  • Robert Redford’S Wood-Carving Storyteller
    lifestyle WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 10, 2016 MUSIC & MOVIES Review Florence Foster Jenkins: Tone-deaf but adored hen opera lovers ask New York’s Carnegie Hall for souvenir concert programs, they’re not usually inter- Wested in Maria Callas or Joan Sutherland. More often than not, the name they request is Florence Foster Jenkins, an American socialite who only appeared at the legendary venue once, and couldn’t hold a note. “In order for a singer to suc- ceed, they need to have a combination of talent, charisma, and interpretive quality,” Carnegie’s archives director Gino Francesconi wrote in a blogpost commemorating her life. “And, by definition, they need to be able to sing. Florence Foster Jenkins had none of these attributes. In fact, she was considered one of the worst singers of all time.” Jenkins, who craved fame as a diva but gained infamy for her terrible voice, is the subject of “Florence Foster Jenkins,” a bittersweet biopic which hits US theaters this week, starring three-time Oscar winner Meryl Streep and Hugh Grant. “She almost gets it, and that’s what I found delicious in her,” Streep told the audience at a preview screening for the Paramount picture in Beverly Hills last week. “I started listening to the recordings and I could feel her This image released by Disney shows Oakes Fegley in a scene from “Pete’s Dragon.”— AP getting really excited and her thinking ‘This is going very well,’” said the actress. Jenkins, who inherited a fortune from her father in 1909, had to give up her beloved piano due to nerve damage from syphilis contracted from her first husband when she was just a teenager.

  • Current Review
    Current Review Christian Ferras plays Beethoven and Berg Violin Concertos aud 95.590 EAN: 4022143955906 4022143955906 Fanfare (Robert Maxham - 2012.05.01) Audite’s program of violin concertos by Ludwig van Beethoven and Alban Berg captures two moments in the life of Christian Ferras, the first a studio recording from November 19, 1951, made in the Jesus-Christus-Kirche after the 18-year-old violinist had given a live performance of the work at the Titania Palast and more than a decade before he would record the work with Herbert von Karajan and the same orchestra. The young Ferras sounds both flexible and sprightly in the first movement’s passagework, producing a suave tone that might be described as almost gustatory in its effect as he soars above the orchestra. That tone lacks the sharp edge of Zino Francescatti’s and even the slightly reedy quality of Arthur Grumiaux’s, and he never seems to be deploying it simply for the sheer beauty of it: As sumptuous as it might sound, it always serves his high-minded concept of the work itself. And his playing of Fritz Kreisler’s famous cadenza similarly subordinates virtuosity to musical effect. Karl Böhm sets the mood for a probing exploration of the slow movement, in which Ferras sounds similarly committed; he never allows himself to be diverted into mannerism or eccentricity, as Anne-Sophie Mutter does in her performance with Kurt Masur and the New York Philharmonic (Deutsche Grammophon 289 471 349, Fanfare 26:5 and 26:6). What the young Michael Rabin achieved in the showpieces of Wieniawski and Paganini, Ferras arguably exceeded in the music of Beethoven.

  • Septuagesima, Third Sunday Before Lent – 9Th February 2020
    1 Music Notes: Septuagesima, Third Sunday before Lent – 9th February 2020 It is difficult to believe that it is already just over seven years since the death of Richard Rodney Bennett (1936–2012) – he contrived to expire on Christmas Eve 2012. He was a remarkable composer and performer. As a student at the Royal Academy, he studied with Howard Ferguson and Lennox Berkeley, although perhaps with little evidence of this in his later works. While at the Academy (where he would later teach himself), he struck up a good relationship with the British avant garde composer Cornelius Cardew, before going to study with Boulez in Paris, who impressed him deeply, although not permanently. At that time, he was much taken with Boulez’s music, and with it, the entire serialist school. “Serial” here refers to a style of composition in which (in its classic version) a sequence of notes is defined – usually not something that most people would call a “tune” in the conventional sense – and the composer then uses this as the “input” for a work, manipulating the so-called “tone row” in a variety of ways to form the structure of the music. To be rather blunt, this doesn’t work well for many people, and it is often what people mean when they speak of “squeaky gate music”. Still, it became a very important compositional device for many years in the hands of a large number of composers. For a time, it almost succeeded in knocking most other approaches to composition out of the way. In recent years, this has changed again.
