Programme Information Programme information Saturday 18th August to Friday 24th August 2018 WEEK 34 KIRSTY GALLACHER Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th August, 1pm to 3pm Kirsty Gallacher – one of the UK’s best loved TV presenters – makes her debut behind the Classic FM mic this weekend. She is sitting in for Alexander Armstrong to host his Saturday and Sunday afternoon shows while he’s on holiday. 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 34 SATURDAY 18 AUGUST 1pm to 3pm: KIRSTY GALLACHER Join Kirsty Gallacher – sitting in for a holidaying Alexander Armstrong – as she makes her debut behind the Classic FM mic this afternoon. 5pm to 7pm: SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE MOVIES with ANDREW COLLINS This evening, Andrew Collins celebrates children’s films across the decades – and the great scores that helped to bring them to life on the big-screen. The programme features music from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Mary Poppins, Bedknobs and Broomsticks and Harry Potter. Andrew also selects popular animation scores including Frozen, The Jungle Book and The Lion King, promising to evoke happy memories for young and old alike. 7pm to 9pm: COWAN’S CLASSICS with ROB COWAN Tonight, Mozart’s Symphony No.40 is the starting point as Rob then takes us Beyond the Hall of Fame, with a lesser-known but similar piece that does not appear in Classic FM’s annual listener poll. Meanwhile, Rob’s Artist of the Week is the conductor Gerard Schwarz. On the eve of Schwarz’s 71st birthday, Rob will showcase some of the finest recordings from across his career. 9pm to 10pm: LEONARD BERNSTEIN’S JOY OF MUSIC with HUMPHREY BURTON Humphrey Burton continues Classic FM’s summer series celebrating one of the 20th century’s most famous and influential musicians: Leonard Bernstein. As Bernstein’s official biographer, Humphrey offers an unparalleled insight into the life and music of the outstanding composer, conductor and pianist – in this, his centenary year. Tonight, Humphrey presents an evening of jazz with a symphonic twist, including Bernstein’s Prelude, Fugue and Riffs with Benny Goodman as the solo clarinettist and Bernstein himself conducting the Columbia Jazz Band. 2 SUNDAY 19 AUGUST 3pm to 5pm: CHARLOTTE HAWKINS Charlotte plays the perfect selection of Classic FM favourites and new discoveries, with a particular focus on young artists. This week’s Young Classical Star is the 17-year-old Swedish violinist, Daniel Lozakovich, who could have led a very different life. Lozakovich’s parents once believed he would become a professional tennis player (he showed tremendous sporting prowess from a very early age) but when he turned 6, he put down the tennis racket and picked up a violin. Now, 11 years later, Lozakovich has released his debut album on the prestigious Deutsche Grammophon label; we’ll hear highlights from it this afternoon. 9pm to 10pm: EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT CLASSICAL MUSIC with CATHERINE BOTT On this day in 1847, Hector Berlioz turned down a job at the Paris Opera in order to take up a music directorship at Drury Lane in London. Tonight, Catherine Bott takes inspiration from this to create a programme about composers moving to, and working in, London. Catherine will take us on a musical tour of the city, stopping at Cecil Court where a young Mozart stayed, to Brook Street and a former home of Handel – and a couple of centuries later, Jimi Hendrix! – and also Regent Street and the site of the UK premiere of Beethoven’s Symphony No.9. 3 MONDAY 20 AUGUST 8pm to 10pm: THE FULL WORKS CONCERT – NATIONAL TREASURES Jane Jones presents an evening of music written by some of Europe’s most treasured composers. The evening begins in England, with Edward Elgar’s Pomp & Circumstance March No.1. We’ll also stop off in Germany for Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No.2; pays visit to the homes of Grieg, Dvorak and Chopin; and travel across the North Sea to Finland, for the most nationalistic piece of music by that country’s most famous composer, Sibelius. Edward Elgar Pomp & Circumstance No.1 in D major Opus 39 Mark Elder conducts the Halle Orchestra Ludwig van Beethoven Piano Concerto No.2 in B-flat major Opus 19 Lars Vogt leads the Orchestra of Opera North from the keyboard Jean Sibelius Finlandia Opus 26 Osmo Vanska conducts the Lahti Symphony Orchestra Edvard Grieg Holberg Suite Opus 40 Neville Marriner conducts the Academy of St Martin in the Fields Frederic Chopin Polonaise in A major Opus 40 No.1 Piano: Vladimir Ashkenazy Johann Strauss Junior Tales from the Vienna Woods Opus 325 Riccardo Muti conducts the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra Antonin Dvorak Czech Suite Opus 39 Jose Serebrier conducts the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra 4 TUESDAY 21 AUGUST 8pm to 10pm: THE FULL WORKS CONCERT – BADLY BEHAVED COMPOSERS Jane Jones presents an evening of music written by the naughtiest of composers. Did you know, for example, that Haydn was expelled from school? Or that Mozart used to play practical jokes on unsuspecting performers, while Handel found himself on the receiving end of an irritating prank? Tonight, hear the tales behind their troublesome past, alongside some of their greatest music. