    Demystifying Galina Ustvolskaya: Critical Examination and Performance Interpretation. Elena Nalimova 10 October 2012 Submitted in partial requirement for the Degree of PhD in Performance Practice at the Goldsmiths College, University of London 1 Declaration The work presented in this thesis is my own and has not been presented for any other degree. Where the work of others has been utilised this has been indicated and the sources acknowledged. All the translations from Russian are my own, unless indicated otherwise. Elena Nalimova 10 October 2012 2 Note on transliteration and translation The transliteration used in the thesis and bibliography follow the Library of Congress system with a few exceptions such as: endings й, ий, ый are simplified to y; я and ю transliterated as ya/yu; е is е and ё is e; soft sign is '. All quotations from the interviews and Russian publications were translated by the author of the thesis. 3 Abstract This thesis presents a performer’s view of Galina Ustvolskaya and her music with the aim of demystifying her artistic persona. The author examines the creation of ‘Ustvolskaya Myth’ by critically analysing Soviet, Russian and Western literature sources, oral history on the subject and the composer’s personal recollections, and reveals paradoxes and parochial misunderstandings of Ustvolskaya’s personality and the origins of her music. Having examined all the available sources, the author argues that the ‘Ustvolskaya Myth’ was a self-made phenomenon that persisted due to insufficient knowledge on the subject. In support of the argument, the thesis offers a performer’s interpretation of Ustvolskaya as she is revealed in her music.

This is especially true when the performance is done by brilliant musicians. The European Broadcasting Union’s Eurovision Young Musicians is an impressive event, in the best sense of the word. It is not any old talent show, to be quickly forgotten. No, this competition provides a spring- board for talented young solo performers of classical music to enter the international scene. I am delighted that this year’s Eurovision Young Musicians is held in Cologne, a city known for its enthusiastic audienc- es and home to renowned symphony and chamber orches- tras as well as the University of Music and Dance. For one week, musical artists from 14 countries are demon- strating their technical brilliance and artistic flair. And they are well motivated: many international celebrity artists started out at the Eurovision Young Musician, the final in Cologne’s central Roncalliplatz square will be broadcast live to a European audience and the winner will be given the op- portunity to perform with the Vienna Philharmonic. Now, if that is not an incentive, I don’t know what is.

  • Signum Quartett
    Signum Quartet Florian Donderer, violin Annette Walther, violin Xandi van Dijk, viola Thomas Schmitz, violoncello Das Signum Quartett hat durch seine mitreißend lebendigen Interpretationen ein Zeichen in der internationalen Quartettszene gesetzt und sich mit seinen individuellen Programmkonzeptionen als eines der profiliertesten Ensembles seiner Generation etabliert. Intensive Studien mit dem Alban Berg Quartett, dem Artemis Quartett und dem Melos Quartett sowie die Zusammenarbeit mit György Kurtág, Walter Levin, Alfred Brendel, Leon Fleisher und Jörg Widmann prägen die künstlerische Entwicklung des Signum Quartetts, das zahlreiche Preise gewonnen (Deutscher Musikwettbewerb, Premio Paolo Borciani, London International String Quartet Competition) und vielfach Förderung erfahren hat (u.a. BBC New Generation Artists). Konzertauftritte führen das Signum Quartett auf internationale Podien von Madrid und Barcelona bis Basel und Paris, von der Hamburger Laeiszhalle, dem Konzerthaus und der Philharmonie Berlin, dem Gewandhaus Leipzig, der Philharmonie Luxemburg, dem Concertgebouw Amsterdam, dem Konzerthaus Wien, der Wigmore Hall London, der Bostoner Harvard Musical Association bis hin zum Schleswig- Holstein Musik Festival, dem Rheingau Musik Festival, den Schwetzinger Festspielen und den BBC Proms. Die Diskographie des Signum Quartetts belegt seine stilistische Bandbreite: Neben den Großen der Quartettliteratur finden sich hier auch Raritäten wie die Quartette Ludwig Thuilles und eine Einspielung mit Quartettsätzen. Die CD „No. 3“ (Bartók, Berg und Schnittke) erhielt den International Classical Music Awards 2014 als beste Aufnahme in der Kategorie Kammermusik.

