However, this programme has another particular theme: how poets and composers reflect upon the natural world as a metaphor for our own emotional experience.

Benefitting from the jet aeroplane and the record industry’s ability to reach out to the world, they dominated chamber music making for nearly 40 years. But concert tours are only successful if reviews are ecstatic and audiences delighted: they both were. The Quartet (who styled themselves ‘The Wolf-Gang’) roved the world, argued, celebrated and worked like no other group, and changed not a single member: Norbert Brainin, Siegmund Nissel, Peter Schidlof and Martin Lovett had a recording career from 1951 to 1987, ending only with the death of Peter Schidlof in 1987. These 70 CDs – presenting almost their entire discography, together with distinguished and extensive presentation – form one of the most extensive chamber music sets ever created, and stand as eloquent testimony to their thoughtful musicianship, technical calibre and to the immense esteem in which the world held them. The Paul Badura-Skoda Edition £68.95 DG 479 8065 (20CD) available at £62.95 until 27/10 To celebrate his 90th birthday, Paul Badura-Skoda has curated this selection from his Westminster recordings. In the 20 discs included here are concertos, solo and chamber works where we witness the artistic integrity of an artist who is as celebrated for his technical abilities as he is for his scholarly interpretations. Newly remastered from the original tapes, we are afforded a fresh evolution of these rare gems.

Rossini’ Conservatoire in Pesaro and DAMS (Disciplina Arte Musica e Spettacolo) University in Bologna. She graduated in Piano and Music History. Master degree at Scuola di Alto Perfezionamento pianistico di Imola. The winner of numerous piano competitions in Italy and abroad, she worked with the RAI Symphony Orchestra in Rome as a pianist and became involved in several RAI opera productions. Her career as pianist of singers like Mariella Devia or Sonia Ganassi or Juan Diego Florez has taken her for recitals to major venues such as La Scala in Milan, Santa Cecilia in Rome, Teatro Real in Madrid and the Japan Opera Foundation in Tokyo and others. Early on she took up a parallel career as director, debuting with Gardel’s IL PASSO DELL’ANIMA at Teatro Bellini in Catania and a successful production of LA SCALA DI SETA by Rossini in Teatro La Maestranza of Siviglia. Known both as inventive producer and as piano player, Rosetta Cucchi has established herself as one of the most innovative Italian opera directors of his generation. Reviewing her staging in 2004 of a unknown Opera by Walter Braunfels PRINZESSIN BRAMBILLA in Wexford Opera Festival Ireland, George Hall from Opera News has written “…The most successful of the three Wexford stagings this year was the work of Rosetta Cucchi, best known hitherto as a pianist and coach but beginning to make her way as a director.

In contrast to scholars who situate popular genres outside of political thinking, or conversely read the “messages” of popular and especially children’s literatures homogeneously as ideology, I argue that BD adventures, including Westerns, engaged openly and variously with contemporary geopolitical conflicts. Chapter 1 relates the early popularity of wilderness and desert stories in both the United States and France to shared histories and myths of territorial expansion, colonization, and settlement.

  • George Frideric Handel Lived from 1723-1759
    BIOGRAPHY THE BROOK STREET BAND takes its name from the London street where composer George Frideric Handel lived from 1723-1759. The Band was formed in 1996 by baroque cellist Tatty Theo and rapidly CONWAY established itself as one of the UK’s leading Handel specialists, winning grants, awards and broadcasting opportunities from various organisations including BBC Radio 3 and the Handel Institute. Eighteenth HALL century chamber repertoire has always been the Band’s driving passion, focussing particularly on SUNDAY Handel’s music. However, in recent years the Band’s activities have also expanded to include regular collaborations with conductors, choirs and venues on larger-scale Handel vocal works. It is currently CONCERTS involved in several long-term projects with the London venue St. John’s Smith Square, exploring Handel’s chamber repertoire and performing Handel’s oratorios. The Brook Street Band regularly broadcasts for BBC Radio 3 and its extensive discography for AVIE has Patrons - Stephen Hough, Prunella Scales CBE, Roderick Swanston, been singled out to critical acclaim; the Band’s debut CD “Handel Oxford Water Music” was selected as Gramophone Magazine Editor’s Choice, as was its “JS Bach Trio Sonatas”.
