  • The Old Bailey and the Recorder of London: a Brief History
    From our Patron, Simon Callow Last year I received the exceptional honour of the Freedom of the City of London. Since boyhood I have been haunted by the City, its history, its imagery, its traditions. One of the most vital of those traditions is the City's association with music. Since at least 1350, The Worshipful Company of Musicians has proudly celebrated the noble art. I vividly remember a City of London Festival when I was a youth, in which The Yeoman of the Guards was performed with full son et lumière effects at the Tower of London, and Sir William Walton was specially commissioned to write a splendid piece for the City – A Song for the Lord Mayor's Table. Since then the Barbican Concert Hall has opened, and the London Symphony Orchestra has become resident orchestra. Music is everywhere in the City, as it should be. So when last year's Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress, Roger and Clare Gifford, asked me become a Patron of their new charity, the City Music Foundation, I said yes straight away - not only because of the ancient association of the City with music, but because it looks so keenly to the future. Its raison d'être is to help young musicians at that critical difficult early point in their careers, right at the beginning, after their training, when they attempt to launch themselves into the world. The Foundation nurtures, encourages, and supports them at a vulnerable moment in their lives. I know very well what that feels like - young actors face exactly the same problems; sometimes really gifted, exceptional artists fall by the wayside.

  • A2 GIOVANNI SAMMARTINI Early String Symphonies
    A2 GIOVANNI SAMMARTINI Early String Symphonies (complete) • Danielle Ferrari, cond; Riccardo Villani (hpd); I Giovanni di Nuova Cameristica • NUOVA ERA 231996 (3 CDs: 175:01) At first I was a bit taken aback to read on the cover jacket of this lavishly produced set, “World Première Recording.” Could that possibly be? I would have thought that some enterprising period-instruments ensemble must have gotten around to recording the works of this very important Italian Baroque composer and crucial figure in the early development of the symphony. And indeed I was right, but only sort of. Roberto Gini and the Milan Chamber Orchestra have put out most of these works on the Dynamic label as part of a project to record Sammartini’s complete symphonic output. But Dynamic’s recordings are fairly recent, postdating the current Nuova Era set, originally recorded in 1994, by more than 10 years. So at the time they were made, in all likelihood Ferrari’s would have been world premiere recordings. Also, neither Gini’s MCO nor Ferrari’s I Giovanni di Nuova Cameristica is a period-instruments ensemble. So what we have in both cases are Italian chamber orchestras and performances similar to those one hears by groups such as I Musici, the English Chamber Orchestra, and the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields. Not that there is anything wrong in that, but it needs saying so as not to mislead anyone into thinking these are authentic HIP productions. One of the embarrassments of riches in having a very large CD collection is the tendency to forget what you already have.
