ZOFO duet presents
Sushi-Fondue
Keisuke Nakagoshi; Eva-Maria Zimmermann, piano
Toshimitsu Tanaka An ancient five-storied pagoda (1977)
Arthur Honegger Pastorale d’Eté (1920)
Masao Honma Sound Shift No. 4 (1988)
Hermann Goetz Sonata, Op. 17 (1865)
Dieter Ammann Regard sur les traditions (1995)
Ryuichi Sakamoto Tong Poo (1978)
This program features works from Japan and Switzerland—ZOFO duet’s countries of origin. The research for this program forced ZOFO members to go beyond their usual jokes about each other’ s home countries. It revealed that we are prouder and more sensitive about our native countries than we think. It brought up questions like: is there anything typical about Swiss or Japanese music, without getting into folkloristic clichés? Our research results in Sushi-Fondue, a program with a wide array of styles including pieces influenced by French impressionism, Japanese traditional music, German romanticism etc. What we’re most proud of? Dieter Ammann’s chemical experiment Regard sur les traditions and Ryuichi Sakamoto’s electropop song Tong Poo. www.zofoduet.com
