  • Quartetto Dàidalos
    QUARTETTO DÀIDALOS Anna Molinari – violino Tina Vercellino – Violino Lorenzo Lombardo – Viola Lucia Molinari – Violoncello Il Quartetto d'archi Dàidalos nasce a Novara nell'ottobre 2014 dal desiderio di quattro amici di fare musica da camera. Pur formato da giovani strumentisti, il Quartetto Dàidalos ha già al proprio attivo un cospicuo numero di concerti in molte città italiane, tra cui Milano (Casa Verdi, Villa Crespi e Villa Necchi per la Società del Quartetto), Messina (Filarmonica Laudamo), Genova (Associazione Amici di Paganini, Palazzo Rosso), Cremona (Teatro Ponchielli e Auditorium Arvedi), Como (Teatro Sociale) e Novara (Teatro Faraggiana, Auditorium F.lli Olivieri). Nell’estate 2017 è stato quartetto in residence alla 27a edizione del Piedicavallo Festival, suonando in più di una decina di concerti sia come quartetto che in quintetto e sestetto, collaborando con altri musicisti invitati al Festival. Nel 2016 l’ensemble ha ricevuto una borsa di studio dell'Associazione Piero Farulli (“La Pépinière del Quartetto d'Archi”) e nel 2017 una assegnata dalla Gioventù Musicale d’Italia, che ha determinato numerosi concerti premio in città italiane. Nella stagione 2017-2018, il Quartetto Dàidalos si è esibito per prestigiose società ed associazioni concertistiche, tra cui il Paganini Genova Festival, l’Associazione Musica con le Ali, la Società del Quartetto di Milano (Musica nel Tennis), la Società del Quartetto di Bergamo. Ha inoltre avuto il privilegio di suonare in quintetto con Simone Gramaglia (Quartetto di Cremona) ad Helsinki e a giugno 2018 ha tenuto una serie di concerti a San Francisco per le celebrazioni della Festa della Repubblica, in collaborazione con l’Istituto Italiano di Cultura della città statunitense.

It has been accepted for inclusion in All Concert & Recital Programs by an authorized administrator of Digital Commons IC. Since her triumph in the 1985 international Bach piano competition in Toronto, and her subse- quent Bach recording for Deutsche Grammophon, Angela Hewitt has been hailed as "one of the outstanding Bach pianists of our time" (Sunday Times [London], 1997). In 1994 she embarked on a 10-year project to record all the major keyboard works by Bach for the Hyperion label. She has performed throughout North America and Europe, as well as in Japan, Australia, China, Mexico, and the former Soviet Union. Born into a musical family, Hewitt began her piano studies at the age of 3, performing in public at 4 and a year later winning her first scholarship. She also studied violin, recorder, singing, and classical ballet. At 9, she gave her first recital at Toronto's Royal Conservatory of Music, where she studied from 1964 to 1973. Hewitt then studied with French pianist Jean-Paul Sevilla at the University of Ottawa, from which she earned her bachelor of music degree at the age of 18.

    Andrea Lucchesini SCHUBERT • LATE PIANO WORKS VOL. II Franz Schubert Late Piano Works • Vol. II Piano Sonata No. 21 in B-flat major, D. 960 I. Molto moderato 21:54 II. Andante sostenuto 10:38 III. Scherzo. Allegro vivace con delicatezza – Trio 4:11 IV. Allegro, ma non troppo 9:05 Three Piano Pieces, D. 946 I. Allegro assai 14:36 II. Allegretto 13:08 III. Allegro 5:16 “The sad «very last» one” – Schubert’s Sonata in B-flat major “A musician visiting Vienna for the first time may well be amused for a while by the convivial hustle and bustle in the streets, and he will often stop in amazement in front of the tower of St Stephen’s Cathedral; but soon he is reminded of the city’s proximity to a churchyard which is more important to him than anything else the city has to offer, where two of the most magnificent of his fellow artists are laid to rest only a few paces from each other. So, like me, many a young musician may soon have wandered out after the first noisy days to the Währinger Kirchhof, to lay a floral offering on those tombs, even if it were a wild rose bush, as I found planted on Beethoven’s grave. Franz Schubert’s resting place was unadorned.” No more than eleven and ten years respectively had passed since the deaths of Beethoven and Schubert when Robert Schumann visited the Währing cemetery in Vienna. But the traveller from Leipzig did not content himself with merely visiting the graves: Schumann also called on Ferdinand Schubert, who looked after a wealth of unpublished manuscripts by his brother Franz.

  • Symposium Records Cd 1109 Adolf Busch
    SYMPOSIUM RECORDS CD 1109 The Great Violinists – Volume 4 ADOLF BUSCH (1891-1952) This compact disc documents the early instrumental records of the greatest German-born musician of this century. Adolf Busch was a legendary violinist as well as a composer, organiser of chamber orchestras, founder of festivals, talented amateur painter and moving spirit of three ensembles: the Busch Quartet, the Busch Trio and the Busch/Serkin Duo. He was also a great man, who almost alone among German gentile musicians stood out against Hitler. His concerts between the wars inspired a generation of music-lovers and musicians; and his influence continued after his death through the Marlboro Festival in Vermont, which he founded in 1950. His associate and son-in-law, Rudolf Serkin (1903-1991) maintained it until his own death, and it is still going strong. Busch's importance as a fiddler was all the greater, because he was the last glory of the short-lived German school; Georg Kulenkampff predeceased him and Hitler's decade smashed the edifice built up by men like Joseph Joachim and Carl Flesch. Adolf Busch's career was interrupted by two wars; and his decision to boycott his native country in 1933, when he could have stayed and prospered as others did, further fractured the continuity of his life. That one action made him an exile, cost him the precious cultural nourishment of his native land and deprived him of his most devoted audience. Five years later, he renounced all his concerts in Italy in protest at Mussolini's anti-semitic laws.
