Shostakovich (1906-1975) RUSSIAN, SOVIET & POST-SOVIET CONCERTOS A Discography of CDs and LPs Prepared by Michael Herman Dmitri Shostakovich (1906-1975) Born in St. Petersburg. He entered the Petrograd Conservatory at age 13 and studied piano with Leonid Nikolayev and composition with Maximilian Steinberg. His graduation piece, the Symphony No. 1, gave him immediate fame and from there he went on to become the greatest composer during the Soviet Era of Russian history despite serious problems with the political and cultural authorities. He also concertized as a pianist and taught at the Moscow Conservatory. He was a prolific composer whose compositions covered almost all genres from operas, ballets and film scores to works for solo instruments and voice.

  • Fabulously Tidal — Issue 117, 1 January 2018
    Fabulously Tidal — Issue 117, 1 January 2018 SPONSORED FEATURE — PHILIP SAWYERS' THIRD SYMPHONY Alice McVeigh: 'This is a fabulously tidal symphony, with wild expanses of differing moods, but it begins with a ripple of unease. We in the cello section were told to play the opening with as much stillness as possible, allowing the first theme to grow as it weaves into violins and violas, into threads of flute and oboe, and — from there — into a tempestuous section of interweaving themes. The argument descends into a woodwind quarrel, resolved by flute and oboe, decorated by horns — while the strings continue to niggle and churn away at any sense of calm. 'Then solo bassoon ignites a new, still tenser, section. The violins take over, lightly but resolutely, answered by middle strings conveying a sense of tenderness — but with a bitter aftertaste. (This is incidentally one of Sawyers' most characteristic strengths: a tenderness, never saccharine, often undermined by subtle discontent.) From the brass comes the first glimpse of escape: the powerful broken octave theme over which the other themes furiously contend. 'The cellos at the recapitulation, now deepened and enriched, are twisted by Sawyers into something passionate and grounded in lower brass, reinforced by timpani. The movement ends with the heavy brass seemingly triumphant over the strings' stubborn reiteration of the theme. Still, the lower strings' pessimism prevails. 'Tutti violins kick-start the second movement with a dramatic leap from their richest register, only yielding to keening solo oboe. 'The sobered strings leave the solo winds to mourn, yet, with characteristic Sawyers intensity, something is brewing at subterranean depths: eventually, the violas' chuntering is answered by full insistent brass, in a stormily ecstatic tantrum.

  • Alexander Briger: What Makes a Conductor Is Personality
    Alexander Briger: What Makes a Conductor is Personality The Australian conductor tells us about growing up in a musical clan, founding the Australian World Orchestra, and reducing the work load to better enjoy performances and time with his young family. by Jo Litson, 16 May 2019 The Australian conductor tells us about growing up in a musical clan, founding the Australian World Orchestra, and reducing the work load to better enjoy performances and time with his young family. Was there lots of music around you when you were growing up? Yeah, a lot. My mother was a ballet dancer. My uncle Alastair [Mackerras] who lived downstairs was the Headmaster of Sydney Grammar, and he would drive me to school. He was a classical music fanatic. He owned thousands and thousands of CDs, from A to Z, and he was so methodical about it. So, I learnt a hell of a lot of music. Alexander Briger. Photo © Cameron Grayson What instrument did you play? I played violin but I didn’t really take it all that seriously, I have to say. I was much more into aeroplanes, that sort of thing. My uncle was Charles Mackerras, although I didn’t really know him well, he didn’t live here. He would come home to conduct the Sydney Symphony or the opera occasionally. I remember when I was 12, I was taken to a concert that he gave, Mahler’s Fourth Symphony with the Sydney Symphony, and that was the first concert that I was allowed to go to. I remember just being completely blown away by it and that’s when I started to take music very seriously and to think about conducting.

