    RETROSPECTIVE SUMMER 2020 By Brian Wilson The decision to axe the ‘Second Thoughts and Short Reviews’ feature left me with a vast array of part- written reviews, left unfinished after a colleague had got their thoughts online first, with not enough hours in the day to recast a full review in each case. This is an attempt to catch up. Even if in almost every case I find myself largely in agreement with the original review, a brief reminder of something you may have missed, with a slightly different slant, may be useful – and, occasionally, I may be raising a dissenting voice.

Did you have to wait before you could become his student? I arranged a private lesson with him at his home in the Bartolotti House in Amsterdam in early December 1977, and over the next couple of years attended courses he gave in Cologne and Dartington. He was on the jury of the ‘Festival estival de Paris’ harpsichord competition in September 1979 which I entered. Afterwards he complimented me on my performances of Scarlatti and Baumgartner. He accepted me as a guest student at the Sweelinck Conservatorium for the academic year 1980-81. Briefly describe your level of musical education when you started lessons with Gustav Leonhardt. How many years had you studied an early keyboard instrument? What academic qualifications did you have, if any? I graduated with my B Mus from Trinity College Dublin in 1973. Over many years I received organ lessons in Dublin from David Lee (himself a student of Thurston Dart) and in 1974 harpsichord lessons from John Beckett at the Royal Irish Academy of Music. I was awarded a Danish Government Scholarship enabling me to continue my keyboard studies during the academic year 1974-75 at the Conservatory in Copenhagen where my harpsichord professor was Karen Englund.

  • NEWSLETTER of the American Handel Society
    NEWSLETTER of The American Handel Society Volume XXXI, Number 2 Summer 2016 HANDEL’S GREATEST HITS: REPORT FROM HALLE THE COMPOSER’S MUSIC IN EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY BENEFIT CONCERTS Buried in The London Stage are advertisements for concerts including or devoted to Handel’s music. Starting in the 1710s and continuing through the eighteenth century, musicians of all types used Handel’s music on their concert programs, most especially during their benefit evenings.1 These special events were dedicated to promoting a sole performer (or other members of the theatrical staff at a particular playhouse or concert hall). As was tradition, performers would have organized these events from beginning to end by hiring the other performers, renting the theater, creating advertisements, soliciting patrons, and The Handel Festival in Halle took place this year from programming the concert. Advertisements suggest that singers Friday, May 27 to Sunday, June 12, 2016 with the theme “History – and instrumentalists employed Handel’s music in benefit concerts Myth – Enlightenment.” Following the pattern established last year, for their own professional gain. They strategically programmed the Festival extended over three weekends.

Instead, own talents, as well as their relationship to the popular composer. the first major musical event was the premiere of the new staging Benefit concerts were prime opportunities for performers of Sosarme, Re di Media at the Opera House, using performing to construct a narrative, or a story, through their chosen program. materials prepared by Michael Pacholke for the Hallische Händel- On the one hand, concert programs allowed performers to Ausgabe (HHA).

  • Overture, First Movement the Invention of Chronik Der Anna Magdalena Bach Benoit Turquety
    Overture, First Movement The Invention of Chronik der Anna Magdalena Bach Benoit Turquety So it’s through music that Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet came to the cinema. Through music did they come to the desire of making movies, of making one movie in particular, long before they could get the means to realise their intentions. They reminded that several times: their two first projects weren’t their first films. Moses und Aron, from the 1930-1932 Schoenberg opera, was shot at the end of the summer of 1974; but the idea was born fifteen years earlier, in 1958-59, four years before their first film, Machorka-Muff (1962). Moses was released in 1975—their eighth work. And even earlier, first and foremost, there was Chronik der Anna Magdalena Bach. Jean-Marie Straub has always dated quite precisely the birth of the “Bachfilm” project: November 1954. That year, that moment, was important for him. This is the month he moved to Paris, after three years at the Universities of Strasbourg and Nancy. He’s back from the Venice Festival, about which he has written in the Rythmes 1954 review, his first published critics that we know of. He is twenty-one. On November 1 took place the first actions of the F.L.N. against the French colonizers, marking the beginning of the Algerian Revolution. And in Paris, that fall, in the preparatory classes to the French state film school (IDHEC) of the Lycée Voltaire, he met Danièle Huillet, who “wanted to make documentaries in Africa”, and who had “discovered Schoenberg at 16, listening to the radio.
