player and composer, Frank Zappa, and the Ensemble Modern. I have also been deeply touched by the works of the Mahavishnu Orchestra, led by the guitarist and composer, John McLaughlin. This certainly does not mean that we should copy what has already been done. The important thing is to fix a common starting point from the perspective of the aesthetics of music.

Robert Jürjendal: SAJAHÄÄLNE KITARR

“SAJAHÄÄLNE KITARR on Robert Jürjendali sooloprojekt aastast 2013. See on elektrikitarri ja elektroonika abil loodud heakõlaline, improvisatsiooniline, kohati kosmiline, erinevaid muusikažanre ühendav maailm. SAJAHÄÄLNE kitarr püüab liikuda muusikaliste meeltepiirimaile – sinna, kus väljendusvahendid asuvad looma uut, mängijast sõltumatut helidemaailma.”
