Artist Impressions What was Arabella Steinbacher’s funniest experience on stage? How did Mari Kodama’s road to classical music begin? How does Nareh Arghamanyan prepare for her performances? To give you an impression of the three artists presented on this album, we asked them to share with us something about their life in music. “I had quite a funny experience in Vienna’s Musikverein when I performed the Korngold concerto. The stage of the Musikverein is not very big and while I was playing one of the wilder passages in the piece, I accidentally kicked the concertmaster’s music stand over, causing his part to fly all over the place. But we continued to play, despite a good bit of laughing.” Arabella Steinbacher Photography by freshu “My cradle was next to my mother’s piano, where she had students from the morning until the evening, so that playing the piano appeared to me as the most natural occupation one possibly could have. In fact, I thought everybody in the world played piano. My very first experience of a live concert was a recital by Bruno Leonardo Gelber, when he came to play in Osaka. It was amazing to see how a single person could transport his audience to a different world using just one instrument. It made a strong impression on me as a four-year-old and it was a moment that has stayed with me vividly to this day.” Mari Kodama Photography by Vincent Garnier “Every new performance is a new journey for me – a life journey in the composer’s footsteps. I not only have to follow these footsteps, but also must draw my listeners into the world created by the composer.” Nareh Arghamanyan Photography by Julia Wesely Korngold and Bruch - Violin Concertos Sergei Rachmaninov Piano Pieces The Barber of Neville Chausson - Poème for Violin and Nareh Arghamanyan - Piano Andrew Marriner - Clarinet Orchestra PTC 5186 399 Academy of St. Martin in the Fields Arabella Steinbacher - Violin conducted by Sir Neville Marriner PTC 5186 503 PTC 5186 506 “What a joyful 68 minutes it is!

PROGRAM NOTES Suite pour Trio d'Anches- Alexandre Tansman Program Notes by Nora Lewis With four movements arranged in a slow-fast-slow-fast sequence, Alexandre (1954) recalls Baroque conventions and features expansive contrapuntal lines underpinned by unconventional harmonies. This piece shares similar neo-Baroque elements with his Suite Baroque (1958), dedicated to Queen Elizabeth, with whom Tansman had played duets decades earlier. The light and quirky character of the Twentieth-Century French style is quality. In many of his works Tansman draws on Polish folk melodies, Mazurka rhythms, and genres such as Polonaise and Nocturne. Scholars also cite the influence of the Polish scale, with pervasive emphasis on the fourth scale degree in melodic and particularly harmonic contexts.

    Deine Ohren werden Augen machen. 7 . Programmwoche 13 . Februar - 19. Februar 2021 Samstag, 13. Februar 2021 14.00 – 15.00 Uhr HÖRSPIEL 10 Jahre Arabischer Frühling Kairo, 11. Februar Von Sonallah Ibrahim und Samir Nasr Sonallah Ibrahim ist einer der größten Schriftsteller der arabischen Welt und gehörte zu den wichtigsten Stimmen in der Opposition gegen das Mubarak-Regime. Das Hörspiel „Kairo, 11. Februar“ handelt vom 18. Tag der ägyptischen Revolution, dem Tag, an dem Mubarak letztendlich zurücktrat. Es erzählt Sonallah Ibrahims Reise durch ein brodelndes Kairo mit dem Ziel, den Tahrir-Platz zu erreichen. Auf diesem Weg erinnert er sich an fünf Schlüsselszenen aus seinem Leben, die eine Brücke schlagen zu den aktuellen Ereignissen. Sie stehen exemplarisch für die Geschichte Ägyptens und erzählen viel über die Tradition von Unterdrückung und Widerstand. Mit Matthias Habich, Mehdi Moinzadeh, Ilknur Boyraz, Felicitas Madl, Florian Steffens, Elmira Bahrami, Gerd Wameling, Katja Uffelmann Regie: Samir Nasr Produktion: rbb 2013 Sonntag, 14.

