Unusual: the 45Th Istanbul Music Festival Bachtrack, İngiltere “Unusual": the 45th Istanbul Music Festival Von Jane Shuttleworth, 01 April 2017 There is no city in the world quite like Istanbul. Its superb geopolitical position, straddling two continents, and guarding the route between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean, has given it a rich and complex history, whose strata are visible in the city’s names, Byzantium, Constantinople and Istanbul; and in its buildings, from Roman ruins, Christian churches, Ottoman palaces and mosques. Now in its 45th year, the Istanbul Music Festival embraces and celebrates this extraordinary city, bringing together Turkey’s musical heritage with music from around the world. This year’s theme seems particularly appropriate to Istanbul: it is, simply “Unusual”. The title reflects not just the city itself, but also the way the festival will present some of its performances, as festival director, Yeşim Gürer Oymak, explained. “Art production and its consumption cannot be independent of the conditions of the digital age we are living in, where we have infinite access to all art forms. We stream music and download concert performances and scores, anything! We have digital halls and opera houses in our living rooms. On the other hand, classical music audience is ageing everywhere in the world. So we have to think in new ways, to attract new audiences Yeşim Gürer Oymak and present them with a new and fresh experience in new © Ali Güler venues. A ‘usual’ presentation of classical music is not enough. We have to think more about interdisciplinary arts forms, to make connections between music, literature and other forms of arts. So we wanted to present a more flexible, varied concert programme with “unusual” connections which are nonetheless in tune with the context”. These interdisciplinary connections can be found across the festival. Pianist Mikhail Rudy illustrates his recital on 31 May with art by Kandinsky and Chagall; Ensemble Soqqadro Italiano presents Vivaldi with visuals on 5 June, and on 20 June the Debussy Quartet teams up with the circus­ballet group Circa Ensemble for a programme of Shostakovich. Making unusual connections within music, David Greilsammer and jazz pianist Yaron Herman lead the Geneva Camerata through an eclectic and exciting encounter between Baroque and jazz on 12 June, which includes Rameau with Herman’s jazz improvisations and his arrangements of Purcell and Marais. The range of venues at the Istanbul Music Festival continues to grow, with concerts in fifteen different locations. Yeşim Gürer Oymak notes that “One of the missions of the Istanbul Music Festival is to attract attention to the cultural heritage of the city. Listening to music in these venues, discovering new historical gems and being lost in time is an ‘unusual experience’ in itself.” Thus, the imaginative Music Route day on Saturday The Grand Bazaar 3 June invites audiences on a walk through the city, following a programme of chamber music around six different historic venues. Looking to the city’s Ottoman heritage there are two concerts in venues that particularly suit the context of the music. The distinguished Şimdi Ensemble perform Sufi music in the heady, spice­laden atmosphere of the Grand Bazaar on 4 June, whilst “Rosery”, a project reflecting the cultural dialogue between the Ottomans and Iran takes place in the Garden of Galata. These unusual performances aside, most of the festival is made up of “western classical” music, offering audiences major international artists and emerging Turkish talent. Matthias Goerne performing Schubert Lieder with Quatuor Ébène stand out as particularly notable visitors. Yeşim Gürer Oymak expressed her pleasure that pianist Fazil Say returns home again, saying “We have a great collaboration with him not only as a performer but also as a composer. We have a mutual trust which leads to create exciting projects together.” Say gives a recital presenting Chopin and Debussy alongside works by Ulvi Cemal Erkin and Ahmet Adnan Saygun, two members of the pioneering “Turkish Five”, on 15 June and plays Mozart’s Piano Concerto no. 12 in A major K.414 with the Vienna Chamber Orchestra to close the Festival on 21 June. The Borusan Istanbul Philharmonic Orchestra is the festival’s resident orchestra: Yeşim Gürer Oymak praises their dynamism and motivation, and the work done by director Sascha Goetzel over the last eight years in shaping their repertoire and identity. They open the festival on 29 May with Balakirev’s East­West fantasy Islamey, followed by Saint­Saëns’ Cello Concerto no. 1 in A minor, played by the winner of the 2015 Tchaikovsky competition, Andrei Ioniță. At the Hagia Eirene, BIFO and Goetzel also give the Eurasian première of Philip Glass’ Symphony no. 11 which was co­commissioned by the Istanbul Music Festival. Yeşim Gürer Oymak explained how the project came about. “We gave this commission in 2014 to Philip Glass as a celebration of his 80th birthday. Two other commissioners, the Bruckner Orchester Linz and the Queensland Symphony Orchestra, joined in this beautiful project as well and this work has really became a gift to Philip Glass for his birthday. Unfortunately I couldn’t attend the première in New York but we heard a lot positive feedback about Hagia Eirene it”. As well as established Turkish artists such as as Say, the festival is looking to the future and since 2012 it has developed a young soloist project to nurture the next generation of Turkish musicians, focussing on a different instrument every year. Yeşim Gürer Oymak explained that this has become a great way to present young soloists to the festival audience as well as bringing them to the attention of the music industry. The musicians themselves are motivated by the challenge and opportunity that appearing in the festival in this way presents to them, and greatly value the experience. Following from the violin, cello, piano, and flute in previous years, this year it’s the turn of the viola, and the winner performs with the Dokuz Eylül University Symphony Orchestra on 17 June. Summing up the Istanbul Music Festival, Yeşim Gürer Oymak told us: “The festival was founded in 1973 as basically a festival for classical western music, and its programme has always been based on this idea, but since its inception we have also included the best examples of Eastern music, and we aim to present more original examples of Ottoman Classical Music at the festival in the future”.

