  • 2 to Be Somebody: Ambition and the Desire to Be Different
    2 To Be Somebody: Ambition and the Desire to Be Different The context for difference This chapter aims to identify some of the bands that enjoyed chart success during the late 1970s and ’80s and identify their artistic traits by means of conversations with band members and those close to the bands. This chapter does not claim to be a definitive account or an inclusive list of innovative bands but merely a viewpoint from some of the individuals who were present at the time and involved in music, creativity and youth culture. Some of these individuals were in the eye of the storm while others were more on the periphery. However, common themes emerge and testify to the Scouse resilience identified in the previous chapter. Also, identifying objective truth is a difficult task, as one band member will often have a view of his band’s history that conflicts with that of other members of the same band. As such, it is acknowledged that this chapter presents only selective viewpoints. Trying something new: In what ways were the Liverpool bands creative and different? ‘Liverpool has always made me brave, choice-wise. It was never a city that criticized anyone for taking a chance.’ David Morrissey1 In terms of creativity, the theory underpinning this book which was stated in Chapter 1 is that successful Liverpool bands in the 1980s were different from each other and did not attempt to follow the latest local or national pop music trends. None of the bands interviewed falls into the categories of punk, disco or New Romantic, which were popular trends at the time.

Critics praised Grimes for its realization of many aesthetic ideals of the traditional canon of opera, including musical depiction of character, innovation, and unification of music and drama. Subsequent English operas, however, failed to achieve the same success. Ralph Vaughan Williams‘s The Pilgrim’s Progress and Britten‘s Gloriana, especially, became subjects of critical disapproval. Scholars have examined the reception histories of these operas, but none has attempted to show a connection between them. This thesis explores the ways in which the success of Peter Grimes affected the reception of The Pilgrim’s Progress and Gloriana. Reviews in English newspapers, magazines, and journals serve as the primary sources for this investigation. Expressly, critics found fault with the characterization, originality, and integration of The Pilgrim’s Progress and Gloriana, i.e., the very same areas in which Grimes had excelled.

  • Britten and His Fellow Composers: Six Footnotes for a Seventieth Birthday
    15 Britten and His Fellow Composers: Six Footnotes for a Seventieth Birthday DAVID DREW Not only for critical and scholarly purposes but also for those of concert planning, the study of Britten's links with other major composers- as with lesser ones - had proved its worth long before comparable pairings became a cliche of concert promotion on both sides of the Atlantic. Hans Keller's pioneering thesis on Britten and Mozart was written in 1946 and first pub­ lished two years later, but was not to achieve fame and notoriety until its reappearance in Benjamin Britten: A Commentary on His Works From A Group of Specialists (1952). By then, Donald Mitchell, Paul Hamburger and Keller himself had greatly extended the field of reference in their writings for Music Survey and the Music Review. In its historical context - that is, in the context of a musical culture whose inborn insularity had become in the war years a necessary defence mechanism - the collocation of Britten and Mozart was provocative in the highest degree. The liberating force of Britten's cosmopolitanism had been resisted from the start by opponents of his similarly outward-listening teacher Frank Bridge. For them, the Mozartian parallel was so gross an impiety that they were ready to applaud Martin Cooper's brilliantly subversive suggestion that the true analogy was not with Mozart but with Saint-Saens. At a time when the reputation of that immensely accomplished and widely enjoyed composer was somewhat tarnished, comparisons with Britten had a polemical thrust that is almost unimaginable today. In Phaeton, in Le Rouet d'Omphale, even in the Carnival of the Animals, today's listeners may hear without embarrassment something of what Britten himself must once have heard.

  • Press Releases OMD Announce Special 40Th Anniversary World
    Monday 11th March 2019 OMD Announce Special 40th Anniversary World Tour Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark (OMD) continue their 40th anniversary celebrations with the announcement of a special world tour, visiting York Barbican on Sunday 27th October 2019. The world tour starts in October in Portugal, stretching through to February 2020 finishing in Paris, and the band will be joined by both Martin Cooper and Stuart Kershaw. Today’s announcement comes as part of another exciting installment of the band’s 40th anniversary celebrations which first saw the reissue of their first four classic albums on 180g vinyl, mastered at half speed by Miles Showell at Abbey Road and housed in their original iconic die cut sleeves designed by the legendary Peter Saville. “Electronic music is our language,” Andy McCluskey says. “It’s how we talk.” “We’re at our best when we’re in a room together, working,” Paul Humphreys adds. “That’s when the sparks and ideas happen. It’s the same now as it ever was.” The band were formed in 1978 by teenage friends Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys. They quickly became electro-pioneers with a string of hit albums released throughout the 1980’s, eventually selling over 25 million singles and 15 million albums across their career to date, establishing them as electronic synthesiser pioneers and one of Britain’s best-loved pop groups. Last year OMD also played two acclaimed concerts at the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra in October. Both shows sold out and featured orchestral arrangements of many of OMD’s biggest hits, with The Times’ four star review describing the arrangements as “working perfectly with the orchestra and demonstrating how uncompromising OMD have been“.