Bauschulte Die drei kleinen Zauberer aus dem Land „Vielleicht und Irgendwann“ besitzen drei wunderschöne, mitternachtsblaue Zaubermäntel, mit denen sie sich alles herbeizaubern können, was sie sich wünschen: Am Morgen deckt sich der Frühstückstisch von allein, ein Besen fegt die Krümel vom Boden, und im Kamin beginnt ein Feuer hell zu flackern, sogar die Schnürsenkel verknoten sich von selbst. So verbringen die drei kleinen Zauberer sommers wie winters ihre Tage mit Nichtstun, bis eines Morgens die Zaubermäntel plötzlich verschwunden sind und das Faulenzerleben ein Ende findet.

  • Saison 2013/2014 Grußwort
    Saison 2013/2014 Grußwort Liebe Musikfreunde, liebe Konzertbesucher, unsere Konzertreihe im Von-Busch-Hof gibt es nun schon mehr als zehn Jahre. Wir freuen uns über den hohen Bekannt- heitsgrad der Konzertreihe weit über die engere Region hinaus. In jeder Saison ist es uns gelungen, mit erstklassigen Künstlern beeindruckende Konzerte zu veranstalten. Von Anfang an spielte Kammermusik eine wichtige Rolle: Unsere Besucher konnten immer wieder faszinierend schöne klassische Musik erleben. Mit Schuberts “Forellenquintett” und dem Liederzyklus “Die Winterreise” erklingen in dieser Saison zwei der bekanntesten Werke der klassischen Musik. Aber auch für das Amüsement in der Neujahrsgala beim Hören und Wiedererkennen von beliebten Schlagern und von brillant gespielter Filmmusik des letzten Jahrhunderts schwärmen viele. Das fabelhafte Schellack-Orchester mit seinen Solisten entfes- selt dabei jedesmal Beifallsstürme. Interessante Kinderkonzerte, eines im November, das andere im Februar, fehlen auch in dieser Saison natürlich nicht. Ganz sicher werden Joseph Moog am Klavier und das Busch- Hof Consort im abschließenden Open Air Konzert der Saison mit der Darbietung von drei Klavierkonzerten einen triumpha- len Schlusspunkt setzen. Die gute Akustik im Saal und im Innenhof, dazu das stilvolle und behagliche Ambiente des Von-Busch-Hofs wird von vielen Besuchern gerühmt und ist eine angenehme und erfreuliche Beigabe zu den Konzerten. Künstler, die bei uns auftreten, sind immer wieder angetan von dem charmanten Veranstaltungsort, aber in demselben Maße auch von dem interessierten und aufmerksamen Publikum. Wir sind stolz auf das Erreichte. Unser Bestreben ist, auch in Zukunft unsere Zuhörerschaft mit einem anspruchsvollen Programm zu begeistern. Wir wünschen Ihnen schöne und erquickliche Stunden im Von-Busch-Hof.

  • Cameron Burgess - Clarinet BBM Youth Support Report - June 2013
    Cameron Burgess - Clarinet BBM Youth Support Report - June 2013 My trip to the UK was an incredibly rewarding and exciting experience. In my lessons I gained a wealth of information and ideas on how to perform British clarinet repertoire, and many different approaches and concepts to improve my technique, which I have found invaluable in my development as a musician. I was also able to collect a vast amount of data on Frederick Thurston, who is the focal point of my honours thesis. Much of this information I probably would not have discovered had it not been for my trip to the UK. I was also fortunate enough to attend numerous concerts by the London Symphony Orchestra, Halle Orchestra, London Chamber Orchestra and Southbank Sinfonia, as well as visit London’s many galleries and museums. After arriving in the UK I traveled from Manchester to London for my first lesson, which was with the Principal of the Royal College of Music and renowned Mozart scholar, Professor Colin Lawson. Much of my time in this lesson was devoted to Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto. I had been fortunate enough to attend a master class given by Professor Lawson at the Sydney Conservatorium in 2010 and had gained some ideas on how to interpret the work, however this was expanded on greatly, and my ideas and concepts on how to perform the work completely changed. As well as this we spent some time discussing my thesis topic, how it could potentially be improved and what new ideas I could also include. Professor Lawson also very generously provided me with some incredibly useful literature on Thurston, published for his centenary celebration, which is no longer in print.
