"Operazza", es un proyecto de fusión. Su nombre se debe a la unión de la ópera, el Jazz, y la pazzia.

La otra parte del concierto la conforman canciones de Cole Porter, Louis Prima, el cuarteto Cettra y Frank Sinatra.

Su debut en el Metropolitan Opera House de New York, protagonizando el Barbero de Sevilla, y su actuación en una nueva producción de Armida de Rossini , en el mismo coliseo, se han convertido en el punto culminante de su carrera reciente. Ha sido dirigido por algunas de las batutas mas prestigiosas del mundo (Alberto Zedda, Jesús López Cobos, Riccardo Frizza, Cristophe Rousset, Jean‐ Cristophe Spinosi, Sir Andrew Davis, Frederic Chaslin, Josep Pons, Sebastian Weigle, Claudio Scimone, Antonio Florio, Fabio Biondi, Julian Reynolds, Vladimir Jurowski, Victor Pablo Pérez, etc….)

Se formó artísticamente en los años setenta aprendiendo de artistas veteranos como Pepe Matrona, Fosforito y Juan Varea en los tablaos madrileños de Torres Bermejas y Café de Chinitas. Allí también compartió escenario con jóvenes talentos como Camarón, Enrique Morente y los hermanos Habichuela. La obra discográfica de Carmen Linares se compone de proyectos que integran su creatividad musical, su devoción por el cante jondo y su afición por la poesía. Su disco más importante es “Antología de la mujer en el cante” (Universal, 1996) con el que ha conseguido consolidarse como referencia en el cante de mujer en el arte flamenco contemporáneo. En su trayectoria escénica cabe destacar la versatilidad para involucrarse en proyectos como “El Amor Brujo” de Falla junto a la Orquesta Nacional de España, con directores de la talla de Josep Pons, Leo Brouwer o Victor Pablo. También ha participado “Locura de brisa y trino” de Manolo Sanlúcar, “Poeta en Nueva York” de Blanca Lí y “Lamentaciones de Jeremías” de Uri Caine con los que ha actuado en escenarios tan prestigiosos como el Lincoln Center de Nueva York, Opera House de Sydney, Teatro Chaillot de París y Auditorio Nacional de Madrid. Destaca su capacidad para dirigir sus propios espectáculos como “Canciones Populares de Lorca”, “Raíces y Alas”, “Remembranzas” y sus más recientes estrenos “Oasis Abierto” dedicado a la obra de Miguel Hernández y “Ensayo Flamenco 2012” en el que interpreta a poetas como Federico García Lorca, Juan Ramón Jiménez, Rafael Alberti, José Ángel Valente y al propio Miguel Hernández. Joven Orquesta Nacional de España Pertenece al Instituto Nacional de las Artes Escénicas y de la Música (INAEM), organismo dependiente del Ministerio de Educación, Cultura y Deporte. Fue creada en 1983 con el propósito de contribuir a la formación de músicos españoles en la etapa previa al ejercicio de su profesión. Su objetivo prioritario es la ampliación y el perfeccionamiento de sus conocimientos a través del estudio y la práctica del repertorio sinfónico y de cámara, por medio de la celebración de unos 6 encuentros anuales. Durante los primeros días de cada 62 Festival Internacional de Santander encuentro cada miembro de la orquesta se enfrenta a un programa de trabajo que, tutelado por profesores de reconocido prestigio internacional, tiene por objeto profundizar en el estudio de su instrumento a través del repertorio sinfónico y camerístico, por medio de ensayos parciales y de conjunto, así como de sesiones de análisis e información sobre las obras trabajadas. Cada encuentro termina con una serie de conciertos, lo que ha llevado a la Orquesta por todo el país y, casi todos los años, al extranjero.

    Liebe Zuhörerinnen und Zuhörer, liebe Freunde Gerne laden wir Sie zu unseren Abenden im Landhaus Dornegg ein. Nach den erfolgreichen Musiktagen im vorigen Jahr, die eine breite öffentliche Resonanz auslösten, möchten wir mit Ih- nen wieder denkwürdige Zeit verbringen und die Werke von renommierten Musikern geniessen. Unser Ziel ist es, Musik im Landhaus Dornegg wieder erklingen zu lassen in Angedenken an den Komponisten Werner Egk, der hier einst wohnte. Die Musiktage organisieren wir zum zweiten Mal in der Region und аlle Abende veranstalten wir auf eigene Kosten mit freiem Eintritt und Kollekte. Wir hoffen es sehr, dass unser Wunsch, das Landhaus Dornegg zu einem Kulturzentrum zu machen, durch die Kantonsgesellschaft unterstützt wird, und im nächsten Jahr könnten wir unseren Plan realisieren - ein festes Zelt auf dem Territorium des Landhauses zu bauen, um mehr Veranstaltungen hier zu organisieren. Herzlich möchte ich Sie zu den Musikabenden im Landhaus Dornegg einladen und die unvergesslichen musikalischen Momente mit Ihnen teilen. Ljuba Manz-Lurje, Initiantin Dank einer Initiative von Frau Manz können wir dieses Jahr verschiedene Konzerte in der Region Kulm realisieren. Unser Ziel ist es, echten Musikfreund- en in der Region wunderbare klassische Musik in der unberührten und schönen Natur im Aargau näher zu bringen. Die Musiker, die wir eingeladen haben, kann man nicht nur auf den grossen Bühnen der Schweiz sehen, sondern auf der ganzen Welt. Wir sind sehr erfreut darüber, solche grossartigen Musiker bei uns begrüssen zu dürfen. Das Landhaus Dornegg liegt weit abseits von der Alltagshektik der Stadt, an einem Ort der Inspiration, und sollte dank der Musik helfen, die innere Ruhe zu finden in Harmonie mit der Natur.

