    TCHAIKOVSKY COMPETITION 1982 A DIARY BY PETER DONOHOE1 1 The footnotes in this diary are restrospective notes from 2012 – 30 years later... 08 June 1982 Recital at Charlotte Mason College in Ambleside in the British Lake District Program: Tchaikovsky Sonata 2 in G Major (1st Movement) Tchaikovsky November (from The Seasons) Tippett Sonata 2 Prokofiev Sonata 6 ---- Scriabin Etude Op65/3 Chopin Etude Op10/8 Rachmaninov Etude Tableau Op39/5 E flat Minor Bach Prelude and Fugue Book 2 No. 3 Flierkovsky – Prelude and Fugue in G minor Stravinsky Three Movements from Petrushka A very nice, but knowing guy came up to me after the concert, and said “That was a very unusual program. It is almost as if you are preparing to enter the Tchaikovsky Competition.” I asked him to keep it under his hat – it is never good for people to know in advance of your competition efforts, in case it doesn’t work out. Set off home at 11.00 p.m. The car –a Vauxhall Viva borrowed from my parents-in-law – broke down after about 10 miles of a 120 mile journey to my in-laws on the Wirral. Still in the Lake District countryside. The weather was appallingly wet. I had to get to the Wirral, and then the next morning to Manchester for an early flight to London to connect with the Aeroflot flight to Moscow. 09 June 1982 Thank God for the AA Relay service. They got me to the Wirral in the cab of one of their trucks, with the car on the back.

  • Ivan Fischer Interview: Budapest Festival Orchestra and His Revolutionary Way with Opera the Conductor Is Turning Opera on Its Head with His Bold and Joyous Attitude
    MENU CLASSICAL Ivan Fischer interview: Budapest Festival Orchestra and his revolutionary way with opera The conductor is turning opera on its head with his bold and joyous attitude. And the crowds are loving it Bryan Appleyard ‘There is something about being close to each other’: from left, Yvonne Naef, Sylvia Schwartz, Eva Mei, Laura Polverelli, Ivan Fischer and the BFO in Falstaff JUDIT HORVATH The Sunday Times, November 4 2018, 12:01am Share Save t’s Verdi, an aria from The Sicilian Vespers. The orchestra is playing, the soprano is singing. Then, without warning, all I the players stand up and sing the chorus. The audience gasps. The next night, it’s Verdi’s opera Falsta, and this time the audience just keeps gasping. The characters intertwine and react with the orchestra. They argue with the conductor, who grins and tut-tuts and, when Falsta hits rock bottom, gives him a cloth and a cup of wine. All of which would be amazing enough. But there is also the MENU thrilling fact that Falsta was Verdi’s last opera, and I am watching it in the last building of Andrea Palladio, arguably the greatest and certainly the most influential architect who ever lived. This first Vicenza Opera Festival at the Teatro Olimpico consists of two performances of Falsta and a gala concert. The conductor Ivan Fischer created the shows and brought his Budapest Festival Orchestra, which he set up in 1983 as an annual-festival institution. It became a permanent orchestra in 1992, but he kept the word “festival” in the title.

  • Boris Radulovic´ Curriculum Vitae Biography
    BORIS RADULOVIC´ CURRICULUM VITAE BIOGRAPHY Lauded as the “new star in the celestial canvas of pianists” (General-Anzeiger Bonn), Boris Radulovic has long been keeping the press assured of and the audiences captivated with his exceptional skills and talent. His diligence and aspiration to embody as many facets of life as possible in his music are reflected both within this charismatic artist and the “many and varied hues of his sagacious playing” (Siegerland Rundschau). Born in 1984 in Belgrade, Serbia, Boris had his first encounter with classical music very early on, an experience which immediately fomented the desire in him to pick up the piano. At a mere five years of age he received his first piano lesson at the hands of Smilja Todorovic and some years later at the Josip Slavenski Music School, under the tuition of Prof. Olga Bauer, who, together with her husband Prof. Aleksandar Bauer, played a big role in his artistic development. Thanks both to his high artistic and technical standards, he graduated at the top of his class, with his graduation concert earning him the first prize of the Ivan Petkovic Foundation. In recognition of his cultural and academic performances, the young talent received the Belgrade Angel award, as well as the honorable title of Student of the Generation, granted to him by the heir apparent Aleksandar Karadjordjevic. At the end of 2004, Boris Radulovic began his studies at the Cologne Music Academy under the tutelage of Prof. Dr. h.c. Arbo Valdma, a former student of Bruno Lukk’s, who, in turn, could name Arthur Schnabel and Paul Hindemith among his mentors.

  • Defining Interdisciplinarity and Indentifying Research Directions in Jani Christou’S Strychnine Lady
    DOI: 10.15503/jecs20141-226-241 Expression Defining interdisciplinarity and indentifying Research directions in Jani Christou’s Strychnine lady Maria Yerosimou, PhD Faculty of Music Goldsmiths University of London, Lewisham Way, New Cross, London, UK E mail address: [email protected] Abstract Jani Christou was a major Greek composer, whose unusual, yet promising career was brought to an end after his untimely death in 1970 at the age of 44.

Christou’s posthumous reputation.

Christou brought into conjunction his deep immersion in philosophical and psychological studies, including the ideas of Carl Jung and alchemy, with avant-garde musical and dra- matic materials and means.
