About the album

Robin de Raaff completed Atlantis in the summer of 2016. The work is one that predominantly seems to progress from light to dark, with voice and instruments frequently melding into an overall sonority. That said, where the text is of major significance, De Raaff uses the voice as a lyrical element to let it soar above the orchestral timbres. To a large extent, Atlantis is based on "Atlantis", the final poem in Hart Crane's collection Bridges. Boulez, the last surviving giant of post-War modernism, passed away while De Raaff was working on Atlantis. "Boulez was the great proponent of modernism. The island that modernism actually was simply disappeared when he died. This is why I felt a homage would be appropriate." As De Raaff has the tonal focus descend more or less chromatically for each stanza, a feeling arises of a sinking movement. He also makes the feeling of sinking away below the mirror surface of the ocean musically understandable by using ever darker sounding instruments. The oratorio Atlantis is not just an argument for the use of contemporary vocal skills as an element of the entire history of music, but also and primarily a warning about stewardship of water and the future of our planet.
Atlantis is een complex en indrukwekkend oratorium van de toonaangevende Nederlandse componist Robin de Raaff. Een uitdaging voor het Radio Filharmonisch Orkest en Groot Omroepkoor, die hen onder leiding van dirigent Markus Stenz, wel is toevertrouwd. Het is een prachtige live-opname ter nagedachtenis aan de Franse componist Pierre Boulez, de laatste der modernisten.

Robin de Raaff rondde Atlantis in de zomer van 2016 af. Het is een werk dat voornamelijk van licht naar donker lijkt te bewegen, waarbij stem en instrumenten vaak samensmelten tot een volle klank. Daar waar de tekst van groot belang is, gebruikt De Raaff de stem als een lyrisch element. Het is alsof de stem zich verheft boven de orkestrale klanken.

Atlantis is grotendeels gebaseerd op ‘Atlantis’, het laatste gedicht van de verzameling Bridges van de Amerikaanse dichter Hart Crane. Pierre Boulez, de laatst overlevende grootheid van het naoorlogse modernisme, stierf terwijl De Raaff aan Atlantis werkte. "Boulez was de grote voorvechter van het modernisme. Het eiland dat modernisme eigenlijk was, verdween domweg toen hij stierf. Daarom vond ik een eerbetoon gepast."

Aangezien Robin de Raaff het tonale zwaartepunt voor elke strofe min of meer chromatisch laat dalen, ontstaat het gevoel of je zinkt. Door steeds donkerder klinkende instrumenten te gebruiken, maakt de componist dat zinkende gevoel onder het reflecterende zeeoppervlak muzikaal begrijpelijk. Het oratorium Atlantis is niet alleen een argument voor het gebruik van hedendaagse vocale vaardigheden als een element van de gehele muziekgeschiedenis, maar ook en vooral om ons te wijzen op onze verantwoordelijkheid voor het water en de toekomst van onze planeet.
Robin de Raaff stellte Atlantis im Sommer 2016 fertig. Es ist ein Werk, das überwiegend von Hell zu Dunkel zu schreiten scheint, wenn Stimme und Instrumente sich oft zu einem Gesamtklang mischen. Doch wo der Text von großer Bedeutung ist, setzt De Raaff die Stimme als lyrisches Element ein und lässt sie über den Orchestertimbres gleiten. Atlantis basiert zu einem großen Teil auf „Atlantis“, dem letzten Gedicht in Hart Cranes Sammlung Bridges. Boulez, der letzte überlebende Gigant der Nachkriegsmoderne, starb, während De Raaff an Atlantis arbeitete. „Boulez war der große Verfechter der Moderne. Die Insel, die die Moderne eigentlich darstellte, verschwand einfach, als er starb. Deshalb fand ich eine Hommage passend.“ Da De Raaff den tonalen Schwerpunkt für jede Strophe mehr oder weniger chromatisch absteigen lässt, kommt ein Gefühl von Sinken auf. Er macht das Gefühl, unter die spiegelnde Meeresoberfläche zu sinken, musikalisch verständlich, indem er immer dunkler klingende Instrumente verwendet. Das Oratorium Atlantis ist nicht nur ein Argument für der Gebrauch zeitgenössischer Stimmfertigkeiten als Element der gesamten Musikgeschichte, sondern auch und vor allem eine Warnung bezüglich der Verantwortlichkeit gegenüber der Gewässer und der Zukunft unserer Welt.

