Chief among them were that magician of the theatre Max Reinhardt, the poet Hugo von Hofmannsthal, the composer Richard Strauss, the stage designer Alfred Roller and the conductor Franz Schalk. Through our Ouverture spirituelle under the sign of Pax — Peace we call back to mind in this anniversary year of 2020 that founding principle of the Festival as a project dedicated to peace.

MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL Recordings of the Year 2017
MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL Recordings Of The Year 2017 This is the fourteenth year that Musicweb International has asked its reviewing team to nominate their recordings of the year. Reviewers are not restricted to discs they had reviewed, but the choices must have been reviewed on MWI in the last 12 months (December 2016-November 2017). The 136 selections have come from 27 members of the team and 68 different labels, the choices reflecting as usual, the great diversity of music and sources. Of the selections, seven have received two nominations: Iván Fischer’s Mahler 3 on Channel Classics Late works by Elliott Carter on Ondine Tommie Haglund’s Cello concerto on BIS Beatrice Rana’s Goldberg Variations on Warner Unreleased recordings by Wanda Luzzato on Rhine Classics Krystian Zimerman’s late Schubert sonatas on Deutsche Grammophon Vaughan Williams London Symphony on Hyperion Two labels – Deutsche Grammophon and Hyperion – gained the most nominations, nine apiece, considerably more than any other label. MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL RECORDING OF THE YEAR In this twelve month period, we published more than 2700 reviews. There is no easy or entirely satisfactory way of choosing one above all others as our Recording of the Year. In some years, there have been significant anniversaries of composers or performers to help guide the selection, but not so in 2017. Johann Sebastian BACH Goldberg Variations - Beatrice Rana (piano) rec. 2016 WARNER CLASSICS 9029588018 In the end, it was the unanimity of the two reviewers who nominated Beatrice Rana’s Goldberg Variations – “easily my individual Record of the Year” and “how is it possible that she can be only 23” – that won the day.

Rhenguldet, Valkyrian, Siegfried Och Ragnarök Ringav Richard Wagner
NIBELUNGENS RING aV Richard Wagner Rhenguldet, ValkyRian, SiegfRied och RagnaRök 1 2 3 Tillbaka på BROTTSPLATSEN Förberedelserna för varje del av denna Ring har börjat på samma halvsunkiga kafé i Wien, Eiles, precis i början av Josefstädter Strasse. Det finns nog en viss vidskepelse i detta och samtidigt är det i konsekvens med verket. Wagner återvänder också till brottsplatsen i sina uvertyrer. Sanningen är nog att jag inte ville vara helt ensam när jag arbetade. Jag ville kunna se människor när jag tittade upp från klaverutdraget. Jag ville kunna höra röster när jag tog av hörlurarna. Det sociala sammanhanget var ett värn mot kompromisslösheten och sjukdomen. Denna monomana besatthet av en undergång som paras med glädje och kärlek, ”Leuchtenden Liebe, lauchender Tod” och ”seliges Granen”. Hela ens intellekt, all moral och etik värjer sig mot verket, men så tränger musiken in i kroppen och spränger den inifrån. Då hjälper inga yttre barrikader. Jag har försökt värja mig mot detta verk med humor, ironi, distans och alla möjliga näbbar och klor. Förgäves! Det här är tortyr på alla plan. Framförallt är det fysisk tortyr eftersom det är extremt kroppslig musik. Wagners musik sjunger man inte. Wagner sänder chockvågor genom en mänsklig kropp. Detta gäller såväl sångare som åhörare och åskådare. För mig ser min egen sjukdomsbild ut på följande sätt. Jag har inte varit förmögen att lyssna till slutet av Götterdämmerung, eftersom jag får svettningar och gråtattacker. Det är löjligt, men så är det. Kroppen vinner över intellektet, och det är för jävligt. Det har varit en tuff långtidsvistelse i Infernos nionde krets och samtidigt fullkomligt underbart.

He was one of the most influential musicians of the last century and inspired an entire generation. An influential teacher, a brilliant conductor, a fine composer and an accomplished pianist – a man who lived five lives and who exuded passion from every pore. In addition to his role as conductor, composer, educator and performing artist, Bernstein was one of the early pioneers in bringing the arts to television. As such, he became one of the most internationally recognized musical personalities in the world. Leonard Bernstein, who died in 1990, would have celebrated his 100th birthday on August 25th 2018. Thanks to the exclusive partnership, Unitel presents today around 200 programmes with and about Leonard Bernstein, among them 27 new episodes of his world famous TV series Young People’s Concerts and the two operas Tristan und Isolde, by Richard Wagner, and A Quiet Place, by Bernstein himself. The range goes from the legendary recordings of Bernstein’s Mahler and Beethoven Cycles to West Side Story – The Making of a Recording and the historic performance of the Ode to Freedom following the fall of the Berlin Wall, from Bernstein’s rehearsals in Salzau to the intimate portraits Larger than Life, Reaching for the Note and The Gift of Music.
