  • Benjamin Grosvenor, Piano
    BENJAMIN GROSVENOR, PIANO a formidable technician and a thoughtful, coolly assured interpreter - Allan Kozinn, New York Times, ...a skill and talent not heard since Kissins teenage Russian debut - Bryce Morrison, Gramophone Magazine British pianist Benjamin Grosvenor is internationally recognized for his electrifying performances and penetrating interpretations. An exquisite technique and ingenious flair for tonal colour are the hallmarks which make Benjamin Grosvenor one of the most sought-after young pianists in the world. His virtuosic command over the most strenuous technical complexities never compromises the formidable depth and intelligence of his interpretations. Described by some as a Golden Age pianist (American Record Guide) and one almost from another age (The Times), Benjamin is renowned for his distinctive sound, described as poetic and gently ironic, brilliant yet clear-minded, intelligent but not without humour, all translated through a beautifully clear and singing touch (The Independent). Benjamin first came to prominence as the outstanding winner of the Keyboard Final of the 2004 BBC Young Musician Competition at the age of eleven. Since then, he has become an internationally regarded pianist performing with orchestras including the London Philharmonic, RAI Torino, New York Philharmonic, Philharmonia, Tokyo Symphony, and in venues such as the Royal Festival Hall, Barbican Centre, Singapores Victoria Hall, The Frick Collection and Carnegie Hall (at the age of thirteen). Benjamin has worked with numerous esteemed conductors including Vladimir Ashkenazy, Jií Blohlávek, Semyon Bychkov and Vladimir Jurowski. At just nineteen, Benjamin performed with the BBC Symphony Orchestra on the First Night of the 2011 BBC Proms to a sold-out Royal Albert Hall.

  • IIJ and the NHK Symphony Orchestra to Stream Hi-Res Audio Performances
    For Immediate Release IIJ and the NHK Symphony Orchestra to Stream Hi-Res Audio Performances --This technological partnership is the first hi-res streaming of NHKSO concerts, confirming the feasibility of regular streaming services-- TOKYO—April 28, 2017—Internet Initiative Japan Inc. (IIJ, NASDAQ: IIJI, TSE1: 3774), one of Japan's leading Internet access and comprehensive network solutions providers, and the NHK Symphony Orchestra, Tokyo, (NHKSO) today announced that they are making hi-res recordings of the public performances of “The Meidensha 120th Anniversary | NHKSO Afternoon Classic Series” that are being held in April, May, and June 2017. They will then make these recordings available for on-demand streaming starting on May 19, 2017. This is the first time that performances of the NHKSO—a prominent orchestra in Japan—will be streamed in hi-res audio. IIJ will record three matinee performances at the Muza Kawasaki Symphony Hall in hi-res audio, using DSD 5.6 MHz (*1) and PCM 96 kHz / 24 bit (*2) formats. These recordings will be available for free and on demand as programs on IIJ's hi-res streaming service, PrimeSeat (*3). At the same time, IIJ will stream on-demand videos of the concerts for multiple devices, including PCs and smartphones. High-resolution audio formats—including the popular DSD and PCM systems—faithfully reproduce analog sound without compression, allowing listeners to enjoy the immersive, high-quality acoustic experience of a concert hall right in their homes. After evaluating this project's technological partnership for hi-res audio streaming, IIJ and the NHKSO will consider expanding the number of concerts they stream, to deliver even more NHKSO performances in high-quality audio to customers living room.

  • Vladimir Ashkenazy Conductor/Piano
    Vladimir Ashkenazy Conductor/Piano One of the few artists to combine a successful career as a pianist and conductor, Russian-born Vladimir Ashkenazy inherited his musical gift from both sides of his family; his father David Ashkenazy was a professional light music pianist and his mother Evstolia (née Plotnova) was daughter of a chorus master in the Russian Orthodox church. Ashkenazy first came to prominence on the world stage in the 1955 Chopin Competition in Warsaw and as first prize-winner of the Queen Elisabeth Competition in Brussels in 1956. Since then he has built an extraordinary career, not only as one of the most outstanding pianists of the 20th century, but as an artist whose creative life encompasses a vast range of activities and continues to offer inspiration to music-lovers across the world. Conducting has formed the larger part of Ashkenazy’s activities for more than 35 years. He continues his longstanding relationship with the Philharmonia Orchestra, who appointed him Conductor Laureate in 2000. In addition to his performances with the orchestra in London and around the UK each season, Vladimir Ashkenazy joins the Philharmonia Orchestra on countless tours worldwide. In the past, Ashkenazy and the Philharmonia have developed landmark projects such as Voices of Revolution: Russia 1917, Prokofiev and Shostakovich Under Stalin (a project which he also took to Cologne, New York, Vienna and Moscow) and Rachmaninoff Revisited (which was also presented in Paris). This summer, Vladimir Ashkenazy was named as the very first Conductor Laureate of Sydney Symphony Orchestra. This appointment has been made in recognition of his 50 year association with the Orchestra which began in 1969 and is an honour never before bestowed on any previous Sydney Symphony conductor.

