  • The Publication History of Spohr's Clarinet Concertos
    THE PUBLICATION HISTORY OF SPOHR'S CLARINET CONCERTOS by Keith Warsop N DISCUSSING the editions used for the recording by French clarinettist paul Meyer of Spohr's four concertos for the instrument on the Alpha label (released as a two-CD set, ALPHA 605, with the orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne), reviewers in the November 2012 issues of the Gramophone and,Internotional Record Review magazines came to some slightly misleading conclusions about this subject so that it has become important to clarify matters. Carl Rosman, writing in 1RR, ,authentic, said: "Meyer has also taken steps towards a more text fbr these concertos. While the clarinet works of Mozart, Brahms and Weber have seen various Urtext editions over the years, Spohr's concertos circulate only in piano reductions from the late nineteenth century ... Meyer has prepared his own editions from the best available sources (the manuscripts of all but No.4 have been lost but there are contemporary manuscript copies of the others held at the Louis Spohr Society in Kassel); this has certainly giu., him lreater freedom in the area of articulation, and also allowed him to adopt some more-flowing temios than the late nineteenth-century editions specify.', In the Gramophone, Nalen Anthoni stated: "Hermstedt demanded exclusive rights and, presumably, kept the autographs. Only that of No.4 was found, in 1960. The other works have been put together from manuscript copies. Paul Meyer seems largely attuned to the solo parts edited by stanley Drucker, the one-time principal ciarinettist of the New york philharmonic. Michael Collins [on the Hyperion label] is of similar mind, though both musicians add their own individual touches phrasing to and articulation.

  • 'Kazushi Ono's Musical Direction Was Flawlessly Idiomatic
    Kazushi Ono Conductor ‘Kazushi Ono’s musical direction was flawlessly idiomatic in a challenging score that must be as fiendish to play as it is elaborate on the ear’ MUSICAL AMERICA – The Fiery Angel – Aix Festival Kazushi Ono’s musical influence and vision span and connect continents and cultures, with roles as Music Director of Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra (TMSO) and Orquestra Simfònica de Barcelona i Nacional de Catalunya (OBC) and as Artistic Director of the New National Theatre Tokyo (NNTT). He has toured Europe extensively with TMSO, visiting six cities in eleven days in 2015, and brought OBC to Japan in 2019 with a new production of Turandot for NNTT, as well as orchestral concerts. He is passionate about new music and has commissioned many works and projects, such as Mark-Anthony Turnage’s Hibiki, which premiered at Suntory Hall before featuring at the 2017 BBC Proms. He instigated NNTT’s first commissioning scheme, dedicated to Japanese composers, which has so far included operas Asters by Akira Nishimura (2019) and Dai Fujikura’s A Dream of Armageddon (2020). Ono established himself internationally with orchestras such as London Symphony Orchestra, BBC Symphony Orchestra, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Brussels Philharmonic, Orchestre de Paris, Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, Seoul Philharmonic and Houston Symphony Orchestra, where his performance of Russian repertoire was described by the Houston Chronicle as ‘a first-rate concert steeped in stormy emotions, fragile beauty, and wide- screen grandeur’. From 2008 to 2017, Ono served as Principal Conductor of Opéra National de Lyon, attracting international acclaim with landmark performances of works such as Prokofiev’s The Gamblers, Berg’s Lulu and Wagner’s Parsifal.

  • I Played Bach Regularly During the Composition of the Conc Erto, and Was Greatly Attracted to the “Brandenburg” Concertos
    “I played Bach regularly during the composition of the Conc erto, and was greatly attracted to the “Brandenburg” Concertos. Whether or not the first theme of my [first] movement is a conscious borrowing from the third Brandenburg, however, I do not know.” — Igor Stravinsky Nederlands: pagina 2 Français : page 10 English: page 18 Musici / Musiciens: pagina / page 26 livestream in samenwerking met / en collaboration avec Evil Penguin TV met de steun van de Belgische Tax Shelter / avec le soutien du Tax Shelter belge 2 W ELKOM Igor Stravinsky en Sergei Prokofiev. Twee Russische grootmeesters die de muziekgeschiedenis danig beïnvloed hebben - en zelf hun bewondering voor illustere voorgangers niet onder stoelen of banken staken: dank dus aan Bach en Haydn voor de inspiratie die deze twee werken opleverde! Bachs Brandenburg Concertos stonden duidelijk op repeat bij Igor Stravinsky tijdens het schrijven van ‘Dumbarton Oaks’, naar de naam van de villa van opdrachtgevers Mildred en Robert Wood Bliss. Het muzikale cadeau voor hun 30ste huwelijksverjaardag werd een heerlijk kleurrijk en energiek werk. Geen Bach maar Haydn bij Prokofiev: hij componeerde zijn 1ste Symfonie, die de passende titel ‘de klassieke’ kreeg, alsof het een werk van de 18de-eeuwse meester was. De stijl, de orkestbezetting, de opzet: allemaal klassiek, maar wel dooraderd met Prokofievs eigen 20ste-eeuwse karakter. VOORPROGRAMMA Up, Close & Personal is een nieuwe videoreeks met kamermuziek door musici van Brussels ​ Philharmonic.

  • Der Kritiker Sagt
    SABINE MEYER Clarinet Sabine Meyer is one of the world’s most renowned instrumental soloists. It is partly due to her that the clarinet, a solo instrument previously underestimated, recaptured the attention of the concert platform. Born in Crailsheim, she studied with Otto Hermann in Stuttgart and Hans Deinzer in Hanover, then embarked on a career as an orchestral musician and became member of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra. This was followed by an engagement as solo clarinettist at the Berlin Philharmonic which she abandoned, as she was more and more in demand as a soloist. For almost a quarter of a century, numerous concerts and broadcast engagements led her to all musical centres of Europe as well as to Brazil, Israel, Canada, Africa and Australia, and, for twenty years, equally regularly to Japan and the USA. Sabine Meyer has been a much-celebrated soloist with more than three hundred orchestras internationally. She has given guest performances with all the top-level orchestras in Germany and has been engaged by the world’s leading orchestras such as the Vienna Philharmonic, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the NHK Symphony Orchestra Tokyo, the Orchestra of Suisse Romande, the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, the Radio Orchestras of Vienna, Basel, Warsaw, Prague and Budapest as well as numerous additional ensembles. Sabine Meyer is particularly interested in the field of chamber music, where she has formed much long-lasting collaboration. She has explored a wide range of chamber repertoire with such colleagues as Heinrich Schiff, Gidon Kremer, Oleg Maisenberg, Leif Ove Andsnes, Fazil Say, Martin Helmchen, Juliane Banse, the Hagen Quartet, Tokyo String and Modigliani Quartet.
