BACH 2000 will be launched at the Salzburg Festival on 28 July 1999 and be available from the very beginning of celebrations to mark the 250th anniversary of the composer's death in 1750. The title BACH 2000 is a protected trademark. The artists taking part in BACH 2000 include: Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Gustav Leonhardt, Concentus musicus Wien, Ton Koopman, Il Giardino Armonico, Andreas Staier, Michele Barchi, Luca Pianca, Werner Ehrhardt, Bob van Asperen, Arnold Schoenberg Chor, Rundfunkchor Berlin, Tragicomedia, Thomas Zehetmair, Glen Wilson, Christoph Prégardien, Klaus Mertens, Barbara Bonney, Thomas Hampson, Herbert Tachezi, Frans Brüggen and many others ... BACH 2000 - A Summary Teldec's BACH 2000 Edition, 153 CDs in 12 volumes comprising Bach's complete works performed by world renowned Bach interpreters on period instruments, constitutes one of the most ambitious projects in recording history. BACH 2000 represents the culmination of a process that began four decades ago in 1958 with the creation of the DAS ALTE WERK label. After initially triggering an impassioned controversy, Nikolaus Harnoncourt's belief that "Early music is a foreign language which must be learned by musicians and listeners alike" has found widespread acceptance. He and his colleagues searched for original instruments to throw new light on composers and their works and significantly influenced the history of music interpretation in the second half of this century.

  • Nikolaus Harnoncourt, 86 Austrian Conductor Known for His Attention to Historical Detail
    The Washington Post March 8, 2016 Nikolaus Harnoncourt, 86 Austrian conductor known for his attention to historical detail Maestro Nikolaus Harnoncourt conducts the traditionel New Year's Concert of the Vienna Philharmonics in Vienna in 2003. (Leonhard Foeger/Reuters) by Bradley Klapper Nikolaus Harnoncourt, an Austrian conductor whose internationally renowned career first focused on a search for authenticity in baroque and other old music and later expanded into masterful interpretations across the classical spectrum, died March 5 in St. Georgen, Austria. He was 86. His wife, Alice Harnoncourt, confirmed the death but did not specify the cause. He died less than three months after taking his last bow on the concert stage. Born into a lineage that included some of Europe’s most aristocratic families, Mr. Harnoncourt was also part of Austria’s musical nobility, with mastery that put him on the level of other great postwar Austrian conductors Herbert von Karajan, Karl Boehm and Carlos Kleiber. His concern for historical detail was legendary. He often distributed his own material to orchestras, adding expression marks on how to create more authentic or refined interpretations, aiming to erase what he called “traditionally traded” mistakes. Adding period instruments as well as tempi and dynamics discarded by modern performances, Mr. Harnoncourt broke through in the 1970s from relative obscurity with a series of celebrated performances, particularly of Monteverdi and Mozart. He thought of his conducting as alive and romantic, not a relic of history. “I have always hated the word ‘authenticity’ because it is so dangerous,” Mr. Harnoncourt said. “ ‘Museum music’ does not interest me.

  • Baroque Improvisation in the Early Music Revival
    (RE)CREATING THE PAST: BAROQUE IMPROVISATION IN THE EARLY MUSIC REVIVAL By: Kailan R. Rubinoff Kailan R. Rubinoff . ―(Re)creating the Past: Baroque Improvisation in the Early Music Revival.‖ New Sound no. 32 (Spring 2009). Special issue on improvisation, ed. Marcel Cobussen and Mira Veselinovic- Hofman. Invited contribution. Made available courtesy of Savez Organizacija Kompozitora Jugoslavije (SOKOJ), Music Information Centre: http://www.newsound.org.rs/index.php ***Reprinted with permission. No further reproduction is authorized without written permission from the Savez Organizacija Kompozitora Jugoslavije (SOKOJ), Music Information Centre. This version of the document is not the version of record. Figures and/or pictures may be missing from this format of the document.*** Abstract: This article explores the contentious position of improvisation in the contemporary Baroque music revival. Paradoxically, historical performers aim to obey the composer‘s intentions by paying careful attention to the written instructions of the musical score yet they also seek to recreate the performative conventions—and freedoms—of an earlier era. The performance practice literature, the recording industry, and the conservatory education of historical performers reinforce a text-centered approach to music that is antithetical to spontaneous creativity. While in-depth understanding of Baroque performing conventions and repertoire is important, greater rapprochement with living improvisatory traditions might result in more liberatory performances of early music. Key words: Early music, historical performance, Baroque music, 17th century, 18th century, improvisation Article: Improvisation and the related practices of ornamentation and embellishment have long fascinated musicians involved in the early music revival. Those who specialize in envisioning and recreating the music of the past, especially music composed prior to 1800, have subjected the issue of extemporization to much scholarly inquiry.1 Yet the subject remains controversial, and a number of open questions remain.

  • Smithsonian Music Curator James Merle Weaver Died on 16 April in Rochester, New York, from Complications of COVID-19
    Smithsonian music curator James Merle Weaver died on 16 April in Rochester, New York, from complications of COVID-19. He was 82. Weaver began his lifelong engagement with music as a piano, and later, organ, student in his hometown of Danville, Illinois. He attended the University of Illinois in nearby Champaign/Urbana. His weekend activities during that period, which he would later relate with mischievous pleasure, started on Saturday morning with giving piano and organ demonstrations and private lessons at the local music store. Saturday evenings began with several hours of cocktail piano at a lounge, followed by background dinner music and another stint in the bar, then a late night shift providing “accompaniment” at one or another of the local burlesque establishments. After finishing in the wee hours, he would meet a fellow organist for a diner breakfast before heading off to the first of his several Sunday church services. In this way, he earned all he needed for the week, and cemented the musical eclecticism that would characterize the rest of his long and productive life. While on a high school field trip to Washington, DC, Weaver saw his first harpsichords: unrestored, non-playing instruments displayed—for lack of a better venue—at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History. Sometime during his sophomore year at the U of I, he and his slightly older school colleague Alan Curtis decided that they should go to Amsterdam to study harpsichord and the just-developing field of historical performance practice with Dutch organist and harpsichordist Gustav Leonhardt. The three men became fast friends—Leonhardt was only about a decade older—and spent many days driving (at Leonhardt’s preferred breakneck speeds) around Holland, and farther afield, visiting historic organs, art museums, and antique dealers, developing the young Americans’ (who were only the second and third of what would eventually become several scores of American Leonhardt students) taste in antique instruments and the fine and decorative arts of the baroque.
