Elsewhere, there are performances from two of the 20th century’s greatest soloists; Julian Bream plays Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez, and Daniel Barenboim plays Mozart’s Piano Concerto No.21.

So, the buzz around the Golden Globe Awards and 93rd Academy Awards has Andrew rolling out the red carpet. He picks his favourite award-worthy soundtracks and ones to watch including Mank by duo Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, The Trial of the Chicago 7 by Daniel Pemberton, Nomadland featuring music by Ludovico Einaudi, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom by Branford Marsalis and The Midnight Sky by Alexandre Desplat. 3 SATURDAY 20TH MARCH 9pm to 10pm: DAVID MELLOR’S MELODIES To mark St Patrick’s Day which fell earlier this week, David features some of his favourite Irish melodies. There’s a moving rendition of ‘Danny Boy’ and Malcolm Arnold’s Irish Dances, plus a medley of traditional Irish tunes performed by the Boston Pops Orchestra and Arthur Fiedler. 4 SUNDAY 21ST MARCH 4pm to 7pm: JOHN HUMPHRYS Spring may be officially underway, but John takes a stormy trip on one of music’s most famous rivers, as he features a stand-out recording of Smetana’s Vltava, from the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra under Nikolaus Harnoncourt. There’s another piece chosen by a listener, as John discovers a work that first set someone on their classical music journey. 7pm to 9pm: SMOOTH CLASSICS AT SEVEN with CHARLOTTE HAWKINS Charlotte picks violinist Ray Chen as her Young Classical Star. The Taiwanese-born musician began learning violin at the age of four and by the age of eight he was invited to play solo with the Queensland Philharmonic Orchestra and performed at the opening celebration concert of the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan. Since then, Ray Chen has recorded a number of studio albums on the Sony Classical label including the Tchaikovsky, Mendelssohn and Mozart Violin Concertos. 9pm to 10pm: JULIAN LLOYD WEBBER’S RISING STARS (4 / 5) Julian Lloyd Webber continues his series on Classic FM, shining a spotlight on the finest young musicians; those musical talents that make up his “30 under 30.” Julian introduces an award-winning classical guitarist who, at the age of 28, is already on his third, critically acclaimed album. From his most recent release, Julian plays Sean Shibe’s performance of Bach’s Lute Suite No.1. He also features a young violinist who made his professional concerto debut at the age of seven. Now aged 20, Johan Dalene has been making waves on stages around the world. We hear his stunning recording of Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto. Julian has an exclusive performance from the cellist Pablo Ferrandez, a musician described by Anne-Sophie Mutter as “truly special”. Julian selects Pablo’s recording of Rachmaninov’s Vocalise, ahead of the release of his new album later this week. 5 MONDAY 22ND MARCH 8pm to 10pm: THE CLASSIC FM CONCERT with JOHN SUCHET: NORTHERN LIGHTS John presents an evening of all-Nordic music, from the famous to the perhaps lesser known. To begin, Sibelius’ unmistakable Karelia Suite, which after its premiere the composer complained it had been too popular, as “you couldn’t hear a single note of the music – everyone was on their feet cheering and clapping”. There’s music by Denmark’s most successful musical export, Nielsen, and a piano concerto by Stenhammar, a Swedish composer who took guidance from both Sibelius and Nielsen. Iceland is represented too, via the tranquil music of Ólafur Arnalds. Jean Sibelius Karelia Suite Opus 11 Andrew Davis conducts the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra Hugo Alfven Swedish Rhapsody No.1 Opus 19 (‘Midsummer Vigil’) Neeme Järvi conducts the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra Ólafur Arnalds Happiness Does Not Wait Angele Dubeau directs La Pieta from the violin Edvard Grieg Holberg Suite Opus 40 Seiji Ozawa conducts the Mito Chamber Orchestra Wilhelm Stenhammar Piano Concerto No.1 in B-flat minor Opus 1 Piano: Niklas Sivelov Mario Vengazo conducts the Malmo Symphony Orchestra Carl Nielsen Bohemian-Danish Folk Tune Gennadi Rozhdestvensky conducts the Danish National Radio Symphony Orchestra 6 TUESDAY 23RD MARCH 8pm to 10pm: THE CLASSIC FM CONCERT with JOHN SUCHET: A BARBER, A BIRTHDAY AND A BOHEMIAN The centrepiece of the programme this evening is Mendelssohn’s Piano Concerto No.2, which the composer wrote while on his honeymoon, out of a desire to impress and capture English audiences. John selects a sparkling performance by young pianist Jan LIsiecki, who celebrates his 26th birthday today. Elsewhere, John Eliot Gardiner conducts the Orchestre Revolutionnaire et Romantique in Schubert’s Symphony No.5, captured live in performance at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw in 2016, there’s a new recording of Kreisler’s Liebesleid, and a lesser- heard serenade written on Dvořák’s recommendation. Gioachino Rossini The Barber of Seville – Overture Rinaldo Alessandrini conducts the Concerto Italian Franz Schubert Symphony No.5 in B-flat major D.485 John Eliot Gardiner conducts the Orchestre Revolutionnaire et Romantique Felix Mendelssohn Piano Concerto No.2 in G minor Opus 25 Jan Lisiecki directs the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra Josef Suk Serenade for Strings Opus 6 Jiri Belohlavek conducts the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra Fritz Kreisler Liebesleid Violin: Charlie SIem Piano: Itamar Golan Francois Devienne Flute Concerto No.13 in D major Opus Post.

