Wigmore Hall Summer Brochure 2015 !"# APRIL – JULY 2015 Welcome Keith Saunders John Butt and the Dunedin Consort shed fresh light on Bach’s St John Passion in their revelatory recording, hailed by Gramophone for its ‘naturalness and emotional honesty’. They bring their vision of the work to Wigmore Hall for a special Holy Week performance, projecting the vivid drama of Christ’s betrayal and suffering, and the profound humanity of Bach’s response to it. Andreas Scholl has inspired countless new listeners to fall in love with lesser-known works. His artistry reveals the timeless qualities of great music from the distant past, restoring the rhetorical power and emotional impact of pieces conceived for star performers of eighteenth-century Europe. Scholl’s latest Wigmore Hall programme explores the vitality of Italian cantatas by three masters of the genre and frames their work with the seductive songs of Venetian gondoliers. Formed 70 years ago, soon after the Second World War, the Borodin Quartet has become synonymous with the works of Shostakovich and Beethoven. The ensemble’s latest Wigmore Hall series offers a complete cycle of the two composers’ string quartets, works deeply inscribed in the group’s collective DNA. Our season-long Paul Lewis: A Celebration continues when the much-loved English pianist partners Allan Clayton in a work of timeless musical beauty and artistic truth. Schubert’s Die schöne Müllerin, which was first performed at Wigmore Hall in 1903, explores a young man’s love, despair, contemplation of death and ultimate recognition of impermanence. Benjamin Ealovega Body and soul are united in Martin Fröst’s intensely focused approach Philippe Herreweghe and his Collegium Vocale Gent became pioneers of to making music.

  • 25. Mai 2015 Programm Grusswort Der Gastgeber
    22. - 25. MAI 2015 PROGRAMM GRUSSWORT DER GASTGEBER Wir möchten Sie hier auf der Brunegg herzlich willkommen heissen. Esther Hoppe und Jürg Dähler haben mit ihren Kolleginnen und Kollegen ein Programm zusammengestellt, das schon bei der ersten Ankündigung begeisterte Kommentare ausgelöst hat. Wir freuen uns mit Ihnen auf ein hervorragendes musikalisches Erlebnis. Bis anhin hatten wir die Räumlichkeiten stets nur für private Anlässe benützt. Dass nun die Öffentlichkeit Zutritt hat, ist vollkommen neu, und wir wollen damit eine neue Tradition beginnen. Da wir hier unser privates Wohnen eingerichtet haben, bitten wir Sie um Verständnis, wenn Sie keinen Zutritt in unsere Wohnräume erhalten. Diese stehen übrigens zum Teil den Künstlern zur Verfügung. Brunegg war seit dem Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts im Besitz der Familie Hünerwadel von Lenzburg und gelangte durch die Heirat von Marie Pauline mit Adolf von Salis, dem Vater von Jean Rudolf von Salis, in unsere Familie. Es wurde im Sommer sehr lebhaft zu geselligem Zusammensein genutzt; es wurde gewohnt, gespielt, geschrieben und diskutiert. Wir selber haben seit den 1990er Jahren Renovations- und Umbauarbeiten machen lassen; die Unterburg erhielt zwei moderne Wohnungen und den Festraum in der Tenne. Das Schloss oben und die Gartenanlagen wurden tiefgreifenden Restaurierungen und Erneuerungen unterzogen; die gesamte Anlage wurde von einem halb ruinenhaften in den heutigen, bequem bewohn- und bespielbaren Zustand umgewandelt. Wir hoffen, dass Sie das mit uns geniessen können und wünschen Ihnen ein gelungenes Pfingstfestival! Thomas und Elisabeth von Salis Gastgeber EDITORIAL DER KÜNSTLERISCHEN LEITUNG Die Historie des Schlosses Brunegg in seinem heute rundum erneuerten Gewand verführt und verpflichtet zu gleichen Teilen, an diesem geschichtsträchtigen Ort ein Festival zu gestalten, welches Tradition und Innovation in sinnlicher Art und Weise verbindet.

  • Grieg's Influence on Hanka Schjelderup Petzold
    The International Edvard Grieg Society Grieg Conference in Copenhagen 2011 Grieg’s influence on Hanka Schjelderup Petzold Hikari Kobayashi Introduction Hanka Schjelderup Petzold (1862–1937) was the sister of Gerhard Schjelderup, a Norwegian composer and music critic. She arrived in Japan in 1909 to teach the piano and singing at the Tokyo Music School and lived there until her death1. Nurturing prominent Japanese musicians, she performed at concerts and received good reviews. Although she played an important role in the sphere of music in Japan, her achievements have not been researched extensively. The Schjelderup family and Edvard Grieg shared a deep bond. Over a hundred letters were exchanged between Gerhard Schjelderup and Grieg. In addition, Gerhard wrote a biography of Grieg2. Leis Schjelderup, Gerhard’s and Hanka’s sister, painted a portrait of Grieg, and there was a time when Grieg was captivated by her charms. Moreover, Hanka had personal correspondence with Grieg: her two letters to Grieg are preserved at the Bergen Public Library3. Therefore, she may have sensed a strong familiarity with Grieg’s music. Purpose of the presentation This presentation aims to investigate the influence of Grieg on Hanka Schjelderup Petzold and to examine how her music activities influenced the reception of Grieg’s music in Japan. I will focus on her performances of Grieg’s music after she arrived in Japan in 1909. 1 In 1949, the Tokyo Music School became the Faculty of Music at the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music. 2 Gerhard Schjelderup, Edvard Grieg og hans værker [Edvard Grieg and his works], Copenhagen: Gyldendal, 1903.
