    MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL Recordings of the Year 2018 This

    MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL Recordings Of The Year 2018 This is the fifteenth 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 2017-November 2018). The 130 selections have come from 25 members of the team and 70 different labels, the choices reflecting as usual, the great diversity of music and sources - I say that every year, but still the spread of choices surprises and pleases me. Of the selections, 8 have received two nominations: Mahler and Strauss with Sergiu Celibidache on the Munich Phil choral music by Pavel Chesnokov on Reference Recordings Shostakovich symphonies with Andris Nelsons on DG The Gluepot Connection from the Londinium Choir on Somm The John Adams Edition on the Berlin Phil’s own label Historic recordings of Carlo Zecchi on APR Pärt symphonies on ECM works for two pianos by Stravinsky on Hyperion Chandos was this year’s leading label with 11 nominations, significantly more than any other label. MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL RECORDING OF THE YEAR In this twelve month period, we published more than 2400 reviews. There is no easy or entirely satisfactory way of choosing one above all others as our Recording of the Year, but this year the choice was a little easier than usual.

  • The Impact of the Third Reich on Famous Composers by Bwaar Omer

    The Impact of the Third Reich on Famous Composers by Bwaar Omer

    The Impact of the Third Reich on Famous Composers By Bwaar Omer Germany is known as a land of poets and thinkers and has been the origin of many great composers and artists. In the early 1920s, the country was becoming a hub for artists and new music. In the time of the Weimar Republic during the roaring twenties, jazz music was a symbol of the time and it was used to represent the acceptance of the newly introduced cultures. Many conservatives, however, opposed this rise of for- eign culture and new music. Guido Fackler, a German scientist, contends this became a more apparent issue when Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) took power in 1933 and created the Third Reich. The forbidden music during the Third Reich, known as degen- erative music, was deemed to be anti-German and people who listened to it were not considered true Germans by nationalists. A famous composer who was negatively affected by the brand of degenerative music was Kurt Weill (1900-1950). Weill was a Jewish composer and playwright who was using his com- positions and stories in order to expose the Nazi agenda and criticize society for not foreseeing the perils to come (Hinton par. 11). Weill was exiled from Germany when the Nazi party took power and he went to America to continue his career. While Weill was exiled from Germany and lacked power to fight back, the Nazis created propaganda to attack any type of music associated with Jews and blacks. The “Entartete Musik” poster portrays a cartoon of a black individual playing a saxo- phone whose lips have been enlarged in an attempt to make him look more like an animal rather than a human.

    The Analytical Study of Anton Bruckner Symphony NO.8

    Frontiers in Art Research ISSN 2618-1568 Vol. 1, Issue 3: 14-19, DOI: 10.25236/FAR.20190303 The analytical study of Anton Bruckner Symphony NO.8 Lei Dong, Naixin Lu Academy of music, Shandong University of Technology, Zibo 255000, China; *Corresponding Author ABSTRACT.As a representative composer of late romanticism, Bruckner created many classic works in his life. The Eighth Symphony is one of the representative classical works in his later years. In the summer of 1884, Bruckner began to work on The Eighth Symphony, which was completed in the fall of 1887. During the creation of The Eighth Symphony, Bruckner ushered in two major events in his life, namely, The Deum and The Seventh Symphony successfully performed for the first time, and received wide appreciation and spread. All of these helped Bruckner gain a worldwide reputation. In view of the classic of The Eighth Symphony, many composers are studying it carefully. However, there are still many problems troubling researchers in the study, which restrict the development of contemporary music. Based on this, this paper briefly analyzes Bruckner's Symphony NO. 8. KEYWORDS: Theme; Polyphony; Harmony; Music form 1. Introduction As a famous composer in the late period of romanticism, Bruckner often used religious music forms such as Mass in his works[1]. Based on this, he combined with the folk national music and expressed his feelings and beliefs thoroughly. His music works are very poetic and religious, with strong romantic and lyrical characteristics. The Eighth Symphony is full of life philosophy. The classic of it is its ability to tug at the heartstrings, and expressing a strong piety and reverence for religion.

