El doctor Sawkins denunció a Hyperion en mayo de 2004 por el uso de su edi- ción en el disco Music for the Sun King, considerando insuficiente que Hype- rion hubiera pagado el alquiler de los materiales impresos. Sawkins ganó en esa instancia, la firma británica recurrió la sentencia y hace unos días se hacía público el veredicto definitivo. Empecemos por las consecuencias de la sentencia. Hyperion calcula en casi un millón de libras esterlinas —millón y medio de euros— lo que deberá pagar en concepto de costas —mucho mayor que lo que habrá de correspon- derle al doctor Sawkins— y anuncia ya que afrontar semejante obligación pondrá en peligro la existencia de la compañía —curiosamente una de las que más ha hecho por la recuperación, la renovación y la difusión del repertorio a que pertenece la obra objeto de la disputa— y, en consecuencia, la actividad discográfica de muchos de los intérpretes que acoge. Parece claro, pues, que el objetivo de Sawkins —obtener derechos de autor por las 3300 copias vendi- OPINIÓN das del disco de De Lalande— ha sido superado con creces, y si el veredicto significa un triunfo para los abogados del musicólogo bien puede ser un golpe mortal para quien parece recibir un castigo desmesurado. El caso Sawkins-Hyperion pone de manifiesto la necesidad de un entendi- miento entre las partes implicadas en los procesos necesarios pero también complementarios de investigación y difusión de las músicas pretéritas. Se trata, desde luego, de valorar lo que pueda haber de original en una edición crítica pero también de calibrar hasta qué punto un trabajo de ese tipo aporta algo tan sustancial como para hacer de ello un obstáculo a la hora de divulgar una obra que, antes de ser editada críticamente, estaba sin mayores problemas en el dominio público.

  • Jean-Guihen Queyras Violoncello
    JEAN-GUIHEN QUEYRAS VIOLONCELLO Biography Curiosity, diversity and a firm focus on the music itself characterize the artistic work of Jean- Guihen Queyras. Whether on stage or on record, one experiences an artist dedicated completely and passionately to the music, whose humble and quite unpretentious treatment of the score reflects its clear, undistorted essence. The inner motivations of composer, performer and audience must all be in tune with one another in order to bring about an outstanding concert experience: Jean-Guihen Queyras learnt this interpretative approach from Pierre Boulez, with whom he established a long artistic partnership. This philosophy, alongside a flawless technique and a clear, engaging tone, also shapes Jean-Guihen Queyras’ approach to every performance and his absolute commitment to the music itself. His approaches to early music – as in his collaborations with the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra and the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin – and to contemporary music are equally thorough. He has given world premieres of works by, among others, Ivan Fedele, Gilbert Amy, Bruno Mantovani, Michael Jarrell, Johannes-Maria Staud, Thomas Larcher and Tristan Murail. Conducted by the composer, he recorded Peter Eötvös’ Cello Concerto to mark his 70th birthday in November 2014. Jean-Guihen Queyras was a founding member of the Arcanto Quartet and forms a celebrated trio with Isabelle Faust and Alexander Melnikov; the latter is, alongside Alexandre Tharaud, a regular accompanist. He has also collaborated with zarb specialists Bijan and Keyvan Chemirani on a Mediterranean programme. The versatility in his music-making has led to many concert halls, festivals and orchestras inviting Jean-Guihen to be Artist in Residence, including the Concertgebouw Amsterdam and the Festival d’Aix-en-Provence, Vredenburg Utrecht, De Bijloke Ghent and the Orchestre Philharmonique de Strasbourg.

Stravinsky, Tempo, and Le sacre Erica Heisler Buxbaum Performing the works of Igor Stravinsky precisely as he intended would appear to be an uncomplicated matter: Stravinsky notated his scores in great detail, conducted recorded performances of many of his works, and wrote commentaries that contain a great deal of specific performance information. Stravinsky's recordings and published statements, however, raise as many questions as they answer about the determination of tempo and the documentary value of recordings. Like Wagner, Stravinsky believed that the establishment of the proper tempo for a work was crucial and declared that "a piece of mine can survive almost anything but wrong or uncertain tempo." Stravinsky notated his tempi precisely with both Italian words and metronome markings and asserted on many occasions that the primary value of his recordings was that they demonstrated the proper tempi for his works.

It was produced on May 15, 1913, at the TIt/3d.tre des Champs Elysees, Paris, by the Ballets Russes of Sergei Diaghilev. The choreography was by Nijinsky, who also danced the role of the Young Man. f elix is Debussy's most "modern" composition, the most advanced in method and style , the most prophetic of such future d ~ vcJopm e nt s as the pointillism of Webern and the search for new sonorities by electronic means. The characteristic whole-tone scale of Debussy is here employed toward almost atonal ends. The gigantic orchestral apparatus is used with the utmost eco nomy as well as imagina­ tive subtlety. It is interesting to lea rn that the conductor of the present performances, Pierre Boulez, studied f eliX with special care when he was a student of Oliver Messiaen. For the sake of historical correctness, one must give the "argument" that was published at the time of the premiere, the synopsis of the action as conceived by Nijinsky and transformed into sound by Debussy.

