Welcome Welcome to Guildhall School’s 2021 Gold Medal. This is the 106th consecutive year that the competition has taken place. It has continued through two world wars and last year’s COVID-19 lockdown without hesitation, repetition or deviation! Last year we achieved great global success with our adventure into low latency broadcasting. Despite this monumental achievement in multi-venue synchronicity by our AV team, it is, nevertheless, a real joy to be back in one single live venue, the Barbican Hall, albeit with no audience. I am delighted to welcome our panel of expert judges: Huw Humphreys, Gweneth Ann Rand, Jordan de Souza and Natalie Murray Beale. Natalie will also be conducting tonight’s performance. We have a mouth-watering prospect in store from our four wonderful finalists this evening who will be taking us on a whistle-stop tour of the vocal and operatic repertoire. Thank you to all of our supporters. In a year of such financial difficulty for so many families, your help has never been more essential or more appreciated. My heartfelt thanks to all of our individual givers, trusts and foundations, livery companies and the City of London who all help to support our students and the School. I hope you enjoy this evening’s performance. Professor Jonathan Vaughan Vice Principal & Director of Music Dedication to Adrian Thorne From then on, he was hugely valued as a dedicated, collegiate and supportive member of the Academic Studies department, bringing legendary insights and perspectives into his musical analysis and history teaching, aural training, keyboard skills and stylistic-composition lessons. A man of great musical passion, skill and expertise, we remember his teaching for his imaginative and individual methods that would nurture and develop students’ musical knowledge and confidence through the integration of musical skills. He possessed a life-long professional and pedagogical commitment to strip the musical discourse of overly rigid theoretical constructs (of which he was, nevertheless, an avid and expert reader), instead directing students’ (and colleagues’) attention to music as practice and music as experience. With him, there always was a sense of wonder and discovery in how This year’s Gold Medal performance is close attention to small musical details dedicated to Adrian Thorne, who sadly would generate and ground the richest passed away suddenly in December 2020. and most rewarding subjective experience, For over 50 years, Adrian was a most highly illuminating the way music works as a regarded and much-loved teacher, colleague powerful artistic practice.

  • ARSC Journal

    A Discography of the Choral Symphony by J. F. Weber In previous issues of this Journal (XV:2-3; XVI:l-2), an effort was made to compile parts of a composer discography in depth rather than breadth. This one started in a similar vein with the realization that SO CDs of the Beethoven Ninth Symphony had been released (the total is now over 701). This should have been no surprise, for writers have stated that the playing time of the CD was designed to accommodate this work. After eighteen months' effort, a reasonably complete discography of the work has emerged. The wonder is that it took so long to collect a body of information (especially the full names of the vocalists) that had already been published in various places at various times. The Japanese discographers had made a good start, and some of their data would have been difficult to find otherwise, but quite a few corrections and additions have been made and some recording dates have been obtained that seem to have remained 1.Dlpublished so far. The first point to notice is that six versions of the Ninth didn't appear on the expected single CD. Bl:lhm (118) and Solti (96) exceeded the 75 minutes generally assumed (until recently) to be the maximum CD playing time, but Walter (37), Kegel (126), Mehta (127), and Thomas (130) were not so burdened and have been reissued on single CDs since the first CD release. On the other hand, the rather short Leibowitz (76), Toscanini (11), and Busch (25) versions have recently been issued with fillers.

  • Richard Strauss's Ariadne Auf Naxos

    Richard Strauss's Ariadne Auf Naxos

    Richard Strauss’s Ariadne auf Naxos - A survey of the major recordings by Ralph Moore Ariadne auf Naxos is less frequently encountered on stage than Der Rosenkavalier or Salome, but it is something of favourite among those who fancy themselves connoisseurs, insofar as its plot revolves around a conceit typical of Hofmannsthal’s libretti, whereby two worlds clash: the merits of populist entertainment, personified by characters from the burlesque Commedia dell’arte tradition enacting Viennese operetta, are uneasily juxtaposed with the claims of high art to elevate and refine the observer as embodied in the opera seria to be performed by another company of singers, its plot derived from classical myth. The tale of Ariadne’s desertion by Theseus is performed in the second half of the evening and is in effect an opera within an opera. The fun starts when the major-domo conveys the instructions from “the richest man in Vienna” that in order to save time and avoid delaying the fireworks, both entertainments must be performed simultaneously. Both genres are parodied and a further contrast is made between Zerbinetta’s pragmatic attitude towards love and life and Ariadne’s morbid, death-oriented idealism – “Todgeweihtes Herz!”, Tristan und Isolde-style. Strauss’ scoring is interesting and innovative; the orchestra numbers only forty or so players: strings and brass are reduced to chamber-music scale and the orchestration heavily weighted towards woodwind and percussion, with the result that it is far less grand and Romantic in scale than is usual in Strauss and a peculiarly spare ad spiky mood frequently prevails.

