  • Second Thoughts and Short Reviews: Autumn 2017-3
    SECOND THOUGHTS AND SHORT REVIEWS AUTUMN 2017/3 By Brian Wilson and Dan Morgan Reviews are by Brian Wilson except where signed [DM]. Autumn 2017/1 is here and Autumn 2017/2 here. As before, I must remind readers that preparing such a large review – especially large this time – carries the risk of incorrect catalogue numbers or purchase links, though I have tried to make the latter clearer than before. Please check before ordering. Some time ago I mentioned that trusty old Winamp, though it works with downloads in Windows 10, has not been updated for quite some time and that I had noticed occasional glitches. Recently I have been trying another free programme, MusicBee (https://getmusicbee.com/) and have found it to work well after a few initial problems. It does everything that Winamp does and adds the ability to display the artwork, if it’s included in the metadata – which isn’t always the case. An alternative would be MediaGo (http://mediago.sony.com/enu/download), actually designed to work with the high-res digital Sony Walkman, but a useful programme in itself and operating very much like MusicBee.

    NEWS Contact: Michael Andrews For release May 1, 2009 [email protected] 305-673-2183 SOUTH BEACH CHAMBER ENSEMBLE PRESENTS MUSIC IN BEAUTIFUL SPACES World premiere of Pamela Marshall’s Quinteto sobre los poemas de Carlos Pintado (MIAMI BEACH) – South Beach Chamber Ensemble (SBCE) continues its third series of concerts with the world premiere of Boston composer Pamela Marshall’s Quinteto sobre los poemas de Carlos Pintado. We are proud to have commissioned this new work scored for violin, viola, cello, double bass and piano. Ms. Marshall studied at the Eastman School of Music and Yale University and has been a fellow at the MacDowell Colony, the oldest artists colony in the United States. Her piece is inspired by the poetry of Miami Beach-based Cuban poet Carlos Pintado. His book Self-portrait in Blue won the 2006 International Prize for Poetry Sant Jordi in Girona, Spain. Both Ms. Marshall and Mr. Pintado will be attending. Mr. Pintado will read his poems and Ms. Marshall will speak about her composing process and inspiration. “Our mission is to bring together performers, composers and audiences,” commented SBCE founder and cellist Michael Andrews. “When I first met Pamela at a Chamber Music America conference in New York several years ago little did I dream that we would be commissioning and premiering her new piano quintet. And to find out that award-winning poet Carlos Pintado lives just two blocks from me in Miami Beach is a wonderful surprise.” The other major work on the program will be German romantic composer Hermann Goetz’s Piano Quintet in C minor, Op.

  • 55 -October 1998
    THE ALKAN SOCIETY President: RONALD SMITH Secretary: PETER J. GROVE 21 Heronswood, SALISBURY, Wiltshire. SP28DH Tel./Fax 01722-325771 BULLETIN NO. 55 -OCTOBER 1998 It is a good feeling to be producing a bulletin quite soon after the previous one. It will be relatively short because its main purpose is to give as much notice as possible of the meeting with Ronald Smith on Wednesday 18th November, in the Royal Academy of Music from 7 to 9 p.m.; full details follow later. It will be a return to our former practice of holding a single evening meeting. Obviously it will be harder for members outside London to justify the journey, and I apologise to them. We still intend to hold another all-day meeting like the first two "Alkan Days" in 1994 and 1996. However, this illustrated talk by our President promises to be particularly fascinating, and I do hope that many of you will be able to give your support. Mrs Jean Bartholomew: Many of our long-standing members will be sorry to hear that Jean died in January this year. She was one of our first members, and was elected on to the committee at the very first A.G.M. in 1978. She then took over as Secretary from our founder and Vice-President Dr John White in 1982, and continued until she moved out of London in 1984. She was an ideal secretary, being a professional linguist as well as an accomplished pianist who played at some of our early meetings. As a close friend of Dr White's family, she worked closely with him and they ran an excellent organisation.

    Introduction to: Richard Kitson, The Musical World (1866-1891) Copyright © 2006 RIPM Consortium Ltd Répertoire international de la presse musicale (www.ripm.org) The Musical World (1866-1891) The only comparable British journal in the great tradition of La Revue et Gazette musicale (1835-80), the Neue Zeitschrift für Musik (1834-1909), and the Gazzetta musicale di Milano (1842-1902), and the preeminent nineteenth-century British music journal, The Musical World [MWO] was published weekly in London on Saturdays from 18 March 1836 to 24 January 1891.1 This RIPM publication deals with the journal from 6 January 1866 (Vol. 44, no. 1) to its final issue published on 24 January 1891 (Vol. 71, no. 4),2 namely, twenty-six volumes comprising 1,361 issues.3 Almost all volumes consist of fifty-two issues, the exceptions, 1870, 1875, 1876, 1881 and 1887 have fifty-three, owing to the number of Saturdays in those years. One volume number is assigned to each year with the exception of 1888, for which there are three volume numbers.4 The issues of this year, however, are numbered consecutively from one to fifty-two. From 1866 to 1886 most issues contain sixteen pages. In 1886 occasional increases of four or eight pages are created by the expansion of the advertising sections at the beginning and the end of each issue, and, in 1887, the addition of a weekly supplement “The Organ World.” Throughout, a two-column format is employed. The page numbers assigned to each year are in numerical order beginning with page one through the last page of the given year.
