But following this anniversary there is some sad news, with the recent passing of our President, Jeanie, Countess of Carnarvon. Her energy, commitment and enthusiasm from the outset and throughout the evolution of the Festival have been fundamental to its success. The Duchess of Kent and I have seen the Festival grow from humble beginnings to an internationally renowned arts festival, having faced and overcome many obstacles along the way. Jeanie, Countess of Carnarvon, can be justly proud of the Festival’s achievements. Her legacy must surely be a Festival that continues to flourish as we embark on the next forty years. www.newburyspringfestival.org.uk 1 2019-NSF book.qxp_NSF programme book 23/04/2019 12:31 Page 2 Jeanie, Countess of Carnarvon MBE Founder and President 1935 - 2019 2 box office 0845 5218 218 2019-NSF book.qxp_NSF programme book 23/04/2019 12:31 Page 3 The Festival’s founder and president, Jeanie Countess of Carnarvon was a great and much loved lady who we will always remember for her inspirational support of Newbury Spring Festival and her gentle and gracious presence at so many events over the years. Her son Lord Carnarvon pays tribute to her with the following words. My darling mother’s lifelong interest in the arts and music started in her childhood in the USA. -

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. -

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……). -
