The moment is a state of being that resonates in space. In the moment, time has not stopped, but condensed: the past, the present, and the future are simultaneously present. A musical moment is singular and unique; it is experienced in the present but can only be grasped in retrospect. Henri Dutilleux’s Mystère de l’instant explores the “mystery of the moment” and weaves a chain of moments linking back to Debussy and perhaps even Saint-Saëns. As a guarantee of this uniqueness, a Balkan folk instrument, cimbalom, rattles between the strings and percussion. Its string arrangement is a mystery to everyone except Hans-Kristian Sørensen. Dutilleux’s interest in the exotic was shared by his French predecessors, whose works conductor Olari Elts has included in the concert program.
