Julián Carrillo's 13th tone - Ernestine Stoop, Anne Veinberg + Ere Lievonen

This MicroFest concert focuses on the 96-tone tuning of the Mexican Julían Carrillo. Carrillo was considered 'the grand old man' of Mexican music. 'He shattered and recreated our chromatic scale. You could call him the atom splitter of music, except that name gives no idea of the rich emotional world he opened up', according to The Times upon his death. Carrillo had special pianos built to perform his compositions. The Huygens-Fokker Foundation owns such a rare piano and in this concert you can hear that Carrillo's system is still alive.
