    TOCCATA André CLASSICS TCHAIKOWSKY Volume One: Music for Piano Piano Concerto, Op. 4 Inventions, Op. 2 Sonata for Piano Maciej Grzybowski, piano P Vienna Symphony Orchestra Paul Daniel, conductor Jakob Fichert, piano Nico de Villiers, piano INCLUDES FIRST RECORDINGS ANDRÉ TCHAIKOWSKY: A LIFE WITH THE PIANO by Anastasia Belina-Johnson André Tchaikowsky was born on 1 November 1935, in Warsaw, and named Robert Andrzej Krauthammer. His parents separated, after a short marriage, before he was born, and he was brought up by his mother Felicja and grandmother Celina. As a child, the young Krauthammer was energetic and talkative; he absorbed languages and ideas at lightning speed, and enjoyed the attention of adults. By the age of three-and-a-half, he could read in Polish, German and Russian, and at the age of four his mother began to teach him piano. He was fascinated by the idea that one could read music in the same way as one reads written words, and his mother showed him the relationship between printed notes and piano keys. His grandmother immediately began to plan for his future, announcing that he would become the best and most famous pianist in the world. Just over a month before his fourth birthday, at the end of September 1939, the invading Germans occupied Warsaw. The Jews living there were ordered to relocate into a single neighbourhood in the centre, which was sealed by a wall in November 1940. When Celina’s apartment was enclosed into the ghetto area, she defiantly moved out, claiming to be a Christian, while Felicja decided to remain with her son.

    Americas, and from further aield: basically, if it’s good music and it hasn’t yet been recorded, JOHN KINSELLA, IRISH SYMPHONIST by Séamas da Barra John Kinsella was born in Dublin on 8 April 1932. His early studies at the Dublin College of Music were devoted to the viola as well as to harmony and counterpoint, but he is essentially self-taught as a composer. He started writing music as a teenager and although he initially adopted a straightforward, even conventional, tonal idiom, he began to take a serious interest in the compositional techniques of the European avant-garde from the early 1960s. He embraced serialism in particular as a liberating influence on his creative imagination, and he produced a substantial body of work during this period that quickly established him in Ireland as one of the most interesting younger figures of the day. In 1968 Kinsella was appointed Senior Assistant in the music department of Raidió Teilefís Éireann (RTÉ), the Irish national broadcasting authority, a position that allowed him to become widely acquainted with the latest developments in contemporary music, particularly through the International Rostrum of Composers organised under the auspices of UNESCO. But much of what he heard at these events began to strike him as dispiritingly similar in content, and he was increasingly persuaded that for many of his contemporaries conformity with current trends had become more P important than a desire to create out of inner conviction. As he found himself growing disillusioned with the avant-garde, his attitude to his own work began to change and he came to question the artistic validity of much of what he had written.

Welcome From the Minister It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the West Australian Symphony Frankie Lo Surdo, French Horn Orchestra’s opening concert for 2018. On this occasion I would like to acknowledge WASO’s significant contribution to WA’s cultural vibrancy for 90 years. WASO is undoubtedly one of our state’s cultural gems – it’s the largest and busiest performing arts organisation in WA, and has a reputation for excellence, engagement and innovation. WASO is one of Australia’s finest orchestras, and renowned internationally for their dynamic performances under Principal Conductor Asher Fisch. The Orchestra is also highly regarded for having the broadest and deepest community engagement program of any orchestra in the country.

  • MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL Recordings of the Year 2017
    MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL Recordings Of The Year 2017 This is the fourteenth year that Musicweb International has asked its reviewing team to nominate their recordings of the year. Reviewers are not restricted to discs they had reviewed, but the choices must have been reviewed on MWI in the last 12 months (December 2016-November 2017). The 136 selections have come from 27 members of the team and 68 different labels, the choices reflecting as usual, the great diversity of music and sources. Of the selections, seven have received two nominations: Iván Fischer’s Mahler 3 on Channel Classics Late works by Elliott Carter on Ondine Tommie Haglund’s Cello concerto on BIS Beatrice Rana’s Goldberg Variations on Warner Unreleased recordings by Wanda Luzzato on Rhine Classics Krystian Zimerman’s late Schubert sonatas on Deutsche Grammophon Vaughan Williams London Symphony on Hyperion Two labels – Deutsche Grammophon and Hyperion – gained the most nominations, nine apiece, considerably more than any other label. MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL RECORDING OF THE YEAR In this twelve month period, we published more than 2700 reviews. There is no easy or entirely satisfactory way of choosing one above all others as our Recording of the Year. In some years, there have been significant anniversaries of composers or performers to help guide the selection, but not so in 2017. Johann Sebastian BACH Goldberg Variations - Beatrice Rana (piano) rec. 2016 WARNER CLASSICS 9029588018 In the end, it was the unanimity of the two reviewers who nominated Beatrice Rana’s Goldberg Variations – “easily my individual Record of the Year” and “how is it possible that she can be only 23” – that won the day.

