Programme Information Programme information Saturday 6th April to Friday 12th April 2019 WEEK 15 Above: Alan Titchmarsh and Rob Cowan ANDRE PREVIN: A LIFE IN MUSIC (continueD) Saturday 6th April 7am to 10am: Alan TitcHmarsH 7pm to 9pm: Cowan’s Classics with Rob Cowan On what would have been André Previn’s 90th birthday, Alan Titchmarsh and Rob Cowan complete Classic FM’s week-long tribute to the great conductor, pianist and composer. From Rob Cowan: “Celebrating what would have been André Previn’s 90th on Cowan’s Classics brings back precious memories of a breakfast interview in Vienna back in 1997, talking to the great man about Ravel, Richard Strauss, Vaughan Williams, Mozart and film music. I remember his suave manner, caustic wit and obvious enthusiasm for the music he loved most. I’ve a terrific selection planned, ranging from Vaughan Williams evoking Westminster at night, to something sleek and sweet by Previn himself, Satie’s restful Gymnopedie No. 1 and Rachmaninov’s most famous piano concerto with Vladimir Ashkenazy as soloist. Here’s hoping that on Classic FM, I play all the right pieces in the right order...” Classic FM is available across the UK on 100-102 FM, DAB Digital radio anD TV, the Classic FM app, at ClassicFM.com and on the Global Player. 1 WEEK 15 SATURDAY 6TH APRIL 7am to 10am: ALAN TITCHMARSH Join Alan for his Great British Discovery and Gardening Tip after 8am, followed by a very special Classic FM Hall of Fame Hour at 9am. André Previn died in February at the age of 89; today would have been his 90th birthday, so, ahead of a special programme with Rob Cowan tonight, Alan dedicates the Classic FM Hall of Fame Hour to Previn’s finest recordings as both conductor and pianist. Back in 1971, Previn famously appeared alongside Morecambe and Wise on their prime-time TV show where he conducted Grieg’s Piano Concerto, and this morning, Alan features the opening movement of that very work. Other highlights include Previn at the helm of the London Symphony Orchestra and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, both of which he led for several years. 5pm to 7pm: SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE MOVIES with ANDREW COLLINS All great anti-heroes need a noble defeat, as well as fine music to accompany them when they meet their fate. Tonight, Andrew showcases film scores that provide the musical theme for the villains you love to hate. The highlights include John Williams’ urgent Imperial March that heralds the impending arrival of Darth Vader, and Howard Shore’s eerie score to The Silence of the Lambs. And of course, no list of villains would be complete without the appearance of Alan Rickman’s cultured and conniving Hans Gruber, foiled by John McClane in Die Hard. 7pm to 9pm: COWAN’S CLASSICS with ROB COWAN All this week on Classic FM, we’ve been celebrating the life and music of André Previn, who passed away in February at the age of 89. Today would have been his 90th birthday, so tonight, Rob Cowan rounds off our station-wide tribute by presenting his favourite recordings by the great conductor, pianist and composer. Selections include Previn’s own composition The Blue Subterranean, utterly characteristic in its sublime ‘cool’ and sensual tunefulness; Previn as pianist in the exuberant Septet by Saint-Saens; and, to round off the evening, a classic recording of the young Previn, conducting the London Symphony Orchestra in Walton’s Symphony No.1. 2 SATURDAY 6TH APRIL 9pm to 10pm: TURNING POINTS with JULIE WALTERS (6 / 7) Julie Walters presents the sixth episode in the new series of Turning Points: the programme that explores the moments when the course of classical music history changed forever. Tonight, Julie celebrates the most important inventions in the history of classical music, and the sparks of genius that changed how music was made and listened to. Julie looks at the invention of instruments, starting in a cave 67,000 years ago, to the invention of the saxophone in 1846, via the most famous violins of all time. We’ll also hear music by the French composer Jean Baptiste Lully, whose invention became the death of him, and the piece of music that set the industry standard for CD recording: Beethoven’s Symphony No.9. 