BRITISH and COMMONWEALTH CONCERTOS from the NINETEENTH CENTURY to the PRESENT Sir Edward Elgar
BRITISH AND COMMONWEALTH CONCERTOS FROM THE NINETEENTH CENTURY TO THE PRESENT A Discography of CDs & LPs Prepared by Michael Herman Sir Edward Elgar (1857-1934) Born in Broadheath, Worcestershire, Elgar was the son of a music shop owner and received only private musical instruction. Despite this he is arguably England’s greatest composer some of whose orchestral music has traveled around the world more than any of his compatriots. In addition to the Conceros, his 3 Symphonies and Enigma Variations are his other orchestral masterpieces. His many other works for orchestra, including the Pomp and Circumstance Marches, Falstaff and Cockaigne Overture have been recorded numerous times. He was appointed Master of the King’s Musick in 1924.

Preconcert Enlightenment
News By Robert Moon 08/08/06 Preconcert Enlightenment Google the phrase preconcert lectures, and 131,000 articles appear, describing the myriad of musical organizations — mostly classical — that hire speakers to precede performances. The last few years have seen a proliferation of these learned attempts to inform and educate concertgoers about the music they are set to hear. The San Francisco Opera offered more than 30 lectures, seminars, films, and exhibitions last year before the world premiere of John Adam's opera Dr. Atomic. San Francisco Performances was one of two U.S. venues that offered Midori's daylong contemporary music workshop that previewed her concert, given here in April. San Francisco Performance's Bob Greenberg regularly speaks about music, live and on CD; and the San Francisco Symphony employs a variety of experts to talk before sub- scription concerts. What difference do these preperformance events make to the concert- goer? Music@Menlo, the world-class chamber music festival currently under way at Menlo School on the Peninsula, operates on the assumption that they can make a huge difference. By showcasing its educational component, the festival gives concertgoers the opportuni- ty to immerse themselves for three weeks in this year's theme, "Returning to Mozart." The result is a superb example of the current trend, one that is conceptually innovative and fascinating in its details. Perhaps its most important quality is the way the presenters connect with their audience through humor and a passion for the music. These are not mere demonstrations of ego, but rather displays of reverence. The festival offers listeners two distinct ways to broaden the context of concerts.

I Will Not Remain Silent: New Milken Archive of Jewish Music Album by Composer Bruce Adolphe Speaks to Past, Present, Future
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: [email protected] January 19, 2021 (310) 570-4770 I Will Not Remain Silent: New Milken Archive of Jewish Music Album By Composer Bruce Adolphe Speaks to Past, Present, Future “The most urgent, the most disgraceful, the most shameful and the most tragic problem is silence.”—Rabbi Joaquim Prinz, 1963 With themes central to our times, the Milken Archive of Jewish Music: The American Experience is releasing its first new album since 2015 with I Will Not Remain Silent, by prominent American composer Bruce Adolphe. Featuring two compositions, the album explores themes of social justice through the prism of 20th-century activist Rabbi Joachim Prinz. Born in 1902, Prinz spoke out against the rise of anti-Semitism as a rabbi in Germany in the 1920s and 30s and became a prominent voice of the American Civil Rights Movement. Though not as well-known today, Prinz's public profile was such that he preceded Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. at the 1963 March on Washington, where King gave his famous “I Have a Dream” speech. Prinz used this highly visible, national platform to stress the importance of speaking out against hatred and bigotry, and to emphasize the dangers of silence. “When I was the rabbi of the Jewish community in Berlin under the Hitler regime, I learned many things,” Prinz told the crowd assembled that day in 1963. “The most important thing that I learned under those tragic circumstances was that bigotry and hatred are not the most urgent problem. The most urgent, the most disgraceful, the most shameful and the most tragic problem is silence.” In focusing on silence as the most important problem of the American Civil Rights Movement, Prinz emphasized the responsibility that those not affected by racism and inequality have in creating a more just and equal society.