    ADDING MY LITTLE BIT: WHY I COMPOSE by Jerome de Bromhead Composing nowadays is an almost quixotic pursuit, and the tangible rewards are indeed few. When I am asked why I do it, I usually reply: ‘Because I can, and therefore I must’. Te rewards are no less real because they are rare. Te satisfaction I get by hearing my work performed with understanding and feeling is intense and enduring. Te art of music is, to me, a serious pursuit – as serious as love or death. I was born in Waterford in the south-east of Ireland in 1945, the youngest of seven in a family that was comfortably of. My father, who was born in Yorkshire, had an ancestor who saddled the family with this surname. In the seventeenth century a Mr Bromhead of Yorkshire married a Miss de Gonville, who came from France (she may have been Huguenot). Tey ‘double-barrelled’ at frst as ‘de Gonville Bromhead’ but later shortened it by dropping ‘Gonville’, which was then used as a frst name in some branches of the family.1 My other ancestors were Irish with a sprinkling of French. My immediate family’s main interest was in things equestrian, and some of my relatives distinguished themselves in that sphere. Where horses were concerned, I was neither interested nor particularly useful – although I do remember the unique exhilaration of riding a thoroughbred at full gallop. My mother was the only member of the household who could not sing in tune. Tat didn’t deter her even slightly, and so at an early age I was introduced to manifestations of aleatoric atonality.

  • FORGOTTEN ARTISTS an Occasional Series by Christopher Howell 24
    FORGOTTEN ARTISTS An occasional series by Christopher Howell 24. TIBOR PAUL (1909-1973) Index of all articles in this series One Hungarian leads to another. Did not George Mikes, author of the hilarious “How to be an Alien”, develop the theory that “everybody is a Hungarian”? In the wake of my article on Carl Melles, a reader who has enriched the Forgotten Artists series with useful advice and recordings asked if I remembered anything about another Hungarian émigré, Tibor Paul. To tell the truth, my only memory came from the late 1960s, when newsagents’ racks were swamped with LPs selling at ten shillings or little more. I remember noting – but not buying – a Fontana LP in which a selection of Brahms Hungarian Dances and Dvořák Slavonic Dances were played by the Vienna Symphony Orchestra conducted, respectively, by Tibor Paul and Karel Ančerl. Since so many of those dirt cheap LPs had pseudonymous performers, I rather supposed that Tibor Paul was an invented name. It is, after all, the sort of Hungarian-sounding name you would come up with if you needed one in a hurry. About a decade later, after I had moved to Italy, I saw his name in the Radio Corriere conducting one of the RAI orchestras and thought, well, he must be real, then. If I had been based in Australia or Eire, I now see, I would have known better all along. The BBC Genome site suggests that he was a rare guest with UK orchestras. The item I saw in the Radio Corriere was almost certainly Viotti’s 22nd Violin Concerto, in which Paul accompanied Franco Gulli.

  • Download Archive Guinness Choir Phd Scholarship
    Guinness Choir PhD Scholarship in collaboration with TU Dublin Conservatoire The Guinness choir is celebrating its seventieth anniversary and recently has deposited its library and archives in the library of TU Dublin Conservatoire in Grangegorman as part of a collaborative venture between the choir and the Conservatoire’s Research Foundation for Music in Ireland. As part of the celebrations the Guinness Choir is offering a PhD scholarship for a student who will undertake a research project centred on the history of the choir. In addition to the extensive choir library, the archive contains wide ranging administrative records and ephemera. The records have been meticulously kept and are very rich in detail. Fascinating aspects of the archive include correspondence relating to the planning of concerts and other matters, concert programmes, press releases, reviews and detailed financial reports and accounts. It also contains some interesting reflections on concerts. An opportunity to interview and record the memories of some founding members and others with long associations is also possible. Combined, these provide an array of sources to examine the history of the choir. Such a history will place the work of the choir in the wider context of choral music in Ireland. It will also contain some very interesting personal stories and fill in many gaps in our understanding of choral music in Dublin. The scholarship offered will cover 50% of the fulltime fees for PhD (current fees, €4,500 per annum) up to a maximum of four years or part time fees (current fees, €3,000 per annum) up to a maximum of six years Background to The Guinness Choir The Guinness Choir, aka the St James’s Gate Musical Society, (orginally composed of brewery employees and their families) was established in 1951 by Victor Leeson, who conducted the Choir from its foundation until his retirement in 1984.