3 SUNDAY 7TH APRIL 3pm to 5pm: CHARLOTTE HAWKINS This week, Charlotte’s Young Classical Star is the American violinist Benjamin Bielman. Born in 1989, Bielman is quickly building an impressive international reputation for his eloquent music making, rich tone and stunning virtuosity. Having won several prestigious competitions over the past decade, he now performs worldwide with major orchestras and is one of the fastest-rising stars of his generation. This afternoon, Charlotte shares a performance from his latest album, which celebrates the music of Schubert, Janacek and Debussy. 7pm to 9pm: DAVID MELLOR 2019 marks 150 years since the death of the French composer, Hector Berlioz. Tonight, David marks this significant anniversary with some of the most respected recordings of the music of Berlioz, his contemporaries and influences. We’ll hear Sir Thomas Beecham’s take on the vivid Symphonie Fantastique, contrasted with the ‘Love Scene’ from Romeo & Juliet. David also features the ‘Dance of the Brigands’ from Harold in Italy, which Berlioz was encouraged to write by the Italian virtuoso, Niccolo Paganini. 9pm to 10pm: EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT CLASSICAL MUSIC with CATHERINE BOTT Catherine dedicates tonight’s programme to some comprehensive musical jargon- busting! If you’ve ever wondered what a descant is, how composers expertly use major and minor keys, or what Beethoven’s Symphony No.5 possibly has in common with Puccini’s La bohème, join Catherine for another Sunday night date with discovery as she answers the questions you’ve been asking. 4 MONDAY 8TH APRIL 8pm to 10pm: THE FULL WORKS CONCERT – SIR ADRIAN BOULT The English conductor Sir Adrian Boult was born 130 years ago today and tonight, Jane Jones shines the spotlight on the life and music of the influential maestro. Elgar’s CocKaigne Overture opens our concert, with Boult at the helm of the London Philharmonic Orchestra, an ensemble he revived as Chief Conductor in 1950. Elgar is just one of the British composers that Boult championed. Tonight we’ll also hear music by Holst, Vaughan Williams – who he became lifelong friends with at Oxford – and Walton, whose Orb and Sceptre Boult conducted at the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. Jane also features performances by prominent conductors of later generations who were influenced by Boult, including Vernon Handley and Sir Colin Davis, alongside a favourite by Debussy, who Boult travelled to hear conduct as a schoolboy. Edward Elgar Cockaigne Overture Opus 40 Adrian Boult conducts the London Philharmonic Orchestra Ludwig van Beethoven Symphony No.7 in A major Opus 92 Colin Davis conducts Staatskapelle Dresden William Walton Orb & Sceptre Adrian Boult conducts the London Philharmonic Orchestra Gustav Holst Invocation Cello: Julian Lloyd Webber Vernon Handley conducts the Philharmonia Orchestra Claude Debussy Suite Bergamasque Piano: Jean-Yves Thibaudet Ralph Vaughan Williams Norfolk Rhapsody No.1 Adrian Boult conducts the New Philharmonia Orchestra 5 TUESDAY 9TH APRIL 8pm to 10pm: THE FULL WORKS CONCERT – WAR OF THE ROMANTICS Jane Jones takes listeners on a musical journey through one of classical music’s chains of connections, the ‘War of the Romantics’. Beginning with Brahms’s Academic Festival Overture, Jane links between various composers and their music, finishing with a composer who Brahms opposed musically: Wagner. We’ll hear music by Robert Schumann, Tchaikovsky and Liszt. They are all linked by Schumann’s wife, Clara; Liszt’s illegitimate daughter, Cosima; Cosima’s first husband, Hans von Bulow; and her second husband, Wagner. Join Jane as she unravels one of the musical webs of the Romantic era. Johannes Brahms