    A Listening Guide for The Indispensable Composers by Anthony Tommasini 1 The Indispensable Composers: A Personal Guide Anthony Tommasini A listening guide INTRODUCTION: The Greatness Complex Bach, Mass in B Minor I: Kyrie I begin the book with my recollection of being about thirteen and putting on a recording of Bach’s Mass in B Minor for the first time. I remember being immediately struck by the austere intensity of the opening choral singing of the word “Kyrie.” But I also remember feeling surprised by a melodic/harmonic shift in the opening moments that didn’t do what I thought it would. I guess I was already a musician wanting to know more, to know why the music was the way it was. Here’s the grave, stirring performance of the Kyrie from the 1952 recording I listened to, with Herbert von Karajan conducting the Vienna Philharmonic. Though, as I grew to realize, it’s a very old-school approach to Bach. Herbert von Karajan, conductor; Vienna Philharmonic (12:17) Today I much prefer more vibrant and transparent accounts, like this great performance from Philippe Herreweghe’s 1996 recording with the chorus and orchestra of the Collegium Vocale, which is almost three minutes shorter. Philippe Herreweghe, conductor; Collegium Vocale Gent (9:29) Grieg, “Shepherd Boy” Arthur Rubinstein, piano Album: “Rubinstein Plays Grieg” (3:26) As a child I loved “Rubinstein Plays Grieg,” an album featuring the great pianist Arthur Rubinstein playing piano works by Grieg, including several selections from the composer’s volumes of short, imaginative “Lyrical Pieces.” My favorite was “The Shepherd Boy,” a wistful piece with an intense middle section.

  • BIOGRAPHY AVI AVITAL, Mandoline
    BIOGRAPHY AVI AVITAL, mandoline “Everything you never dreamt a mandolin could do… truly breathtaking in virtuosity and dedication.” Haaretz Daily The first mandolin soloist to be nominated for a classical Grammy, Avi Avital is one of the foremost ambassadors for his instrument. Passionate and “explosively charismatic” (New York Times) in live performance, he is a driving force behind the reinviGoration of the mandolin repertory. More than 90 contemporary compositions, 15 of them concertos, have been written for him, while his inspired re-imaGininGs of music for other instruments include the arrangements heard on his 2014 recording Between Worlds. Enhanced by his infectious spirit of adventure and the warm rapport he fosters with his audience, Avital’s championship of his instrument is taking the mandolin centre staGe. “The exciting part of being a classical mandolin player,” he says, “is that it opens a wide field for creative freedom. When I commission new pieces and engage with different musical styles, I feel that I am bringing to light new faces of this unique instrument, uncovering what is hiding there.” An exclusive Deutsche Grammophon artist, he has made four recordings for the label including his ECHO Klassik Award-winninG Vivaldi (2015). Recently released Avital meets Avital (2017) with oud/bassist, Omer Avital, explores their shared cultural heritage and brings their differing classical and jazz musical backgrounds into dialogue. Earlier releases featured his own Bach concerto transcriptions (2012) and Between Worlds (2014), a cross-generic chamber collection exploring the nexus between classical and traditional music. He has also recorded for Naxos and SONY Classical winninG a first ECHO Klassik Award for his 2008 collaboration with the David Orlowsky Trio.

  • September 2016 – July 2017
    SEPTEMBER 2016 –JULY 2017 Director’s Introduction Frances Marshall Photography One of Britain’s foremost singers, Sarah Connolly, opens the Hall’s new season with regular duo partner Malcolm Martineau, leading listeners through a programme rich in emotional contrasts, poetic reflections and glorious melodies. The recital includes Mahler’s sublime Rückert Lieder, the impassioned lyricism of Berlioz’s Les nuits d’été, the exotic subtle narrative impressions of Debussy’s three Chansons de Bilitis, and a selection of Schumann songs. Mark Padmore’s vocal artistry and ability to extract every drop of emotion from poetic texts have secured his place among today’s finest recitalists. Morgan Szymanski, described by Classical Guitar magazine as ‘a player destined for future glories’ joins him on 12 September. Critical acclaim for Angela Hewitt’s Bach interpretations bears witness to the pianist’s extraordinary ability to connect physically and emotionally as well as intellectually with the dance rhythms and expressive gestures of the composer’s keyboard works. The Bach Odyssey will highlight all of this over the next four years. Canadian soprano Barbara Hannigan performs like a force of nature, captivating audiences with her artistry’s presence and expressive vitality. She joins the Calder Quartet, winner of the 2014 Avery Fisher Career Grant, for the world première of The sirens cycle by Peter Eötvös. Beethoven’s piano sonatas occupied forty years of his life. They offer insights into his development as artist and individual, and stand among the greatest of all his works. Igor Levit, now in his late 20s, drew critical superlatives to his debut recording of Beethoven’s late sonatas and has since established his reputation as a visionary interpreter of the composer’s music.

He mixes baroque and contemporary side by side such as scheduling Scarlatti and Cage on the same program or perf orming in unusual places like the Geneva Airport or the Geneva’s “Usine” (which normally hosts Rock and Electronic music events). His latest and boldest initiative has been to secure support f or the Geneva Camerata, a new ensemble where he has selected each player with the goal of broadening and mixing repertories and styles.
