W E I G O L D & Ö H Jean Rondeau M
W E I G O L D & B Ö H Jean Rondeau M Harpsichord International Artists & Tours Described as “one of the most natural performers one is likely to hear on a classical music stage” by the Washington Post, Jean Rondeau is a veritable global ambassador for his instrument. His outstanding talent and innovative approach to keyboard repertoire have been critically acclaimed, marking him out as one of today’s leading harpsichordists. Following a year that saw his debut with the Orchestre de Paris performing Poulenc’s Concerto Champêtre, Rondeau’s 2021/22 season includes concerto engagements with the Orchestre de Chambre de Genève, a concert tour with the Freiburger Barockorchester, and a CPE Bach tour with the Kammerorchester Basel with Rondeau play-conducting from the harpsichord. In the realm of chamber music, Rondeau shares the stage with Nicolas Alstaedt at the Berlin Staatsoper and re-reunites with his fellow co-founders of the Nevermind Quartet for recording projects and performances in Madrid, Dortmund and la Chaux-de-Fonds. He also joins long-time collaborator Thomas Dunford for a tour of Japan following recent appearances at the Stockholm Early Music Festival, the Festival Concentus Moraviae, the Ribeira Sacra Guitar Festival, the Haapsalu Festival and the Hindsgavl Festival last summer. A notable highlight throughout the year is Rondeau’s tour of major European venues performing Bach’s Goldberg Variations – a project long in the making; emphasising sustainability with a “green itinerary” to highlight his environmental commitments, it includes visits to the Berlin Philharmonie, the Frankfurt Opera House, Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw, the Liszt Academy in Budapest, Geneva’s Victoria Hall, the Philharmonie de Paris, and London’s Wigmore Hall. -

Dear Customer, Glorious sunshine and summer temperatures prevail as this foreword is being written, but we suspect it will all be over by the time you are reading it! On the plus side, at least that means we might be able to tempt you into investing in a little more listening material before the outside weather arrives for real… We were pleasantly surprised by the number of new releases appearing late April and into May, as you may be able to tell by the slightly-longer-than-usual new release portion of this catalogue. Warner & Erato certainly have plenty to offer us, taking up a page and half of the ‘priorities’ with new recordings from Nigel Kennedy, Philippe Jaroussky, Emmanuel Pahud, David Aaron Carpenter and others, alongside some superbly compiled boxsets including a Massenet Opera Collection, performances from Joseph Keilberth (in the ICON series), and two interesting looking Debussy collections: ‘Centenary Discoveries’ and ‘His First Performers’. Rachel Podger revisits Vivaldi’s Four Seasons for Channel Classics (already garnering strong reviews), Hyperion offer us five new titles including Schubert from Marc-Andre Hamelin and Berlioz from Lawrence Power and Andrew Manze (see ‘Disc of the Month’ below), plus we have strong releases from Sandrine Piau (Alpha), the Belcea Quartet joined by Piotr Anderszewski (also Alpha), Magdalena Kozena (Supraphon), Osmo Vanska (BIS), Boris Giltberg (Naxos) and Paul McCreesh (Signum). -

A thesis submitted to the University of New South Wales in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy 2012 http://doi.org/10.4225/53/58bca28d2a79a THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Bangert First name: Daniel Other name/s: Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: Arts and Media Faculty: Arts and Social Sciences Title: Doing without thinking? Processes of decision-making in period instrument performance Abstract 350 words maximum: The performance of a musical work involves making many decisions about the notated score. This study explores the nature and role of intuitive and deliberate processes of musical decision-making in period instrument performance of solo Baroque string music. This research uses dual process theories of cognition as a conceptual framework to examine issues of Baroque performance practice and interpretation. A threefold approach to data collection was employed. In the first study, semi-structured interviews were conducted with leading Baroque violinists and cellists, focusing on the solo works of J.S. Bach. A high proportion of deliberate decision-making was found (60% overall) although this varied considerably between individuals. Performers described their interpretation of these pieces as being influenced by various factors and provided insights into how elements of the interpretative process such as intuition are experienced and defined. The participants in the second study were Baroque violinists of varying levels of expertise who were asked to sight-read, practise and perform a short piece of unfamiliar solo Baroque violin music. -

Forum Alte Musik Köln Christophe Coin Davit Melkonyan
SONNTAG 11. OKTOBBER 2020 ST. URSULA FORUM ALTE MUSIK KÖLN SONNTAGSKONZERTE 17H m+k e.V. CHRISTOPHE COIN DAVIT MELKONYAN VIOLONCELLO „EUROPA-REISE MIT CELLO“ AUS DEM CONSERVATOIRE IN DIE WELT Ein Jahrhundert lang schon galt die Violine als das Instrument der Wahl für die Dar- stellung expressiver Melodien, rasanter Läufe und bizarrster Sprünge, da kam auch das Violoncello endlich zu Solo-Ehren. Zunächst waren es italienische Ausnahme- Musiker, die das virtuose Solospiel auf dem Violoncello um 1700 auch im Norden Euro- pas bekanntmachten. Im Laufe der nächsten Jahrzehnte übernahm da aber Frank- reich die Führung, das Land, in dem bislang die aristokratische Viola da gamba den Ton angegeben hatte. So mancher hervorragende Gambenspieler wechselte damals aufs Cello. Auf Verbindungen nach Frankreich – jetzt in die Klassen des nachrevolutionären Pariser Conservatoire – stoßen wir auch, wenn wir uns auf die Duo- und Solokom- positionen herausragender Cello-Virtuosen des 19. Jahrhunderts einlassen, die uns heute durch verschiedene europäische Musiklandschaften führen. Wir beginnen „vor der Haustür“. Bernhard Romberg, ge- boren in Dinklage, darf als eine der prägenden Gestalten unter den Cellisten dieser Zeit gelten. Er war ein Jugend- freund Ludwig van Beethovens – gemeinsam spielten sie in der kurkölnischen Hofkapelle in Bonn. Dann aber ent- wickelte sich Romberg zu einem der ersten reisenden Cello- virtuosen; seine Konzerttourneen führten ihn von Lissabon bis St. Petersburg und Moskau. Romberg unterrichtete von 1801 bis 1803 am Pariser Konservatorium und beeinflusste so die französische Celloschule. Vor allem aber war die deutsche Cellotradition durch ihn bestimmt: Er entwickel- te die Spieltechnik weiter und richtete das Instrument ent- sprechend ein. In seiner Violoncell-Schule, die 1839/40 er- schien, veranschaulicht er die Modifikationen an seinem Instrument in einer maßstabs- getreuen Zeichnung.
