  • NEWSLETTER of the American Handel Society
    NEWSLETTER of The American Handel Society Volume XVIII, Number 1 April 2003 A PILGRIMAGE TO IOWA As I sat in the United Airways terminal of O’Hare International Airport, waiting for the recently bankrupt carrier to locate and then install an electric starter for the no. 2 engine, my mind kept returning to David Lodge’s description of the modern academic conference. In Small World (required airport reading for any twenty-first century academic), Lodge writes: “The modern conference resembles the pilgrimage of medieval Christendom in that it allows the participants to indulge themselves in all the pleasures and diversions of travel while appearing to be austerely bent on self-improvement.” He continues by listing the “penitential exercises” which normally accompany the enterprise, though, oddly enough, he omits airport delays. To be sure, the companionship in the terminal (which included nearly a dozen conferees) was anything but penitential, still, I could not help wondering if the delay was prophecy or merely a glitch. The Maryland Handel Festival was a tough act to follow and I, and perhaps others, were apprehensive about whether Handel in Iowa would live up to the high standards set by its august predecessor. In one way the comparison is inappropriate. By the time I started attending the Maryland conference (in the early ‘90’s), it was a first-rate operation, a Cadillac among festivals. Comparing a one-year event with a two-decade institution is unfair, though I am sure in the minds of many it was inevitable. Fortunately, I feel that the experience in Iowa compared very favorably with what many of us had grown accustomed Frontispiece from William Coxe, Anecdotes fo George Frederick Handel and John Christopher Smith to in Maryland.

  • Des Coups De Cœur… La Musique Prime, C'est-À-Dire Le Compositeur
    Des coups de cœur… La musique prime, c'est‐à‐dire le compositeur ou l’interprète. Il s’agit de choix très subjectifs avec une règle qui est de ne pas constituer une discothèque à partir de quelques interprètes fétiches. Dans le même esprit, ce choix de l’interprétation est unique, ce qui ne signifie pas qu’il soit exclusif… Quelques commentaires succincts accompagnent ma sélection ainsi que quelques versions alternatives. Si ma discothèque fait une grande place aux interprétations de Richter, Guillels, Argerich, Oistrakh, Kogan, Kagan, Gutman, Bernstein, Karajan, Mravinski, c’est aussi parce qu’ils jouent les œuvres de Bach, Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann, Tchaïkovski, les musiciens de l’école de Vienne… leur répertoire est immense des classiques à la musique de notre temps. Finalement, j’ai peu d’affinité avec des musiciens au répertoire réduit comme Brendel et qui souvent critiquent la musique actuelle sauf celle qui tourne le dos à l’avenir comme Ciccolini et de façon surprenante Jean‐François Zygel. Cette liste, avec aussi ses thèmes, donnera peut être des pistes de découvertes. Mateo Albéniz, sonate par Alicia de Larrocha Dans la lignée de Scarlatti mais vraiment espagnole, une petite pièce, un petit bijou, une petite mécanique de précision, à écouter et à jouer… des années 1800. La pianiste espagnole est une experte de ces pièces courtes. C’est un cd Decca qui multiplie les feux d’artifices d’Albéniz, de Falla, de Granados et fait découvrir Mompou et Turina Charles‐Valentin Alkan, sonate de concert op 47 par Emmanuelle Bertrand et Pascal Amoyel Musicien du 19ème siècle, Alkan semble avoir été très atypique et caractériel.

  • The Recorded Examples Les Illustrations Sonores
    The recorded examples The eight CDs that accompany this treatise follow its argument closely. Lengthy works or those on a large scale are represented by a few well-chosen excerpts; we have also chosen to refer the listener to certain complete recordings that are easily available through normal commercial channels. The greatest performers of our time have devoted their talents to making these works live again; some of these works have also enjoyed stage revivals, as was the case with Lully’s Atys, conducted by William Christie and directed by Jean-Marie Villégier in 1987 in a staging that has since become legendary. More recently, the young conductor Sébastien Daucé has presented the first reconstruction of aballet de cour, the Ballet royal de la Nuit. Les illustrations sonores Les huit disques qui accompagnent cet ouvrage suivent pas à pas le cours de ce récit. En ce qui concerne les œuvres de grande envergure, elles ne sont illustrées ici que par quelques extraits représentatifs. Il convient évidemment de se référer aux quelques enregistrements complets qui sont disponibles sur le marché du disque. Les plus grands interprètes de notre époque ont apporté tout leur talent à faire revivre ces ouvrages, bénéficiant parfois aussi de la possibilité d’une représentation scénique, comme ce fut le cas pour Atys de Lully, dont le spectacle dirigé par William Christie pour la musique et par Jean-Marie Villégier pour la mise en scène fut, en 1987, un événement mémorable.
