Pierre Boulez’s »Répons« was one of the remarkable highlights of Kent Nagano’s »Philharmonische Akademie« at St. Michaelis at the beginning of his tenure as General Music Director in Hamburg. He staged the »interchange« between chamber ensemble and soloists to great effect, as well as between electronically altered and unaltered sounds, within the sacred walls of Hamburg’s »Michel« church. The major construction project for the »Elbphilharmonie« was still underway at the time. Ten years later, Nagano revisits this exceptional work by the composer, conductor and founder of the IRCAM Institute in Paris, bringing it to the new and yet already firmly established concert hall on Hamburg’s River Elbe.
