The third episode focuses on the rehearsal of a single work, “Jumalattaret”, and the relationship (also epistolary) between Zorn and soprano Barbara Hannigan, a world star of contemporary music. Jumalattaret is a song cycle composed by John Zorn inspired by Kalevala, a Finnish epic poem that narrates the exploits of mythological creatures that fear no violence and know no human or natural barriers. A tricky composition, technically at the limit of human and vocal possibilities, in whose piano part Stephen Gosling stands out. A focus on the complicated expressive process in which Zorn’s vision emerges: to abandon the idea of a perfect performance in order to reach a deeper, more human level.
