MARCH, 2006 Second Presbyterian Church, Roanoke THE DIAPASON MARCH, 2006 Second Presbyterian Church, Roanoke, Virginia Cover feature on page 27 Organ Combination Duos Oct/Nov 2006 & February 2007 Organized Rhythm Clive Driskill-Smith, organist Joseph Gramley, multi-percussionist Percussion and organ, a somewhat surprising combination with a surprisingly pleasing sound, now has its own duo of performers. “Not only an exciting two-hour musical adventure, but also a startlingly clear insight for me into what makes a live performance good, and why good live performances are important for us....passion, technical mastery, and precision...two young musicians doing what they clearly love—making music, not just for themselves, but for us as well.” (The Granite State News, Wolfeboro NH) November 2006 Paulsson & Canning soprano saxophone & organ duo, Sweden “World class musicians...roaring applause and standing ovations.” (Skövde Nyheter, Sweden) “One of the greatest musical experiences I have ever had.” (Nynäshamnsposten, Sweden) “The performance was superb, with a beautiful combination of distinctive organ playing and Paulsson’s supple, exquisitely pure saxophone tone.” (Upsala Nya Tidning, Sweden) “Paulsson’s Bach playing was like a miracle. The audience went wild.” (Vakka-Suomen Sanomat, Finland) Anthony & Beard trumpet & organ duo “There must be other trumpeters in this world as fine as Ryan Anthony, but you’d never think so while listening to him play.” (Fanfare) “Dashing...stole the show with obvious enjoyment of music-making and by his personification of the [Canadian Brass’] relaxed audience rapport.” (Daily Camera, Boulder CO) “Young trumpeter added both flash and class to the [Canadian Brass] ensemble. Ryan Anthony played with big-city charisma.” (The Gazette, Montreal Quebec) “A dazzling performance by Ryan Anthony” (The Plain Dealer, Cleveland) April 2007 Gough Duo violin & organ duo, England “The playing is spectacular, the music is wonderful, and the ensemble between violin and organ is superb.” (American Record Guide) “The playing from both is very fine throughout, with a warmth of sound from the violin, and some considerable virtuosity on display.” (Organists’ Review, England) “Sheer joy and pleasure...delightful and satisfying from all angles.” (Paul L. Reynolds, St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, Chattanooga, Tennessee, presenter) “Each the master of their own instruments, they play exquisitely together as an ensemble. They held the audience spellbound.” (Dan Schmal, Wisconsin Lutheran College, Milwaukee, presenter) Bushnell Tower Suite R, 1 Gold Street, Hartford CT 06103-2914 toll-free (888) 999-0644 • fax (860) 560-7788 [email protected] concertartists.com THE DIAPASON Here & There A Scranton Gillette Publication Ninety-seventh Year: No. 3, Whole No. 1156 MARCH, 2006 Established in 1909 ISSN 0012-2378 UCLA Live presents “Royce Hall series: March 12, Carol Weitner; May Organ & Film,” featuring UCLA organ- 21, third annual hymn festival with R.

  • Vilnius Drawing School 1866–1915
    VILNIUS DRAWING SCHOOL 1866–1915 Summary Académie de Vilna... The title of the mystical Academy of Vilnius appears in numerous books and articles presenting creative biographies of the Litvak artists of the Paris school. The legend of the Academy was undoubtedly created by the artists themselves, which shows the high esteem enjoyed by their firstalma mater. “Montparnasse, the capital of Lithuanian art” – this is the title of the memoirs about painter Michel Kikoïne by Arbit Blatas, a Lithuanian expatriate, which refers to the entire conglomerate of Litvaks who had settled in Montparnasse. This was the beginning of L’École de Paris. “At the beginning of this story was Lithuania. It is impossible to forget its landscapes, its light, and its surroundings, which along with all their rituals perfused Kikoine, just like all of us, Slavic artists (i.e. artists who had come from the then-territory of the Russian Empire – J. Š.)”, Arbit Blatas wrote. “Lithuania, which is so far away, gave many artists a possibility to realize their talent, be it patriots of Russia, such as Levitan <...>, or France, to whom Paris was the Mecca of painting”. So, what was this Academy of Vilnius, which nurtured so many remarkable artists? This question is still bothering a great number of researchers ofL’École de Paris, let alone society at large. Specialists know the answer – it is the largely forgotten Vilnius Drawing School, which was founded by officials of tsarist Russia at the end of 1866. It operated up until the beginning of World War I, and in 1915, its entire inventory was evacuated to the depths of Russia, to Samara.

  • Musica Da André Campra, I Quali Ebbero Un Discreto Successo
    DAFNI E CLOE(balletto) Daphnis et Chloé è un balletto moderno, in un unico atto in tre parti, prodotto tra il 1909 e il 1912 per la compagnia Balletti russi di Sergej Pavlovi č Djagilev, con la coreografia di Michel Fokine e musiche, per orchestra e coro, di Maurice Ravel. Ravel iniziò a comporne il tema musicale nel 1909 su commissione di Diaghilev. La prima, eseguita dai Balletti Russi, si tenne al Théâtre du Châtelet di Parigi, l'8 giugno 1912 per la coreografia di Michel Fokine (come per quasi tutte le rappresentazioni della compagnia russa antecedenti al 1912) e la direzione d'orchestra di Pierre Monteux. Le pregevoli scenografie originali erano opera di Léon Bakst e il primo ballerino, nel ruolo di Dafni, era Vaclav Fomi č Nižinskij. Fokine adattò, come soggetto, Le avventure pastorali di Dafni e Cloe , il romanzo greco di Longo Sofista (II-III secolo), incentrato sull'amore bucolico e sensuale che sboccia tra il capraio Dafni e la pecoraia Cloe. I due ragazzi sono praticamente cresciuti assieme, allevati l'uno da Lamone e l'altra da Driante, due pastori che li avevano ritrovati entrambi neonati, abbandonati, a distanza di due anni, nella stessa boscaglia. Dopo diversi intrecci avventurosi, che vedono Cloe rapita dai pirati e la scoperta della vera identità dei genitori, l'opera si conclude con il matrimonio dei due amanti. Nel balletto viene mantenuta l'atmosfera pastorale e vivace del romanzo, in contraddizione con il progetto iniziale che prevedeva una impaginazione musicale antichizzante che avrebbe tuttavia contrastato con la coreografia.
