  • Koerner Hall 10Th Anniversary Gala: Kathleen Battle Tuesday, October 2, 2018 at 8:00Pm This Is the 862Nd Concert in Koerner Hall
    Koerner Hall 10th Anniversary Gala: Kathleen Battle Tuesday, October 2, 2018 at 8:00pm This is the 862nd concert in Koerner Hall Kathleen Battle Soprano Soprano Kathleen Battle’s luminous voice has been called “… without qualification, one of the very few most beautiful in the world” (The Washington Post). Yet beyond the glory of her singing, in a career filled with countless accolades, honours, and major milestones, what has perhaps distinguished her most is her almost magical ability to create an unwavering emotional bond between herself, her music, and her audience. In her youth, this native of Portsmouth, Ohio, the youngest of seven children, sang in church and school, and envisioned a future as a music teacher. Fortunately for audiences around the world, she found other ways to share her love of music – and through her natural gifts, innate intelligence, and hard work, her soaring voice has carried her to the heights of the classical music world. Indeed, throughout a remarkable career that has brought her to the stages of the world’s leading opera houses and major concert halls, critics have never tired of rhapsodizing over her limpid, unmistakable sound. Since her student years, Kathleen Battle has collaborated with colleagues who rank among the world’s most talented musicians. She has been a favourite soloist with the world’s leading orchestras and esteemed conductors such as Herbert von Karajan, Sir Georg Solti, Riccardo Muti, James Levine, Claudio Abbado, Lorin Maazel, Seiji Ozawa, Leonard Slatkin, and Sir Neville Marriner. Her partnerships with soprano Jessye Norman, tenors Luciano Pavarotti and Plácido Domingo, violinist Itzhak Perlman, trumpeter Wynton Marsalis, guitarist Christopher Parkening, flautists Jean-Pierre Rampal and Hubert Laws, and the late saxophonist Grover Washington, Jr., to name but a few, are documented on numerous recordings and video discs.

This exhibition focused on photographs taken by him of some thirty diHerent people at different stages during their life showing how they changed du ring a period of ten years (from 1991-2000). Those selected were of two adults and two children who are shown growing older through some 600 photographs. Valencia also oHered exhibitions of great interest. Above all, l would like to highlight the retrospective Ramon Goya, el pintor de las ciutats (IVAM, Valencia), and the avant-garde artist Antonio Ballester (Valencia, 19IO) (IVAM). l should not forget to mention two other exhibicions also at the IVAM: Pierre Alechinsky, the Belgian expressionist and founder member of the group Cobra, and the other, Roy Lichtenstein. In contrast, in Perpignan (Palau de Congressos Georges Pompidou), there was an important retrospective Aristides Maillol, whose sculptures were on show offering examples from all his periods, themes, formats and techniques used by this sculptor. ANNA BUTÍ (Translated by Roland Pearson) MUSIC In the area of symphonic and instrumental concerts, the prestigious Lorin Maazel conducted the London Philharmonic Orchestra in mid-July (1999) as part of the summer season of the Festival de Peralada. Moving on to the Fall season, at the end of October the Barcelona and National Catalonian Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Franz-Paul Decker with guest violinist Catherine Cho, interpreted a fairly surprising pro gram dedicated to Sir Edward EIgar (the emblematÏc representative of English Romantic Music) in the Auditori.

At that time the late James Burnett was especially helpful in providing dates for the L’Oiseau-Lyre recordings that he produced. More information was obtained from additional paperwork in association with Richard Alston for his book published to celebrate the conductor’s 70 th birthday in 1997. John Hunt’s most valuable discography devoted to the Staatskapelle Dresden was again helpful. Further updating has been undertaken in addition to the generous assistance of Philip Stuart via his LSO discography which he compiled for the Orchestra’s centenary in 2004 and has kept updated. Inevitably there are a number of missing credits for producers and engineers in the earliest years as these facts no longer survive. Additionally some exact dates have not been tracked down.
