A violin virtuoso as well as an expert guitar player, Niccolò Paganini wrote a number of works for the two instruments together. He thus forms a natural point of departure as Gomyo and Eskelinen embark on a journey some hundred years backwards in history, and offer works by three other famous Italian violinist-composers. Neither the violin sonatas by Vivaldi and Locatelli nor Corelli’s celebrated ‘La Follia’ were written specifically with the guitar in mind. They are instead provided with so-called basso continuo accompaniments to be performed on various chord-playing instruments, such as the harpsichord or the organ. Larger continuo ensembles might also include a lute or a guitar, and it is to this tradition that Ismo Eskelinen harks back as he performs his own realizations of these accompaniments. With one exception, the works by Paganini are on the other hand intended for the combination of violin and guitar – or, in the case of the Grand Sonata, ‘per chitarra e violino’. The centrepiece of the disc is formed by the famous 24th Caprice, provided by the composer with a guitar accompaniment and renamed Variazioni di bravura. Another favourite closes the disc, as Karen Gomyo and Ismo Eskelinen perform their version for violin and guitar of Il carnevale di Venezia, Paganini’s take on a Neapolitan folk song.

Many of his most important works date from the first half of his career. The expressive immediacy of his music, conditioned by his Armenian heritage with its sensuous melodic writing, its vibrant orchestration and rhythmic drive – all resulted in a popularity equalled by few composers of his generation. Although he is primarily associated with large orchestral scores – including the ballets Gayaneh and Spartacus, perennial favourites with concert audiences – he also left a number of works for piano solo. For his début disc, the Jordanian-Palestinian pianist Iyad Sughayer has put together a recital spanning from the ample and demanding Sonata to the delightful Children’s Album, consisting of ten miniatures, in turn playful and poignant. The recital closes with a piece which did a great deal to establish Khachaturian’s name near the outset of his international career. Composed in 1932 (allegedly in a single evening), the Toccata in E flat minor soon established itself among the showpieces of the modern repertoire and was to become a calling-card for aspiring virtuosi. Iyad Sughayer was born in 1993 in Amman, where he received his early training. He is currently based in the UK.

Various composers have written new pieces for him, including James MacMillan and Theo Verbey, whose works are included on the present disc together with Luciano Berio’s SOLO for trombone and orchestra. The present recordings were made at concerts with the Concertgebouw Orchestra, conducted by Iván Fischer, Markus Stenz and Ed Spanjaard respectively. They have previously been showcased on three different discs on the RCO’s own Live Horizon label, and are gathered together here for the first time. The disc therefore highlights the versatility of van Rijen as a musician, but also of his instrument as perceived and presented by three very different composers.

  • Focus Festival
    FOCUS 2021 FESTIVAL FOCUS EXPLORANDO LOS CINCUENTA LOS EXPLORANDO FESTIVAL EXPLORANDO LOS CINCUENTA EL DESPERTAR DE LA MÚSICA ESPAÑOLA El Focus Festival nace queriendo convertirse en un espacio singular dentro de la programación habitual de la Orquesta y Coro Nacionales de España: un lugar desde donde llamar la atención sobre un argumento concreto, proponer una escucha activa a partir de determinadas referencias o enfatizar el sentido integrador de la música cuando se percibe como fenómeno social. La prime- ra edición que ahora se presenta caminará «Explorando los cincuenta. El des- pertar de la música española», con el fin de acercarse a la vida musical de una década fundamental en la configuración de la modernidad artística española, un momento relevante en la consolidación de la cultura como espacio de libertad personal. Ya entonces la palabra festival implicaba un sentido de excepcionali- dad. La propia Orquesta Nacional, protagonista indiscutible en aquellos años bajo la dirección artística de Ataúlfo Argenta, la utilizó para definir algunos conciertos que siguen recordándose por su sentido referencial: el Festival Hindemith y el Festival Stravinski, que permitieron además la estancia en Es- paña de autores considerados entonces modelo de futuro. El Focus Festival los tiene presentes como fondo a la interpretación de la música española coe- tánea, incluyendo la de Cristóbal Halffter, Luis de Pablo, Antón García Abril y Juan Hidalgo. Ellos encarnan la audacia y altura de miras de una generación que se comprometió estéticamente, con alcance en ámbitos como la litera- tura, el cine y las artes plásticas. Muchos de ellos todavía están entre nosotros; son nonagenarios y su presencia es ejemplo de constancia y superación.

His hallmark would be clarity of statement in a sophisticated yet comprehensible language characterised by humanity. Although it is not surprising to find such character attributes in a composer and musician, it is astounding that the composer Brett Dean can communicate so directly in a musical language that is unconditionally contemporary. This may be due to the open-mindedness of a man for whom it is not enough to write music for music’s sake but who wants to present to an audience his love of playfulness, pensive reflection and emotional engagement. The spectator experiences this range like a kaleidoscope in the ballet One of a Kind; hundreds and thousands focuses on building a bridge to INTRODUCTION popular music; and Carlo is evocative of the sensibility of the Renaissance. Dean’s compositions Intimate Decisions and Beggars and Angels were inspired by cycles of works of the same title by his wife, the painter Heather Betts.

    World premiere JAMES MACMILLAN St Luke Passion Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra Netherlands Radio Choir National Youth Choir Markus Stenz conductor Peter Dicke organ 1 JAMES MACMILLAN St Luke Passion Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra Netherlands Radio Choir National Youth Choir Markus Stenz conductor Peter Dicke organ JAMES MACMILLLAN (B. 1959) A Passion by James MacMillan [1] Prelude 8:27 Following his sensational St John Passion (2007), the St Luke Passion is the [2] Chapter 22 32:45 second passion to be completed by the Scottish composer James MacMillan. [3] Chapter 23 25:30 MacMillan’s attachment to the story of the Passion stems directly from his [4] Postlude 6:17 deep-rooted Roman Catholic faith. The list of his works contains a range of vocal compositions that deal with the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ: from his music theatre work Visitatio Sepulchri for choir and chamber ensemble total time 73:03 (1993) and the cantata Seven Last Words from the Cross (1993) to the Tenebrae Responsories (2006) for eight-part a cappella choir. He regularly draws inspiration from the story of the Passion, even in his purely instrumental works. In the Fourteen Little Pictures for piano trio (1997), the composer’s starting point is the fourteen Stations of the Cross of Jesus. And the first two parts of his orchestral triptych Triduum, The World’s Ransoming and the Cello Concerto (1996), contain melodic material derived from the Gregorian liturgy for Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. This catalogue backs up MacMillan’s comment in The Times newspaper to the effect that he regards the Crucifixion and Resurrection as ‘the most important days in the history of the world’.

Det var en veritabel kammermusikfestival, der som regel strakte sig over fire til seks uger i juli og august. Koncerterne var ikke offentligt tilgængelige, men forbeholdt godsets gæster, der primært talte medlemmer af den musikbegavede Hartmann-familie, men også kom til at omfatte en del udenlandske musikere, især den hollandske familie Röntgen. Dette musikliv er blevet beskrevet i Bodil Neergaards to erindringsbøger Spredte Træk af mit Liv (1941) og Minder fra Fuglsang (1944) samt Bodil Neergaard. Hendes Slægt og Virke skildret af Familie og Venner i Anledning af hendes 80-Aars Dag (1947).