Abstract This thesis uses the 12 waltzes composed by the famous double bass virtuoso, Domenico Dragonetti, as a case study to examine certain key aspects of his playing style. More specifically, this thesis seeks to answer the question: what aspects of Dragonetti’s playing could be deemed virtuosic? I select a number of instances in the waltzes where the demands posed by various passages suggest a specific solution required to execute the passage. I suggest various solutions to these passages that reveal the types of solutions Dragonetti might have employed and help shed light on my initial question. The analysis reveals that Dragonetti might have been an athletic musician who was agile across the fingerboard, and whose bow technique afforded him a large palette of articulations that helped him achieve polyphonic textures on the instrument.
  • February 22 & 23, 2020 Coriolan Overture, Op

    February 22 & 23, 2020 Coriolan Overture, Op

    Happy Birthday, Herr Beethoven – February 22 & 23, 2020 Coriolan Overture, Op. 62 Ludwig van Beethoven 1770-1827 Plutarch, the Ancient Greek historian and biographer, tells the story of the Roman general Coriolanus, who defeated the Volscians in central Italy, southeast of Rome, and captured their city of Corioli in 493 B.C. According to the story, Coriolanus returned victorious to Rome, but soon had to flee the city when charged with tyrannical conduct and opposition to the distribution of grain to the starving plebs. He raised an army of Volscians against his own people but turned back after entreaties of his mother and his wife. The Volscians, however, regarding him as a traitor because of his indecisiveness, put him to death. The inspiration for Beethoven’s Coriolan Overture came neither from Plutarch nor from Shakespeare, who made him the subject of his play Coriolanus, but from a play by Heinrich Joseph von Collin – poet, dramatist and functionary in the Austrian Finance Ministry (Austria’s way of supporting its artists). Von Collin’s play was a philosophical treatise on individual freedom and personal responsibility. It premiered in 1802 to great acclaim, using incidental music derived from Mozart’s opera Idomeneo. Beethoven took just three weeks to compose the Coriolan Overture in January 1807. It was meant to stand on its own as a composition inspired by the play. The Overture was premiered in March at an all-Beethoven concert held in the palace of one of Beethoven’s patrons, Prince Lobkowitz. Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 61 Ludwig van Beethoven 1770-1827 Despite the customary long gestation of his music, when pressed, Beethoven could work fast.

    Capuzzi Concerto Info

    Informal Details about the Double Bass Concerto by G. A. Capuzzi, and its Relationship (or lack thereof) to Domenico Dragonetti © by Joëlle Morton, August 23, 2012 Domenico Dragonetti Born April 7, 1763 in Venice, to parents of limited means (his father was perhaps a musician, but also a gondolier) moved to London in 1794 Died April 16, 1846 in London “Little research has been done on primary material in Venice relating to Dragonetti’s life there. As a result, statements about these years are often unreliable. It was one such misrepresentation…that prompted Francesco Caffi (1778-1874) to write an account of Dragonetti’s life. This biography, dated September 20, 1846 [5 months after Dragonetti’s death], has served as the source for many later statements. Caffi, a magistrate and musicologist, was a fervent admirer of Dragonetti’s musical talent and had known him personally. These facts make his remarks double-edged: on the one hand, he is speaking from personal experience; on the other, this very advantage is weakened by the sentiment that clouds his memory.” Fiona Palmer, Domenico Dragonetti in England (1794-1846): The Career of a Double Bass Virtuoso, p.7-8. Dragonetti’s biography is almost exclusively known from reminiscences authored by his friends: Vincent Novello (London, 1836), Franceso Caffi (1846) and also some details by Carl Ferdinand Pohl (1867). In many instances it is difficult to ascertain the veracity of their statements; the authors did not know Dragonetti well (if at all) in his younger years, and therefore largely rely on what Dragonetti told them about this period.
