In Europe, performers and the general public alike continue to exhibit a steady interest in the composer decades after his death. Even now, the heritage of the master has great repertoire potential given that the number of his written works is on par with composers such as S. Prokofiev, F. Poulenc, D. Shostako- vich, etc. The significance of this figure for researchers including D. Mitchell, C. Palmer, F. Rupprecht, A. Whittall, F. Reed, L. Walker, N. Abels and others, who continue to turn to various areas of his work, is not exhausted. Britten nature as a composer was determined by two main constants: poetry and music. In- deed, his art is inextricably linked with the word.

    WALTON Viola Concerto.1 SINDING Suite in the Old Style2 • Eivind Holtsmark Ringstad (va); 2Arvid Engegård, 1Joshua Weilerstein, cond; Oslo P • LAWO 1133 (41:27) Viola Concertos AUDIO CD; IMPORT Lawo Classics Given the relative scarcity of neo-Romantic viola concertos, you would think that violists would be eager to pick the late-blooming, lush fruit of William Walton’s concerto, but for some reason they don’t seem to be and never really have been since it was written in 1929. Not only has the piece not been recorded that often, but to add a bit of irony to it, among the recordings that have been made over the years, a number of the better-known ones are by violinists who have temporarily switched to the viola for the occasion, for example Yehudi Menuhin, Nigel Kennedy, and Maxim Vengerov. That is not to say that violists of note haven’t been heard from. Two recordings I have and take pleasure in feature violists Nobuko Imai and Lawrence Power; and though unfortunately it’s not a recording I have, there is quite possibly the definitive version of the work with William Primrose under the baton of Walton himself conducting the Philharmonia Orchestra. Norwegian-born (1994) violist Eivind Holtsmark Ringstad is a rising young Scandinavian artist who made his debut with the Oslo Philharmonic in 2013, launching him on an international career. Based on this new release, which I take to be Ringstad’s first commercial recording, I can attest that he is very, very talented, indeed. If you are unfamiliar with Walton’s concerto, or you do know it but have never warmed to it, I would strongly urge you to hear this performance of it.

This dissertation will serve as a unifying element in bringing the Armenians in the diaspora and in the homeland together through the power of music. The information collected for each piece includes instrumentation, duration, publisher information, and other details. This research will be beneficial for music students, conductors, orchestra managers, festival organizers, cultural event planning and those studying the influences of Armenian folk music in orchestral writing. It is especially intended to be useful in searching for music by Armenian composers for thematic and cultural programing, as it should aid in the acquisition of parts from publishers. In the early part of the 20th century, Armenian people were oppressed by the Ottoman government and a mass genocide against Armenians occurred. Many Armenians fled

  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE www.kingslynnfestival.org.uk/press February 9 2009 Exciting variety for 2009 programme An exciting variety of entertainment, ranging from a top German orchestra to The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain and Classic Brit award winners Blake, will give this summer’s King’s Lynn Festival especially broad appeal. With favourites from the classical music world, jazz, folk and top-name writers, artistic director Ambrose Miller said the line-up offered “something for everyone”. “By widening the appeal of the event we are not compromising our high standards but are continuing our tradition of excellence in all that we do,” he said. Classical music remains the cornerstone of the 59th Festival and includes a visit by Berlin Symphoniker, a leading German orchestra. Classic BRIT 2008 Album of the Year award winners Blake, four classically-trained singers who have successfully bridged the gap between pop and opera, will make their first appearance in the area. Their meteoric rise to stardom has included singing at the Queen’s 80th birthday party at Windsor Castle, and their version of Swing Low became the official anthem of the England team in the 2007 Rugby World Cup. The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain has proved a sensation, selling out where ever they appear. Their first gig in 1985 was intended as a one-off but they were soon touring the world and have been described as “a musical phenomenon”. The Mike Piggott Hot Club Trio with perform their tribute to the legendary jazz violinist Stephane Grappelli, and folk music by Martin Carthy and Dave Swarbrick.
