Graciela Paraskevaídis: Homenaje a Silvestre Revueltas 1 -.::GP-Magma
Graciela Paraskevaídis: Homenaje a Silvestre Revueltas 1 Planos Silvestre Revueltas - pocas veces el nombre y apellido de un artista han sido tan premonitorios como en este caso - es sin duda alguna uno de los creadores más asombrosos y originales del siglo XX. Su México no es sólo el de los mariachis, sones y corridos, sino también el de las calaveras y esqueletos de José Guadalupe Posada, los murales de Diego Rivera, las pinturas de Frida Kahlo, los poetas estridentistas y los trasterrados europeos como Lev Trotski, Tina Modotti, Hanns Eisler, Rodolfo Halffter y Otto Mayer Serra. El momento político de su máxima explosión creativa coincide con el sexenio del gobierno progresista del general Lázaro Cárdenas (1934-1940), impulsor de cambios sociales (la reforma agraria) y culturales (la reforma educativa y el apoyo al cine). Por otro lado, abarca la guerra civil española (que contó a Revueltas como defensor de la República) y el inicio de la segunda guerra mundial. También es el México de su colaboración musical y amistad personal primero y, a partir de 1935, del rompimiento definitivo y la dura confrontación con su coetáneo Carlos Chávez (1899-1978). Tema éste bastante tabú aún hoy en México, la perspectiva histórica ha ido echando luz sobre un enfrentamiento signado sin duda por irreconciliables visiones del mundo. Chávez y Revueltas representaban posicionamientos antagónicos: el pionero Revueltas frente al académico Chávez; el luchador idealista frente al pragmático calculador; el creador apasionado frente al detentador del poder musical en México; el comprometido testigo sonoro de su tiempo y época frente al “músico de hierro” como lo llamara Revueltas 2, primero modernista y luego cultor de un nacionalismo indigenista con tintes neoclásicos europeos, opciones estéticas éstas comparables a algunas del brasileño Heitor Villa-Lobos (1887-1959). -
Shostakovich (1906-1975)
RUSSIAN, SOVIET & POST-SOVIET SYMPHONIES A Discography of CDs and LPs Prepared by Michael Herman Dmitri Shostakovich (1906-1975) Born in St. Petersburg. He entered the Petrograd Conservatory at age 13 and studied piano with Leonid Nikolayev and composition with Maximilian Steinberg. His graduation piece, the Symphony No. 1, gave him immediate fame and from there he went on to become the greatest composer during the Soviet Era of Russian history despite serious problems with the political and cultural authorities. He also concertized as a pianist and taught at the Moscow Conservatory. He was a prolific composer whose compositions covered almost all genres from operas, ballets and film scores to works for solo instruments and voice.

Then, have your Discussion Leader read through the following historical points and share your ideas about the people, the timeframe and the British and Colonial strategies! “Stand firm in your Faith, men of New England” “The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the courage and conduct of this army. Our cruel and unrelenting enemy leaves us only the choice of brave resistance, or the most abject submission. We have, therefore, to resolve to conquer or die.” - George Washington, August 27, 1776 When General Thomas Gage, the British military governor of Boston, sent one thousand troops to arrest Samuel Adams and John Hancock at Lexington in April of 1775, he could not know the serious implications of his actions. Nor could he know how he had helped to set in motion a major rebellion that would shake the very foundations of the mightiest Empire on earth. General Gage was a military man who had been in North America since the 1750s, and had more experience than any other senior British officer. He had fought in the French and Indian War alongside a young George Washington, with whom he still had a friendly relationship. Gage had married an American woman from a prominent New Jersey family, and 10 of their 11 children had been born in the Colonies. -

Youtube's Classical Music Star Valentine Lisitsa Comes To
PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE USE YouTube’s classical music star Valentine Lisitsa comes to Edinburgh’s Usher Hall Sunday Classics: Russian Philharmonic of Novosibirsk 3:00pm, Sunday 12 May 2019 Thomas Sanderling - Conductor Valentina Lisitsa - Piano Rimsky-Korsakov - Capriccio espagnol Rachmaninov - Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini Mussorgsky - Pictures at an Exhibition Images available to download here Powerhouse all-Russian programme including Rachmaninov’s tender take on Paganini YouTube sensation Valentina Lisitsa is nothing less than a modern marvel. A brilliant pianist of the Russian old school who plays with fiery intensity and profound insight, she is also a musical evangelist who has taken classical music to millions through her online videos. Having posted her first video on YouTube in 2007, viewing figures soon exploded and more videos followed. The foundations of a social media-driven career unparalleled in the history of classical music were laid. Her YouTube channel now boasts more than 516,000 subscribers and over 200 million views. No wonder she’s in demand right across the world: her unprecedented global stardom is matched by her breath-taking playing. Lisitsa has long adored the romance and power of Rachmaninov and following her electrifying performance of his Third Piano Concerto at the Usher Hall in 2018, she makes a welcome return with the passionate Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. Niccolò Paganini’s famous piece has been adored and interpreted by many a composer, including Brahms, but it’s Rachmaninov’s take on the classic that sees it as its tenderest, and wittiest. He moulds the main theme into musical styles and interpretations previously unheard, and there is no finer pianist to bring this to the Usher Hall than Valentina Lisitsa. -
