Thanks to all dedicated IMZ members and friends who have contributed to this event it was a huge success, already in its first edition! We had the opportunity to welcome more than 320 participants from all over the world, started a cooperation with EFM/Berlinale and thereby strengthened the position of both performing arts films in the international film industry and the IMZ itself! For successfully implementing joint projects, initiatives and events such as the video li- brary & special lecture at Classical:NEXT, the International Emmy® Awards Semi-Final Judging, a special IMZ session at the IAMA Media Day, the Film Festival at Wiener Rathausplatz, open air made-to-measure music film festivals for the general public in Brno, Yekaterinburg and Curitiba, industry film screenings and the 2nd edition of the IMZ Academy at ITF Golden Prague Festival, the IMZ World Music Film Screenings at WOMEX, a lively exchange with Opera Europa at their Autumn Conference in Brno and many more – it takes trustworthy and valuable cooperation partners, to whom we owe a debt of gratitude, our sincere thanks for having once again made an important contribution to promoting and fostering the cause of the IMZ. If not for their support as well as the support of all our IMZ members, the IMZ could not look back on such a successful year that has led us into a new era. Therefore, on be- half of the IMZ board members and our creative and hard-working IMZ team in Vienna: Thank you for another wonderful year! As for now, we are preparing and heading for the 2nd and even larger edition of Avant Première Music + Media Market Berlin 2015, with an extended programme from Avant Première Screenings presenting the latest 550 programmes of 70 companies worldwide to panel discussions tackling industry relevant topics or a special presenta- tion by Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institut presenting TIME Lab to the public. Last but not least we are proud to welcome big names of the scene to Avant Première’s Special Screenings: tenor Placido Domingo, conductor Daniel Barenboim and stage director Phillipp Stölzl as well as the 2Cellos Luka Šulić and Stjepan Hauser will be presenting their latest films in person. Therefore we are already looking forward to seeing you at Avant Première Music + Media Market Berlin 2015 and at one or the other interesting IMZ event in the upcoming year!

    Navigating, Coping & Cashing In

    The RECORDING Navigating, Coping & Cashing In Maze November 2013 Introduction Trying to get a handle on where the recording business is headed is a little like trying to nail Jell-O to the wall. No matter what side of the business you may be on— producing, selling, distributing, even buying recordings— there is no longer a “standard operating procedure.” Hence the title of this Special Report, designed as a guide to the abundance of recording and distribution options that seem to be cropping up almost daily thanks to technology’s relentless march forward. And as each new delivery CONTENTS option takes hold—CD, download, streaming, app, flash drive, you name it—it exponentionally accelerates the next. 2 Introduction At the other end of the spectrum sits the artist, overwhelmed with choices: 4 The Distribution Maze: anybody can (and does) make a recording these days, but if an artist is not signed Bring a Compass: Part I with a record label, or doesn’t have the resources to make a vanity recording, is there still a way? As Phil Sommerich points out in his excellent overview of “The 8 The Distribution Maze: Distribution Maze,” Part I and Part II, yes, there is a way, or rather, ways. But which Bring a Compass: Part II one is the right one? Sommerich lets us in on a few of the major players, explains 11 Five Minutes, Five Questions how they each work, and the advantages and disadvantages of each. with Three Top Label Execs In “The Musical America Recording Surveys,” we confirmed that our readers are both consumers and makers of recordings.
  • Give Me Excess of Hampson

    Give Me Excess of Hampson

    Play On: Give Me Excess of Hampson By Janos Gereben—October 2, 2008 Humans, in general, mellow with age. Thomas Hampson doesn't. Au contraire, he is more intense, dramatic, overwhelming, multitasking, brilliant than ever. Beyond the simple excellence of his other master classes, such as the one in Wigmore or in the old S.F. Conservatory of Music, his six hours over Thursday and tonight went beyond all expectations. Here he was, in the new Conservatory building, at the first "LIEDER ALIVE!" master workshop, singing duets of traditionally "single-voice" lieder, massaging skulls (his own and those of others), discussing music, literature, psychology, anatomy, the transporter beaming process in "Star Trek" (more about that later), and other subjects too numerous to list. The two evenings were reminiscent of what was going on in the nearby War Memorial: the amaZing excess, surfeit, daZZle of "Die Tote Stadt." Another similarity: above all, both events are about music, other factors - however numerous - be damned. And yet, sometimes it was difficult to remember that main theme, watching Katherine Tier surrounded by Hampson phantoms - one pressing in on the meZZo's cheekbones, the other singing "Kindertotenlieder" with her, the third in throes of the grief and resolution she should convey, and the fourth thundering an interpretation of the text speaking of the eyes of dead children becoming stars of future nights: "It happens. Your children will not stay with you. And guess what: you will die too. It's OK." And suddenly, instead of crumbling under that manifold "attack," Tier sang "Nun seh'ich, wohl, warum so dunkle Flammen" beautifully, with an understanding of its subtle catharsis, rather than sentimentally.

