Programme information Saturday 28th November to Friday 4th December 2020 WEEK 49 SMOOTH CLASSICS with MARGHERITA TAYLOR Thursday 3rd December, 10pm to 1am Margherita Taylor treats listeners to the most relaxing new releases from the year gone by. Scottish violinist Nicola Benedetti opens the programme with Mascagni’s Cavalleria Rusticana, her first recording with The Benedetti Foundation, released at the very beginning of the year. The first hour also includes the young cellist Sheku Kanneh- Mason’s recording of Elgar’s Cello Concerto, The Sixteen’s latest recording of Allegri’s Miserere and music from Steven Price’s score to David Attenborough’s documentary A Life on our Planet. Siblings Camille and Julie Berthollet feature, as well as new releases from other young classical stars Benjamin Grosvenor, Johan Dalene and Cai Thomas. Live music making has been missed throughout much of this year, so Margherita features a selection of live recordings released in 2020, including Grieg’s Holberg Suite from the Mito Chamber Orchestra under Seiji Ozawa Classic FM is available across the UK on 100-102 FM, DAB digital radio and TV, on Global Player on your smart speaker (“play Classic FM”), iOS or Android device and at ClassicFM.com. 1 WEEK 49 SATURDAY 28TH NOVEMBER 3pm to 5pm: MOIRA STUART’S HALL OF FAME CONCERT Beethoven is the star of this afternoon’s programme, as Moira features the composer’s ‘Emperor’ concerto, which premiered on this day in 1811. Mitsuko Uchida is the soloist in this critically acclaimed recording, joined on stage by the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra under Kurt Sanderling. Elsewhere in the programme, there’s a competition winner by Fauré, a John Williams film favourite, and Mariss Jansons conducts the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Tchaikovsky’s mighty ‘Pathétique’ symphony. Alexander Borodin In the Steppes of Central Asia Valery Gergiev conducts the Kirov Orchestra Gabriel Fauré Cantique de Jean Racine Opus 11 Paavo Järvi conducts the Orchestra and Choir of Paris Ludwig van Beethoven Piano Concerto No.5 in E-flat major Opus 73 (‘Emperor’) Piano: Mitsuko Uchida Kurt Sanderling conducts the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra Ronald Binge Sailing By Ronald Corp conducts the New London Orchestra Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky Symphony No.6 in B minor Opus 74 (‘Pathétique’) Mariss Jansons conducts the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra John Williams E.T – Theme John Williams conducts the London Symphony Orchestra 5pm to 7pm: SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE MOVIES with ANDREW COLLINS Andrew Collins marks several big birthdays today, celebrating films that hit milestones in 2020. Alexandre Desplat's score to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 – which turned 10 this year – is included, as is Mascagni’s Intermezzo from Cavalleria Rusticana, that was used to great effect by Martin Scorsese to soundtrack the black and white boxing drama, Raging Bull, 40 years ago. Andrew also plays scores to Chocolat by Rachel Portman, and Gladiator by Hans Zimmer, which both turned 20 in 2020. 2 SATURDAY 28TH NOVEMBER 7pm to 9pm: COWAN’S CLASSICS WITH ROB COWAN Rob explores Benjamin Britten’s earliest surviving piece of church music with a stunning performance of A Hymn to a Virgin from the choir of St John’s College, Cambridge. Also on the programme, Rob explains the confusion surrounding a violin concerto that, for many years, was believed to have been composed by Mozart, but is now credited to another composer entirely. There’s also Daniel Barenboim performing a collaborative work by Brahms, Schumann and Dietrich: the F.A.E Sonata. 