  • Nicola Benedetti Interview: ‘It’S Hard When You Feel You’Re Doing Your Part, but Others Aren’T Doing Theirs’
    Nicola Benedetti interview: ‘It’s hard when you feel you’re doing your part, but others aren’t doing theirs’ As she launches her new album, the star violinist is frustrated at the restrictions on live performance, but is determined to bring music to the masses regardless Nicola Benedetti at Royal Albert Hall - 21 September 2013 – by Allan Beavis by Jessica Duchen 15/07/2021 Some people quit when faced with lockdown. Others don’t. When the pandemic abruptly smothered live music, the violinist Nicola Benedetti threw her considerable energy into finding new ways to connect people online to music and, through that, to one another. Now the Scottish star soloist is preparing for a Prom, where she will perform Prokofiev’s Violin Concerto No. 2 with the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain and, at last, a real, live audience. That should make the thrill for the NYOGB youngsters in the Royal Albert Hall even greater. “After a year and a half, with so much cancelled and no opportunity to get together, can you imagine how excited they’re going to be?” Benedetti enthuses. To say that musicians have felt frustrated and dispirited these past months is not saying enough. This summer, sports began to be allowed massive audiences, while theatres and concert halls were hobbled by continued social distancing. Benedetti does not mince her words: “It’s difficult when you see the football with 40,000 to 60,000 people gathering just in official numbers in official venues, never mind millions in the streets, and you look at musicians’ restrictions in that context.

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.

Allegro RCM Polonsky Visiting Professor of Violin Maxim Vengerov returns to the College for another highly anticipated masterclass. One of the greats of the repertoire, RCM violinists and the RCM Symphony Orchestra explore Beethoven’s Violin Concerto. This masterclass will be live streamed to www.rcm.ac.uk/live. Beethoven Violin Concerto in D major op 61 Although Beethoven completed only one concerto for violin, he certainly began work on another. All that survives of the earlier attempt is the opening section of a first movement in C major, but the condition of manuscript is such that it is entirely possible that the rest once existed, but has since been lost. The fragment probably dates from the early 1790s and reveals a confident treatment of the soloist, and a penchant for the upper reaches of the instrument’s range that anticipates one of the notable features of the masterpiece that was to follow more than a decade later. The exact circumstances of the D major Concerto’s commissioning are not known, but it was evidently written for Franz Clement, a very distinguished Viennese conductor (notably at the Theater an der Wien) and violinist.
