  • The Hours Begin to Sing Songs by American Composers Performed by Soprano Lisa Delan New Cd Released by Pentatone Classics
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE THE HOURS BEGIN TO SING SONGS BY AMERICAN COMPOSERS PERFORMED BY SOPRANO LISA DELAN NEW CD RELEASED BY PENTATONE CLASSICS A new CD, The Hours Begin to Sing, with songs by American composers performed by soprano Lisa Delan, has just been released on the PentaTone Classics label (PTC 5186 459). The recording features the art songs of William Bolcom, John Corigliano, David Garner, Gordon Getty, Jake Heggie and Luna Pearl Woolf and is the partner CD to the 2009 album And If The Song Be Worth A Smile. Ms. Delan and pianist Kristin Pankonin, joined by guest artists Matt Haimovitz, David Krakauer and Maxim Rubtsov, present four premiere recordings, three of which were written specifically for this disc. 2 Ms. Delan states, “To be part of the creative process of new songs from their inception to fruition is an exhilarating – and altogether humbling – experience. Myriad externalities influence the direction of the journey from the moment the text speaks to a composer until the moment the performers speak the text, but the great wonder is in what happens in-between, in the mind and hand of the composer.” Contents of the CD PentaTone Classics (PTC 5186 459) THE HOURS BEGIN TO SING Lisa Delan, soprano Kristin Pankonin, piano Matt Haimovitz, cello David Krakauer, clarinet Maxim Rubtsov, flute Jake Heggie (1961) – From The Book of Nightmares For Soprano, Cello, and Piano Poems by Galway Kinnell I.

  • Haimovitz Plays Bach Matt Haimovitz, Cello
    Miller Theatre at Columbia University 2015-16 | 27th Season Special Events Haimovitz Plays Bach Matt Haimovitz, cello Thursday, October 22, 8:00 p.m. Saturday, October 24, 8:00 p.m. From the Executive Director This October has been such a full and rewarding month so far. We celebrated John Luther Adams, recipient of the William Schuman Award, with three New York premiere concerts that captivated audiences with soundscapes inspired by the Arctic. We also opened our Early Music series with a screening of La Passion de Jeanne d’Arc accompanied by a medieval score devised and sung by the Orlando Consort. This week, Matt Haimovitz performs on the Miller stage and around Columbia’s campus, bringing Bach and new works to audiences in a myriad of spaces, and it has been lovely to see students and professors stumble upon a cello suite on their walks to class. Matt and I share a passion for bringing classical music to new audiences, and watching Matt deliver these suites to the Columbia community has been inspiring. Haimovitz Plays Bach culminates here at Miller with the presentation of the complete Bach Cello Suites and six accompanying new overtures. Each overture is a unique reflection of the composer’s experience with and interpretation of Bach. Next Tuesday, Ensemble Signal returns to continue our Pop-Up Concert series. This time, they’ll present pieces that inspire them as artists with an amazing repertoire that features solos for violin and cimbalom. In a few weeks, we kick off November and our Jazz series with the return of the incomparable Anat Cohen.

  • MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL Recordings of the Year 2019
    MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL Recordings Of The Year 2019 This is the seventeenth year that MusicWeb International has asked its reviewing team to nominate their recordings of the year. Reviewers are not restricted to discs they had reviewed, but the choices must have been reviewed on MWI in the last 12 months (December 2018-November 2019). The 128 selections have come from 27 members of the team and 65 different labels, the choices reflecting as usual, the great diversity of music and sources; I say that every year, but still the spread of choices surprises and pleases me. Of the selections, one has received three nominations: An English Coronation on Signum Classics and ten have received two nominations: Gounod’s Faust on Bru Zane Matthias Goerne’s Schumann Lieder on Harmonia Mundi Prokofiev’s Romeo & Juliet choreographed by John Cranko on C Major Marx’s Herbstymphonie on CPO Weinberg symphonies on DG Shostakovich piano works on Hyperion Late Beethoven sonatas on Hyperion Korngold orchestral works on Chandos Coates orchestral works on Chandos Music connected to Leonardo da Vinci on Alpha Hyperion was this year’s leading label with nine nominations, just ahead of C Major with eight. MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL RECORDING OF THE YEAR In this twelve month period, we published more than 2300 reviews. There is no easy or entirely satisfactory way of choosing one above all others as our Recording of the Year, but this year one recording in particular put itself forward as the obvious candidate. An English Coronation 1902-1953 Simon Russell Beale, Rowan Pierce, Matthew Martin, Gabrieli Consort; Gabrieli Roar; Gabrieli Players; Chetham’s Symphonic Brass Ensemble/Paul McCreesh rec.