9pm to 10pm: BEETHOVEN: THE MAN REVEALED with JOHN SUCHET (47 / 52) John returns to the saga of Beethoven’s complicated family life tonight, and reveals how Beethoven’s nephew, over whom the composer waged a five year court case to gain custody from the boy’s mother, began to dominate Beethoven’s final years. John explains how the music he was composing at the time, in particular his String Quartet No.15, reflected his mood. John plays a movement he himself describes as “Beethoven’s profoundest expression of the pain of deafness, of isolation, of almost total withdrawal from the world” as Beethoven faces a health crisis he is sure is going to kill him. In this most dramatic period of Beethoven’s life, John also reveals why the composer turned down an invitation to perform his Symphony No.9 for the London Philharmonic Society, and explains how his increasingly-hostile nephew hatched a plan that would remove his uncle from his life for good. 3 SUNDAY 29TH NOVEMBER 3pm to 5pm: JOHN HUMPHRYS John celebrates the anniversary of the first performance of a piece that strikes fear into the heart of even the most skilled musician: Rachmaninov’s Symphony Piano Concerto No.3. Hear a recording of this piece by soloist Vladimir Ashkenazy and the London Symphony Orchestra under André Previn. Another anniversary is marked today; that of the first ever Italian opera to be performed in the United States: The Barber of Seville. Sascha Puttnam’s recent album celebrating iconic film scores, Spirit of Cinema, also features. 5pm to 7pm: DAVID MELLOR The festive season is almost upon us, so tonight David provides some inspiration for potential stocking fillers. He includes his favourite recordings from Aled Jones’ new album Blessings, Joseph Calleja sings a nostalgic song from Magic of Mantovani, his most recent release, plus many more great new discoveries. 7pm to 9pm: SMOOTH CLASSICS AT SEVEN with CHARLOTTE HAWKINS Charlotte presents a selection of laidback music, specially selected to provide a moment of calm and relaxation at the end of the weekend. This week, Charlotte Hawkins' Young Classical Star is the French-German-Swiss cellist Christoph Croisé. He started taking cello lessons at the age of seven, and made his Carnegie Hall debut aged just 17. Now, at 26 years old, Christoph has released four albums, most recently showcasing works by Rachmaninov, Shostakovich and Prokofiev. 9pm to 10pm: MOIRA STUART MEETS… STEPHEN FRY (3 / 6) Moira Stuart continues the second series of her interview programme, Moira Stuart Meets…where she speaks to some of the biggest names in arts and entertainment. During each episode she invites her guest to select the classical music that has played an important part in their life. This evening, Moira meets actor, comedian and writer Stephen Fry, best known for roles in film and television from Gosford Park, to Jeeves and Wooster and QI. He shares the pieces of classical music that mean the most to him, including Bach’s Well Tempered Clavier, Warlock’s Capriol Suite, and Liszt’s reimagining of themes from Verdi’s opera Rigoletto. 4 MONDAY 30TH NOVEMBER 8pm to 10pm: THE CLASSIC FM CONCERT with JOHN SUCHET John marks St Andrew’s Day with a programme of appropriate music, beginning with Hamish MacCunn’s romantic view of the Scottish landscape: The Land of the Mountain and the Flood. Then, music by Bruch, who like many composers was captivated by the sound of Scottish folk music, though he had never visited the place itself. We hear his Scottish Fantasy, performed by Joshua Bell with the Academy of St Martin in the Fields. Elsewhere, there’s music by some of Scotland’s finest musicians, including Nicola Benedetti and Steven Osborne. We then travel out to sea with the music of Peter Maxwell Davies, and the evening ends with Beethoven’s own arrangement of Auld Lang Syne. Hamish MacCunn The Land of the Mountain and the Flood Alexander Gibson conducts the Royal Scottish National Orchestra Traditional ‘My love is like a red, red rose’ Flute: Gareth McLearnon Voces8 Max Bruch Scottish Fantasy Opus 46 Joshua Bell directs the Academy of St Martin in the Fields from the violin Peter Maxwell Davies Farewell to Stromness Piano: Peter Maxwell Davies Malcolm Arnold 4 Scottish Dances Opus 59 Bryden Thomson conducts the Philharmonia Orchestra Antonio Vivaldi Violin Concerto in D major RV.208 Violin: Nicola Benedetti Christian Curnyn conducts the Scottish Chamber Orchestra Franz Schubert Impromptu No.1 in F minor D.935 Piano: Steven Osborne Iain Hamilton Scottish Dances Opus 32 John Wilson conducts the Royal Ballet Sinfonia Continued… 5 MONDAY 30TH NOVEMBER 8pm to 10pm: THE CLASSIC FM CONCERT with JOHN SUCHET Continued… Anon Edinburgh Castle March Iain Sutherland conducts the Glasgow Philharmonic Orchestra Ludwig van Beethoven 22 Scottish Songs: Auld Lang Syne Violin: Alessandro