  • Valeriy Sokolov
    Valeriy Sokolov “Valeriy Sokolov does allow himself a degree of freedom, as the composer had done in his recording, yet it takes him right to the heart of the score. His playing is technically immaculate, but it has passion and is as earthy as that of any folk fiddler.” – David Denton, The Strad, March 2009 In ever-increasing demand for his astonishingly mature interpretations of some of the most difficult works in the violin repertoire, Valeriy Sokolov’s 2009/10 season sees debuts with the Orchestre National de France, the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra, the Mozarteumsorchester, the KBS Symphony Orchestra, and at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw (with Het Brabants Orkest). He will also return to the Orchestre Philharmonique de Liege, the Hallé, and the Manchester Camerata as well as appearing in recital at the Wigmore Hall, the Bridgewater Hall (Manchester), the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris and in the Hong Kong Premier Performances series. In recent seasons he has appeared regularly with the Tonhalle Orchester Zürich, the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, the Orchestre National de Bordeaux-Aquitaine, and at the Aspen Festival; and made debuts with the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra, Die Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, the Cleveland Orchestra, Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and Orquestra de Cadaques. Conductors with whom he has worked include David Zinman, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Ivor Bolton, Ludovic Morlot, Rumon Gamba, Yan Pascal Tortelier, Douglas Boyd, Peter Oundjian and Kwamé Ryan. On the recital platform, Valeriy appears each season at the Théâtre du Châtelet, Paris and is a regular guest in the “Grands Interprètes” series at the Auditorium de Lyon. He has also performed at the Verbier, Gstaad, Ravenna, MecklenburgVorpommern and St Denis festivals, and gave his first performance at the Lincoln Center and in Vancouver last season.

  • Bartók (1881-1945)
    EAST-CENTRAL EUROPEAN & BALKAN CONCERTOS From the 19th Century to the Present A Discography of CDs and LPs Prepared by Michael Herman Béla Bartók (1881-1945) Born in Nagyszentmiklós, Banat, Austria-Hungary (now Sânnicolau Mare, Romania). A prodigy on the piano, he received his first lessons from his mother and gave his first public recital at age eleven, and also began to compose. László Erkel accepted him as a pupil and he also studied piano under István Thomán, a former student of Franz Liszt, and composition under János Koessler at the Royal Academy of Music in Budapest. He began a lifelong friendship with fellow-composer Zoltán Kodály and the two of them explored the countryside in search of authentic Magyar folk music. He began his musical career as a piano teacher at the Royal Academy and he went on to become one of his country's greatest composers. His anti-Fascism prompted his exile to the United States, where he continued to compose and teach until his death. His large output covered most genres from opera and ballet to works for solo instruments and voices. His sole attempt at a Symphony was left incomplete with only the Scherzo orchestrated. In 1961, the Belgian music scholar Denijs Dille (1904-2005) orchestrated the remaining movements.

Many genera- tions of teachers and students who worked and studied at the renowned uni- versity made a significant contribution to the treasury of the Ukrainian music culture continuing and developing artistic traditions established by cele- brated predecessors. A number of names are known far beyond the borders of the country, others will probably be discovered by European specialists and music admirers for the first time thanks to this article. Nevertheless, their creative work deserves recognition, and their names are cannot be for- gotten. The centenary of Kharkiv National University of Arts is a worthy occasion to consider its activities in the context of European and world music culture. The founder of the professional music education in Kharkiv, the establisher and head of the Kharkiv RMS 1 branch, Music Classes (1871), Music College (1883) and the Conservatory (1917), consecutively opened at the branch, was Professor Ilya Slatin (a disciple of Alexandr Dreyschock, Theodor Kullak and Richard Wüerst), who headed the institution until 1920. Among his associates were Rostislav Genika (class of Nikolay Rubinstein and Pyotr Tchaikovsky), the first theorist of piano art in the Russian Empire; Ale- ksandr Horowitz (uncle of Vladimir Horowitz), a favourite student of Ale- ksandr Scriabin. The Special Piano Department at the Conservatory was headed until 1934 by Pavel Lutsenko, graduate of Kharkiv Music College (KhMC), class of Andrew 2 Schultz-Evler (student of Stanislav Moniuszko and Karl Tauzig), who completed his education with Ernest Jedliczka at the Stern Conservatory and taught there for 14 years.

  • Tchaikovsky (1840-1893)
    RUSSIAN, SOVIET & POST-SOVIET CONCERTOS A Discography Of CDs And LPs Prepared by Michael Herman Pyotr Tchaikovsky (1840-1893) Born in Kamsko-Votkinsk, Vyatka Province. A late starter in music, his professional training in music began with a theory class in 1861 with Nikolay Zaremba. He entered the Russian Musical Society's recently opened new music school, The St. Petersburg Conservatory. There he studied theory, composition, the piano, flute and organ and his most significant teacher was Anton Rubinstein. It did not take him long to absorb all the lessons the Conservatory had to teach him and he graduated as a fully formed composer who would become the most popular and, arguably, the greatest Russian composer of them all. In the remaining three decades of his life he would produce a plethora of music covering nearly all genres, including, opera, ballet, orchestral, chamber and vocal works, most of which remains constantly performed today.
