Маурисио Кагель^[1] (исп. Mauricio Kagel; 24 декабря 1931(19311224), Буэнос-Айрес — 18 сентября 2008, Кёльн) — немецкий композитор аргентинского происхождения.

Биография

Родился в еврейской семье, по материнской линии происходил из белорусских евреев^[2]. Изучал в Буэнос-Айресском университете литературу и философию; не был принят в консерваторию, но частным образом занимался под руководством Альберто Хинастера. Начиная с 1950 г. выступал как кинокритик, в 1955—1957 гг. работал репетитором с хором Камерной оперы Театра Колон.

С 1957 г. жил и работал в Кёльне. В 1960—1976 гг. (с небольшим перерывом) преподавал на Летних курсах новой музыки в Дармштадте, в 1974—1997 гг. профессор музыкального театра в Кёльнской консерватории. В разное время преподавал также в Буффало, Гётеборге, Берлине.

Творчество

Наибольшую известность принесли Кагелю произведения, в которых наряду с собственно музыкальной составляющей присутствует элемент перформанса, вторгающийся в музыкальную ткань и трансформирующий её.
