The debut LP of Italianate concerti grossi had a monochrome photograph of a church porch on the cover and the modest title “A Recital”. Humble beginnings indeed, but in 1962 “The Gramophone” devoted a full page to an enthusiastic review, concluding that it was played “with more sense of style than all the chamber orchestras in Europe put together”. Even so, it was more than a year before the sequel, “A Second Recital”, appeared. Two more such concert programmes ensued [all four are on CDs 1-2] but by then the Academy had been taken up by another label with a shift in policy more attuned to record collectors than to concert goers.

Fifth Concert of the 109th Season Twenty-fifth Annual Chamber Arts Series Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750): Concerto in D minor for Two Violins This concerto is very likely the best known of all Baroque concertos for two instruments. Stravinsky once called it "the most perfect Baroque concerto in existence." Written while Bach was Kapellmeister at the small but musically active court in Kothen, from 1717 to 1723, it follows the pattern of the Italian concerto with its two fast movements and an aria-like slow movement in the middle.

Great singers have the ability to communicate deep layers of meaning in a text, teasing out ever more nuanced understandings of the com- poser’s intentions. But Lorraine Hunt Lieberson took this a step further. She made it seem as if she wrote the poetry herself. And Lorraine made it seem as if she were singing this music directly to you and to you alone in the theater. Lorraine addressed the importance of this direct communication in her appreciation of other singers as well. “I like to listen to singers,” she said, “where I feel the direct openness of the heart in the voice.”1 Lorraine acted through the sound and the music, often standing quietly and intensely, while weaving emotional tapestries with the text and delivering vocal lines of glory.

  • The Cambridge Companion To: the ORCHESTRA
    The Cambridge Companion to the Orchestra This guide to the orchestra and orchestral life is unique in the breadth of its coverage. It combines orchestral history and orchestral repertory with a practical bias offering critical thought about the past, present and future of the orchestra as a sociological and as an artistic phenomenon. This approach reflects many of the current global discussions about the orchestra’s continued role in a changing society. Other topics discussed include the art of orchestration, score-reading, conductors and conducting, international orchestras, and recording, as well as consideration of what it means to be an orchestral musician, an educator, or an informed listener. Written by experts in the field, the book will be of academic and practical interest to a wide-ranging readership of music historians and professional or amateur musicians as well as an invaluable resource for all those contemplating a career in the performing arts. Colin Lawson is a Pro Vice-Chancellor of Thames Valley University, having previously been Professor of Music at Goldsmiths College, University of London.