  • A Culture of Recording: Christopher Raeburn and the Decca Record Company
    A Culture of Recording: Christopher Raeburn and the Decca Record Company Sally Elizabeth Drew A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Arts and Humanities Department of Music This work was supported by the Arts & Humanities Research Council September 2018 1 2 Abstract This thesis examines the working culture of the Decca Record Company, and how group interaction and individual agency have made an impact on the production of music recordings. Founded in London in 1929, Decca built a global reputation as a pioneer of sound recording with access to the world’s leading musicians. With its roots in manufacturing and experimental wartime engineering, the company developed a peerless classical music catalogue that showcased technological innovation alongside artistic accomplishment. This investigation focuses specifically on the contribution of the recording producer at Decca in creating this legacy, as can be illustrated by the career of Christopher Raeburn, the company’s most prolific producer and specialist in opera and vocal repertoire. It is the first study to examine Raeburn’s archive, and is supported with unpublished memoirs, private papers and recorded interviews with colleagues, collaborators and artists. Using these sources, the thesis considers the history and functions of the staff producer within Decca’s wider operational structure in parallel with the personal aspirations of the individual in exerting control, choice and authority on the process and product of recording. Having been recruited to Decca by John Culshaw in 1957, Raeburn’s fifty-year career spanned seminal moments of the company’s artistic and commercial lifecycle: from assisting in exploiting the dramatic potential of stereo technology in Culshaw’s Ring during the 1960s to his serving as audio producer for the 1990 The Three Tenors Concert international phenomenon.

The ‘top’ part could be played equally well on the violin, the flute, the oboe or any instrument with a comparable register. Whilst the violin made off with the lion’s share of the nineteenth-century chamber music repertoire, the flute saw its popularity drop off even though it never entirely dis- appeared from the concert hall. In his treatise on instrumentation published in the mid-nineteenth century, Hector Berlioz stressed that the violin could ‘express a vast range of nuances that seem at first sight incompatible.

The political situation during much of the period, however, prevented artists from the former Tsarist empire from enjoying a normal international career.

    LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN 1770–1827 Violin Concerto in D major, Op.61 1 I Allegro ma non troppo 24.20 (Cadenza: Kreisler) 2 II Larghetto 9.01 3 III Rondo: Allegro 10.05 (Cadenza: Kreisler) 43.53 ITZHAK PERLMAN violin Philharmonia Orchestra/Carlo Maria Giulini 2 Itzhak Perlman Photo: © Christian Steiner 3 Beethoven: violin ConCerto A cornerstone of the repertoire, Beethoven’s Violin Concerto in D major, Op.61 is, as far as performers are concerned, the most perfect work of its genre. Neither showy nor demonstrative, it seeks instead to express the noblest aspirations of the human soul. It’s the ideal blueprint, a model of majesty, serenity and grandeur, its beauty never-ending. It’s also the most tranquil and poetic of all violin concertos. The slightest lapse in taste would disfigure it, the slightest hint of ostentation would be an insult. There’s nowhere for a soloist to hide: this is a work that reveals your true nature. If you manage to convey its full nobility, you join the gods on Mount Olympus; if you succeed in making a memorable recording of it, your immortality is more or less guaranteed. Itzhak Perlman is among the very select number to have achieved both. He didn’t rush into recording the noblest works in the repertoire — this concerto and Bach’s Solo Sonatas and Partitas (see volume 41) — being wise enough to wait until he had reached full maturity, in terms of both his intellect and his technical mastery of the instrument. He has recorded the Beethoven twice, and both versions are among the greatest ever set down on disc.
