He performs regularly with leading conductors and orchestras throughout the UK, Europe, North America and Australia, and his many festival appearances include the BBC Proms, and the Edinburgh, Cheltenham and Aldeburgh festivals. As a composer he has had works premièred at Wigmore Hall, the Barbican, Purcell Room and on national radio. In December 2016 he won the prize for Best Choral Composition at the British Composer Awards.

Other highlights of the past season included a European tour with the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, an orchestra she led from the violin in a program featuring Augustin Hadelich. Julia Fischer holds numerous awards including the Federal Cross of Merit, Gramophone Award and the German Culture Prize. She plays a violin by Giovanni Battista Guadagnini (1742) as well as an instrument made by Phillip Augustin (2018). Wednesday 28 October 2020, 7.30pm Pavel Haas Quartet The Pavel Haas Quartet is revered across the globe for its richness of timbre and infectious passion. Performing at the world’s major concert halls, and having won five Gramophone Awards for its recordings, the Quartet is firmly established as one of the foremost chamber ensembles in the world. This season, the Quartet returns to major venues including Tonhalle Zurich, Philharmonie Luxembourg, Konserthuset Stockholm and Società del Quartetto di Milano, and to festivals such as the Schubertiade Schwarzenberg. The ensemble performed at the String Quartet Biennale at Muziekgebouw Amsterdam last month and embarked on its first tour to Israel with performances in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and Haifa earlier this season. Further tours to the USA and Asia will take place in the spring. The Quartet records exclusively for Supraphon and last autumn released its new recording of Shostakovich string quartets Nos. 2,7 and 8. The Pavel Haas Quartet takes its name from the Czech composer Pavel Haas (1899–1944). Tuesday 1 December 2020, 7.30pm Hagen Quartet; Jörg Widmann clarinet The three-decade career of the Hagen Quartet began in 1981. Collaborations with artists such as the late Nikolaus Harnoncourt and also György Kurtág are as important to the Quartet as its appearances with performers including Maurizio Pollini, Mitsuko Uchida, Sabine Meyer and Krystian Zimerman, Heinrich Schiff and Jörg Widmann. Its most recent recording, of Mozart’s String Quintets, has received Diapason d’Or, Choc de Classica and ECHO Klassik awards. Highlights this season include concerts at Het Concertgebouw Amsterdam, the Salzburg Festival, and performances in Hamburg, Cologne, Paris, Berlin, Tokyo, Shanghai, Carnegie Hall in New York, Baltimore and Philadelphia. As teachers and mentors at the Mozarteum University Salzburg and the Hochschule für Musik Basel, as well as in international masterclasses, the Quartet’s members pass on their great wealth of experience to younger colleagues. Clarinettist, composer and conductor Jörg Widmann is one of the most versatile and intriguing artists of his generation. As Carnegie Hall’s 2019/20 Richard and Barbara Debs Composer Chair his work will be focused throughout the season. Other performances see him appear as a clarinettist, composer and conductor, artist in residence at WDR Sinfonieorchester, at Palau de la Música Barcelona and at Bergen International Festival. Chamber music performances will see him in concerts with long-standing chamber music partners such as Andras Schiff, Daniel Barenboim, Mitsuko Uchida, Tabea Zimmermann, Antoine Tamestit and the Hagen Quartet at the Schubertiade Schwarzenberg, Salzburg Festival, Carnegie Hall New York and Wiener Konzerthaus amongst others. 2 Spring 2021 Saturday 20 February 2021, 7.30pm Sabine Devieilhe soprano; Mathieu Pordoy piano Sabine Devieilhe is in demand on French and international stages with a repertoire spanning from the renaissance to the contemporary.

