style="font-size: 8pt" size="1">Hyperion
Ensemble is a chamber music ensemble based in Bucharest. It
was
founded in 1976 by composer Iancu Dumitrescu and specializes
in the
performance of contemporary classical music, more particular
it is
the main promoter in Romania of the Spectral Music trend.
Spectralism
has become worldwide present with several notorious main
schools from
France, Canada, Italy and Romania, the Romanian school being
largely
accepted as the most valuable contributor to this trend.
HYPERION has
attained universal prominence due to the openness, force and
originality of its creations, being considered, from USA to
Japan,
from South Africa to Chile or Korea, as the laboratory of
daring and
original musical contributions.<br>
“As a starting point, Hyperion
explored possible connections between the most archaic
Romanian music
– Byzantine music, folk music collected by Bartok, etc. –
and
today’s avant-garde music. It is a tradition of performance,
of
interpreting each new score as a provocation of the spirit,
and a
quest for new domains of sound. Aesthetically, at the heart
of this
work is the notion of spectrality as it developed in the
work of
Dumitrescu, Avram and other Romanian composers, that is: a
specifically transformational spectrality, as opposed to the
structural spectrality of the French Itinéraire group.
Hyperion has
performed all over Europe, and recently in United States,
and
recorded numerous LPs and 24 compact discs.”(Mode Records –
New
York).</font></font></font></p>

style="font-size: 8pt" size="1">Iancu
Dumitrescu is considered one of the leaders of the spectral
music
trend at a worldwide level, proposing a new aesthetic in
today’s
music, hyper-spectral, based on the radiant power of sound,
within
its microcosmic complexity – which is questioned, analyzed,
re-composed from a spectral perspective. His creation counts
more
than 300 works, chamber music, electro acoustic, orchestral
music,
computer music, etc.<br>
His work is edited by Salabert (Paris),
