Music of the Passion of Christ Easter with Naxos Easter with Naxos Music of the Passion of Christ Easter with Naxos Culminating in Easter Day and the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, the Christian festival of Holy Week tells one of the most powerfully dramatic stories of all time. The events of that narrative have been marked in artistic triumphs over the centuries, not least in music which has a treasure trove of works devoted to the sequence of the action. Just as the Easter story moves from darkness to light, so the works describing it represent the full spectrum of genres and resources. In this catalogue, you’ll find masterpieces representative of all musical styles: from Bach’s Passion settings to the Requiems of Mozart, Dvořák and Verdi, plus the more contemporary utterances of works such as Penderecki’s St Luke Passion and Thierry Lancino’s Requiem. Other notable recordings include Randall Thompson’s Requiem, the original version of Rossini’s Stabat Mater, Maximilian Steinberg’s long-lost choral masterpiece Passion Week, and Handel’s popular oratorio Messiah. The catalogue comprises choral works intended both for the church and the concert hall, while not forgetting purely instrumental music, such as Olivier Messiaen’s L’Ascension, Sofia Gubaidulina’s Sieben Worte, and brass septet arrangements of works by Gabrieli, Lassus, Palestrina and Victoria. If you’re unsure where to start, why not try one of the sets of collections that bring together gems from across the centuries, from the 15th-century Eton Choirbook to works by 20th-century composers such as Poulenc, Ireland and Vaughan Williams.

  • Edinburgh International Festival 1962
    WRITING ABOUT SHOSTAKOVICH Edinburgh International Festival 1962 Edinburgh Festival 1962 working cover design ay after day, the small, drab figure in the dark suit hunched forward in the front row of the gallery listening tensely. Sometimes he tapped his fingers nervously against his cheek; occasionally he nodded Dhis head rhythmically in time with the music. In the whole of his productive career, remarked Soviet Composer Dmitry Shostakovich, he had “never heard so many of my works performed in so short a period.” Time Music: The Two Dmitrys; September 14, 1962 In 1962 Shostakovich was invited to attend the Edinburgh Festival, Scotland’s annual arts festival and Europe’s largest and most prestigious. An important precursor to this invitation had been the outstanding British premiere in 1960 of the First Cello Concerto – which to an extent had helped focus the British public’s attention on Shostakovich’s evolving repertoire. Week one of the Festival saw performances of the First, Third and Fifth String Quartets; the Cello Concerto and the song-cycle Satires with Galina Vishnevskaya and Rostropovich. 31 DSCH JOURNAL No. 37 – July 2012 Edinburgh International Festival 1962 Rostropovich and Vishnevskaya in Edinburgh Week two heralded performances of the Preludes & Fugues for Piano, arias from Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk, the Sixth, Eighth and Ninth Symphonies, the Third, Fourth, Seventh and Eighth String Quartets and Shostakovich’s orches- tration of Musorgsky’s Khovanschina. Finally in week three the Fourth, Tenth and Twelfth Symphonies were per- formed along with the Violin Concerto (No. 1), the Suite from Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk, the Three Fantastic Dances, the Cello Sonata and From Jewish Folk Poetry.

Was there a certain modicum of similarity between one and the other and what constituted the difference, apart from the change in personnel in the course of time? The similarity indicating that Byelayev’s circle was a continuation of Balakirev’s circle (in addition to the connecting links, consisted of the advanced ideas, the progressivism, common to the both of them. But Balakirev’s circle corresponded to the period of storm and stress in the evolution of Russian music; Byelayev’s circle represented the period of calm and onward march. Balakirev’s circle was revolutionary; Byelayev’s, on the other hand was progressive.” (Rimsky-Korsakov, My Musical Life, p. 286) “Who had changed, who had advanced – Balakirev or we? We, I suppose. We had grown, had learned, had been educated, had seen, and had heard; Balakirev, on the other hand, had stood stock-still, if, indeed, he had not slid back a trifle.” (Rimsky-Korsakov, My Musical Life, p. 286) By the time Rimsky-Korsakov wrote his “Russian Easter” Overture for Byelayev in 1888, the kuchka group, a group of five St. Petersburg composers which was once considered as “revolutionary” in its aesthetic ideal, was scattered. Musorgsky was no longer among the living, Borodin’s creativity came to a halt with his Prince Igor left unfinished, Cesar Cui no longer counted as a composer. Balakirev, although still a collaborator of Rimsky-Korsakov for their joint duties in the Imperial Court Chapel, was not only socially diverged from his younger colleague for his enmity towards Byelayev, but also had undergone some kind of ideological transformation himself.

It features the last two of his four string quartets, written in 1913–1925 while he was still living in St. Petersburg. Due to the turns and twists of the composer’s life these magnificent 20th-century chamber music opuses were performed extremely rarely after his death, thus the more pleasant discovery awaits all who will listen to these recordings. The Vilnius String Quartet has proceeded with a meaningful initiative to discover and resurrect those pages of Lithuanian quartet music that allow a broader view of Lithuanian music and testify to the internationality of our musical culture and connections with global music communities in momentous moments of the development of both Lithuanian and European music. In early stages of the 20th-century, not only Lithuanian national art, but also the concept of contemporary music and the ideas of international cooperation of musicians were formed on a global scale. Jurgis Karnavičius is a significant figure in Lithuanian music not only as a composer, having produced the first Lithuanian opera of the independence period – Gražina (based on a poem by Adam Mickiewicz) in 1933, but also as a personality, active in the orbit of the international community of contemporary musicians.

  • Goldmark's Wild Amazons Drama and Exoticism in the Penthesilea Overture
    Goldmark’s Wild Amazons Drama and Exoticism in the Penthesilea Overture Jane ROPER Royal College of Music, Prince Consort Road, London E-mail: [email protected] (Received: June 2016; accepted: March 2017) Abstract: Goldmark was the first of several composers to write a work based on Heinrich von Kleist’s controversial play, Penthesilea. Early critical opinion about the overture was divided. Hanslick found it distasteful, whereas others were thrilled by Goldmark’s powerful treatment of the subject. Composed in 1879, during the 1880s Penthesilea became established in orchestral repertoire throughout Europe and Amer- ica. The overture represents the conflict of violence and sexual attraction between the Queen of the Amazons and Achilles. Exoticism in the play is achieved by contrasting brutal violence, irrational behaviour and extreme sensual passion. This is recreated musically by drawing on topics established in opera. Of particular note is the use of dissonance and unexpected modulations, together with extreme rhythmic and dy- namic contrast. A key feature of the music is the interplay between military rhythms representing violence and conflict, and a legato, rocking theme which suggests desire and sensuality. Keywords: Goldmark, Exoticism, Penthesilea Overture The Penthesilea Overture, op. 31, is arguably Carl Goldmark’s most controversial work. Its content is provocative. Consider first of all the subject matter: Goldmark transports us to the battlefield of Troy in the twelfth century BC. Penthesilea, Queen of the Amazons, a terrifying, ferocious warrior tribe of women, gallops onto the scene with her retinue. The Amazons are bloodthirsty and hungry for sex, anticipating the men they will capture to enact their fertility ritual.
