In twenty-four hours, Daniel Libeskind and the Alte Oper Frankfurt
staged seventy-five concerts across Frankfurt as part of an
exciting music project, "One Day in Life." But to understand "One
Day in Life," you have to think beyond the average symphony center
or opera house, with rows upon rows of red-backed seats and
acoustic ceiling panels. The idea behind "One Day" was to make all
of Frankfurt echo with the sound of music, from Indian raga in an
operating room to Mozart's Requiem in a subway station and Handel's
Water Music at a municipal swimming pool. One Day in Life is the
beautifully produced accompanying volume, featuring powerful
photographs, short writings, and a complete listing of locations
and performances, which included prestigious artists and ensembles
like pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard, violinist Carolin Widmann, and
the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra and locations like the
German National Library's underground stacks, the former great
kitchen of the Roemer, and the thirty-eighth floor of the Opera
Tower. To add a physical dimension to the project, Libeskind
collaborated with the Spanish surface specialist Cosentino on
"Musical Labyrinth," an installation in Frankfurt's Opera Square,
which reproduced the original concept sketch showing the locations
of the venues where concerts were to be held. A must-have for all
interested in music and architecture, One Day in Life brings
together everything you could want to know about this unusual
project.
