    BASSANO 11 A SECOND MIRACLE AT CANA: RECENT MUSICAL DISCOVERIES IN VERONESE'S WEDDING FEAST Peter Bossano 1.And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: 2. And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. 3. And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. 4. Jesus saith unto her, Woman what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. 5. His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. 6. And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. 7. Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. 8. And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it. 9. When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, 10.And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worst; but thou hast kept the good wine until now. —John 2: 1-10 (KingJames Version) In Paolo Veronese's painting of the Wedding Feast at Cana, as in St. John's version of this story, not everything is as at seems.

  • Concert ‹ Deux Orchestres
    André Larquié président Brigitte Marger directeur général « Oui, il y a de la virtuosité sonore chez Mahler : constamment visible, rarement voyante. » Cette clarté de l’instrumentation mahlérienne relevée par Pierre Boulez en 1976 avait également été soulignée par Schönberg en 1948 : « Ce qui frappe d’abord dans l’orchestration de Mahler, c’est l’objectivité presque sans précédent qui le pousse à n’écrire que ce qui est absolument nécessaire. » Lignes épurées, colorations délicates, traits concis sont autant de gestes admirés par le maître vien- nois et pour une large part absorbés dans son propre style. D’une grande homo- généité, ce programme offre un ensemble d’œuvres où Schönberg et Mahler sont parvenus à cette parfaite aisance dans la transparence et la pureté du trai- tement sonore. Avec la Symphonie de chambre n° 1 op 9 (1906), Schönberg abandonne pour la première fois le grand effectif orchestral des premières œuvres comme Pelléas et Mélisande ou les Gurre-Lieder. Cette réduction de la nomenclature, également pré- sente dans les Trois pièces pour orchestre de chambre (1910), participe de l’ex- trême concentration alors recherchée par le compositeur tant dans la forme que dans le matériau. C’est dans le même esprit qu’en 1922 il réorchestre pour dix- sept instruments le Lied der Waldtaube, péroraison de la première partie des gigantesques Gurre-Lieder. Avec cette réactualisation instrumentale il opte pour une écriture minimale ne supportant plus aucune addition décorative ou gratuite. Dans les plus tardives Variations pour orchestre op 31 (1926-1928), Schönberg revient au grand effectif symphonique qu’il exploite dans un style proche de celui de la musique de chambre suivant en ce sens l’écriture économe de Mahler dans ses cinq Rückert-Lieder (1901).

  • David Childs Biography & Critiques
    DAVID CHILDS King Edward III once said: "If you want to train a longbowman, start with his grandfather." This adage holds just as true for British euphonium soloist David Childs, born in 1981, to a family whose name had been synonymous with brass for the last two generations. His grandfather John was a well-respected euphonium player from the Welsh Valleys who inspired his sons, Robert & Nicholas to take up euphonium. Robert began teaching his son David from an early age and in recent years David has emerged as one of the finest brass soloists of his generation. In the year 2000 he broke new ground for the euphonium becoming the first euphonium soloist to win the brass final of the televised 'BBC Young Musician of the Year’ which led to David’s highly acclaimed première performance of Philip Wilby’s Concerto for Euphonium with the BBC Philharmonic under Yan Pascal Totelier. In the same year David was awarded the coveted ‘Euphonium Player of the Year’ title, a title he won again in 2004 and still holds today. Since that time David has been instrumental in raising the euphonium’s profile in the classical world of music and has not ceased to wow audiences with his astonishing technique, extrovert musicality and engaging stage presence. Still in the early stages of his career, David has already toured extensively performing as a soloist in Australia, New Zealand, the Middle East, Japan, Hong Kong, Europe and the U.S.A. He is a keen advocate of new music and has premièred ten concerti for euphonium including a Royal Albert Hall BBC Proms broadcast of Alun Hoddinott's, 'Sunne Rising - The King Will Ride’, a Carnegie Hall US première of Karl Jenkins’ Concerto for Euphonium & Orchestra, and a UK première of Christian Lindberg’s Concerto for Euphonium & Orchestra directed by the composer.