Fagiuoli Cello: Andrea Musto Piano: Jean-Pierre Armengaurd Soprano: Juliette Allen, Dania El Zein and Natalie Perez Tenor: John Bernard, Lukazj Romejko and Vincent Lièvre-Picard Baritone: Jean-François Rouchon 6 TUESDAY 1ST DECEMBER 8pm to 10pm: THE CLASSIC FM CONCERT with JOHN SUCHET John marks the first day of December with a sprinkling of seasonal music. Humperdinck’s charming overture to the festive fairy-tale Hansel & Gretel opens the programme, followed by ‘Winter’ from Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, played by the great specialist of baroque music Rachel Podger. The centrepiece of the evening is Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No.1, one of the composer’s first successful works, nicknamed ‘Winter Daydreams’. We hear it tonight played in full by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra under Michael Tilson Thomas, after András Schiff takes to the stage for a masterful account of Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No.2, in the run-up to Beethoven’s 250th anniversary.

Doctoral Dissertations. 580. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations/580 ABSTRACT The Rise of the Tenor Voice in the Late Eighteenth Century: Mozart’s Opera and Concert Arias Joshua Michael May University of Connecticut, 2014 W. A. Mozart’s opera and concert arias for tenor are among the first music written specifically for this voice type as it is understood today, and they form an essential pillar of the pedagogy and repertoire for the modern tenor voice. Yet while the opera arias have received a great deal of attention from scholars of the vocal literature, the concert arias have been comparatively overlooked; they are neglected also in relation to their counterparts for soprano, about which a great deal has been written. There has been some pedagogical discussion of the tenor concert arias in relation to the correction of vocal faults, but otherwise they have received little scrutiny. This is surprising, not least because in most cases Mozart’s concert arias were composed for singers with whom he also worked in the opera house, and Mozart always paid close attention to the particular capabilities of the musicians for whom he wrote: these arias offer us unusually intimate insights into how a first-rank composer explored and shaped the potential of the newly-emerging voice type of the modern tenor voice.

  • Subtle Semblances of Sorrow: Exploring Music, Emotional Theory, and Methodology

    Subtle Semblances of Sorrow: Exploring Music, Emotional Theory, and Methodology

    Subtle Semblances of Sorrow: Exploring Music, Emotional Theory, and Methodology Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Lindsay Alison Warrenburg, M.A. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2019 Dissertation Committee: Daniel Shanahan, Advisor David Huron Anna Gawboy Dónal O’Mathúna Copyright by Lindsay Alison Warrenburg 2019 2 Abstract Music, perhaps more than any other art form, is able to influence moods and affect behavior. There are limitless accounts of music eliciting feelings of nostalgia, transcendence, and other seemingly ineffable emotions. In the scientific study of music and emotion, however, only five music-induced emotions have been studied in depth: happiness, sadness, fear, anger, and tenderness (Juslin, 2013). Although these emotions are certainly important and can be expressed and elicited through music listening, a pertinent question becomes the following: do these five words accurately capture all affective states related to music? Throughout my dissertation, I argue that in order to better understand emotional responses to musical stimuli, we need to change the way we use emotional terminology and examine emotional behaviors. In the first part of the dissertation (Chapters 1-4), I review how emotional music has been theoretically characterized and which excerpts have been utilized in research. I will show that the field of music and emotion is fraught with conceptual difficulties and that passages of music expressing a single emotion (e.g., sadness) span an unmanageably large area of emotional space. The second part of the dissertation (Chapters 5-8) provides an in-depth analysis of music that has been classified by other researchers as sad.