  • A Listening Guide for the Indispensable Composers by Anthony Tommasini
    A Listening Guide for The Indispensable Composers by Anthony Tommasini 1 The Indispensable Composers: A Personal Guide Anthony Tommasini A listening guide INTRODUCTION: The Greatness Complex Bach, Mass in B Minor I: Kyrie I begin the book with my recollection of being about thirteen and putting on a recording of Bach’s Mass in B Minor for the first time. I remember being immediately struck by the austere intensity of the opening choral singing of the word “Kyrie.” But I also remember feeling surprised by a melodic/harmonic shift in the opening moments that didn’t do what I thought it would. I guess I was already a musician wanting to know more, to know why the music was the way it was. Here’s the grave, stirring performance of the Kyrie from the 1952 recording I listened to, with Herbert von Karajan conducting the Vienna Philharmonic. Though, as I grew to realize, it’s a very old-school approach to Bach. Herbert von Karajan, conductor; Vienna Philharmonic (12:17) Today I much prefer more vibrant and transparent accounts, like this great performance from Philippe Herreweghe’s 1996 recording with the chorus and orchestra of the Collegium Vocale, which is almost three minutes shorter. Philippe Herreweghe, conductor; Collegium Vocale Gent (9:29) Grieg, “Shepherd Boy” Arthur Rubinstein, piano Album: “Rubinstein Plays Grieg” (3:26) As a child I loved “Rubinstein Plays Grieg,” an album featuring the great pianist Arthur Rubinstein playing piano works by Grieg, including several selections from the composer’s volumes of short, imaginative “Lyrical Pieces.” My favorite was “The Shepherd Boy,” a wistful piece with an intense middle section.

  • Pierre Boulez Rituel
    PROGRAM NOTES by Phillip Huscher Pierre Boulez Born March 26, 1925, Montbrison, France. Currently resides in Paris, France. Rituel (In memoriam Bruno Maderna) Boulez composed this work in 1974 and 1975, and conducted the first performance on April 2, 1975, in London. The score calls for three flutes and two alto flutes, three oboes and english horn, three clarinets, E- flat clarinet and bass clarinet, alto saxophone, four bassoons, six horns, four trumpets, four trombones, six violins, two violas, two cellos, and a percussion battery consisting of tablas, japanese bells, woodblocks, japanese woodblock, maracas, tambourine, sizzle cymbal, turkish cymbal, chinese cymbal, cow bells, snare drums (with and without snares), guiros, bongo, claves, maracas-tubes, triangles, hand drums, castanets, temple blocks, tom-toms, log drum, conga, gongs, and tam-tams. Performance time is approximately twenty- five minutes. Bruno Maderna died on November 13, 1973. For many years he had been a close friend of Pierre Boulez (and a true friend of all those involved in new music activities) and a treasured colleague; like Boulez, he had made his mark both as a composer and as a conductor. “In fact, to get any real idea of what he was like as a person,” Boulez wrote at the time of his death, “the conductor and the composer must be taken together; for Maderna was a practical person, equally close to music whether he was performing or composing.” In 1974 Boulez began Rituel as a memorial piece in honor of Maderna. (In the catalog of his works, Rituel follows . explosante-fixe . ., composed in 1971 as a homage to Stravinsky.) The score was completed and performed in 1975.

  • Cso at the Movies 2014/15 Series Concludes with Silent Film Classic, Metropolis
    For Immediate Release: Press Contacts: May 8, 2015 Eileen Chambers, 312-294-3092 Rachelle Roe, 312-294-3090 Photos Available By Request [email protected] CSO AT THE MOVIES 2014/15 SERIES CONCLUDES WITH SILENT FILM CLASSIC, METROPOLIS May 29 at 8 p.m. CHICAGO—The Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s 2014/15 CSO at the Movies series concludes with a screening of Fritz Lang’s silent film Metropolis on Friday, May 29 at 8 p.m. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO), led by conductor Cristian Măcelaru, will accompany Giorgio Moroder’s abridged version of the film with a live performance of a score compiled by John Goberman and that includes music by Schoenberg, Grieg and Bartók. Fritz Lang’s genre-defining science fiction film debuted in 1927 and has since been restored and rereleased all over the world. The film is set in a futuristic city whose citizens, divided into two classes, find that their conflicts are mediated by an unexpected source. Film critic Roger Ebert described Metropolis as doing “what many great films do, creating a time, place and characters so striking that they become part of our arsenal of images for imagining the world… and the result is one of those films without which many others cannot be fully appreciated.” Because of its production as a silent film, the score for Metropolis is reinvented with each screening of the film. The CSO will use the score compiled by TV and film producer John Goberman, the creator of the Emmy Award-winning show Live from Lincoln Center. Goberman’s compiled score for Metropolis includes sections of Schoenberg’s Transfigured Night and two of the composer’s chamber symphonies, Bartok’s String Quartet No.

Summoned into existence by Daniel Barenboim, the Academy began its teaching programme in the autumn of 2016. Located at the cultural heart of Berlin, the new concert hall has seating for 700 and offers a range of possibilities with its elliptical shape and flexible stage design. The hall’s acoustics are the responsibility of the Japanese acoustician Yasuhisa Toyota, who is well known for his expertise in this field. Both Frank Gehry and Yasuhisa Toyota have generously donated their services to the Barenboim–Said Academy and renounced any fee for their work. The opening concert’s programme is a reflection of Pierre Boulez’s inexhaustible musical inquisitiveness.