Framed by Gabriella Smith’s bare, a moving chorale to environmental turmoil and Lisa Bielawa’s Missa Primavera, a hopeful fantasy on Josquin des Pres’ cantus firmi, Vijay Iyer, David Sanford, Nkeiru Okoye, Jorge Sosa, and others bring a multitude of influences from the world of Jazz and Latin music to Vivaldi and Scriabin. Recorded in January 2021 at Charline von Heyl’s artist studio near downtown Marfa, Texas, the distinct and diverse contemporary compositional voices bridge the centuries, expanding and redefining the range and repertoire of the solo cello.

  • Renowned As a Musical Pioneer, Cellist Matt Haimovitz Is Praised By
    Matt Haimovitz (Cello / Israel) BIOGRAPHY Renowned as a musical pioneer, cellist Matt Haimovitz is praised by The New York Times as a “ferociously talented cellist who brings his megawatt sound and uncommon expressive gifts to a vast variety of styles” and by The New Yorker as “remarkable virtuoso” who “never turns in a predictable performance.” He has inspired classical music lovers and countless new listeners by bringing his artistry to concert halls and clubs, outdoor festivals and intimate coffee houses – any place where passionate music can be heard. He brings a fresh ear to familiar repertoire, champions new music, and initiates groundbreaking collaborations, as well as creating innovative recording projects. Besides his relentless touring schedule, he mentors an award-winning studio of young cellists at McGill University’s Schulich School of Music in Montreal. Haimovitz made his debut in 1984, at the age of 13, as soloist with Zubin Mehta and the Israel Philharmonic. At 17 he made his first recording with James Levine and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, for Deutsche Grammophon. He has gone on to perform on the world’s most esteemed stages, with such orchestras and conductors as the Berlin Philharmonic with James Levine, the New York Philharmonic with Zubin Mehta, the English Chamber Orchestra with Daniel Barenboim, the Boston Symphony Orchestra with Leonard Slatkin, and the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal with Kent Nagano. Haimovitz made his Carnegie Hall debut when he substituted for his teacher, the legendary Leonard Rose, in Schubert’s String Quintet in C, alongside Isaac Stern, Shlomo Mintz, Pinchas Zukerman and Mstislav Rostropovich.

  • The 2018 Guide Festivals
    April 2018 The 2018 Guide Festivals FEATURE ARTICLE 10 Questions, Two (Very Different) Festivals Editor’s Note Our fifth annual Guide to Summer Festivals is our biggest yet, with some 85 annotated entries, plus our usual free access to the 1400 listings in the Musical America database. The details for the 85—dates, locations, artistic directors, programming, guest artists, etc.—have been provided by the festivals themselves, in response to a questionnaire sent to our list of Editor’s Picks. Those are determined by a number of factors: it’s hardly a surprise to see the big-budget events, such as Salzburg, Tanglewood, and Aspen, included. But budget is by no means the sole criterion. The 2018 Guide Programming, performers, range and type of events offered—all of these factor into the equation. For our feature article, we chose two highly regarded events and asked them one set of questions, just for the purposes of compare and contrast. Since George Loomis traveled to Ravenna last summer and knows Ojai well, we decided he was the perfect candidate to get the answers.
