  • RUSSIAN & UKRAINIAN Russian & Ukrainian Symphonies and Orchestral Works
    RUSSIAN & UKRAINIAN Russian & Ukrainian Symphonies and Orchestral Works Occupying a vast land mass that has long been a melting pot of home-spun traditions and external influences, Russia’s history is deeply encrypted in the orchestral music to be found in this catalogue. Journeying from the Russian Empire through the Soviet era to the contemporary scene, the music of the Russian masters covers a huge canvas of richly coloured and immediately accessible works. Influences of folklore, orthodox liturgy, political brutality and human passion are all to be found in the listings. These range from 19th-century masterpieces penned by ‘The Mighty Five’ (Balakirev, Rimsky-Korsakov, Mussorgsky, Borodin, and Cui) to the edgy works of Prokofiev and Shostakovich that rubbed against the watchful eye of the Soviet authorities, culminating in the symphonic output of one of today’s most noted Russian composers, Alla Pavlova. Tchaikovsky wrote his orchestral works in a largely cosmopolitan style, leaving it to the band of brothers in The Mighty Five to fully shake off the Germanic influence that had long dominated their homeland’s musical scene. As part of this process, they imparted a thoroughly ethnic identity to their compositions. The titles of the works alone are enough to get the imaginative juices running, witness Borodin’s In the Steppes of Central Asia, Rimsky-Korsakov’s The Legend of the Invisible City of Kitezh, and Mussorgsky’s St John’s Night on the Bare Mountain. Supplementing the purely symphonic works, instrumental music from operas and ballets is also to be found in, for example, Prokofiev’sThe Love for Three Oranges Suite, Shostakovich’s four Ballet Suites, and Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite.

  • The Impact of Russian Music in England 1893-1929
    THE IMPACT OF RUSSIAN MUSIC IN ENGLAND 1893-1929 by GARETH JAMES THOMAS A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Music School of Humanities The University of Birmingham March 2005 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This thesis is an investigation into the reception of Russian music in England for the period 1893-1929 and the influence it had on English composers. Part I deals with the critical reception of Russian music in England in the cultural and political context of the period from the year of Tchaikovsky’s last successful visit to London in 1893 to the last season of Diaghilev’s Ballet russes in 1929. The broad theme examines how Russian music presented a challenge to the accepted aesthetic norms of the day and how this, combined with the contextual perceptions of Russia and Russian people, problematized the reception of Russian music, the result of which still informs some of our attitudes towards Russian composers today. Part II examines the influence that Russian music had on British composers of the period, specifically Stanford, Bantock, Vaughan Williams, Holst, Frank Bridge, Bax, Bliss and Walton.

    THE HISTORY OF TCHAIKOVSKY’S VARIATIONS ON A ROCOCO THEME AND THE COLLABORATION WITH FITZENHAGEN Table of Contents • Introduction • Revisiting the Variations’ history: • a chronology of the editorial and critical correspondence • The Variations in the context of their title and style • Conclusion • APPENDIX I • APPENDIX II • Endnotes Sergei Istomin Sergei Istomin is in demand as soloist and chamber musician, with an extensive recording career. His repertoire includes baroque, classical, romantic and contemporary music on both period and modern instruments. Istomin currently teaches viola da gamba and violoncello at the Ghent Conservatory (KASK) in Belgium. by Sergei Istomin Music & Practice, Volume 4 Scientific Introduction Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s Variations on a Rococo theme, op. 33, were dedicated to the cellist Karl Friedrich Wilhelm Fitzenhagen, who premiered this masterpiece in Moscow in 1877.[1]Fitzenhagen’s role in the compositional process has frequently been discussed by musicologists and performance practice specialists. In this article, we aim to re-assess Fitzenhagen’s involvement with the Variations with regard to ‘Texttreue’ – in other words, the performer’s fidelity to the text of a work – and re-evaluate Fitzenhagen’s own arrangement of the Variations with regard to the most recent musicological publications.[2] In the field of today’s performance practice, our task is to shine a much-needed light on Fitzenhagen’s contribution to the Variations’ editorial and publishing processes. In the first part of this article, the chronological history of the editorial and critical correspondence in the history of the Variations will be treated in detail. The two distinct versions of the Variations, which co-exist already in the original manuscripts, are of central significance to the subject matter.

As Julian Barnes so elegantly demonstrated in his novel Flaubert’s Parrot, you can provide a number of selective, conflicting Even this is to limit the sheer encyclopaedic breadth of biographies around a great creative artist’s life, and any one of Tchaikovsky’s composing genius. He wrote in every medium them will be true. By those standards, one could counter Harold conceivable at the time, and if not every opus can possibly be at C. Schonberg’s thumbnail sketch of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky as ‘a his highest level of inspiration, there are masterpieces in each nervous, hypochondriacal, unhappy man – unhappy at home, genre: opera, song, symphonic music, occasion‐pieces (which unhappy away from home’, with a portrait of the composer as an includes the ‘1812 Overture’ – much‐maligned, but does what it older man: confident, healthy, a keen traveller, a generous spirit says on the tin), chamber works and choral settings of the who had come to terms with his demons even if they occasionally Russian Orthodox service, which it was then regarded as popped up to haunt him, and a lover of the Russian landscape pioneering to even attempt to promote. who was very much at peace with the natural beauty of the country surroundings he had chosen as his dwelling.

  • Zukerman Plays Tchaikovsky
    NOTES ON THE PROGRAM BY LAURIE SHULMAN, ©2016 Winter Festival: Zukerman Plays Tchaikovsky ONE-MINUTE NOTES TCHAIKOVSKY: “Mélodie” from Souvenir d’un Lieu Cher Tchaikovsky’s “Mélodie” from Souvenir d’un lieu cher, originally for violin and piano, is a rare example of his chamber music. We hear it here in Glazunov’s arrangement for violin and orchestra. Sentimental and romantic, “Mélodie” is vintage Tchaikovsky. TCHAIKOVSKY: Sérénade Mélancolique Tchaikovsky’s Sérénade Mélancolique is a concerto slow movement that stands alone. It showcases beautiful tone and expression, rather than bravura. TCHAIKOVSKY: Serenade for Strings In contrast to the Sérénade Mélancolique, Tchaikovsky’s Serenade for Strings is sunny and exuberant: arguably the most enduring string orchestra work of the Romantic era. The composer was emulating Mozart’s style, with a spacious four-movement layout. The slow introduction recurs in the finale. MENDELSSOHN: Symphony No. 4, “Italian” Mendelssohn’s “Italian” Symphony captures aspects of Italian culture with consummate skill. Bright sunshine, a pilgrim’s march and a lively saltarello are some of its highlights. TCHAIKOVSKY: “Mélodie” from Souvenir d’un Lieu Cher, Op. 42 PYOTR ILYCH TCHAIKOVSKY Born: May 7, 1840, in Votkinsk, Viatka District, Russia Died: November 6, 1893, in St. Petersburg, Russia Composed: May and June 1878 World Premiere: Undocumented; probably at Mme von Meck’s private residence in 1878 NJSO Premiere: These are the first NJSO performances. Duration: 4 minutes Tchaikovsky wrote little chamber music: three string quartets, a piano trio and the string sextet Souvenir de Florence. The violin/piano duos known as Souvenir d’un Lieu Cher (Remembrance of a Special Place) are his only other music for small ensemble.