  • Frédéric Vaysse-Knitter | Biography
    ERIC BENOIST CONSEIL Frédéric Vaysse-Knitter | Biography "[Vaysse-Knitter] is clearly following in the tradition of Chopin, Debussy and Liszt. Starting with the first book of Debussy's Images, he achieved a shocking, almost physical beauty, ringing with boundless clarity. (...) The power, gravitas and harmonic richness of his interpretation [of Liszt's Funérailles] cannot fail to impress, as Vaysse-Knitter elicits from this solemn work a diversity of sound that would rival a grand symphony orchestra. Then finally, there is Debussy's Poisson d’or (...), fluidly played, with the delicate touch of overwhelming virtuosity." Bruno Serrou (June 2016) "Every descent into the self is also an ascension, an assumption, a glance toward the true external reality." This quote from Novalis perfectly expresses the quintessence of Vaysee-Knitter's nature – his playing is characterised by an extreme intensity and sense of vital urgency that grips the listener, as the piano under his hands sings melodies of introspection and transcendence. This duality partly explains the fascination that the music of Karol Szymanowski holds for him: For several years, Vaysse-Knitter has devoted himself to Szymanowski's entire piano oeuvre, as well as to the works of his contemporaries, yet all the while, he has remained particularly attached to modern day music. His Szymanowski solo recording was highly regarded among classical music publications, receiving 4 stars from Fonoforum, 5 stars from Piano News and a "Maestro" rating from Pianiste. Similarly, his subsequent album Szymanowski-Stravinsky (released by Aparté), which he recorded with violinist Solenne Païdassi was awarded a "Choc" by Classica, their highest recommendation, as well as 5/5 by Diapason and 10/10 by Klassik Heute.

  • ARSC Journal, Spring 1992 69 Sound Recording Reviews
    SOUND RECORDING REVIEWS Chicago Symphony Orchestra: The First Hundred Years CS090/12 (12 CDs: monaural, stereo; ADD)1 Available only from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, 220 S. Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL, for $175 plus $5 shipping and handling. The Centennial Collection-Chicago Symphony Orchestra RCA-Victor Gold Seal, GD 600206 (3 CDs; monaural, stereo, ADD and DDD). (total time 3:36:3l2). A "musical trivia" question: "Which American symphony orchestra was the first to record under its own name and conductor?" You will find the answer at the beginning of the 12-CD collection, The Chicago Symphony Orchestra: The First 100 Years, issued by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO). The date was May 1, 1916, and the conductor was Frederick Stock. 3 This is part of the orchestra's celebration of the hundredth anniversary of its founding by Theodore Thomas in 1891. Thomas is represented here, not as a conductor (he died in 1904) but as the arranger of Wagner's Triiume. But all of the other conductors and music directors are represented, as well as many guests. With one exception, the 3-CD set, The Centennial Collection: Chicago Symphony Orchestra, from RCA-Victor is drawn from the recordings that the Chicago Symphony made for that company. All were released previously, in various formats-mono and stereo, 78 rpm, 45 rpm, LPs, tapes, and CDs-as the technologies evolved. Although the present digital processing varies according to source, the sound is generally clear; the Reiner material is comparable to RCA-Victor's on-going reissues on CD of the legendary recordings produced by Richard Mohr.

The Salzburg Festival congratulates IGOR LEVIT on being acclaimed “Recording Artist of the Year” by the renowned specialist publication Musical America. In 2019 the Salzburg Festival was honoured by Musical America as “Festival of the Year”.

The jury offered the following statement: “The decision to honour pianist Igor Levit as Recording Artist of the Year recognizes his early determination not to allow the pandemic to curtail his music-making. When COVID-19 hit, Levit was one of the first musicians to embrace the livestream with his marathon performance of Satie’s Vexations, rightfully hailed as an unflagging feat of artistic and physical endurance.” “The Salzburg Festival, and especially I personally, are delighted to see this outstanding award bestowed on Igor Levit. His activism via livestream kept direct contact with our audience alive, even during the darkest times of the coronavirus. During recent years, his unforgettable concerts have been an essential contribution to the Salzburg Festival. His interpretation of the 32 Beethoven Piano Sonatas, a masterly achievement in pianistic and intellectual terms, were a highlight of our 2020 centenary festival. Needless to say, Igor Levit and I in my capacity as artistic director have plans for the coming years. I send him my heartfelt congratulations,” says the Festival’s artistic director, Markus Hinterhäuser.