  • August 2019 List
    August 2019 Catalogue Issue 40 Prices valid until Friday 27 September 2019 unless stated otherwise 0115 982 7500 The Wiener Staatsoper, celebrating its 150th birthday this year [email protected] Your Account Number: {MM:Account Number} {MM:Postcode} {MM:Address5} {MM:Address4} {MM:Address3} {MM:Address2} {MM:Address1} {MM:Name} 1 Welcome! Dear Customer, DG and Decca have pulled out all the operatic stops this month, with three very special releases featuring some of their best soloists. Mexican tenor Javier Camarena’s ‘Contrabandista’ recital marks the first issue in the ‘Mentored by Bartoli’ series on Decca - a partnership between Decca and the Cecilia Bartoli Music Foundation. Arias by Verdi are the focus of DG’s new recording from Russian bass, Ildar Abdrazakov, conducted by Yannick Nezet-Seguin, who also happens to take the lead in a brand new recording of Die Zauberflote, the sixth in DG’s current series of Mozart operas. It is the latter that we have been particularly taken by, so you will find it as our ‘Disc of the Month’ for August, as well as being at a very special price as part of our new DG & Decca Opera Sale (found on pp.13-18). Another recording which was a strong contender for the ‘Disc of the Month’ position, was Mahan Esfahani’s performance of Bach’s Toccatas on a rather fabulous harpsichord - Hyperion have done a sterling job in capturing Esfahani’s consummate skill in interpreting these works. Other highlights for August include the second instalment in The Illyria Consort’s recordings of sonatas by Carbonelli; hi-fi Holst and Elgar from the Bergen Philharmonic and Andrew Litton on BIS; lesser-known Beethoven from the Helsinki Baroque Orchestra, who provide us with a gripping performance of Beethoven’s complete incidental music to Egmont (Ondine); plus we have Messiaen from Tom Winpenny (Naxos), Handel from the Akademie fur Alte Musik Berlin (Pentatone), and Brahms/Dvorak from Jakub Hrusa and the Bamberger Symphoniker (Tudor), to name but a few.

  • MARCH 2017 Director’S Introduction
    JANUARY – MARCH 2017 Director’s Introduction ©Frances Marshall Photography Receptive to life and death, and aware of the spiritual depths of both, Schubert probed the heart of the human condition in his unsurpassed, and almost certainly unsurpassable, output of 600-plus songs. Wigmore Hall’s Schubert: The Complete Songs series offers audiences the chance to experience the full range of this extraordinary creative achievement as it continues through 2017. Grammy-nominated pianist, bandleader and composer Vijay Iyer starts his Jazz Residency at Wigmore Hall. The American musician, born in 1971 in New York, has been described by Los Angeles Weekly as ‘a boundless and deeply important young star’ and by the Guardian as being ‘at a dizzying pinnacle of contemporary jazz multitasking’, verdicts reinforced by a string of awards and five-star reviews. Patricia Kopatchinskaja, our Artist in Residence, launches her Wigmore Hall series with the first of three concerts crafted to show the versatility, curiosity and wide musical passions of a true pioneer among today’s performers. The Moldovan-Austrian violinist is equally at home with period performance styles as she is when bringing contemporary compositions to life or casting fresh interpretative light on the most familiar of chamber works. Spread over the course of four seasons, Angela Hewitt: The Bach Odyssey gathers momentum with a concert devoted to Bach’s six French Suites. Angela Hewitt’s affinity for Bach flows naturally from Peter Dazeley her strong connection with the composer’s dance rhythms and from Paul Lewis’s pianism, eloquent and fully alive, is the result of a harmonious her exquisite feeling for lyrical phrasing, contrapuntal clarity and marriage between deep thinking about music and unrestrained physical sensitive articulation.

Un festival est par essence éphémère et l'enregistrement reste cette mémoire extraordinaire de moments musicaux exceptionnels. Donner une image durable demeure une idée séduisante d’autant que les labels disparaissent au regard des difficultés de vente et de transformation des supports. C'est pourquoi la collection « Printemps des Arts de Monte-Carlo », en plus d’une diffusion traditionnelle, est également accessible par téléchargement et en streaming sur toutes les plateformes numériques ainsi que sur notre site. Artistes prometteurs ou confirmés interprètent musiques du passé et créations. Une volonté de mémoire qui perdure depuis la création du festival en 1984.
