1919

The year 1919 was transformative around the world and an exceptionally creative year for composers. On the global stage, troops returned home from World War I; the Treaty of Versailles was signed; and the idea of self-determination took hold. A new era of modernity was born with innovation and consumerism defining the interwar period. 1919 saw new or revised works by many of the finest early 20th…

Notes: Fantastic video of Colin's Orpheus Debut! there is a small head obstruction in the far left bottom that obstructs nothing but Hermes legs at times. This was a very unique and stressful show for the cast as they were down a worker and had everyone in the company on in the show. the show started almost 25 minutes late as they had to rehearse and change choreo. The lights hit in wait for me and the choreo change is quite fun to see and it's unique!

Happy Birthday Scottish operatic soprano Isobel Buchanan.

Buchanan was born in 1954 in Glasgow,and won a scholarship to the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, where in 1974, she was awarded with Student of the Year prize. She also won the Governor’s Recital Prize that same year.

In 1975 she auditioned for Richard Bonynge and Joan Sutherland and was offered a three year contract with the Australian Opera. Her professional debut was in January 1976, singing the role of Pamina in Mozart’s The Magic Flute, one she was to repeat many times throughout the world.

She made her British debut at Glyndebourne in 1978, again singing Pamina, in the Cox/Hockney production and in 1981 she sang The Countess in Peter Hall’s production of The Marriage of Figaro, a role repeated for the 50th Anniversary of the company in 1984 with Bernard Haitink conducting.

1978 saw her as Micaela at the Vienna State Opera in the legendary production by Franco Zefirelli, with Domingo, Obratsova and Mazurok. Conducted by Carlos Kleiber, the performance was broadcast live throughout Europe and released on CD and DVD.

Isobel’s Covent Garden debut was in Parsifal, conducted by Solti. Among other roles, she went on to sing Sophie in Werther, with Alfredo Kraus and Teresa Berganza, later recording the opera with Jose Carreras and Frederica von Stade, Sir Colin Davis conducting. She has appeared in opera houses in Cologne, Paris, Munich, Santa Fe, Brussels,Hamburg,Sydney, Wellington Chicago (with Pavarotti and Bergonzi) and Monte Carlo (with Raimondi).

She has also appeared with all the major British orchestras and has collaborated with many of the world’s leading conductors, including Solti, Haitink, Andrew Davis, Colin Davis, Celibidache, Pritchard, Mariner, Kleiber and Menuhin.

Isobel has made numerous recordings and in 1981 the BBC made a documentary, La Belle Isobel, of her career up to that time. She has had her own television series and has also appeared on such programmes as Face the Music and The Michael Parkinson Show.

After bringing up her two daughters, Isobel has recently resumed her career singing recitals with Eugene Asti and Malcolm Martineau at St John’s, Smith Square, as well as performing Sheherezade with the South Bank Sinfonia and, most recently, Haydn with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and Walton’s Façade with Jason Thornton and the Bath Phil at Longleat.

She also teaches voice privately, is a regular tutor for the Samling Foundation, gives master classes and workshops throughout the UK and teaches at the Guildhall School as a visiting professor.

I’m quite biased because this was my mums favourite Burns song, just listen to the clarity in her voice, Perfect….

Handel: Messiah, For unto us a child is born (Sir Colin Davis, Tenebrae,...

