Making music in complex times: conductor Cornelius Meister on his recent concerts in Scotland, his work with the opera in Stuttgart and national differences in performing styles
Cornelius Meister conducting the Royal Scottish National Orchestra in November 2020 This Autumn German conductor Cornelius Meister was due do a recording and a concert with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra (RSNO) at the end of November, and was scheduled to return to the Metropolitan Opera in New York.

Such is the life of an artist in our present times. And whilst our conversation focused on his performances in Scotland, we also touched on the challenges and rewards of running an opera house during the present crisis, the joys of exploring composer's works in complete cycles and the importance of national differences in performing styles. Cornelius is a […]

One-On-One Corona-Concerts Are Now Spreading Through Germany
Last month, a few musicians in Stuttgart began giving intimate-yet-socially-distanced performances — one performer, one listener, a couple of meters of empty space between them — at the city’s currently-unused airport. Now two of the area’s publicly-funded orchestras, the Staatsorchester Stuttgart and the Southwest German Radio Symphony, have taken on the project. “The result has […]

Well, it doesn’t always work that way: for example, back in 2010 the “Regietournee” kicked off with, of all things, Calixto Bieito‘s Entfuhrung, more or less right off the plane, and then, nine days and seven operas later, the predictably dense production by Stefan Herheim of Lulu. Both of these I wish I could see again under less brain-fried conditions. But you see what you can see, and the order is determined by what’s on at what opera house in what city reachable by which train, and mostly you’re […]
