    Das Usedomer Musikfestival 2021 wird gefördert durch Mittel der Bundes- regierung, der Landesregierung Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, des Landkreises Vorpommern-Greifswald, der Ämter Usedom-Nord und Usedom-Süd, der Stadt Świnoujście, der Gemeinden der Insel Usedom sowie durch zahlreiche Liebes Sponsoren und Förderer: Festivalpublikum, „Litauen, mein Vaterland! Wie die Gesundheit bist du! Wer dich noch nie ver- loren, der hat dich nie gekannt!”. Der polnische Dichter Adam Mickiewicz, den die Litauer Adomas Mickevičius nennen, eröffnet damit sein Epos „Pan Finanzgruppe Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Tadeusz”. Ist es nicht eine seltsame Fügung, dass wir beim Usedomer Mu- sikfestival Litauen ins Zentrum stellen, nachdem wir uns alle so angespannt um unsere Gesundheit sorgen mussten? „Wer dich noch nie verloren, der hat dich nie gekannt!” – nachdenklich, aber mit Zuversicht wollen wir aufbrechen in eine neue Normalität des Festivallebens. Ihr überwältigender Zuspruch im vergangenen Jahr gibt uns Mut dafür. In Litauen lebten seit alters her Litauer zusammen mit Polen, Deutschen, Juden und Weißrussen. Mit Filmen von Vol- ker Koepp und einer Lesung von Corinna Harfouch werden wir diese Geschich- te wachrufen. Die Volkslieder Litauens sind Weltkulturerbe der Unesco; sie leben weiter in jungen Spitzenkünstlern wie dem Akkordeonisten Martynas Levickis und dem Pianisten Lukas Geniušas. Der Cellist und Dirigent David Geringas ist litauischer Kulturpatriot und Weltbürger zugleich. Er wird die Musik seines Landes auf Usedom, zwischen Wald und Meer, Schloss und Seebad, ebenso feiern, wie der Gewandhausorganist Michael Schönheit und der neue litauische Weltstar der Opernbühne: Aušrine Stundytė. Auch das NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester und unser Baltic Sea Philharmonic kommen wieder nach Peenemünde. Sie sind eingeladen, dabei zu sein!

  • Thesis October 11,2012
    Demystifying Galina Ustvolskaya: Critical Examination and Performance Interpretation. Elena Nalimova 10 October 2012 Submitted in partial requirement for the Degree of PhD in Performance Practice at the Goldsmiths College, University of London 1 Declaration The work presented in this thesis is my own and has not been presented for any other degree. Where the work of others has been utilised this has been indicated and the sources acknowledged. All the translations from Russian are my own, unless indicated otherwise. Elena Nalimova 10 October 2012 2 Note on transliteration and translation The transliteration used in the thesis and bibliography follow the Library of Congress system with a few exceptions such as: endings й, ий, ый are simplified to y; я and ю transliterated as ya/yu; е is е and ё is e; soft sign is '. All quotations from the interviews and Russian publications were translated by the author of the thesis. 3 Abstract This thesis presents a performer’s view of Galina Ustvolskaya and her music with the aim of demystifying her artistic persona. The author examines the creation of ‘Ustvolskaya Myth’ by critically analysing Soviet, Russian and Western literature sources, oral history on the subject and the composer’s personal recollections, and reveals paradoxes and parochial misunderstandings of Ustvolskaya’s personality and the origins of her music. Having examined all the available sources, the author argues that the ‘Ustvolskaya Myth’ was a self-made phenomenon that persisted due to insufficient knowledge on the subject. In support of the argument, the thesis offers a performer’s interpretation of Ustvolskaya as she is revealed in her music.

  • 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?

