PRESS RELEASE for Immediate Release
PRESS RELEASE For immediate release MAAZEL: MAHLER CYCLE 2011 London’s only complete Mahler symphony cycle led by a single conductor 2011 is a year of major worldwide Mahler celebrations and the Philharmonia Orchestra is marking this event by bringing Lorin Maazel, one of the world’s finest Mahlerians, to London to perform a heroic one-man journey through all ten Mahler symphonies and four major orchestral song cycles over ten concerts from April-October 2011. Maazel and the Philharmonia presented the first complete Mahler symphony cycle in London 33 years ago, in 1978-9. This series also includes concerts in Basingstoke, Bristol, Gateshead, Hull, Manchester and Warwick, a 13-concert tour to France, Germany, Italy and Luxembourg and a tour of the Far East in spring 2012. As the only full symphony cycle in London taking place with a single conductor, this promises to be a very special exploration of the work of the great composer. Soloists include Michelle DeYoung, Simon Keenlyside, Sarah Fox, Matthias Goerne, Stefan Vinke and Sarah Connolly. The series also includes the Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen, Rückert- Lieder, Des Knaben Wunderhorn and Das Lied von der Erde. Lorin Maazel said of Mahler, and of his own relationship with Mahler’s music: “He was a complete human being who had this genius for spanning the complete gamut of human emotions in sound. It’s the human quality, the person behind the notes as well as the music behind the notes that fascinates me. I really feel as if I’ve come to know Gustav Mahler, the person, intimately -

A Second Miracle at Cana: Recent Musical Discoveries in Veronese's Wedding Feast
BASSANO 11 A SECOND MIRACLE AT CANA: RECENT MUSICAL DISCOVERIES IN VERONESE'S WEDDING FEAST Peter Bossano 1.And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: 2. And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. 3. And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. 4. Jesus saith unto her, Woman what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. 5. His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. 6. And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. 7. Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. 8. And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it. 9. When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, 10.And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worst; but thou hast kept the good wine until now. —John 2: 1-10 (KingJames Version) In Paolo Veronese's painting of the Wedding Feast at Cana, as in St. John's version of this story, not everything is as at seems. -

Posta spesso in secondo piano rispetto alla seconda e più celebre “La Tempesta”, una delle poche composizioni beethoveniane ad avere un riferimento esplicito all’opera di Shakespeare, la n. 1 è invece un’opera straordinaria e innovativa, il cui carattere giocoso e umoristico è chiaro fin dal primo movimento. L’adagio grazioso è scritto nello stile operistico italiano precedente a Rossini: è presente una varietà di articolazioni, che sembrano di volta in volta pronunciare, declamare e cantare il materiale musicale e tematico. Il Rondò allegretto, presenta un tema tipico di questa forma con molte ripetizioni. Alla fine, frammentate da pause, le ripetizioni dell’accordo di tonica spaziano dal pianissimo al fortissimo, ricordando le ultime battute del Primo movimento.
