Eino Tamberg

Eino Tamberg

Eino Tamberg (born 1930) is an Estonian composer. He studied music composition with Eugen Kapp at the Tallinn Conservatory, graduating in 1953. In Estonia he first became known with his song cycle "Viis romanssi Sándor Petöfi luulele" (1955) based on poetry by Sándor Petöfi, and with his "Concerto Grosso" (1956), for which he won a gold medal at an international music festival in Moscow. Tamberg was an important initiator of the anti-romantic composition movement of the late 1950s. His vision on music composition belonged to the so-called "New Wave" in Estonian music. He became more known outside of Estonia from approximately 1960, writing music for a large variety of genres, but in particular music for theater, and symphonic music.

Tamberg is one of the most important representatives of neoclassicism in Estonian music, though his later works are more expressionistic in style. Since 1969 he has been teaching at the Estonian Academy of Music, where he also holds a professorship since 1983. For the 1997-1998 season he was composer-in-residence with the Estonian National Symphony Orchestra.

Works

Tamberg's most notable works are the ballet "Johanna tentate" (1971) and the "Trumpet Concerto No. 1" (1972). The trumpet concerto remains one of his most popular works and was performed not only in Europe, but also in Hong Kong and Singapore, and was recorded by Håkan Hardenberger. Tamberg also wrote concerti for violin (1981), saxophone (1987), clarinet (1996), and a second trumpet concerto in 1997.

His second opera "Cyrano de Bergerac" premiered in 1976. This romantic opera, which consists of three acts and an epilogue (Op. 45), was written in 1974 using a libretto by Jaan Kross, based on the play by Edmond Rostand and following the structure of early baroque opera's.

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the United Nations (1995) he wrote his "Celebration Fanfaresse" which was premiered in New York City under Neeme Järvi.
