From it, Julian plays Jamel Aliyev’s own arrangement of a lively passage from Borodin’s opera Prince Igor. He also introduces an organist and conductor who in 2016 became the youngest person to hold the position of Director of Music at an Oxbridge College. At the age of 21, Anna Lapwood took charge at Pembroke College, Cambridge and Julian features a performance from the College Choir she founded, with Anna directing from the organ. Finally, one of Britain’s biggest rising stars performs the music of Elgar, as Sheku Kanneh-Mason plays his world-famous Cello Concerto alongside the London Symphony Orchestra. 5 MONDAY 15TH MARCH 8pm to 10pm: THE CLASSIC FM CONCERT with JOHN SUCHET: A CLASSIC FM EXCLUSIVE – THE OXFORD PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA To begin the week, John presents the first radio broadcast of a concert given by the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by founder Marios Papadopoulos, which was recorded, socially distanced, at London’s Hellenic Centre in October 2020.

  • Marco Polo – the Label of Discovery
    Marco Polo – The Label of Discovery Doubt was expressed by his contemporaries as to the truth of Marco Polo’s account of his years at the court of the Mongol Emperor of China. For some he was known as a man of a million lies, and one recent scholar has plausibly suggested that the account of his travels was a fiction inspired by a family dispute. There is, though, no doubt about the musical treasures daily uncovered by the Marco Polo record label. To paraphrase Marco Polo himself: All people who wish to know the varied music of men and the peculiarities of the various regions of the world, buy these recordings and listen with open ears. The original concept of the Marco Polo label was to bring to listeners unknown compositions by well-known composers. There was, at the same time, an ambition to bring the East to the West. Since then there have been many changes in public taste and in the availability of recorded music. Composers once little known are now easily available in recordings. Marco Polo, in consequence, has set out on further adventures of discovery and exploration. One early field of exploration lay in the work of later Romantic composers, whose turn has now come again. In addition to pioneering recordings of the operas of Franz Schreker, Der ferne Klang (The Distant Sound), Die Gezeichneten (The Marked Ones) and Die Flammen (The Flames), were three operas by Wagner’s son, Siegfried. Der Bärenhäuter (The Man in the Bear’s Skin), Banadietrich and Schwarzschwanenreich (The Kingdom of the Black Swan) explore a mysterious medieval world of German legend in a musical language more akin to that of his teacher Humperdinck than to that of his father.

  • Comments for Cds on Klassic Haus Website - January Releases Series 2013
    Comments for CDs on Klassic Haus website - January Releases Series 2013 KHCD-2013-001 (STEREO) - Havergal Brian: Symphony No. 2 in E minor (1930-31) - BBC Symphony Orchestra/Sir Charles Mackerras - It is by now almost common knowledge among the cognoscenti of classical music that Havergal Brian (1876-1972) wrote 32 symphonies, starting with the enormous and still-controversial Gothic, and suffered decades of neglect. He was born in the same decade as composers like Ravel, Scriabin and Ralph Vaughan Williams, but his style belongs to no discernable school. Of course, he had his influences (Berlioz, Wagner, Elgar and Strauss spring to mind), but he digested them thoroughly and never really sounds like anyone else. Between 1900 and 1914, Brian briefly came to notice with a series of choral works and colourful symphonic poems. Then World War I broke out, and everything changed, not least his luck as a composer. But, although many decades of neglect lay in store for him, Brian found himself, too. By the end of World War II, therefore, he had written five symphonies, a Violin Concerto, an opera, The Tigers, and a big oratorio, Prometheus Unbound (the full score of which is still lost), all of them works of power and originality, and all of them unplayed for many years to come. Havergal Brian was already in his seventies. His life’s work was done, so it seemed. The opposite was the case. Symphony No. 2 in E minor was written in 1930-31. In it Brian tackles the purely instrumental symphony for the first time, after the choral colossus which is the Gothic.