Uttrycket "star quality" har en djupare innebörd i operavärlden. Att vara en virtuos sångare är inte nog. Som konstform handlar opera också om att fånga publikens uppmärksamhet. Ingen under modern tid gör detta bättre än operadivan Anna Netrebko. Som en recensent uttryckte det så personifierar hon ordet ”extra”. Med sin fantastiska röst och självlysande karisma är hon en större-än-livet-sångare som håller klassikerna vid liv, säljer slut varje föreställning och fångar uppmärksamheten även hos en publik som är ovan vid opera. Anna Netrebko öppnar dörrar. Hon var den första klassiska musikern som togs upp i Time Magazines lista över ”Top 100 Most Influential People”. När Anna Netrebko uppträder är det omöjligt att vända bort blicken. af^kb=t^oobk= Polar Music Prize 2020 tilldelas den amerikanska låtskrivaren Diane Warren, en mästare på att skriva för den mänskliga rösten. Hennes poplåtar förkroppsligar den ovanliga kombinationen att vara lättlyssnade och samtidigt tillräckligt komplexa för att höras hundratals gånger och fortfarande säga något till lyssnaren. Diane Warren är den regerande drottningen över amerikansk populärmu- sik. Genom att skriva för artister som Céline Dion, Cher, Aerosmith, Whitney Houston, Beyoncé och Lady Gaga samt få elva Oscarsnomineringar för sina låtar till Hollywood-filmer, har hon full- bordat konsten att göra powerballader. Diane Warren äger själv alla sina låtar och driver sitt eget musikförlag, Realsongs, som blivit ett av de mest framgångsrika i världen. Att som sångare få en Diane Warren-sång är en gåva.

  • The Blake Collection in Memory of Nancy M

    The Blake Collection in Memory of Nancy M

    The Blake Collection In Memory of Nancy M. Blake BELLINI’S NORMA featuring CECILIA BARTOLI This tragic opera is set in Roman-occupied, first-century Gaul, features a title character, who although a Druid priestess, is in many ways a modern woman. Norma has secretly taken the Roman proconsul Pollione as her lover and had two children with him. Political and personal crises arise when the locals turn against the occupiers and Pollione turns to a new paramour. Norma “is a role with emotions ranging from haughty and demanding, to desperately passionate, to vengeful and defiant. And the singer must convey all of this while confronting some of the most vocally challenging music ever composed. And if that weren't intimidating enough for any singer, Norma and its composer have become almost synonymous with the specific and notoriously torturous style of opera known as bel canto — literally, ‘beautiful singing’” (“Love Among the Druids: Bellini's Norma,” NPR World of Opera, May 16, 2008). And Bartoli, one of the greatest living opera divas, is up to the challenges the role brings. (New York Public Radio’s WQXR’s “OperaVore” declared that “Bartoli is Fierce and Mercurial in Bellini's Norma,” Marion Lignana Rosenberg, June 09, 2013.) If you’re already a fan of this opera, you’ve no doubt heard a recording spotlighting the great soprano Maria Callas (and we have such a recording, too), but as the notes with the Bartoli recording point out, “The role of Norma was written for Giuditta Pasta, who sang what today’s listeners would consider to be mezzo-soprano roles,” making Bartoli more appropriate than Callas as Norma.

Great Performances at the Met – featuring 19 unforgettable arias and duets selected from the past eight seasons of broadcasts, performed by today's greatest opera stars and talents – will air on Great Performances in December. (In New York, THIRTEEN will air the program on Thursday, December 11 at 8:30 p.m.) Hosted by soprano Deborah Voigt , from the Grand Staircase of the Met, the special covers a wide range of operatic ground, from heartbreak to hilarity, delivered by such artists as Natalie Dessay , Plácido Domingo , Renée Fleming , Juan Diego Flórez , Jonas Kaufmann , and Anna Netrebko , along with Voigt herself. These extraordinary moments, 2 selected from more than 75 productions, were initially seen as part of the Met’s global Live in HD movie-theater transmissions, and later shared with PBS audiences as presentations of Great Performances at the Met . These broadcast performances are the “high pressure performances that separate the divas from the girls,” says Voigt with a twinkle in her eye. The musical excerpts are interspersed with commentary by Voigt and some backstage interviews with the singers.