Academic Festival Overture Opus 80 Marin Alsop conducts the London Philharmonic Orchestra Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No.1 in B-flat minor Opus 23 Piano: Beatrice Rana Antonio Pappano conducts the National Academy of St. Cecilia Orchestra Robert Schumann Konzertstuck for 4 horns in F Opus 86 Horns: Andrew Joy, Joachim Poltl, Kathleen Putnam, Rainer Jurkiewicz Hans Vonk conducts the Cologne Radio Symphony Orchestra Franz Liszt Un Sospiro Piano: Lang Lang Richard Wagner Siegfried Idyll Christian Thielemann conducts the German Opera Orchestra of Berlin 6 WEDNESDAY 10TH APRIL 8pm to 10pm: THE FULL WORKS CONCERT – CZECH FAVOURITES Tonight, Jane Jones shines the spotlight on the Czech Republic and some of the great musical talent nurtured there. Smetana’s overture to his comic opera The Bartered Bride begins tonight’s Full Works Concert, contrasted with elegant music by the Czech Republic’s most famous composer, Dvorak. As well as his status as a composer, Dvorak was also a very well- respected teacher. Later in the programme, Jane features a hidden gem by one of Dvorak’s pupils, and eventual son-in-law, Josef Suk, followed by a performance by his great-grandson of the same name. Bedrich Smetana The Bartered Bride – Overture Libor Pesek conducts the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra Antonin Dvorak Serenade for Strings Opus 22 Neville Marriner conducts the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields Ennio Morricone Gabriel’s Oboe Paul Bateman conducts the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra Leopold Kozeluch Piano Concerto No.5 in E-flat major Howard Shelley leads the London Mozart Players from the keyboard Josef Suk Serenade for Strings Opus 6 Jiri Belohlavek conducts the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra Giovanni Battista PergolesiConcertino No.2 in G major Violin: Josef Suk Suk Chamber Orchestra 7 THURSDAY 11TH APRIL 8pm to 10pm: THE FULL WORKS CONCERT – SIR CHARLES HALLÉ Sir Charles Hallé was born on this day 200 years ago and tonight, Catherine Bott shines the spotlight on the life, music and influence of the great pianist and conductor.

  • Benjamin Grosvenor, Piano
    BENJAMIN GROSVENOR, PIANO a formidable technician and a thoughtful, coolly assured interpreter - Allan Kozinn, New York Times, ...a skill and talent not heard since Kissins teenage Russian debut - Bryce Morrison, Gramophone Magazine British pianist Benjamin Grosvenor is internationally recognized for his electrifying performances and penetrating interpretations. An exquisite technique and ingenious flair for tonal colour are the hallmarks which make Benjamin Grosvenor one of the most sought-after young pianists in the world. His virtuosic command over the most strenuous technical complexities never compromises the formidable depth and intelligence of his interpretations. Described by some as a Golden Age pianist (American Record Guide) and one almost from another age (The Times), Benjamin is renowned for his distinctive sound, described as poetic and gently ironic, brilliant yet clear-minded, intelligent but not without humour, all translated through a beautifully clear and singing touch (The Independent). Benjamin first came to prominence as the outstanding winner of the Keyboard Final of the 2004 BBC Young Musician Competition at the age of eleven. Since then, he has become an internationally regarded pianist performing with orchestras including the London Philharmonic, RAI Torino, New York Philharmonic, Philharmonia, Tokyo Symphony, and in venues such as the Royal Festival Hall, Barbican Centre, Singapores Victoria Hall, The Frick Collection and Carnegie Hall (at the age of thirteen). Benjamin has worked with numerous esteemed conductors including Vladimir Ashkenazy, Jií Blohlávek, Semyon Bychkov and Vladimir Jurowski. At just nineteen, Benjamin performed with the BBC Symphony Orchestra on the First Night of the 2011 BBC Proms to a sold-out Royal Albert Hall.