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart The Magic Flute – Overture Claudio Abbado conducts the Mahler Chamber Orchestra Claude Debussy Suite Bergamasque Piano: Ji Liu Jean Sibelius Karelia Suite Opus 11 Andrew Davis conducts the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra Henry Purcell & Jeremiah Clarke Trumpet Tune Philip Jones Brass Ensemble Joseph Haydn Symphony No.82 in C major Nikolaus Harnoncourt conducts the Concentus Musicus Vienna George Frideric Handel Music for the Royal Fireworks Alfredo Bernadini conducts Zefiro Ludwig van Beethoven Rondo a Capriccio in G major Opus 129 Piano: Alice Sara Ott 5 WEDNESDAY 22 AUGUST 8pm to 10pm: THE FULL WORKS CONCERT – A NIGHT THROUGH THE AGES On tonight’s Full Works Concert, Jane Jones presents a night through the ages, featuring a piece of music from each era of classical music. We start in the Baroque period, with Johann Sebastian Bach. Fast-forward nearly a century, and we’re in the Classical era with Joseph Haydn. Meanwhile, Ludwig van Beethoven proved to be crucial in the transition between the Classical and Romantic eras, and tonight, we hear a complete performance of his Symphony No.4. Later in the programme: piano music by Robert Schumann and Tchaikovsky’s famous Violin Concerto, and a modern-day piece by Karl Jenkins to round off the evening. Johann Sebastian Bach Prelude & Fugue No.1 in C major BWV.846 Piano: Angela Hewitt Joseph Haydn Trumpet Concerto in E-flat major Hob.VIIe:1 Alison Balsom leads the Germans Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra of Bremen from the trumpet Ludwig van Beethoven Symphony No.4 in B-flat major Opus 60 Riccardo Chailly conducts the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra Robert Schumann Kinderszenen Opus 15 Piano: Martha Argerich Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto in D major Opus 35 Violin: Anne-Sophie Mutter Andre Previn conducts the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra Karl Jenkins Adiemus Soloists: Mary Carewe and Miriam Stockley Karl Jenkins conducts the London Philharmonic Orchestra 6 THURSDAY 23 AUGUST 8pm to 10pm: THE FULL WORKS CONCERT – MILLION-SELLING MUSIC Tonight, Catherine Bott takes us on a journey through some of the most successful classical recordings ever made. We’ll hear iconic pieces, each one taken from a recording that’s sold over a million copies. Tonight’s star-studded line-up includes Nigel Kennedy, Herbert von Karajan leading the Berlin Philharmonic in a full performance of Beethoven’s Symphony No.9, the Hilliard Ensemble, and a real treat to close: The Three Tenors – Domingo, Carreras and Pavarotti – with two Italian greats, conducted by Zubin Mehta. Antonio Vivaldi Four Seasons Opus 8 – Spring Nigel Kennedy leads the English Chamber Orchestra from the violin Johann Strauss Junior Vienna Blood Opus 24 Seiji Ozawa conducts the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra Christobal de Morales Parce mihi Domine Jan Garbarek leads the Hilliard Ensemble from the saxophone Ludwig van Beethoven Symphony No.9 in D minor Opus 125 (‘Choral’) Soprano: Janet Perry Alto: Agnes Baltsa Tenor: Vinson Cole Bass: Jose van Dam Herbert von Karajan conducts the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra Richard Wagner Siegfried’s Funeral March (From Götterdämmerung) Georg Solti conducts the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra Eduardo di Capua ‘O Sole Mio’ Tenor: Placido Domingo Tenor: Jose Carreras Tenor: Luciano Pavarotti Zubin Mehta conducts the Orchestras of the Rome Opera House Continued... 7 THURSDAY 23 AUGUST 8pm to 10pm: THE FULL WORKS CONCERT – MILLION-SELLING MUSIC Continued...

Tonight’s programme opens with Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man, a piece which has been used as a sports theme, before political speeches, as royal processional music and even in outer space! We’ll also hear rousing marches by Verdi, John Ireland and Jeremiah Clarke, as well as Prokofiev’s ‘Dance of the Knights’ from Romeo & Juliet. Aaron Copland Fanfare for the Common Man Antal Dorati conducts the Detroit Symphony Orchestra Antonio Vivaldi Gloria in D major RV.589 John Eliot Gardiner

  • ARSC Journal
    A Discography of the Choral Symphony by J. F. Weber In previous issues of this Journal (XV:2-3; XVI:l-2), an effort was made to compile parts of a composer discography in depth rather than breadth. This one started in a similar vein with the realization that SO CDs of the Beethoven Ninth Symphony had been released (the total is now over 701). This should have been no surprise, for writers have stated that the playing time of the CD was designed to accommodate this work. After eighteen months' effort, a reasonably complete discography of the work has emerged. The wonder is that it took so long to collect a body of information (especially the full names of the vocalists) that had already been published in various places at various times. The Japanese discographers had made a good start, and some of their data would have been difficult to find otherwise, but quite a few corrections and additions have been made and some recording dates have been obtained that seem to have remained 1.Dlpublished so far. The first point to notice is that six versions of the Ninth didn't appear on the expected single CD. Bl:lhm (118) and Solti (96) exceeded the 75 minutes generally assumed (until recently) to be the maximum CD playing time, but Walter (37), Kegel (126), Mehta (127), and Thomas (130) were not so burdened and have been reissued on single CDs since the first CD release. On the other hand, the rather short Leibowitz (76), Toscanini (11), and Busch (25) versions have recently been issued with fillers.