Genova: torna quest’anno il Sant’Apollinare International Piano Festival

Genova: torna quest’anno il Sant’Apollinare International Piano Festival. A Genova torna il Sant’Apollinare International Piano Festival, giunto alla terza edizione e organizzato dall’Associazione di promozione sociale Berceuse, nata dalla volontà di alcuni cittadini genovesi di consorziarsi per portare a Sant' Apollinare-Sori e l'arte della musica associata alla peculiarità del territorio. Il Festival, presentato oggi presso la Sala Trasparenza della Regione Liguria, propone una serie di concerti pianistici all'aperto, sul sagrato prospiciente la piccola chiesetta millenaria della frazione del Comune di Sori. In particolare, il 21, il 27 e il 30 giugno sono in programma tre concerti con artisti di fama internazionale, provenienti da Inghilterra, Germania e Giappone. Nel concerto di apertura del 21 giugno si esibirà il pianista e direttore artistico del Festival Adolfo Barabino. Per la formazione da camera il 27 giugno saranno protagonisti insieme a Barabino, al pianoforte, il violinista Joseph Wolfe, figlio del famosissimo direttore d'orchestra inglese Sir Colin Davis, il primo violoncello della Royal Philharmonic Orchestra di Londra Jonathan Ayling, che ha appena suonato nell' orchestra in Inghilterra durante l' incoronazione di Re Carlo III. Il 30 giugno ci sarà il concerto solistico della pianista Valentina Igoshina, concertista di fama internazionale. "Questo Festival, giunto alla terza edizione, si consolida come uno dei fondamentali elementi che costituiscono la ricchezza del nostro territorio", afferma il presidente e assessore alla Cultura della Regione Liguria Giovanni Toti e poi continua,  "La Liguria, infatti, non solo ha il mare più bello d’Italia, campione di Bandiere Blu, ma è tutta da scoprire, anche nell’entroterra in cui sono incastonati piccoli borghi, unici e suggestivi. Questo Festival consente di immergersi nell’atmosfera della piccola frazione del Comune di Sori per rimanere incantati dalla musica classica sul sagrato della chiesa millenaria, affacciata sul mare. Ringrazio quindi il direttore artistico del Festival, uno dei protagonisti anche dell’edizione di quest’anno, e tutti coloro che contribuiscono alla sua realizzazione - conclude - richiamando a Sant’Apollinare musicisti di fama internazionale”. Il direttore artistico della kermesse, il pianista Adolfo Barabino, vanta una trentennale attività concertistica quasi interamente svolta all'estero: considerato uno dei migliori interpreti di Chopin della sua generazione, ha già realizzato 11 tournee in Giappone dove ritornerà il prossimo dicembre e il suo disco con il concerto di Chopin no.2 op.21 inciso a Londra con la London Symphony Orchestra è stato nominato al Grammy Awards. Dal 2019 è membro della giuria del ‘Concours intemational de piano Nice Cote d'Azur’, ha appena presenziato a Verona come presidente di commissione in giuria per la finale italiana del concorso pianistico Steinway 2023 e tra i prossimi impegni eseguirà a Londra tutti i cinque concerti di Beethoven per pianoforte e orchestra con la English Chamber Orchestra. Era suo desiderio portare a Sant'Apollinare dei concerti di musica classica, creando un sorprendente connubio fra la musica e il silenzio che avvolge questo luogo, sospeso tra il cielo e il mare. L'ingresso è gratuito, ad offerta libera. Sarà garantito il servizio navetta nella tratta San Bartolomeo - Sant' Apollinare - Sori. Per poter partecipare è necessaria la prenotazione contattando la proloco di Sori (0185 700681) oppure inviando una mail all’associazione Berceuse info@berceuse.org.... #notizie #news #breakingnews #cronaca #politica #eventi #sport #moda Read the full article

10 Interesting facts about Kiri Te Kanawa

1. Dame Kiri Te Kanawa in Downton Abbey 

On Sunday 6 October 2013, Kiri Te Kanawa makes her name as a Downton star, playing Australian soprano Dame Nellie Melba. She apparently reduced the cast and crew to tears during rehearsals.

2.  Kiri Te Kanawa's name

Dame Kiri was born Claire Mary Teresa Rawstron in Gisborne on New Zealand's North Island. She was adopted by Māori parents Thomas and Nell Te Kanawa.

3. Gold record in New Zealand

She's one of New Zealand's finest musical exports: her recording of the Nuns' Chorus from the Strauss operetta Casanova was the country's first gold record.

4. No audition required

Dame Kiri impressed the London Opera Centre in 1966 - so much so, that she enrolled without an audition to study under Vera Rózsa and James Robertson. Her teachers noticed her gift for captivating audiences, despite her initial lack of technique.

5. Countess at Covent Garden

Dame Kiri was offered the role of the Countess in The Marriage of Figaro at Covent Garden in 1971, after a wildly successful audition. Conductor Sir Colin Davis said: "I couldn't believe my ears. I've taken thousands of auditions, but it was such a fantastically beautiful voice."

6. Royal wedding singer

Dame Kiri performed Handel's Let the Bright Seraphim at the wedding of Charles, Prince of Wales, and Lady Diana Spencer in 1981.