The Netherlands Radio Philharmonic featured prominently in the Saturday Matinee as soon as the series started in 1961, and has continued to give frequent live performances ever since. The celebrated Saturday Matinee has hosted many legendary concerts.

The celebrated Saturday Matinee has hosted many legendary concerts. Illustrious soloists such as Kathleen Ferrier, Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Clara Haskil and Jean-Pierre Rampal have shared the stage with the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra.
In 2004, the three classical orchestral formations of the broadcasting 15 system were transformed into two: the present Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra and the Netherlands Radio Chamber Philharmonic. In 2006, these two orchestras, the Netherlands Radio Choir and the Metropole Orchestra joined the Dutch public broadcasting organisation NPO.
The Radio Philharmonic Orchestra has been conducted by great names such as Bernard Haitink, Jean Fournet, Hans Vonk, Sergiu Comissiona and Edo de Waart. Jaap van Zweden was named its chief conductor in September 2005. The orchestra has also worked with numerous famed guest conductors such as Leopold Stokowski, Kirill Kondrashin, Antál Dorati, Riccardo Muti, Kurt Masur and Valery Gergiev. Soon after its founding, the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic found itself foremost in Dutch musical life in the number of performances and the diversity of its repertoire, with a predilection for Dutch and contemporary works in its programming. It has honed another facet of its striking profile with a great many opera concertante performances. The orchestra has an extensive discography, ranging from legendary LPs recorded in the 1970s under such conductors as Leopold Stokowski and Antal Doráti to Jean Fournet’s much-lauded renderings of French repertoire. Under Edo de Waart, not only did it release its legendary Wagner interpretations, but also the complete orchestral works of Rachmaninov. CDs with work by contemporary composers such as Jonathan Harvey, Klas Torstensson, Jan van Vlijmen and Stravinsky have garnered prizes and much acclaim.

Robin de Raaff

Robin de Raaff (Breda, 1968) discovered his own diverse musical world through playing classical piano as well as bass guitar from a very early age. After being introduced to the legend and legacy of Jaco Pastorius, De Raaff’s musical world expanded explosively as an instrumentalist. Parallel with this early development he created his own music and lyrics for his Band where instrumental sections grew in significance, ultimately in to completely scored instrumental works. These instrumental compositions led him to enrol as a student of composition. De Raaff is of the generation of Dutch composers emerging in the nineties.

