Winter into Spring: Oxford Lieder Festival's Spring weekend concludes
Shostakovich: Four Romances on Poems by Pushkin - Lada Valesova, James Platt - Oxford Lieder Festival (photo taken from live stream) Shostakovich, RVW, Schubert; James Platt, Lada Valesova, James Atkinson, Ailish Tynan, Iain Burnside, Julian Bliss; Oxford Lieder Festival at the Holywell Music Room Reviewed by Robert Hugill on 28 February 2021 The final two concerts of Oxford Lieder Festival's Spring weekend, ranging from Shostakovich and RVW to SchubertSunday's two evening concerts at Oxford Lieder Festival's weekend of song, Winter into Spring (broadcast live from the Holywell Music Room in Oxford), demonstrated the challenges of putting on concerts in the present climate. To add to the unfortunate but not unheard-of problem of a singer being ill, there was the added complication of another singer unable to travel due to the present restrictions. So this meant that both concerts were changed. Not that we noticed from the […]

Louise Kemény, Anna Milder-Hauptmann, Richard Mühlfeld and me - this Sunday at Conway Hall
This Sunday (8 April 2018) I will be giving the pre-concert talk at Conway Hall in advance of a concert where soprano Louise Kemény, clarinetist Max Welford, cellist Brian O'Kane and pianist Will Vann are performing an attractive programme of music ranging from Schubert's Der Hirt auf dem Felsen through Brahms' Clarinet trio to music Zemlinsky and Marx.My pre-concert talk picks up on the strong personalities running through the programme, soprano Anna Milder-Hauptmann, for whom Schubert wrote Der Hirt auf dem Felsen, the clarinettist Richard Mühlfeld whose clarinet playing brought Brahms out of retirement, Johannes Brahms himself who not only wrote four works for Mühlfeld but would be a keen supporter of the young Alexander Zemlinsky.Another character sits in the background, Zemlinsky would be linked to Schoenberg in a number of ways (marital ties as well as compositional links), and Schoenberg's ground-breaking Pierrot Lunaire would have an intriguing pre-figuring in […]

Pierre Boulez Saal opening concert : Schubert Der Hirt auf dem Felsen
The Opening Concert of the Pierre Boulez Saal, Berlin's new hall for chamber recitals. Daniel Barenboim did the honours in the Mozart Piano Quartet KV 493, with his son, Michael, the violinist, beside him. No way would a concert as significant as this have been complete without a star like Barenboim. The invisible star, nonetheless was Pierre Boulez, for whom the hall is named. Fittingly, the concert began and ended with Boulez: Initiale initiating proceedings, with Sur Incises as the grand highlight. Both pieces also demonstrated the acoustic and flexibility of this new hall. It's more than a recital hall, since it can be adapted for larger ensembles and even, potentially, for chamber opera. Seating seems generous, so backstage facilities might also be of the same high standard. Coffin-shaped concert halls are dead. London, wake up! Barenboim will also […]

Replacements at BCMS
Composer Pierre Jalbert The Boston Chamber Music Society’s commissioning program continued with the premiere of a Philippe Jalbert work which was bookended at Sanders on Sunday by old chestnuts from Schubert and Brahms. Schubert’s ever-popular Shepherd on the Rock (Der Hirt auf dem Felsen) for soprano (Lisa Saffer), clarinet (Romie de Guise-Langlois) and piano (Max Levinson, the opener, was a surprise last-minute replacement for Mihae Lee, whom the program insert mysteriously noted, was unable to perform. This song, dating from Schubert’s last year, is dear to clarinetists’ hearts, as it is the only Schubert work where the clarinet is the sole wind instrument. The text, intriguingly, is by not one but two poets, and from three poems: Wilhelm Müller, whose poems underlay both Die schöne Müllerin and Die Winterreise, and Karl August Varnhagen von Ense, who was better known as a biographer than as a poet. The first […]
