Drawing on materials preserved in the BSO Archives, including photographs, correspon- dence, and manuscript scores, the exhibit traces the BSO's commissioning activity back to the years directly preceding the BSO's fiftieth anniversary, when then BSO Music Director Serge Koussevitzky urged the Board of Trustees to commission new works in celebration of that anniversary. Shown here are Serge Koussevitzky, who was music director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra from 1924 to 1949, and the manuscript first page of Igor Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms, a BSO fiftieth-anniversary commission which became one of the most significant works in the orchestral repertory.

    RUSSIAN, SOVIET & POST-SOVIET SYMPHONIES 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.

  • Youtube's Classical Music Star Valentine Lisitsa Comes To
    PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE USE YouTube’s classical music star Valentine Lisitsa comes to Edinburgh’s Usher Hall Sunday Classics: Russian Philharmonic of Novosibirsk 3:00pm, Sunday 12 May 2019 Thomas Sanderling - Conductor Valentina Lisitsa - Piano Rimsky-Korsakov - Capriccio espagnol Rachmaninov - Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini Mussorgsky - Pictures at an Exhibition Images available to download here Powerhouse all-Russian programme including Rachmaninov’s tender take on Paganini YouTube sensation Valentina Lisitsa is nothing less than a modern marvel. A brilliant pianist of the Russian old school who plays with fiery intensity and profound insight, she is also a musical evangelist who has taken classical music to millions through her online videos. Having posted her first video on YouTube in 2007, viewing figures soon exploded and more videos followed. The foundations of a social media-driven career unparalleled in the history of classical music were laid. Her YouTube channel now boasts more than 516,000 subscribers and over 200 million views. No wonder she’s in demand right across the world: her unprecedented global stardom is matched by her breath-taking playing. Lisitsa has long adored the romance and power of Rachmaninov and following her electrifying performance of his Third Piano Concerto at the Usher Hall in 2018, she makes a welcome return with the passionate Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. Niccolò Paganini’s famous piece has been adored and interpreted by many a composer, including Brahms, but it’s Rachmaninov’s take on the classic that sees it as its tenderest, and wittiest. He moulds the main theme into musical styles and interpretations previously unheard, and there is no finer pianist to bring this to the Usher Hall than Valentina Lisitsa.

  • Biographic Sketch and Work Catalogue
    Biographic Sketch and Work Catalogue Jörg Widmann was born on 19 June 1973 in Munich, the son of a physicist and a teacher and textile artist. His younger sister is the violinist and violin professor Carolin Widmann. He began clarinet lessons at age 7, completing his education with Gerd Starke at the Munich Music Academy and with Charles Neidich at the Juilliard School in New York. His studies in composition began with Kay Westermann when he was 11 years old; they were continued in 1994-1996 with Wilfried Hiller and Hans Werner Henze and concluded in 1997-1999 with Heiner Goebbels and Wolfgang Rihm. Since the fall of 2001, Widmann has been teaching as professor of clarinet at the Musikhochschule Freiburg; eight years later the same institution additionally named him professor of composition. As a clarinetist, Widmann champions chamber music. He concertizes regularly with partners like the oboist Heinz Holliger, the violists Tabea Zimmermann and Kim Kashkashian, the pianists András Schiff and Hélène Grimaud, and the soprano Christine Schäfer. Moreover, he is celebrated at home and abroad as a soloist in clarinet concertos, and several contem- porary composers have dedicated works for or with clarinet to him. Thus he premiered Wolfgang Rihm’s Music for Clarinet and Orchestra in 1999, Aribert Reimann’s Cantus in 2006, Heinz Holliger’s Rechant in 2009, and Peter Ruzicka’s Three Pieces for Clarinet Solo in 2012. In the course of the years 1993 to 2013, i.e., the two decades between his twentieth and his fortieth birthdays, Widmann has written more than eighty compositions.

  • Internationaler Richard Wagner Kongress 2021 Willkommen in München Welcome to Munich Bienvenu À Munich 14.10.2021
    Internationaler Richard Wagner Kongress 2021 Willkommen in München Welcome to Munich Bienvenu à Munich 14.10.2021 - 17.10.2021 Richard Wagner Verband International e.V. Richard Wagner Verband München e.V. Unsere Sponsoren Stadt München Münchner Verkehrsgesellschaft Blomhert-Watjen Fonds Amsterdam (Niederlande) Dres. Gerda & Stefan Frauendorfer Hannes F. Hofer Dr. Viktoria Moench Rainer & Burghilde Neumann Gisela Roer Dres. Angela & Hermann Sommer Zahlreiche Mitglieder des Richard Wagner Verband München e.V. Grußwort S.K.H. Herzog Franz von Bayern Der Richard Wagner Verband München kann im Jahr 2021 auf sein 150jähriges Bestehen zurückblicken. Als Schirmherr des Internationalen Richard Wagner Kongresses im Oktober 2021 möchte ich dem Verein zu seinem runden Jubiläum herzlich gratulieren. Über die Verbindung zwischen Richard Wagner und König Ludwig II. von Bayern ist bereits viel veröffentlicht worden. Zwischen beiden Persönlichkeiten bestand eine enge persönliche, aber auch von einer gemeinsamen schöpferischen Leidenschaft für die Kunst geprägte Be- ziehung. Richard Wagner war 1864 auf Einladung Ludwigs II. nach München gekommen. Nur sieben Jahre später wurde der Deutsche Allgemeine Richard-Wagner-Verein von Emil Heckei im pfälzischen Mannheim gegründet. Dieser Verein, der ein Vorläufer des heutigen Verbandes ist, hatte sich für die Verwirklichung des Bayreuther Festspielhauses eingesetzt, ebenso wie das Ludwig II. als Mäzen Richard Wagners tat. Ludwig II. ordnete in München Uraufführungen und Privataufführungen von Werken des Komponisten an. Dazu gehören die Uraufführung von „Tristan und lsolde“ im Jahr 1865 und der „Meistersinger von Nürnberg“ drei Jahre später. In diesem Sinne ist München eine Wagner-Stadt und so findet der Internationale Richard Wagner Kongress im Jahr 2021 hier statt.
