Peabody News January/February 2003 A Roaring Ovation for composer Nicholas Maw at world premiere of Sophie's Choice at Royal Opera House Covent Garden, London, on December 7, 2002 A deluge of advance publicity from major media on both sides of the Atlantic made the world premiere of Nicholas Maw's opera Sophie's Choice one of the most eagerly anticipated musi­ cal events of the decade. Sir Simon Rattle, Music Director of the Berlin Philharmonic, who con­ ducted the premiere, was quoted as saying this was "the most important opera written in the last fifty years..." Over 230 affiliates of the Johns Hopkins Uni­ versity showed up to support one of our own. Nicholas Maw is a member of the composition faculty at Peabody. The Hopkins contingent joined the cast for a euphoric post-premiere party that lasted until close to 2 a.m. the next morning. The demand for press seats for the premiere was unprecedented.

    95632 Tchaikovsky Rachmaninoff Piano Trio Trio élégiaque No.1 Klára Würtz · Dmitri Makhtin · Alexander Kniazev Tchaikovsky’s negative sentiments towards the piano trio were clearly set out in a letter of October 1880 to his patron, Nadezhda von Meck, in response to her enthusiastic praise for one composed by her resident pianist – a young Frenchman Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893) Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873-1943) called Claude Debussy (a piece long thought lost but rediscovered in 1985). In Piano Trio in A minor Op.50 “In 4.