    Hilde Zadek (1917-2019) Den Sista Stora Sopranen I Den Österrikiska Efterkrigsgenerationen, Hilde Zadek, Har Gått Ur Tiden, 101 År Gammal

    In memoriam: Hilde Zadek (1917-2019) Den sista stora sopranen i den österrikiska efterkrigsgenerationen, Hilde Zadek, har gått ur tiden, 101 år gammal. Zadek föddes i polska Bydgoszcz 1917 och växte upp i Stettin och Wien. 1934 tvingades hon på grund av sin judiska härkomst lämna Tyskland och utvandrade till Palestina där hon arbetade som sjuksköterska på en barnklinik i Jerusalem. Hon studerade för Rose Pauly där och för Ria Ginster i Zürich där hon även deltog i uruppförandet av Max Ettingers ortatorium Die Königin Esther. 1947 gjorde Zadek sensationell debut som Aida på Wiener Staatsoper. Zadek kom att tillhöra ensemblen på Staatsoper i över tjugo år. Gästspel över hela världen gav henne stora framgångar. Hon sjöng på festivalerna i Salzburg och Edinburgh, 1948 som Brangäne i Frank Martins Le Vin herbé och året därpå i sopransolot i Verdis Requiem under Herbert von Karajan. 1950 sjöng hon titelrollen i Ariadne på Naxos och Vitellia i Mozarts La clemenza di Tito. Hon sjöng i uruppförandet av Carl Orffs Antigonae 1949 och gestaltade Magda Sorel i Wien-premiären på Gian Carlo Menottis Konsuln. Hon sjöng Donna Anna och Ariadne i Edinburgh och Glyndebourne, Aida i Florens, Lisa iSpader dam och Tosca på Covent Garden. Zadek sjöng även i bl.a. Buenos Aires, Lissabon, Paris, Bryssel, Amsterdam, Rom, San Francisco och München. Säsongen 1952-53 uppträdde hon på Metropolitan som Donna Anna, Aida, Eva i Mästersångarna, Elsa i Lohengrin och Salome. 1957 gästspelade hon i titelrollen i Glucks Ifigenia på Tauris på Staatsoper i Berlin. Hon hade också stora framgångar på Bolsjoj i Moskva och i Rio de Janeiro.

The passacaglia? *r- occur i*' the follovxnc works: - Piano Concerto, Op. 13, III - Violin Concerto, Op. 15, III - "Dirge" from Serenade, op. 31 - Peter Grimes, Op. 33, Interlude IV - "Death, be not proud!1' from The Holy Sonnets o f John Donne, Op. 35 - The Rape o f Lucretia, op. 37, n , ii - Albert Herring, Op. 39, III, Threnody - Billy Budd, op. 50, I, iii - The Turn o f the Screw, op . 54, II, viii - Noye '8 Fludde, O p . 59, Storm - "Agnu Dei" from War Requiem, Op. 66 - Syrrvhony forCello and Orchestra, Op. 68, IV - String Quartet no. 3, Op. 94, V The analysis includes a detailed investigation into the type of ostinato themes used, namely their structure (lengUi, contour, characteristic intervals, tonal centre, metre, rhythm, use of sequence, derivation hod of handling the ostinato (variations in length, tone colouJ -< <>e register, ten$>o, degree of audibility) as well as the influence of the ostinato theme on the conqposition as a whole (effect on length, sectionalization). The accompaniment material is then brought under scrutiny b^th from the point of view of its type (thematic, motivic, unrelated counterpoints) and its importance within the overall frarework of the passacaglia.
