    “I am one of the last of a small tribe of troubadours who still believe that life is a beautiful and exciting journey with a purpose and grace well worth singing about.” E Y Harburg Purpose + Grace started as a list of songs and a list of possible guests. It is a wide mixture of material, from a traditional song I first heard 50 years ago, other songs that have been with me for decades, waiting to be arranged, to new original songs. You stand in a long line when you perform songs like this, you honour the ancestors, but hopefully the songs become, if only briefly your own, or a part of you. To call on my friends and peers to make this recording has been a great pleasure. Turning the two lists into a coherent whole was joyous. On previous recordings I’ve invited guest musicians to play their instruments, here, I asked singers for their unique contributions to these songs. Accompanying song has always been my favourite occupation, so it made perfect sense to have vocal and instrumental collaborations. In 1976 I had just released my first album and had been picked up by a heavy, old school music business manager whose avowed intent was to make me a star. I was not averse to the concept, and went straight from small folk clubs to opening shows for Steeleye Span at the biggest halls in the country. Early the next year June Tabor asked me if I would accompany her on tour. I was ecstatic and duly reported to my manager, who told me I was a star and didn’t play for other people.

  • Folk for Art's Sake: English Folk Music in the Mainstream Milieu
    Volume 4 (2009) ISSN 1751-7788 Folk for Art’s Sake: English Folk Music in the Mainstream Milieu Simon Keegan-Phipps University of Sheffield The English folk arts are currently undergoing a considerable resurgence; 1 practices of folk music, dance and drama that explicitly identify themselves as English are the subjects of increasing public interest throughout England. The past five years have seen a manifold increase in the number of professional musical acts that foreground their Englishness; for the first time since the last 'revival period' of the 1950s and 60s, it is easier for folk music agents to secure bookings for these English acts in England than Scottish and Irish (Celtic) bands. Folk festivals in England are experiencing greatly increased popularity, and the profile of the genre has also grown substantially beyond the boundaries of the conventional 'folk scene' contexts: Seth Lakeman received a Mercury Music Awards nomination in 2006 for his album Kitty Jay; Jim Moray supported Will Young’s 2003 UK tour, and his album Sweet England appeared in the Independent’s ‘Cult Classics’ series in 2007; in 2003, the morris side Dogrose Morris appeared on the popular television music show Later with Jools Holland, accompanied by the high-profile fiddler, Eliza Carthy;1 and all-star festival-headliners Bellowhead appeared on the same show in 2006.2 However, the expansion in the profile and presence of English folk music has 2 not been confined to the realms of vernacular, popular culture: On 20 July 2008, BBC Radio 3 hosted the BBC Proms

  • Joyce Yang Piano Blessed With
    Joyce Yang Piano Blessed with “poetic and sensitive pianism” (Washington Post) and a “wondrous sense of color” (San Francisco Classical Voice), pianist Joyce Yang captivates audiences with her virtuosity, lyricism, and interpretive sensitivity. As a Van Cliburn International Piano Competition silver medalist and Avery Fisher Career Grant recipient, Yang showcases her colorful musical personality in solo recitals and collaborations with the world’s top orchestras and chamber musicians. Yang came to international attention in 2005 when she won the silver medal at the 12th Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. The youngest contestant at 19 years old, she took home two additional awards: the Steven De Groote Memorial Award for Best Performance of Chamber Music (with the Takàcs Quartet) and the Beverley Taylor Smith Award for Best Performance of a New Work. Since her spectacular debut, she has blossomed into an “astonishing artist” (Neue Zürcher Zeitung). She has performed as soloist with the New York Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, the Baltimore, Detroit, Houston, Milwaukee, San Francisco, Sydney, and Toronto symphony orchestras, Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, and the BBC Philharmonic (among many others), working with such distinguished conductors as Edo de Waart, Lorin Maazel, James Conlon, Leonard Slatkin, David Robertson, Bramwell Tovey, Peter Oundjian, and Jaap van Zweden. In recital, Yang has taken the stage at New York’s Lincoln Center and Metropolitan Museum; the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC; Chicago’s Symphony Hall; and Zurich’s Tonhalle. Yang kicks off the 2015/16 season with a tour of eight summer festivals (Aspen, Bridgehampton, Grand Tetons, La Jolla, Ravinia, Seattle, Southeastern Piano Festival, and Bravo! Vail) before commencing a steady stream of debuts, return engagements, and notable chamber music concerts.