  • Decca Discography
    DECCA DISCOGRAPHY >>V VIENNA, Austria, Germany, Hungary, etc. The Vienna Philharmonic was the jewel in Decca’s crown, particularly from 1956 when the engineers adopted the Sofiensaal as their favoured studio. The contract with the orchestra was secured partly by cultivating various chamber ensembles drawn from its membership. Vienna was favoured for symphonic cycles, particularly in the mid-1960s, and for German opera and operetta, including Strausses of all varieties and Solti’s “Ring” (1958-65), as well as Mackerras’s Janá ček (1976-82). Karajan recorded intermittently for Decca with the VPO from 1959-78. But apart from the New Year concerts, resumed in 2008, recording with the VPO ceased in 1998. Outside the capital there were various sessions in Salzburg from 1984-99. Germany was largely left to Decca’s partner Telefunken, though it was so overshadowed by Deutsche Grammophon and EMI Electrola that few of its products were marketed in the UK, with even those soon relegated to a cheap label. It later signed Harnoncourt and eventually became part of the competition, joining Warner Classics in 1990. Decca did venture to Bayreuth in 1951, ’53 and ’55 but wrecking tactics by Walter Legge blocked the release of several recordings for half a century. The Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra’s sessions moved from Geneva to its home town in 1963 and continued there until 1985. The exiled Philharmonia Hungarica recorded in West Germany from 1969-75. There were a few engagements with the Bavarian Radio in Munich from 1977- 82, but the first substantial contract with a German symphony orchestra did not come until 1982.

  • Ascolti Die Fledermaus
    Ascolti Luigi Bellingardi* La prima registrazione per Die Fledermaus è del 1949 con la direzione di Fe- renc Fricsay sul podio del Rias Kammerchor e della RIAS Sinfonieorchester di Berlino Ovest. Cantano Peter Anders (Eisenstein), Anny Schlemm (Rosalinde), Rita Streich (Adele), Silvia Menz (Ida), Helmut Krebs (Alfred), Herbert Brauer (Dr. Falke), Edwin Heyer (Dr. Blind), Hans Wocke (Frank), Anneliese Müller (Prinz Orlofsky), Fritz Hoppe (Frosch): interpretazione esemplare, notevole l’in- tensità espressiva di Fricsay (Deutsche Grammophon). Tra le incisioni degli anni Cinquanta si ricordano quelle condotte da Krauss, Karajan, Ackermann. Nel 1950 Clemens Krauss dirige il coro della Staatsoper di Vienna, i Wiener Philharmoniker e i cantanti Julius Patzak, Hilde Güden, Wilma Lipp, Anton Der- mota, Alfred Poell, August Jaresch, Kurt Preger, Sieglinde Wagner: mancano i parlati, Krauss è inarrivabile per eleganza d’espressione (Decca). Nel 1955 Her- bert von Karajan conduce il Coro e l’Orchestra Philharmonia con le voci di Ni- colai Gedda, Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Rita Streich, Luise Martini, Helmut Krebs, Erich Kunz, Erich Majkut, Karl Dönch, Rudolf Christ, Franz Böheim: splendida la direzione di Karajan nell’esaltare i mille colori dell’orchestra, con l’eccellente partecipazione di voci prestigiose (Naxos Historical). Nel 1959 Otto Ackermann dirige il Coro e l’Orchestra Philharmonia con i cantanti Karl Terkal, Gerda Scheyrer, Wilma Lipp, Luise Martini, Anton Dermota, Eberhard Wächter, Erich Majkut, Walter Berry, Christa Ludwig, Erich Kunz: Ackermann sottolinea mar- catamente il carattere viennese (EMI). Tra le registrazioni degli anni Sessanta si rammentano quelle condotte da Karajan e da Stolz. Nel 1960 Herbert von Ka- rajan è sul podio della Staatsoper di Vienna con Waldemar Kmentt, Hilde Gü- den, Erika Köth, Hedwig Schubert, Giuseppe Zampieri, Walter Berry, Peter Klein, Eberhard Wächter, Regina Resnik, Erich Kunz nel cast: si ascolta la ripre- sa di uno spettacolo trionfale (Decca).
