  • Virginia Woolf & String Quartets Concert
    Virginia Woolf & String Quartets Robinson College Chapel Cambridge 3 November 2016, 7.45pm Kreutzer Quartet Peter Sheppard Skærved – Violin Mihailo Trandafilovski – Violin Clifton Harrison – Viola Neil Heyde – Cello Kindly supported by PREFACE Welcome to the third concert of ‘Virginia Woolf & Music’. The project explores the role of music in Woolf’s life and afterlives: it includes new commissions, world premieres and little-known music by women composers. Outreach activities and educational resources have been central to the project since it began in 2015. Concerts on Woolf and Bloomsbury continue throughout 2016- 17. For further details see: http://virginiawoolfmusic.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk Woolf (1882-1941) was a knowledgeable, almost daily, listener to ‘classical’ music, fascinated by the cultural practice of music and by the relationships between music and writing. Towards the end of her life she famously remarked, ‘I always think of my books as music before I write them’. Her writing continues to inspire composers who have set her words or responded more obliquely to her work. This concert takes its cue from Woolf’s extraordinary experimental short fiction, ‘The String Quartet’ (1921). The work explores the pleasures and frustrations of ‘capturing’ music in language. Juxtaposing the banal remarks that frame the performance with the exuberant flights of fancy that unfold during the playing, Woolf’s work celebrates music’s capacity to stimulate memories and associations. And it celebrates too music’s own ‘weaving’ into a formal ‘pattern’ and ‘consummation’. On 7 March 1920, Woolf attended a concert that included a Schubert quintet ‘to take notes for my story’.

  • Current Review
    Current Review Dmitri Shostakovich: The Complete String Quartets aud 21.411 EAN: 4022143214119 4022143214119 www.amazon.de (J Scott Morrison - 2011.05.15) source: https://www.amazon.de/product-reviews/B0... The Mandelring Quartet Throw Their Hats in the Ring There are two sets of string quartets written in the twentieth century that can be counted among the greatest ever written: the six Bartók and the fifteen Shostakovich quartets. The Bartóks have been considered masterpieces for many years; it took longer for the Shostakovich set to be acknowledged as such outside Russia. But such they are and will surely remain. Still, they figure less often on concert programs than one might expect. That is at least partly because, with the exception of the popular Eighth and the more accessible and brief (15') First, they are rather more difficult to 'get' on one hearing. But they certainly repay repeated hearings and it is no surprise that the complete set has been recorded numerous times since the first complete set recorded by the Beethoven Quartet in the 1950s and 1960s. Many of the quartets had been dedicated to and premiered by them and some feel their recordings are definitive. Shostakovich: The 15 String Quartets Following that was the first of two complete sets by the Borodin String Quartet. I still remember the delight of discovery when a student of mine lent me the first Borodin set (of Qts 1-13) and I heard the quartets for the first time. I still have a strong emotional preference for those recordings, long since available on CD.

  • Alex Ross: the Rest Is Noise: Ruined Choirs: Shostakovich Pagina 1 Van 6
    Alex Ross: The Rest Is Noise: Ruined Choirs: Shostakovich pagina 1 van 6 Alex Ross: The Rest Is Noise Articles, a blog, and a book by the music critic of The New Yorker Ruined Choirs: Shostakovich by Alex Ross The New Yorker, March 20, 2000. Addendum 2004: This article contains quotations from Testimony, the purported memoirs of Dmitri Shostakovich. In light of Laurel E. Fay's latest researches, published in The Shostakovich Casebook, it is no longer possible to place any faith in Solomon Volkov's book. Writing in 2000, I stated that the composer's signature appeared on the first page of the manuscript. This, it turns out, is not the case. On a January evening in 1936, Joseph Stalin entered a box at the Bolshoi Theatre, in Moscow. His custom was to take a seat in the back, just before the curtain rose. He had become interested that month in new operas by Soviet composers: a week earlier, he had seen Ivan Dzerzhinsky’s “The Quiet Don,” and liked it enough to summon the composer for a conversation. On this night, the Bolshoi was presenting “Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk,” a dark, violent, sexually explicit opera by Dmitri Shostakovich. Stalin enjoyed himself less. After the third act—in which tsarist policemen are depicted as buffoons who arrest people on hastily fabricated pretexts—the Leader conspicuously walked out. Shostakovich, who had been expecting the same reception that Stalin gave to Dzerzhinsky, went away feeling, he said, “sick at heart.” Two days later, Pravda published an editorial under the headline “muddle instead of music,” which condemned Shostakovich’s opera outright.

    Quartet in A minor, D.804 (Op.29, February/March 1824) 38:03 1 I Allegro ma non troppo 14:23 2 II Andante 7:51 3 III Minuetto:- Allegretto 7:12 4 IV Allegro moderato 8:37 Quartet in D minor, D.810 (Op.posth, March 1824) 44:11 Der Tod und das Mädchen 5 I Allegro 16:47 6 II Andante con moto 13:28 7 III Scherzo:- Allegro molto 3:58 8 IV Presto – Prestissimo 9:58 Total playing time: 82:15 Performed on period instruments with gut strings Lucy Russell violin Marcus Barcham Stevens violin Alan George viola Sally Pendlebury cello On 31st March 1824 Schubert wrote to his friend, the writer Leopold Kupelwieser, that he had recently completed two string quartets – the A minor and the D minor (“Death and the Maiden”) offered here. But the tone of much of the letter is uncomfortably gloomy, often despairing; and he actually quotes two lines of Goethe which he had set ten years earlier in Gretchen am Spinnrade: “My peace is gone, my heart is heavy; never, never again will I find rest”. Is it a coincidence that the haunting accompaniment figure with which the second violin opens the A minor quartet bears a striking resemblance to that which (at a quicker pace) begins this same song? And the first few bars of its Minuetto must surely be a direct quotation from another song, Die Gotter Griechenlands, where the relevant words (by Schiller) are “Fair world, where have you gone?” However, the familiarity of the Andante’s principal theme really is genuine, since it is identical to that in the B flat Entr’acte from his (virtually contemporary) incidental music to Rosamunde (so which came first? Our leading Schubert scholar, Brian Newbould, has his theories……).