  • Modigliani Quartet Philippe Bernhard Violin Loïc Rio Violin Laurent
    Modigliani Quartet Philippe Bernhard violin Loïc Rio violin Laurent Marfaing viola Christophe Morin cello Modigliani Quartet The Modigliani Quartet, formed by four close friends in 2003, has already become one of the world’s top string quartets, playing in venues like the Wigmore Hall, Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw, BOZAR in Brussels, Vienna’s Musikverein and Konzerthaus, Mozarteum Salzburg, Philharmonie Luxembourg, Konzerthaus Berlin, Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, Auditorium du Louvre and Cité de la Musique in Paris, Zurich’s Tonhalle, Prinzregententheater and Herkulessaal in Munich, Hamburg’s Laeiszhalle, and L’Auditori in Barcelona, and appearing at the Lucerne, Schwetzingen and Rheingau Festivals, Kissinger Sommer, Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival, Menuhin Festival Gstaad, and the Schwarzenberg-Hohenems Schubertiade. In North America, the Quartet has performed in Carnegie Hall, the Library of Congress in Washington DC, Seattle’s Meany Hall and the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia, and featured at the Maverick Festival, Houston’s Friends of Chamber Music, the Lanaudière Festival, and the Toronto Summer Music Festival. Next month, the Quartet will play several concerts at Tokyo’s Oji Hall as part of a Japanese tour. The Modigliani Quartet has recorded for the Mirare label since 2008 and has released five award- winning CDs, all receiving international critical acclaim. Their first album, a Haydn disc, was a Strad selection, as was their 2013 album featuring Debussy, Ravel and Saint-Saëns; their Mendelssohn CD in 2010 was a Fono Forum selection (Disc of the Month). In 2012 the Quartet released an album dedicated to youth, with quartets by young Mozart, Schubert and Arriaga. A second Haydn CD, released in 2014, has been praised as a ‘true homage to the clarity and eloquence of Haydn’s work, while at the same time sacrificing none of the master’s roguishness … It sounds effortless, sovereign and extremely supple.’ The Quartet’s most recent album features music by Bartók, Dohnányi and Dvořák.

  • Bellowhead „Burlesque“ (Westpark Music 87132)
    Bellowhead „Burlesque“ (Westpark Music 87132) “Astonishing. I mean, I’ve had a drink but this sounds to me like a landmark ... Bellowhead are taking the music forward with a flair and urgency rarely heard in these parts and I, for one, can’t wait for them to make a proper album.“ COLIN IRWIN – fRoots Magazine And - here it is. ‘Burlesque’ out via Westpark Music. Not so much a Big Band as a small independent country, Bellowhead is an 11 piece busy pushing the boundaries of English roots music into regions where few have previously dared to tread. Bellowhead’s debut gig took place at the first Oxford festival in April 2004, brought together by the acclaimed folk duo John Spiers & Jon Boden. They dreamt up the band while stuck in traffic somewhere on the M25. John & Jon phoned Paul Sartin, Benji Kirkpatrick and Giles Lewin who all agreed to form the core of the new band while the duo were still on said motorway. The idea was to have an English traditional folk band at the heart of the collective, also capable of switching between a big band sound, funk styles, and a string section. The first gig was an instant success de- spite the fact that Bellowhead had only managed to spend one afternoon, in a scout hut, rehearsing. Later that same summer, Bellowhead managed to inspire such enthusiasm, on a balmy night at Sidmouth Festival, that an invigorated crowd broke the dance floor. Interest in the band developed beyond the immediate fringes of the folk scene immediately after the independ- ent release of the ‘E.P.Onymous’, a 5 track demo which was initially produced to send to promoters and sell a few at gigs.

  • Bellowhead „Burlesque“ (Westpark Music 87132)
    Bellowhead „Burlesque“ (Westpark Music 87132) „Erstaunlich! Ich meine, ich hatte einen Drink, aber die Musik klang für mich wie ein Meilenstein … Bellowhead treibt die Musik kräftig voran mit einem feinen Gespür und einer Spannung, die in diesen Teilen der Welt nur selten zu hören sind. Und ich persönlich kann es kaum erwarten, bis die Band ein dementsprechend starkes Album macht.“ COLIN IRWIN, fRoots Magazine Und – hier ist es! „Burlesque“ heißt es und erscheint bei Westpark Music. Die elfköpfige Band Bellowhead klingt weniger nach einer Big Band, sondern viel mehr nach einem kleinen unabhängigen Land, das die Grenzen der englischen Folk-Musik überschreitet und sich mit musikalischen Regionen vereint, an die sich noch kaum ein Brite herangetraut hat. Bellowheads Ursprünge gehen zurück auf den April 2004 zum ersten Oxford-Festival, das von dem bekannten Folk-Duo John Spiers & Jon Boden auf die Beine gestellt wurde. Sie „träumten“ von der Band und stellten sie schon zusammen als sie im Stau irgendwo auf der Autobahn M25 standen. John & Jon telefonierten mit Paul Sartin, Benji Kirkpatrick und Giles Lewin, die alle bereit waren, das Fundament dieser Band zu bilden, während das Duo immer noch auf der erwähnten Autobahn stand. Die Idee war eine, traditionelle englische Folkband zu gründen, die in der Lage war, ohne Pausen zwischen Big Band Sound, Funk und Streicher-Sektionen hin und her zu schalten. Ihr erster Auftritt war ein riesiger Erfolg, wenn man bedenkt, dass Bellowhead nur einen Nachmittag in einer Pfadfinderhütte zum Proben hatte. Später in diesem Sommer schaffte es Bellowhead während einer milden Nacht auf dem Sidmouth Festival einen derartigen Enthusiasmus zu erzeugen, dass eine vollkommen hemmungslose Horde von Menschen die Tanzfläche stürmte.
