  • Richard Strauss
    RICHARD STRAUSS: The Origin, Dissemination and Reception of his Mozart Renaissance Raymond lIolden I I \,--,~/ PhD Goldsmiths' College University of London 1 Abstract Richard Strauss holds an important place in the history of performance. Of the major musical figures active during the second half of the nineteenth and the first half of the twentieth centuries, his endeavours as a Mozartian are of particular importance. Strauss' special interest in the works of Mozart was seminal to both his performance and compositional aesthetics. As a result of this affinity, Strauss consciously set out to initiate a Mozart renaissance that embodied a precise set of principles and reforms. It was these principles and reforms, described as literalist, rather than those of artists such .as Gustav Mahler, who edited Mozart's works both musically and dramatically, that found further expression in the readings of, amongst others, Otto Klemperer, George Szell, Sir John Pritchard and Wolfgang Sawallisch. It is the aim of this dissertation to investigate Strauss' activities as a Mozartian and to assess his influence on subsequent generations of Mozart conductors. Accordingly, the dissertation is divided into an Introduction, five chapters, a Conclusion and thirteen appendices. These consider both the nature and ramifications of Strauss' reforms and performance aesthetic. Within this framework, the breadth of his renaissance; his choice of edition, cuts and revisions; his use of tempo, as a means of structural delineation; his activities with respect to the

  • What Our Critics Are Listening to EMANUEL AX, YO-YO MA, ITZHAK PERLMAN: MENDELSSOHN PIANO TRIOS
    EMANUEL AX Critical acclaim “Surprisingly, it wasn’t one of the anniversary composers who had the strongest interpretative light shone on him. By some quirk, a string of recitals at the Wigmore Hall all had Franz Schubert’s music at their core. They were all wonderful, but Emanuel Ax’s was the most revealing, as much for its sudden moments of impetuousness as its seasoned wisdom.” Ivan Hewett, December 20, 2011 The Telegraph “Ax displayed a creamy technique, played with a breathtaking case, yet one where each note had meaning and purpose. The cadenza in the first movement was a whole musical story in itself, phrases dissipating slowly into the air, fingers like butterflies kissing the keys and power available when needed. This was a musician of scope and confidence, one who never had to overwhelm the music and Dohnanyi and the PSO wisely complimented his effortless style." Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra/von Dohnanyi, Mozart K466, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, 19 October, 2002 “His greatness, his overwhelming authority as musician, technician and probing intellect emerges quickly as he plays. Within minutes, we are totally captured by his intensity and pianistic achievement.” Los Angeles Recital, Los Angeles Times, February 7 , 2001 “Ax is an extremely satisfying pianist; he is at home in a wide variety of music and his pianism is always thoughtful, lyrical, lustrous.” The Washington Post "The soloist was Emanuel Ax - strong on bravura, ravishing in finesse and flinging himself into the work with glee. There was a liquid purity in the slow unfurling phrases of the slow movement, a real optimistic bounce in the finale." LPO/Eschenbach/Beethoven 5 Guardian, October 24, 1998 "...hearing Ax play on an Erard grand of 1851 was a revelation....
