  • Youtube's Classical Music Star Valentine Lisitsa Comes To
    PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE USE YouTube’s classical music star Valentine Lisitsa comes to Edinburgh’s Usher Hall Sunday Classics: Russian Philharmonic of Novosibirsk 3:00pm, Sunday 12 May 2019 Thomas Sanderling - Conductor Valentina Lisitsa - Piano Rimsky-Korsakov - Capriccio espagnol Rachmaninov - Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini Mussorgsky - Pictures at an Exhibition Images available to download here Powerhouse all-Russian programme including Rachmaninov’s tender take on Paganini YouTube sensation Valentina Lisitsa is nothing less than a modern marvel. A brilliant pianist of the Russian old school who plays with fiery intensity and profound insight, she is also a musical evangelist who has taken classical music to millions through her online videos. Having posted her first video on YouTube in 2007, viewing figures soon exploded and more videos followed. The foundations of a social media-driven career unparalleled in the history of classical music were laid. Her YouTube channel now boasts more than 516,000 subscribers and over 200 million views. No wonder she’s in demand right across the world: her unprecedented global stardom is matched by her breath-taking playing. Lisitsa has long adored the romance and power of Rachmaninov and following her electrifying performance of his Third Piano Concerto at the Usher Hall in 2018, she makes a welcome return with the passionate Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. Niccolò Paganini’s famous piece has been adored and interpreted by many a composer, including Brahms, but it’s Rachmaninov’s take on the classic that sees it as its tenderest, and wittiest. He moulds the main theme into musical styles and interpretations previously unheard, and there is no finer pianist to bring this to the Usher Hall than Valentina Lisitsa.

  • A Celebration of Heritage

Aloys Fleischmann (1910-92) Alan Cutts had a huge influence on the education of literally hundreds of musicians - young and old - and he dedicated his time and expertise in the most humble and selfless manner imaginable. Intimations of Immortality for Tenor, Chorus and Orchestra, Op. 29 His rich wealth of knowledge was matched by his modesty and those of us who were lucky enough to study with and learn from him - be it Gerald Finzi (1901-56) in a junior choir or amateur orchestra; as a BMus or MA student at the Cork School of Music; as a member of Madrigal ’75, Wexford Opera Chorus, Irish Youth Choir, Fleischmann Choir; or as part of his many other activities including his appearances at the Cork International Choral Festival - will never forget his wisdom and charm. Cormac Ó hAodáin (French Horn) All of us on stage tonight wish to dedicate this concert to the memory Robin Tritschler (Tenor) of our friend, mentor and colleague, Alan. He is sorely missed but will forever be in our thoughts. Fleischmann Choir Cork School of Music Symphony Orchestra The 2015/2016 season of the Fleischmann Choir is also dedicated Maria Ryan (Leader) to Tadge O’Mullane and James Stevens.

  • Cele Mai Cunoscute Orchestre Simfonice Din Lume
    Scris de cristina.mihalascu pe 24 octombrie 2010, 16:57 Cele mai cunoscute orchestre simfonice din lume - Sinteza unt ansambluri muzicale care au supravietuit regimurilor politice si razboaielor, care s-au adaptat schimbarilor vremii, dar care au ramas fidele stilului clasic de muzica. Cu moneda proprie sau nu, cu dirijori faimosi, cu propriile case de discuri si cu premii internationale, orchestrele simfonice ale lumii sunt calatorii muzicale catre desavarsirea sunetului. usa_chicago_orchestrahall_3.jpg Pe langa muzica, ele spun istoria. In fata modei, ele impun statornicia. Despre istoria institutiilor care au pastrat vie muzica culta, puteti citi in frazele care urmeaza. Trei publicatii de prestigiu dedicate industriei muzicale clasice, printre care monteverdi.tv, gramophone.co.uk si musolife.com, considera ca urmatoarele cinci orchestre simfonice sunt cele mai importante din lume: Orchestra Regala Amsterdam (Concertgebouw Orchestra Amsterdam) Pe 11 aprilie 1888, dupa ani de pregatiri, sala de concerte a orasului Amsterdam, Concertgebouw, a fost in mod oficial deschisa. In sfarsit, Amsterdam avea propriul templu al muzicii si foarte repede s-a dovedit a fi una dintre cele mai bune sali de concerte. O jumatate de an mai tarziu, pe 3 noiembrie 1888, Orchestra Concertgebouw a sustinut primul sau concert. Sub bageta dirijorilor Willem Kes si Willem Mengelberg, in scurt timp a devenit unul dintre cele mai importante ansambluri muzicale ale Europei. In 1897, compozitorul Richard Strauss vorbea de aceasta orchestra in termenii: “cu adevarat magnifica, plina de vigoare si de entuziasmul tineresc”, iar la inceputul secolului XX, sute de compozitori si dirijori au venit in Amsterdam sa cante alaturi de faimoasa orchestra.

  • Ayr Choral Union 1876-2016
    2 Acknowledgements Acknowledgements are due firstly to past recorders of ACU - the careful writers of revealing minutes of meetings, the “Keepers of the Box”, the hoarders of programmes, letters, news clips and minutiae, and previous Archivists. Tony Kerrigan gave enormous assistance with photographs. Staff at the Ayrshire Archive and Carnegie Library in Ayr have also been most helpful. David Cassels, who produced a 1976 History of ACU, largely based on a 1905 Bazaar programme, provided an excellent starting point. Above all thanks must go to the late Ronnie Brash, historian, enthusiast, tenor, and ACU archivist until 2012, to whom this book is dedicated. Much of the content in this version is taken verbatim from Minutes, reflecting the voices of ACU, and may not always be strictly accurate or objective.

  • National Library of Ireland Nuacht
    Number 38: Winter 2009 NEWS The Library’s latest exhibition, Discover your National Library: Explore, Reflect, Connect provides a unique opportunity for the public to view first-hand a representative selection of the Library’s holdings – the world’s largest and most comprehensive collection of Irish documentary material numbering almost eight million items including maps, prints, drawings, manuscripts, photographs, books, newspapers and periodicals. Among the artefacts currently on display are rare manuscripts such as the Book of Maguaran dating from the Middle Ages and a deed signed by Sir Walter Raleigh. There are also curiosities such as a 1795 lottery ticket (we don’t know if it won), and more contemporary items such as a set of cigarette cards illustrated by Jack Yeats from the 1930s. 2009 marked the Bogs Commission bicentenary, an event which the exhibition celebrates by focusing on the achievements of the 18th century and early 19th century pioneers who managed to produce large and very detailed maps of Ireland’s bogs in the period before the advent of the Ordnance Survey. The effort to survey the bogs was driven by the need to see if it was feasible to grow crops such as corn or hemp on Ireland’s bogs, at a time when the English government was fighting the Napoleonic wars and suffering economic shortages. Leabharlann Náisiúnta na hÉireann National Library of Ireland Throughout, the exhibition makes extensive use of digital media, with special features including a series of screened talks by the Library’s curators describing the significance or importance of certain exhibition items.

Most of the works were performed and recorded from photocopies of the manuscripts held in Schnittke’s family archive in Moscow and in Hamburg and at the Alfred Schnittke Archive in Goldsmiths, University of London. Piano Preludes (1953–54) The Piano Preludes were written during Schnittke’s years at the Moscow Conservatory, 1953–54; before then he had studied piano at the Moscow Music College from 1949 to 1953. An advanced player, he most enjoyed Rachmaninov and Scriabin, although he also learned and played some of Chopin’s Etudes as well as Rachmaninov’s Second and the Grieg Piano Concerto.