7. Honorary degrees

Dame Kiri's received honorary degrees from the universities of Bath, Cambridge, Dundee, Durham, Nottingham, Oxford, Sunderland, and Warwick. She's also quite the international honorary academic, with further degrees from the universities of Chicago, Auckland and Waikato.

8. Kiri Te Kanawa Foundation

Not only is she a legendary opera star, she's determined to support young singers in their path to greatness. She founded the Kiri Te Kanawa Foundation with the vision "that talented young New Zealand singers and musicians with complete dedication to their art may receive judicious and thoughtful mentoring and support to assist them in realising their dreams."

9.  Kiri Te Kanawa's royal audience

Kiri performed at the opening of the Commonwealth Games in 2006, singing Happy Birthday to Her Majesty the Queen herself.

10. Classical BRIT Awards Winners

Honoring her international success, Dame Kiri picked up the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Classical BRIT Awards in 2010. It's just one of a handful of prestigious honours and awards: as well as being made Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire for services to opera, she scooped a Grammy for Best Opera Recording in 1984 for a disc of Mozart.

JAN VOGLER

LALO & CASALS: CELLO CONCERTOS

La obra maestra de Édouard Lalo (1823 - 1892), el Concierto para violonchelo y orquesta en re menor, combina influencias del folclore español con su estilo característico, que recuerda a los compositores alemanes. En 2023 cumple 200 años. Disponible el 3 de marzo.

Consíguelo AQUÍ

Aunque era francés, tenía ascendencia española y su famosa obra fue interpretada con frecuencia por el célebre violonchelista Pablo Casals, a quien está dedicado este álbum. Su hermano Enrique Casals (1892-1986) fue un destacado violinista, director de orquesta y compositor por derecho propio. Compuso el Concierto para violonchelo en fa mayor en 1946 bajo la fuerte influencia del mar y la naturaleza de Cataluña. El último movimiento es una sardana, una danza folclórica catalana cuya forma también utilizó Pablo Casals en muchas de sus obras, muy claramente inspirado en el Romanticismo tardío alemán.

Jan Vogler

El violonchelista Jan Vogler vive en Nueva York y Dresde. Actúa con orquestas de renombre internacional de todo el mundo, como la Filarmónica de Nueva York, la Orquesta de la Gewandhaus de Leipzig, la Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester de Berlín o la Orquesta Filarmónica de Londres. Su sólida base artística le ha permitido explorar los límites de su sonido, creando un diálogo continuo también con compositores e intérpretes contemporáneos. El New York Times elogia su "interpretación conmovedora y rica en matices" y el Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung le concede la capacidad de "hacer cantar a su violonchelo". Por su elogiada grabación de las suites para violonchelo de Bach recibió un Opus Klassik. Jan Vogler es director del renombrado Festival de Música de Dresde desde octubre de 2008, así como director artístico del Festival de Moritzburg desde 2001.

Josep Caballé Domenech

El director de orquesta de origen catalán Josep Caballé Domenech, director titular de la Orquesta del Festival de Moritzburg y de la Filarmónica de Colorado Springs y ex GMD de la Staatskapelle Halle, ha disfrutado de una exitosa carrera con un amplio repertorio de conciertos y ópera. Recibió el Premio Aspen de la Academia Americana de Dirección de Orquesta y fue incluido como "Protégé" en el ciclo inaugural de la Iniciativa Artística Rolex Mentor y Protégé 2002-03 de Sir Colin Davis.

Orquesta del Festival de Moritzburg

La fundación de la Academia del Festival de Moritzburg bajo la dirección de Mira Wang en 2006 siguió la visión de fomentar el talento de los jóvenes mediante el intercambio intercultural e intergeneracional y facilitar su entrada en la práctica concertística. Mediante un procedimiento anunciado a nivel internacional, cada año se seleccionan aproximadamente 45 músicos para participar. Juntos forman la Orquesta del Festival de Moritzburg, a las órdenes del director titular Josep Caballé Domenech. Gracias a una beca completa, trabajan en obras de música orquestal y de cámara que luego presentan en concierto. Con ocasión del 30º Festival de Moritzburg, en verano de 2022, el conjunto volvió a reunirse en otoño para grabar este álbum.