  • Musicweb International February 2020 Second Thoughts and Short Reviews
    Second Thoughts and Short Reviews - Winter 2019-20/3 By Brian Wilson, Dan Morgan, Simon Thompson and Johan van Veen. Winter #1 is here and Winter #2 is here. Earlier editions are archived here. Reviews are by Brian Wilson unless otherwise stated. Concurrently with this edition I have embarked on a summary, due soon, of some of the new releases and reissues for the Beethoven 2020 celebration of his 250th birthday. I mentioned some of these in Winter #2, but the trickle has since become a flood. My task has been made much easier by Mark Zimmer’s very detailed survey of the three bumper box sets from DG, Warner and Naxos, which allows me to concentrate on single albums and some of the individual releases associated with those box sets, especially the smaller download selections from the DG box. I’ve dealt with some of these in my article and hope to include the rest in forthcoming editions of these regular Second Thoughts and Short Reviews.

  • Teaching Chamber Music to Young String Players at Chetham's School of Music, Manchester
    Teaching Chamber Music to Young String Players at Chetham’s School of Music, Manchester By Graham Oppenheimer I was 12 years old, at a Summer School and I can still vividly recall my first experience of chamber music. The Finale of Mozart Quartet in G major K 387 amazed me with its ingenious construction, and the freedom and brilliance of my own voice. I realised that my part mattered in this wonderful new medium. This was a real “Lightbulb Moment” that has remained with me always. Since that day, I feel privileged to have had a career dedicated to chamber music and as Senior Chamber Music Tutor at Chetham’s School of Music in Manchester, I am now able to create such opportunities for others. Together with our team of dedicated teachers, we feel passionately about the importance of chamber music for young string players and recognise that one of our very important tasks is overseeing Lightbulb Moments for our own students. Many students arrive at Chets having never played chamber music before, and we introduce them to experiences which can be among the most dynamic and exciting available to string players. While researching this article, I spoke with many of our former students about their chamber music experiences at Chetham’s. Russian cellist Mikhail Nemstov (Chetham’s student 2005-07, International Soloist and Chamber Musician) remembers “I came from a background where my learning was almost entirely based on the relationship with my cello. At Chetham’s a whole new beautiful world of chamber music opened before me, I really learnt about making music as a team”.

By a happy coincidence this forty-year milestone for the FSQ also coincided with the 200th anniversary of arguably the greatest of all composers for string quartet, Franz Joseph Haydn (1732–1809). This man’s reputation has for too long suffered beyond the horizons he himself broadened; his achievements have too often been eclipsed by those of his successors. It was only natural that, as one of the great innovators, he should create not just a magnificent treasury of music himself but also limitless possibilities on which others might build. While he may never equal the popular appeal of his young friend Mozart, it is to be hoped that 2009 will have gone some way towards reminding us of his towering presence in our musical history and heritage.

  • November 2017 List
    November 2017 Catalogue Issue 18 Prices valid until Friday 15 December 2017 0115 982 7500 ‘Cadenabbia on Lake Como’ by Felix Mendelssohn (1837) [email protected] Your Account Number: {MM:Account Number} {MM:Postcode} {MM:Address4} {MM:Address3} {MM:Address2} {MM:Address1} {MM:Name} 1 Welcome! Dear Customer, Picking out our favourites from the new releases this month has been a challenge, to say the least. Not that we’re complaining - being surrounded by glorious new recordings week in, week out is one of the perks of the job! Warner Classics (with Erato) is a good place to start. All four of the highlights we have picked on p.4 are wonderful discs from some of today’s brightest talents. Violinist Vilde Frang, soprano Sabine Devieilhe, mezzo Natalie Stutzmann and choral conductor Laurence Equilbey all offer us fascinating recitals, each artist very much at home in the repertoire they have chosen. Chandos are another label that have a particularly strong selection of new titles for November - see p.6 for Elgar from Sir Andrew Davis, Bartok from Edward Gardner and Richard Rodney Bennett from John Wilson. It is also good to see them boxing together Jean-Efflam Bavouzet’s recent traversal of the Beethoven Piano Sonatas. Alpha present us with the latest offering from Vox Luminis in the form of Handel and Bach, alongside the next instalment in the Haydn 2032 series (the previous volume having won a Gramophone Award this year). Decca’s priority for the month is a magnificent album of baroque works featuring both Cecilia Bartoli and Sol Gabetta (’Dolce Duello’); our pick from Sony is Teodor Currentzis’s interpretation of Tchaikovsky 6 with MusicAeterna; and Naxos entice us with the third instalment of their superb Ring Cycle from Hong Kong.
