LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN FIDELIO Nicole Chevalier Leonore (Fidelio) CLASSICAL MUSIC PREMIERES MIPCOM 2020 100 years Salzburg Festival with two new operas, 23 concerts and three documentaries Fidelio by Christoph Waltz · Mozart y Mambo · Rossini Opera Festival · Arena di Verona et al. SALZBURGER FESTSPIELE Dear Classical Music Lover, Normally we would present to you our latest programmes in Prague at Golden Prague or in Cannes at MIPCOM. But since neither of them will take place, we have come up with a new "format" and from now on we will regularly inform you about all our new programmes with our "Unitel Premieres" magazine. These past months have been special for all of us and we are proud that our partners have managed to put together a truly extraordinary line up of new programmes despite Corona: First and foremost, the Salzburg Festival has proven what is possible with its groundbreaking security concept and created the "Miracle of Salzburg" for its 100th anniversary: more than 25 programmes of the highest quality, both musical and cinematic. We are presenting highlights on the next pages, the complete listing is in our special catalogue, available on our homepage www.unitel.de But also the Arena di Verona, the Rossini Opera Festival, the Teatro Massimo, the Bergen National Opera and the Grafenegg Festival have found creative solutions to present themselves to the audience. Soloists such as Cameron Carpenter, Daniel Barenboim or András Schiff, or orchestras like the Wiener Symphoniker and Munich Phil took advantage of the break and offered us special concerts for the camera. Just like in March, when the Theater an der Wien reacted quickly and transformed the opera house into a film studio for Christoph Waltz’s Fidelio. We hope that with your help many of these great programmes will reach the largest possible audience! Sincerely yours Unitel CONTACT US Unitel GmbH & Co.

  • Intervju: Anna Vinnitskaya
    Intervju: Anna Vinnitskaya Jag vill lämna publiken med upplevelser som efter en bra film, med nya erfarenheter och upplevelser, snarare än att imponera med virtuositet Konsertpianisten Anna Vinnitskaya tog emot CAPRICCIO på Konzerthaus i Berlin i våras i samband medhennes framförande av Dmitrij Sjostakovitjs första pianokonsert. Vinnitskaya övar när jag anländer, och jag väntar avsiktligt med att knacka på dörren till repetitionsrummet för att inte avbryta mitt i en fras i Rachmaninovs tredje pianokonsert. Samma dag som vårt samtal ägde rum släpptes även hennes senaste skiva med Bachkonserter för piano, inspelad medEvgeni Koroliov, Ljupka Hadzi Georgievaoch Kammerakademie Potsdam (Alpha). Anna Vinnitskaya föddes 1983 i Novorossiysk vid Svarta havet. Båda hennes föräldrar var pianister och hon tog tidigt pianolektioner, från sex års ålder. Hon har gett konserter internationellt sedan hon var sju år gammal. När Vinnitskaya var liten fann hon glädje i musikutövandet; som tonåring blev pianospelandet dock alltmer en form av yrkesidentitet nästan i en slags sportslig riktning för den vänsterhänta pianisten. Hon gav sin första stora konsert – Sjostakovitjs andra pianokonsert – när hon var tolv år gammal. Vinnitskaya har vunnit ett antal tävlingar, första gången när hon var tretton, bland annat Queen Elizabeth Competition i Bryssel 2007 då hon vann första pris – hon var den andra kvinnliga pianisten någonsin att vinna tävlingen – och Leonard Bernstein Award 2008. Hon har även bland annat gett en Junge Wilde- konsert i Dortmund, och gav ut sitt debutalbum 2009. Vinnitskaya är ”Artist in Residence” vid Dresdner Philharmoniker innevarande säsong som kommer att avslutas med just Rachmaninovs tredje pianokonsert i juni 2020. Anna Vinnitskaya © Marco Borggreve Upplevde du att du egentligen någonsin hade något val? Valde du pianot? – För att vara ärlig, nej, valet var inte mitt.

He recorded two versions of Bach’s great composition—once in 1955 and again in 1981. It is a testament to Gould’s genius that he could record the same piece of music twice—so differently, yet each version brilliant in its own way. Glenn Gould— A State Of Wonder brings together both of Gould’s legendary performances of The Goldberg Variations for the first time in a deluxe, digitally remastered, 3-CD set. Sony Classical celebrates the 70th anniversary of Glenn Gould's birth with a collection of limited edition CDs. This beautifully packaged collection contains the cornerstones of Gould’s career that marked him as a genius of our time. A supreme intrepreter of Bach, these recordings are an essential addition to every music collection.

The journey of discovery is an important one for us all as human beings, and especially for musicians and music lovers. The end point may be finding exciting new places, people, things or knowledge, but often it’s the actual process of discovery that leaves the greatest mark on us. The musicians of the Baltic Sea Philharmonic, together with Kristjan Järvi, will be making and offering many discoveries on this tour – travelling to new cities, collaborating with new partners, performing rarely heard music and playing to new audiences, some of whom have never heard classical music live before. But more than all of this, they will have their eyes and ears open to the world and the people around them. As Proust said: ‘The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.’ We look forward to sharing our new vision with you. beyond music More than the music notes on the page Find out about our motivation and our journey, as well as about the concert schedule and the pieces you will be hearing. beyond borders 06 Borders exist only on maps: we are teaching students to be free in their thinking and in their music Travel in time with us through our past achievements and into our future ambitions. 28 beyond culture We have evolved from a youth orchestra into a social movement Discover Kristjan Järvi’s mission and Gidon Kremer’s beyond views about the future of music, and meet Kremerata countries Baltica and Lidia Baich.

The Frick Collection presents its seventy-fifth anniversary season of classical music concerts in the elegant setting of the museum’s Music Room. Debuting in 1938, just three years after The Frick Collection opened to the public; the concert series is one of the most celebrated in New York City and has delighted thousands of visitors over the years with world-class performances ranging from solo recitals to chamber music groups to early music ensembles. The Music Room, built in 1935 as part of the transformation of the private mansion into a museum and the setting for concerts since then, conveys the atmosphere of a private salon, offering performers and attendees a uniquely intimate environment and impressive acoustics. A New York Times critic described the spectacular setting of the Music Room as “probably the best place in New York to hear chamber music. It is certainly the most authentic; much of the repertory was written to be played in exactly such a room.” During its distinguished history, the concert program has been recognized for the special niche it fills in the highly competitive and rich world of music performance in New York.
