“”Elliott Carter is the one of America”s most distinguished creative artist in any field.”” – Aaron Copland nominating Elliott Carter for the “”Gold Medal of the National Institute of Arts and Letters for Eminence in Music”” (1971). Two important pieces of the American composer – who won the Pulitzer Prize twice – are now available on CD (re-release of WERGO LP WER 60124): “”In Sleep, In Thunder”” and “”Triple Duo””. “”In Sleep, In Thunder”” is a setting of six poems by the late Robert Lowell and composed “”in memory of the poet and friend””. Black comic parodies and ice-cold irony determine the atmosphere of the six songs. For Carter the way out of the black world of the Lowell cycle was “”Triple Duo””, a work whose comic mood appears in it”s very opening where the players are caught in the act of warming up before beginning.
