Description

Explore the life and work of one of the most significant figures in new music from the last fifty years. This book by Routledge examines the career of Mauricio Kagel, a composer who shaped the avant-garde landscape through his unique musical perspective. Kagel's journey began in the cultural environment of Buenos Aires during the 1940s and 1950s. His early years were marked by a deep connection to literature and art, having been a student of the writer Jorge Luis Borges. This foundation helped prepare him for his move to Europe in 1957, following the advice of Pierre Boulez. Upon arriving in Europe, Kagel established himself in Cologne, which served as a central hub for young composers. This text tracks his rise as a leading and often controversial figure in the classical music world. It provides a detailed look at how his rigorous musical education and his involvement in avant-garde circles contributed to his lasting impact on contemporary composition.
