Prokofiev was renowned for his uncompromisingly direct behaviour. On one occasion he berated a famous singer saying – within the hearing of her many admirers – that she understood nothing of his music. Seeing her eyes brim, he mercilessly sharpened his tongue and humiliated her still further: ‘All of you women take refuge in tears instead of listening to what one has to say and learning how to correct your faults.’ One of Prokofiev’s long-suffering friends in France, fellow Russian émigré Nicolas Nabokov, sought to explain the composer’s boorishness by saying ‘Prokofiev, by nature, cannot tell a lie. He cannot even say the most conventional lie, such as “This is a charming piece”, when he believes the piece has no charm. […] On the contrary he would say exactly what he thought of it and discuss at great length its faults and its qualities and give valuable suggestions as to how to improve the piece.’ Nabokov said that for anyone with the resilience to withstand Prokofiev’s gruff manner and biting sarcasm he was an invaluable friend.

Premiered by Anne Sofie von Otter on 6th December 2015 Anne Sofie von Otter, mezzo-soprano Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra Hannu Lintu, conductor 3 Jean Sibelius (1865–1957) is appreciated first and foremost as a composer of symphonies, but he was equally ambitious and productive in writing tone poems. In fact, his single-movement Seventh Symphony Op. 105 (1924) and the tone poem Tapiola Op. 112 (1926) demonstrate just how close these two genres came to merging in his output. Tone poems linked Sibelius to the radical Romantic composers of the 19th century: programme music allowed composers to expand their musical idiom and to break out of the bounds of formal structures.

  • Trio Zimmermann
    TRIO ZIMMERMANN In 2007 the violinist Frank Peter Zimmermann was able to realize his long- cherished dream to establish a string trio, the Trio Zimmermann, together with the viola player Antoine Tamestit and the cellist Christian Poltéra. All three musicians have their own distinguished solo careers, but they happily meet for one or two short touring periods per season. The trio performs in such musical centres as Amsterdam, Berlin, Brussels, Cologne, London, Milan, Munich, Paris, Vienna and Zürich, as well as during the festivals in Salzburg and Edinburgh. The Trio Zimmermann records for BIS Records and their award-winning releases so far include the Beethoven String Trio’s Op. 9 (Diapason d’Or de l’Année in 2012, and a BBC Music Magazine Award in 2013), Beethoven’s String Trio, Op. 3 and Serenade, Op. 8, Mozart’s Divertimento KV 563, Schoenberg’s Trio, op 45 and Hindemith’s String Trio’s 1 and 2. Frank Peter Zimmermann Frank Peter Zimmermann is regarded as one of the leading violinists of our time. Since making his debut with the Berlin Philharmonic, conducted by Daniel Barenboim, in 1985, and with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra in 1983 under Lorin Maazel, he performs with all major orchestras worldwide, including the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, all the London orchestras and the leading orchestras in the United States. Zimmermann regularly appears at the prestigious music festivals in Salzburg, Edinburgh and Lucerne, and has a distinguished discography including releases on BIS, EMI, DECCA and hänssler-Classic. Born in Duisburg, Germany, he received his first violin lessons at the age of 5 from his mother.

  • Khadra and Sea Change: Sibelius’S Music at Sadler’S Wells
    Eija Kurki Khadra and Sea Change: Sibelius’s music at Sadler’s Wells In the late 1940s Sadler’s Wells Theatre Ballet premièred two choreographies which used Jean Sibelius’s music: Khadra and Sea Change. Khadra was choreographed in 1946 by Celia Franca (1921–2007) to the Belshazzar’s Feast suite. Sea Change was a choreography by John Cranko (1927–73), which Sadler’s Wells Theatre Ballet premièred in Dublin in 1949 and which was subsequently performed in London. The ballet was based on Sibelius’s tone poem En saga. 1 Sadler’s Wells Theatre Ballet was a new company of young dancers and choreographers that performed from 1946 onwards at the Sadler’s Wells Theatre in Islington, after Sadler’s Wells Ballet – which had previously performed at the theatre – had moved to the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, where it later assumed the name Royal Ballet. Both choreographers, Franca and Cranko, were young dancers who danced or had previously danced either with the Sadler’s Wells Ballet (Celia Franca) or with both of these companies (John CranKo). Khadra was the 24-year old Celia Franca’s first ballet choreography for the company – indeed, the first major choreography that she ever undertook. She subsequently made her career as founder and director of the National Ballet of Canada. John Cranko, at the age of 21, had made some choreographies earlier, but Sea Change was his first major project for the company, to be followed by several others that made him famous. Later, as a director of the Stuttgart Ballet, Cranko developed that company and made choreographies for it that were also performed by other ballet companies worldwide.