Robin de Raaff (Breda, 1968) discovered his own diverse musical world through playing classical piano as well as bass guitar from a very early age. After being introduced to the legend and legacy of Jaco Pastorius, De Raaff’s musical world expanded explosively as an instrumentalist. Parallel with this early development he created his own music and lyrics for his Band where instrumental sections grew in significance, ultimately in to completely scored instrumental works. These instrumental compositions led him to enrol as a student of composition.
De Raaff is of the generation of Dutch composers emerging in the nineties. He first studied composition with Geert van Keulen at the Amsterdam Conservatory and later with Theo Loevendie, graduating cum laude in 1997. Still being a student in 1995 he encountered Pierre Boulez in a Masterclass who praised his String Quartet No. 1 “Athomus” creating a whole new momentum to his development and career. In 1999 De Raaff had the privilege of being invited to work as George Benjamin’s only composition student at the Royal College of Music in London where he also studied with Julian Anderson.
In 2000 De Raaff was invited to the renowned Tanglewood Music Center as the ‘Senior Composition Fellow’ which was the beginning of an ongoing relationship resulting in a series of commissions and performances (Piano Concerto No. 1 for the Festival of Contemporary Music and Entangled Tales for the Boston Symphony Orchestra) and performances of his septet Ennea’s Domein and Un Visage d’Emprunt. For 2015 De Raaff was commissioned to compose a Fanfare dedicated to the 75th Anniversary of the Tanglewood Music Center. His residency at Tanglewood in 2000 was the beginning of a bigger exposure with performances and residencies in North America through festivals and theaters such as: The Aspen Music Festival, Cabrillo Festival (Santa Cruz), State of the Union Festival (London), ISCM World Music Days, The Banff Center, CBC Parry Sound Festival (Ontario), Takefu International Chamber Music Festival, Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, Ultima Contemporary Music Festival, Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center (New York), Betty Oliphant Theatre and Glenn Gould Studio (Toronto).
After a creative period of nearly 10 years, De Raaff finished his first opera RAAFF in 2004, which was commissioned by the Dutch National Opera in a co-production with the Holland Festival. The birth of this opera started with De Raaff’s success at a master class for young composers with Pierre Boulez organised by DNO in 1995.His second opera, also commissioned by DNO, resulted in Waiting for Miss Monroe (2012), which was received with much acclaim by the international press including The New York Times, Der Tagesspiegel and Der Süddeutsche Zeitung.
De Raaff’s Violin Concerto No. 1 “Angelic echoes” (2008, written for Tasmin Little and Jaap van Zweden) was selected as the Best Orchestral Work of the year 2008 in the Dutch composition competition Toonzetters. His special interest in this genre led him to compose many Concertos of which his Percussion Concerto (2014 commissioned by The New Juilliard Ensemble and premiered in Lincoln Center), is the most recent one.
In September 2016, his Oratorio “Atlantis”, an In Memoriam Pierre Boulez, was successfully premiered in Vredenburg, Utrecht (the Netherlands), to date De Raaff’s largest work for the concert stage. Early in 2017, his Symphony No. 4 “Melodies unheard” was premiered during a concert tour with the Arnhem Philharmonic Orchestra as part of his term as Composer in Residence.
The 2nd Sonata for Violin and Piano “North Atlantic Light” was given its world premiere in the Kurt Weill Hall at Carnegie Hall on the 4th of June 2018. It is based on the famous painting by Willem de Kooning, a fellow countryman of De Raaff. The larger vision on this painting, Violin Concerto No. 2 “North Atlantic Light”, was premiered in the Concertgebouw of Amsterdam, both versions were written for Tosca Opdam.
With the recent world premiere of Sfera for large orchestra in the esteemed ZaterdagMatinee, De Raaff finished his Symphony No 5 “Allegory of Time, of which Sfera is movement I and Unisono for large orchestra movement II.
Commissioned by the Holland Festival for their 75th Anniversary De Raaff composed his Piano Concerto No. 2 “Circulus”, premiered by Ralph van Raat, Matthias Pintscher conducting the Radio Filharmonic Oerchestra.
For 22 successive years, De Raaff has been Professor of Composition and Instrumentation at the Composition Department of the University for the Arts in Rotterdam, Codarts.

Classica, 01-7-2021

The interpretation of the American soprano Marisol Montalvo is splendid and so is that of the British baritone Mark Stone. [...] Atlantis is not only an argument for the use of contemporary vocal skills as an element of all musical history, but also a warning to better manage our planet.
Scherzo, 31-5-2021

Although a live recording is of course never flawless, the Radio Philharmonic Orchestra plays excellent and the Groot Omroepkoor sings amazing.
Luister, 04-12-2020

According to De Raaff, with the death of Pierre Boulez, the island of modernism has disappeared, just like Atlantis sunk in the sea, hence the homage to him.
Mania, 19-11-2020

In summary: no less than an enormous sensation to experience this CD, which really gives you the feeling of sitting in the hall. I did not experience the - well-deserved - applause as a disadvantage, quite the contrary! " "The technical recording result - a tribute to Bert van der Wolf and the composer who was also explicitly involved in the mastering - has the same qualification as the performance. Excellent!
Opus Klassiek, 16-11-2020

The orchestral playing is certainly brilliant and precise.
Music web International, 13-11-2020

A great success and a remarkable work.
Musique classique & Co, 07-11-2020

On the recording of the concert on 23-9-2016 in Tivoli Vredenburg in Utrecht, the American soprano Marisol Montalvo, the British baritone Mark Stone and the Netherlands Radio Choir shine in singing leading roles.
