Prokofiev was renowned for his uncompromisingly direct behaviour. On one occasion he berated a famous singer saying – within the hearing of her many admirers – that she understood nothing of his music. Seeing her eyes brim, he mercilessly sharpened his tongue and humiliated her still further: ‘All of you women take refuge in tears instead of listening to what one has to say and learning how to correct your faults.’ One of Prokofiev’s long-suffering friends in France, fellow Russian émigré Nicolas Nabokov, sought to explain the composer’s boorishness by saying ‘Prokofiev, by nature, cannot tell a lie. He cannot even say the most conventional lie, such as “This is a charming piece”, when he believes the piece has no charm. […] On the contrary he would say exactly what he thought of it and discuss at great length its faults and its qualities and give valuable suggestions as to how to improve the piece.’ Nabokov said that for anyone with the resilience to withstand Prokofiev’s gruff manner and biting sarcasm he was an invaluable friend. -

II wojna światowa zmusiła młodego, wówczas dwudziestoośmioletniego Hartmanna do podjęcia trudnej życiowej decyzji – stojąc bowiem u progu obiecującej kariery artystycznej, odmówił wszelkiej współpracy z nazistami, godząc się tym samym na zniknięcie z oficjalnego życia muzycznego III Rzeszy. Pozostał jednak w kraju, świadomie wybierając drogę „wewnętrznej emigracji”. Postawa ta była bardzo rzadkim zjawiskiem wśród artystów. Ci, którzy wyrażali sprzeciw wobec okrutnej polityki nazizmu, zazwyczaj podejmowali decyzję o opuszczeniu kraju, by móc swobodnie tworzyć. Pozostanie w samym centrum szalejącego hitleryzmu, z widmem artystycznego wyroku śmierci, musiało być podyk- towane niezwykłą siłą charakteru i sumienia. Nie był to jednak bierny akt rezygnacji. W zaciszu domu swoich teściów w Kempfenhausen pod Monachium, otoczony posiad- łościami nazistów, w tajem nicy przed sąsiadami, Hartmann komponował muzykę kipiącą od emocji, będącą zwierciadłem stanu jego duszy i świadectwem jego człowieczeństwa. -

But following this anniversary there is some sad news, with the recent passing of our President, Jeanie, Countess of Carnarvon. Her energy, commitment and enthusiasm from the outset and throughout the evolution of the Festival have been fundamental to its success. The Duchess of Kent and I have seen the Festival grow from humble beginnings to an internationally renowned arts festival, having faced and overcome many obstacles along the way. Jeanie, Countess of Carnarvon, can be justly proud of the Festival’s achievements. Her legacy must surely be a Festival that continues to flourish as we embark on the next forty years. www.newburyspringfestival.org.uk 1 2019-NSF book.qxp_NSF programme book 23/04/2019 12:31 Page 2 Jeanie, Countess of Carnarvon MBE Founder and President 1935 - 2019 2 box office 0845 5218 218 2019-NSF book.qxp_NSF programme book 23/04/2019 12:31 Page 3 The Festival’s founder and president, Jeanie Countess of Carnarvon was a great and much loved lady who we will always remember for her inspirational support of Newbury Spring Festival and her gentle and gracious presence at so many events over the years. Her son Lord Carnarvon pays tribute to her with the following words. My darling mother’s lifelong interest in the arts and music started in her childhood in the USA.