  • Intervju: Anna Vinnitskaya
    Intervju: Anna Vinnitskaya Jag vill lämna publiken med upplevelser som efter en bra film, med nya erfarenheter och upplevelser, snarare än att imponera med virtuositet Konsertpianisten Anna Vinnitskaya tog emot CAPRICCIO på Konzerthaus i Berlin i våras i samband medhennes framförande av Dmitrij Sjostakovitjs första pianokonsert. Vinnitskaya övar när jag anländer, och jag väntar avsiktligt med att knacka på dörren till repetitionsrummet för att inte avbryta mitt i en fras i Rachmaninovs tredje pianokonsert. Samma dag som vårt samtal ägde rum släpptes även hennes senaste skiva med Bachkonserter för piano, inspelad medEvgeni Koroliov, Ljupka Hadzi Georgievaoch Kammerakademie Potsdam (Alpha). Anna Vinnitskaya föddes 1983 i Novorossiysk vid Svarta havet. Båda hennes föräldrar var pianister och hon tog tidigt pianolektioner, från sex års ålder. Hon har gett konserter internationellt sedan hon var sju år gammal. När Vinnitskaya var liten fann hon glädje i musikutövandet; som tonåring blev pianospelandet dock alltmer en form av yrkesidentitet nästan i en slags sportslig riktning för den vänsterhänta pianisten. Hon gav sin första stora konsert – Sjostakovitjs andra pianokonsert – när hon var tolv år gammal. Vinnitskaya har vunnit ett antal tävlingar, första gången när hon var tretton, bland annat Queen Elizabeth Competition i Bryssel 2007 då hon vann första pris – hon var den andra kvinnliga pianisten någonsin att vinna tävlingen – och Leonard Bernstein Award 2008. Hon har även bland annat gett en Junge Wilde- konsert i Dortmund, och gav ut sitt debutalbum 2009. Vinnitskaya är ”Artist in Residence” vid Dresdner Philharmoniker innevarande säsong som kommer att avslutas med just Rachmaninovs tredje pianokonsert i juni 2020. Anna Vinnitskaya © Marco Borggreve Upplevde du att du egentligen någonsin hade något val? Valde du pianot? – För att vara ärlig, nej, valet var inte mitt.

  • The Musical Partnership of Sergei Prokofiev And
    THE MUSICAL PARTNERSHIP OF SERGEI PROKOFIEV AND MSTISLAV ROSTROPOVICH A CREATIVE PROJECT SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT FOR THE DEGREE MASTER OF MUSIC IN PERFORMANCE BY JIHYE KIM DR. PETER OPIE - ADVISOR BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA DECEMBER 2011 Among twentieth-century composers, Sergei Prokofiev is widely considered to be one of the most popular and important figures. He wrote in a variety of genres, including opera, ballet, symphonies, concertos, solo piano, and chamber music. In his cello works, of which three are the most important, his partnership with the great Russian cellist Mstislav Rostropovich was crucial. To understand their partnership, it is necessary to know their background information, including biographies, and to understand the political environment in which they lived. Sergei Prokofiev was born in Sontovka, (Ukraine) on April 23, 1891, and grew up in comfortable conditions. His father organized his general education in the natural sciences, and his mother gave him his early education in the arts. When he was four years old, his mother provided his first piano lessons and he began composition study as well. He studied theory, composition, instrumentation, and piano with Reinhold Glière, who was also a composer and pianist. Glière asked Prokofiev to compose short pieces made into the structure of a series.1 According to Glière’s suggestion, Prokofiev wrote a lot of short piano pieces, including five series each of 12 pieces (1902-1906). He also composed a symphony in G major for Glière. When he was twelve years old, he met Glazunov, who was a professor at the St.

The oboe is a notoriously tricky instrument with several parameters that make it hard to master, none more so than the temperamental double reed at the top. These are hand- made by the oboist from a weed similar to bamboo (Arundo Donax for those playing at home). There are but a handful of oboists in the world who are invited to perform as soloists outside of their country, and Diana is one of them. One of my first trips to see the Sydney Symphony Orchestra as a teenager was to witness Diana perform the Richard Strauss Oboe Concerto. I marvelled at her gloriously resonant oboe sound, especially as she was 37 weeks pregnant! Nearly a decade later I watched Diana premiere Ross Edwards' Oboe Concerto, dressed (as instructed by the composer) as a wild bird, whilst undertaking dance choreography. I can’t think of any other oboist in the world who can pull off these jaw-dropping feats. Today, Diana performs the most famous work from the oboe repertoire - Mozart's Oboe Concerto in C. Diana is one of those oboists who makes the instrument sound like a human voice, and I have no doubt that you will enjoy her breathtaking rendition of this charming yet virtuosic concerto.
