  • The Lullaby Concerts 2009–2018
    THE LULLABY CONCERTS 2009–2018 AN OVERVIEW OF THE LULLABY CONCERTS Orchestras Live developed the Lullaby concert series in partnership with City of London Sinfonia, as a response to the need for Early Years music making opportunities in rural and culturally undeserved areas in the east of England. Our aim was to develop inspiring, interactive and relevant ways to engage very young children (aged up to 7 years) in first-time experiences of live orchestral music. This included a long-term approach to artistic exploration with our creative partners, responding to the needs and priorities of the communities where the work was based. Evolving from a series of pilot projects started in 2003, the Lullaby concerts reached over 20,000 young children and their families in Suffolk and Essex over 10 years. For many this was their first experience of live orchestral music, and these encounters have often inspired children to take up an instrument or other creative activity, as well as encouraging families to experience more live music together. Each year the concert series, performed by City of London Sinfonia and led by presenter Claire Henry, engaged children through vivid worlds such as animals, forests and science; telling musical stories through everyday themes. After each concert the children in the audience had a chance to try orchestral instruments, supported by professional players and tutors. Over the 10 years the programme involved 727 Early Years practitioners in a CPD training development strand linked to the Lullaby concerts; the Lullaby artistic team shared appropriate skills and ideas which practitioners could take back and use in their nursery settings.

It is, in a sense, a narrative of my own life rather than a chronological order of compositions. To try and impose a collective meaning to all this, I turned to the well worn myth of Pandora but with a change of emphasis – so the title Pandora's Last Gift was born.

  • A1 KROMMER Symphonies: No. 1 in F, Op. 12
    A1 KROMMER Symphonies: No. 1 in F, op. 12; No. 2 in D, op. 40; No. 3 in D, op. 62 • Howard Griffiths, cond; O della Svizzera Italiana • CPO 555 099-2 (77:26) The Czech-born František Vincenc Kramář (1759–1831), who became Franz Krommer when he moved to Vienna in 1785, is a case study in how our evaluation of a composer can be compromised by the company he keeps. Krommer, in my opinion, has long been slotted into the wrong pigeonhole as a result of a series of Chandos recordings titled Contemporaries of Mozart, made back in the 1990s. Those CDs—five in all—lumped Krommer in with Leopold Kozeluch, Ignace Pleyel, Carl Stamitz, and Pavel Vranicky. While it’s true, chronologically, that all of these composers were more or less contemporaneous with Mozart and Haydn, they were a bit behind the curve in terms of form and content when it came to writing symphonies. Krommer, on the other hand, outlived not only Mozart and Haydn; he outlived Beethoven by four years and was thus aware of how the meaning of the term “symphony” had been transformed. The three symphonies on this disc—Krommer composed 10 symphonies in all, one of them unnumbered—date from between the late 1790s to around 1810, with a specific date of 1803 given for the Symphony No. 2. These are big, substantive works in a late-Haydn/early-Beethoven mold—i.e., four movements, with a Menuetto in third place, an Adagio introduction to a fully worked out sonata- allegro first movement, and running to the better part of 30 minutes apiece.