  • Broadcasting the Arts: Opera on TV
    Broadcasting the Arts: Opera on TV With onstage guests directors Brian Large and Jonathan Miller & former BBC Head of Music & Arts Humphrey Burton on Wednesday 30 April BFI Southbank’s annual Broadcasting the Arts strand will this year examine Opera on TV; featuring the talents of Maria Callas and Lesley Garrett, and titles such as Don Carlo at Covent Garden (BBC, 1985) and The Mikado (Thames/ENO, 1987), this season will show how television helped to democratise this art form, bringing Opera into homes across the UK and in the process increasing the public’s understanding and appreciation. In the past, television has covered opera in essentially four ways: the live and recorded outside broadcast of a pre-existing operatic production; the adaptation of well-known classical opera for remounting in the TV studio or on location; the very rare commission of operas specifically for television; and the immense contribution from a host of arts documentaries about the world of opera production and the operatic stars that are the motor of the industry. Examples of these different approaches which will be screened in the season range from the David Hockney-designed The Magic Flute (Southern TV/Glyndebourne, 1978) and Luchino Visconti’s stage direction of Don Carlo at Covent Garden (BBC, 1985) to Peter Brook’s critically acclaimed filmed version of The Tragedy of Carmen (Alby Films/CH4, 1983), Jonathan Miller’s The Mikado (Thames/ENO, 1987), starring Lesley Garret and Eric Idle, and ENO’s TV studio remounting of Handel’s Julius Caesar with Dame Janet Baker. Documentaries will round out the experience with a focus on the legendary Maria Callas, featuring rare archive material, and an episode of Monitor with John Schlesinger’s look at an Italian Opera Company (BBC, 1958).

  • Navigating, Coping & Cashing In
    The RECORDING Navigating, Coping & Cashing In Maze November 2013 Introduction Trying to get a handle on where the recording business is headed is a little like trying to nail Jell-O to the wall. No matter what side of the business you may be on— producing, selling, distributing, even buying recordings— there is no longer a “standard operating procedure.” Hence the title of this Special Report, designed as a guide to the abundance of recording and distribution options that seem to be cropping up almost daily thanks to technology’s relentless march forward. And as each new delivery CONTENTS option takes hold—CD, download, streaming, app, flash drive, you name it—it exponentionally accelerates the next. 2 Introduction At the other end of the spectrum sits the artist, overwhelmed with choices: 4 The Distribution Maze: anybody can (and does) make a recording these days, but if an artist is not signed Bring a Compass: Part I with a record label, or doesn’t have the resources to make a vanity recording, is there still a way? As Phil Sommerich points out in his excellent overview of “The 8 The Distribution Maze: Distribution Maze,” Part I and Part II, yes, there is a way, or rather, ways. But which Bring a Compass: Part II one is the right one? Sommerich lets us in on a few of the major players, explains 11 Five Minutes, Five Questions how they each work, and the advantages and disadvantages of each. with Three Top Label Execs In “The Musical America Recording Surveys,” we confirmed that our readers are both consumers and makers of recordings.

  • Musicweb International August 2020 RETROSPECTIVE SUMMER 2020
    RETROSPECTIVE SUMMER 2020 By Brian Wilson The decision to axe the ‘Second Thoughts and Short Reviews’ feature left me with a vast array of part- written reviews, left unfinished after a colleague had got their thoughts online first, with not enough hours in the day to recast a full review in each case. This is an attempt to catch up. Even if in almost every case I find myself largely in agreement with the original review, a brief reminder of something you may have missed, with a slightly different slant, may be useful – and, occasionally, I may be raising a dissenting voice.

Its first per­ formance was November 24, 1839, in Paris, the composer conducting. "There should be no doubt about the character of this work," wrote the composer in a preface to the score. "Although voices are frequently employed, this is not a concert-opera, a cantata, but a symphony with chorus. If song occurs in the beginning, it is for the purpose of preparing the mind of the hearer for the dramatic scenes in which sentiments and passions are to be expressed by the orchestra." The movement opens with an Allegretto (pianissimo) for the strings, to which horns and flutes are added.
