Its twentieth anniversary concert series begins with an essential Belcea programme, comprising the uplifting ingenuity of Haydn’s late String Quartet in G Op. 77 and Bartók’s First String Quartet. The latter’s contrapuntal writing echoes aspects of Beethoven’s Op. 131, among the greatest of all chamber music works.

  • Navigating, Coping & Cashing In
    The RECORDING Navigating, Coping & Cashing In Maze November 2013 Introduction Trying to get a handle on where the recording business is headed is a little like trying to nail Jell-O to the wall. No matter what side of the business you may be on— producing, selling, distributing, even buying recordings— there is no longer a “standard operating procedure.” Hence the title of this Special Report, designed as a guide to the abundance of recording and distribution options that seem to be cropping up almost daily thanks to technology’s relentless march forward. And as each new delivery CONTENTS option takes hold—CD, download, streaming, app, flash drive, you name it—it exponentionally accelerates the next. 2 Introduction At the other end of the spectrum sits the artist, overwhelmed with choices: 4 The Distribution Maze: anybody can (and does) make a recording these days, but if an artist is not signed Bring a Compass: Part I with a record label, or doesn’t have the resources to make a vanity recording, is there still a way?

Bieito’s continued association with the company shows ENO’s commitment to highly theatrical and new interpretations of core repertoire. Following the success of his Carmen at ENO in 2012, described by The Guardian as ‘a cogent, gripping piece of work’, Bieito’s production of Fidelio comes to the London Coliseum after its 2010 premiere in Munich. Working with designer Rebecca Ringst, Bieito presents a vast Escher-like labyrinth set, symbolising the powerfully claustrophobic nature of the opera. Edward Gardner, ENO’s highly acclaimed Music Director, 2013 Olivier Award-nominee and recipient of an OBE for services to music, conducts an outstanding cast led by Stuart Skelton singing Florestan and Emma Bell as Leonore. Since his definitive performance of Peter Grimes at ENO, Skelton is now recognised as one of the finest heldentenors of his generation, appearing at the world’s major opera houses, including the Metropolitan Opera, New York, and Opéra National de Paris.

Their next tour starts in Paris at the new Philharmonie on 11 April. This is followed by a five-city tour across Germany, with return concerts in Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt and Munich and their first visit to Hannover. Their programme includes Saint-Saëns’s Symphony No.3 (“Organ Symphony”), Beethoven’s 4th Piano Concerto performed by Hélène Grimaud and Rossini’s Cenerentola Sinfonia. In May, Pappano and the Accademia di Santa Cecilia will cross the Atlantic for their first tour to South America for concerts in São Paolo and Buenos Aires and there will be a much-anticipated return to the UK in the summer (to be announced in due course). Italian pianist Beatrice Rana, featured on the latest Warner Classics recording of Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No.1 and Prokofiev Piano Concerto No. 2 (her debut album), will join Maestro Pappano and the Accademia di Santa Cecilia on their South American tour. At a time of cultural instability and economic malaise, the Accademia di Santa Cecilia stands as a beacon of artistic excellence, progress and enlightened administration in Italy.

Across the board, European audiences and critics alike lauded the Fabulous Philadelphians under the leadership of Nézet- Séguin, with Vienna’s Der Standard commenting, “A cornucopia of perfection and dynamic fury—this is just a taste of what the Philadelphia Orchestra brought to its first evening performance of its two-day residence at the Wiener Musikverein. … Yannick Nézet-Séguin is considered by many to be one of the most thrilling conductors of our time, and his interpretation of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony with the Philadelphia Orchestra was a consummate masterpiece of sheer perfection.” Overall, the Tour’s successes were threefold: as an artistic venture, with the Orchestra and Nézet-Séguin receiving glowing reviews; as an opportunity for furthering the Orchestra’s educational mission through residency activities in Lyon and London; and as a moment for promoting Pennsylvania as a global destination for tourism, trade, and business development, alongside two delegations representing the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the City of Philadelphia.

  • Cleveland Orchestra with Antoni Wit & Jan Lisiecki (April
    Cleveland Orchestra with Antoni Wit & Jan Lisiecki (April 21) by Daniel Hathaway Poland was much in evidence at Severance Hall on Thursday evening, April 21, when Polish guest conductor Antoni Wit led The Cleveland Orchestra in Richard Wagner’s Polonia Overture and ​ ​ Frédéric Chopin’s f­minor piano concerto with Canadian pianist Jan Lisiecki (the son of Polish parents). Ludwig van Beethoven’s “Eroica” ​ Symphony may have been the outlier, ​ thematically, but it ended the evening on similar notes of proud dignity. While Poland may claim Chopin as its favorite musical son, France has almost an equal claim on the composer. Only a few weeks after the Warsaw premiere of this concerto in 1830, he decamped for Paris, never to return.
