    MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL Recordings Of The Year 2018 This is the fifteenth year that MusicWeb International has asked its reviewing team to nominate their recordings of the year. Reviewers are not restricted to discs they had reviewed, but the choices must have been reviewed on MWI in the last 12 months (December 2017-November 2018). The 130 selections have come from 25 members of the team and 70 different labels, the choices reflecting as usual, the great diversity of music and sources - I say that every year, but still the spread of choices surprises and pleases me. Of the selections, 8 have received two nominations: Mahler and Strauss with Sergiu Celibidache on the Munich Phil choral music by Pavel Chesnokov on Reference Recordings Shostakovich symphonies with Andris Nelsons on DG The Gluepot Connection from the Londinium Choir on Somm The John Adams Edition on the Berlin Phil’s own label Historic recordings of Carlo Zecchi on APR Pärt symphonies on ECM works for two pianos by Stravinsky on Hyperion Chandos was this year’s leading label with 11 nominations, significantly more than any other label. MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL RECORDING OF THE YEAR In this twelve month period, we published more than 2400 reviews. There is no easy or entirely satisfactory way of choosing one above all others as our Recording of the Year, but this year the choice was a little easier than usual.

Ms. Canellakis flew to Berlin and won the audition. “It was my dream orchestra, my dream job,” she says. later, as a member of the academy, she played in a chamber music concert at the Philharmonie, performing first violin in Schoenberg’s Verklärte Nacht . Berlin Philharmonic artistic Director Simon rattle was in the audience, and soon after, having heard from colleagues that Karina had participated in a conducting master class, he surprised her with an unexpected observation. “I’m sure you would be a great first violinist in a string quartet or the concertmaster of an orchestra,” she recalls him saying. “But if you think you might the idea of becoming want to be a conductor, that’s what I think you should do.” a few months later, she conducted a group of colleagues in Berlin, strictly for fun, with Mr. rattle’s encouragement. his vote a conductor was not in of confidence planted a seed. her sights until her Berlin a New york City native, Karina Canellakis had come to Curtis at age 17 to study violin with Ida Kavafian. “as a violinist Karina had her own sound and a personal style, experience—and even then, a singing style that was reminiscent of early 20th-century violinists like Kreisler and Szigeti,” Ms.

  • Philharmonia Zurich
    PHILHARMONIA ZURICH The Zurich Opera Orchestra was created following the division of the venerable Tonhalle and Theatre Orchestra in 1985. In 2012, with the beginning of Andreas Homoki’s directorship and the accession of the new General Music Director Fabio Luisi, the Zurich Opera Orchestra became the Philharmonia Zurich. Each season, the Orchestra can be heard at about 250 opera and ballet performances given by Zurich Opera House. The Philharmonic Concerts are also organised as a podium for the concert repertoire. Soirées and chamber music matinees complete the Orchestra’s artistic spectrum. Before Fabio Luisi took over artistic direction of the Orchestra at the beginning of the 2012/13 season, his predecessors had included Franz Welser-Möst (1995–2008, General Music Director from 2005), and most recently Daniele Gatti as Principal Conductor (2009–2012). In 2000/01, the Zurich Opera Orchestra’s consistency and versatility were rewarded with extensive international recognition when it was voted “Orchestra of the Year” in a survey conducted by Opernwelt magazine. Many renowned conductors, such as Riccardo Chailly, Christoph von Dohnányi, Vladimir Fedoseyev, John Eliot Gardiner, Valery Gergiev, Bernard Haitink, Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Heinz Holliger, Zubin Mehta, Ingo Metzmacher, Georges Prêtre, Nello Santi, Ralf Weikert and many others come to Zurich regularly to work with the Orchestra on opera and/or concert performances.
