Ultra rare limited edition set issued privately by the Gaudeamus Foundation to document their 1968 music competition, showcasing an amazing array of brilliant young performers and rarely-heard experimental works drawing from the winners of a competition held at the peak of 20th century classical's postwar avant-gardism. The first disc contains the winning international composers, the second has the winning Dutch composers, and the last has the winning interpreters (each of whom perform modern works of their own choosing). Globokar's piece won first prize at the competition; it's a "psychodrama" that features 4 choirs simultaneously telling the stories of 4 different dreams from texts by poet Edoardo Sanguineti. It involves phonetics, semantics, and the translation of words into music, and is performed by the Radio Grand Choir under Marinus Voorberg, Frans Muller, Carel Laout, and Meindert Boekel. The prize-winning performers are the great Michael Ranta (percussion on the Lachenmann piece, one of the highlights of the set), Ronald Lumsden (piano on the Messiaen piece), Nancy Voigt (piano on the Brons), and Anita Krochmalska (piano on the De Leeuw). Other players include Lien Doets-Sevenstern (harp), the Gaudeamus String Quartet, the Rijnmond Wind Quintet, Ileana Melita (mezzo-soprano), the Utrecht Symphony Orchestra under Paul Hupperts, and the Radio Symphony Orchestra under Roelof Krol. Ton de Leeuw was among the judges. Includes several minimal-looking tall yellow cards, each of which contain extensive notes in English, to top out this beautiful box set.