    Sheku Kanneh-Mason Sheku Kanneh-Mason is the 2016 BBC Young Musician, a title he won with a stunning performance of the Shostakovich Cello Concerto at London’s Barbican Hall with the BBC Symphony Orchestra. In April 2017, Sheku returned to the hall for another performance of the concerto, this time with the National Youth Orchestra and Carlos Miguel Prieto after which the Guardian wrote that “technically superb and eloquent in his expressivity, he held the capacity audience spellbound with an interpretation of exceptional authority” and the Telegraph acknowledged “what a remarkable musician he already is, bringing other- worldly tone to the haunting slow movement and displaying mature musicianship in his handling of the extended cadenza” Only eighteen years old, Sheku’s international career is developing very quickly with engagements in the 2017/18 and 2018/19 seasons including the CBSO, the Philharmonia Orchestra at the Newbury Spring Festival, a return to the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, Zurich Tonhalle Orchestra, Barcelona Symphony, Netherlands Chamber Orchestra (his debut at the Concertgebouw), Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra (Sheku’s concerto debut in North America), Louisiana Philharmonic, and the Seattle and Atlanta symphonies. He will also return to the BBC Symphony Orchestra to perform the Elgar Concerto in his hometown of Nottingham and make his debut at the Vienna Konzerthaus with the Japan Philharmonic. In recital, Sheku has several concerts across the UK with highlights over the next two seasons including his debuts at Kings Place as part of their Cello Unwrapped series, Milton Court, and Wigmore Hall. He will also perform a series of concerts in Canada in December 2017, and further recitals at the Zurich Tonhalle, and the Lucerne Festival.

  • Composer Keith Burstein Pays Homage to Beethoven with a New Work to Mark the 250Th Anniversary of His Birth
    COMPOSER KEITH BURSTEIN PAYS HOMAGE TO BEETHOVEN WITH A NEW WORK TO MARK THE 250TH ANNIVERSARY OF HIS BIRTH Keith Burstein rehearsing his Symphony No 1 Elixir with the Kaunas City Symphony Orchestra in Kaunas Lithuania in 2012. Performance Date: 25 March 2020 Venue: Cadogan Hall, London A new work written by composer Keith Burstein to mark the 250th anniversary of the birth of Ludwig van Beethoven will be performed by the London Chamber Orchestra (LCO) at the Cadogan Hall in Chelsea, London, on 25 March 2020. Memories of Bonn, Symphonic Poem No 1 will be conducted by LCO’s Music Director and Principal Conductor, Christopher Warren-Green, and was inspired by the composer’s visit to Bonn, Beethoven’s birthplace. Vladimir Ashkenazy, the great pianist and conductor – and mentor to Burstein – suggested he wrote the Symphonic Poem. Albany Arts | A22 Laystall Street | London | EC1R 4PA | t: + 44 (0) 20 78 79 88 95 | www.albanyartscommunications.com The piece seeks to reflect the complex confluence of history and culture that Burstein experienced in Bonn when he attended a premiere of his music there in 2016. Inevitably the music evokes Beethoven, who is considered by the composer to be ‘the exemplar of a radical composer who wrote memorable melodies.’ Burstein is renowned for his fervent championing of tonal music, as opposed to the atonal style which has dominated classical music teaching and composition for over a century, and Memories of Bonn looks set to ignite the ongoing controversy surrounding the pre-eminence of atonal music over tonal. ‘I am delighted Christopher Warren-Green and the London Chamber Orchestra are premiering this new work, which was strongly advocated by Mark Redman, Chairman of the LCO Trust.

According to the Chicago Tribune, Marston’s name is ‘synonymous with tender loving care to collectors of historical CDs’. Opera News calls his work ‘revelatory’, and Fanfare deems him ‘miraculous’. In 1996 Ward Marston received the Gramophone award for Historical Vocal Recording of the Year, honouring his production and engineering work on Romophone’s complete recordings of Lucrezia Bori. He also served as re-recording engineer for the Franklin Mint’s Arturo Toscanini issue and BMG’s Sergey Rachmaninov recordings, both winners of the Best Historical Album Grammy. Born blind in 1952, Ward Marston has amassed tens of thousands of opera classical records over the past four MOZART decades. Following a stint in radio while a student at Williams College, he became well-known as a reissue producer in 1979, when he restored the earliest known stereo recording made by the Bell Telephone Laboratories in 1932. Violin Sonatas In the past, Ward Marston has produced records for a number of major and specialist record companies. Now he is bringing his distinctive sonic vision to bear on works released on the Naxos Historical label. Ultimately his goal is to make the music he remasters sound as natural as possible and true to life by ‘lifting the voices’ off his old 78 rpm K. 376 and K. 526 recordings. His aim is to promote the importance of preserving old recordings and make available the works of great musicians who need to be heard.
