2023 restock. Originally released in 2009. "Back to music after three years of silence... On the suggestion of
Robert Ashley
,
Douglas Dunn
commissioned this piece from
Éliane Radigue
for choreography. Only the first part of
Triptych
was staged at the premiere at the Dancehall/Theatre of Nancy on February 27 1978. Recorded in the composer's studio in Paris. After the premiere of
Adnos I
(IMPREC 028CD) in San Francisco in 1974, a group of French students introduced Éliane Radigue to Tibetan Buddhism. When she returned to Paris, she began to explore this spirituality in depth, which slowed her musical production up until 1978.
Triptych
marks her return to composition, and draws its inspiration from 'the spirit of the fundamental elements,' water, air, fire, earth... Éliane Radigue likes to add that this has often been useful to her in her moments of research and transitions. This three-part composition, with its great humility and contemplative simplicity, heralded a new period of work and was the first in a series of masterpieces inspired by Tibetan Buddhism:
Adnos II
(1980);
Adnos III
(1981) [both included on IMPREC 028CD];
Songs of Milarepa
(1983), with the voices of
Lama Kunga Rinpoche
and Robert Ashley;
Jetsun Mila
(1986); as well as the
Triologie de la Mort
(XI 119CD):
Kyema
(1988),
Kailasha
(1991), and
Koumé
(1993). Archival images included in the accompanying booklet." --