  • Sir Mark Elder Leads CSO in Exploration of Literature's Influence
    ChicagoPride.com News December 13, 2011 Sir Mark Elder leads CSO in exploration of literature's influence on music By GoPride.com News Staff December 13, 2011 https://chicago.gopride.com/news/article.cfm/articleid/24335776 CST actors also to perform scenes from selected plays, January 5-10, and 12-15 CHICAGO, IL -- British conductor Sir Mark Elder makes his return to Orchestra Hall for a two-week residency that explores the influence of Shakespeare and other works of literature on music and features actors from Chicago Shakespeare Theater (CST), under the direction of CST Artistic Director Barbara Gaines, bringing the Bard's words to life. Sir Mark Elder's first subscription week of concerts on January 5-10, is an all-Berlioz program, highlighted by the Queen Mab Scherzo and Romeo at the Tomb from the composer's Romeo and Juliet. Select readings from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, performed by Brendan Marshall-Rashid and Susan Strunk from the Chicago Shakespeare Theater, precede these two works. British violist Lawrence Power also makes his CSO debut on these concerts and is featured in Berlioz's Harold in Italy, a work Paganini encouraged Berlioz to compose and was inspired by Lord Byron's poetry. Elder concludes his two-week winter residency January 12-15, with a further exploration into Shakespeare's influence on music through works by Delius, Elgar, Rimsky-Korsakov and Tchaikovsky. Included on the program is Elgar's rarely performed orchestral work Falstaff, which portrays Shakespeare's Sir John Falstaff from Henry IV.

  • Navigating, Coping & Cashing In
    The RECORDING Navigating, Coping & Cashing In Maze November 2013 Introduction Trying to get a handle on where the recording business is headed is a little like trying to nail Jell-O to the wall. No matter what side of the business you may be on— producing, selling, distributing, even buying recordings— there is no longer a “standard operating procedure.” Hence the title of this Special Report, designed as a guide to the abundance of recording and distribution options that seem to be cropping up almost daily thanks to technology’s relentless march forward. And as each new delivery CONTENTS option takes hold—CD, download, streaming, app, flash drive, you name it—it exponentionally accelerates the next. 2 Introduction At the other end of the spectrum sits the artist, overwhelmed with choices: 4 The Distribution Maze: anybody can (and does) make a recording these days, but if an artist is not signed Bring a Compass: Part I with a record label, or doesn’t have the resources to make a vanity recording, is there still a way?

  • Psaudio Copper
    Issue 77 JANUARY 28TH, 2019 Welcome to Copper #77! I hope you had a better view of the much-hyped lunar-eclipse than I did---the combination of clouds and sleep made it a non-event for me. Full moon or no, we're all Bozos on this bus---in the front seat is Larry Schenbeck, who brings us music to counterbalance the blah weather; Dan Schwartz brings us Burritos for lunch; Richard Murison brings us a non-Python Life of Brian; Jay Jay French chats with Giles Martin about the remastered White Album; Roy Hall tells us about an interesting day; Anne E. Johnson looks at lesser-known cuts from Steely Dan's long career; Christian James Hand deconstructs the timeless "Piano Man"; Woody Woodward is back with a piece on seminal blues guitarist Blind Blake; and I consider comfort music, and continue with a Vintage Whine look at Fairchild. Our reviewer friend Vade Forrester brings us his list of guidelines for reviewers. Industry News will return when there's something to write about other than Sears. Copper#77 wraps up with a look at the unthinkable from Charles Rodrigues, and an extraordinary Parting Shot taken in London by new contributor Rich Isaacs. Enjoy, and we’ll see you soon! Cheers, Leebs. Stay Warm TOO MUCH TCHAIKOVSKY Written by Lawrence Schenbeck It’s cold, it’s gray, it’s wet. Time for comfort food: Dvořák and German lieder and tuneful chamber music. No atonal scratching and heaving for a while! No earnest searches after our deepest, darkest emotions. What we need—musically, mind you—is something akin to a Canadian sitcom.
