His playing is immaculate.” (Organists’ Review, England) “Possessed of a dazzling technique and a thorough musical understanding.” (AAM Journal) “Demonstrated musical intelligence far beyond his years and technical abilities to match...brilliantly executed.” (The Birmingham News, AL) “Wowed listeners with his virtuosic playing...brought down the house!” (The American Organist, 2005 convention review) “Stunningly executed...intensely moving...truly breathtaking... captivated the audience completely... not only plays well, he has the ability to speak to the audience clearly, interestingly, and wittily, without either gush or condescension. He won his audience from the start.” (Organ Pleno, journal of the Society of Organists, Melbourne, Australia) “Blazing technique. Unbelievable virtuosity. Astonishing talent. The recital by Clive Driskill-Smith, the young English virtuoso (there’s no getting around the use of that word here), invites a string of superlatives such as one does not often use.” (Peter Beardsley, Chiff Chat newsletter of Springfield MA Chapter American Guild of Organists) and is great fun to be around.

  • Here Has Been a Steady Production of Operas Since the Season 1918/19
    ESTONIAN NATIONAL OPERA Article provided by the Estonian National Opera At a glance The roots of the Estonian National Opera go back to 1865, when the song and drama society “Estonia” was founded. In 1906, the society became the basis for a professional theatre. The ballet troupe began regular work in 1926, but the first full-length ballet, Delibes’s “Coppélia” was performed in 1922 already. Since 1998, the theatre is officially named the Estonian National Opera. Estonian National Ballet that operates under Estonian National Opera was founded in 2010. The Artistic Director and Chief Conductor is Vello Pähn, the Artistic Director of the Estonian National Ballet is Thomas Edur and the General Manager is Aivar Mäe. The theatre’s repertoire includes classical and contemporary operas, ballets, operettas and musicals. In addition, different concerts and children’s performances are delivered and compositions of Estonian origin staged. Estonian National Opera is a repertory theatre, giving 350 performances and concerts a year, being famous for its tradition of annual concert performances of rarely staged operas, such as Alfredo Catalani’s “La Wally”, Verdi’s “Simon Boccanegra”, Rossini’s “Guillaume Tell”, Bizet’s “Les pêcheurs de perles”, Bellini’s “I Capuleti e i Montecchi”, “I puritani” and “Norma”, Rimsky-Korsakov’s “The Tsar’s Bride” and “Snegurochka”, Strauss’ “Der Rosenkavalier”, etc. History of the Estonian National Opera In 1865, the song and drama society “Estonia” was founded in Tallinn. Acting was taken up in 1871. From 1895 onwards the society began to stage plays regularly, which usually included singing and dancing. In 1906, the society became the basis for a professional theatre called “Estonia Theatre” founded by the directors and actors Paul Pinna and Theodor Altermann.

  • Urve Lippus (Estonian Academy of Music, Tallinn): Grieg As a Model of Nordic National Composer for Estonian Musicians in the First Half of the 20Th Century
    Urve Lippus (Estonian Academy of Music, Tallinn): Grieg as a model of Nordic national composer for Estonian musicians in the first half of the 20th century. In the years of the first Estonian Republic (1918-1940) national art, national music and the essence of national style were most widely discussed. However, the interest of Estonian writers, artists and musicians towards Norway goes back into the beginning of the century. As the farthest of the Nordic countries it was also considered somewhat exotic, even mystical with its untouched nature and rich folklore. The rise of Estonian national identity is part of a wider process -- the 19th century national movements in Europe. The first powerful burst of national feelings culminated with the first Estonian song festival in 1869. For centuries educated Estonians had melted into the German-speaking society. All through the 19th century the number of Estonians moving into the cities, achieving better economic positions, studying at high schools and even at the Tartu University, was constantly growing. A self-conscious Estonian community started to form, opposing itself to the Baltic-German community. By little, Estonian institutions of public musical life were established, starting with choruses, amateur orchestras, musical societies. Developing national ideology demanded also genuine Estonian music. At first that meant songs and settings of Estonian folk melodies, but around the turn of the century, the first professional musicians dreamed already about Estonian symphonies and operas. But what should be specifically Estonian in those high genres of European music? Our national ideology has always presented specifically Estonian qualities as something Nordic.
