Sergei Rachmaninov: Vocalise – Sophia Bacelar, Daniela Hlinková (HD 4K)
Cuban-Chinese-American cellist Sophia Bacelar and the extraordinary and sensitive Slovak classical pianist Daniela Hlinková perform Sergei Rachmaninov's Vocalise, Op.34 No.14. Recorded live at the Berliner Philharmonie, on January 22, 2017.✻"Vocalise" is a song by Sergei Rachmaninov, composed and published in 1915 as the last of his 14 Songs or 14 Romances, Op.34. Written for high voice (soprano or tenor) with piano accompaniment, it contains no words, but is sung using any one vowel of the singer's choosing.

We’ve made it to the penultimate composer for my Female Fortnight Challenge 2.0 and for this blog I will be talking about the late contemporary composer, Julia Gomelskaya and her work for small orchestra, Memento Vitae. Gomelskaya sadly died in a car accident on December 4, 2016, so this blog is dedicated to her memory. Julia Gomelskaya was born on March 11, 1964 in Ukraine. At a young age she began engaging in music and this carried through to her later years where she began studying composition at the Simpheropol Tchaikovsky Musical College (1983). Also a talented pianist, Gomelskaya studied under Oleksandr Krasotov. After graduating from the Tchaikovsky Musical College, Gomelskaya went on to study composition at the Ukraine Odessa National A.V. Nezhdanova Music Academy (1990). She received a distinction for her degree and she won the first prize at the Ukrainian National Composers’ competition (1993). Gomelskaya also won third […]

Striking Russian opera singer and wife of Mstislav Rostropovich, she was made an 'unperson' during the Soviet eraThe soprano Galina Vishnevskaya, who has died aged 86, coloured her performances of opera, and especially of Russian song, so beautifully that full comprehension was not essential for enjoyment. Of course, once you did understand the words, you realised how much meaning she brought to them.Possessed of a striking physical presence with lustrous dark hair, she was such a natural actor that she became the star of her generation at the Bolshoi opera company in Moscow, forging artistic relationships with the stage director Boris Pokrovsky and the conductor Alexander Melik-Pashaev. And – appropriately for a performer who sang with all the skill of an instrumentalist – for more than half a century she was married to Mstislav Rostropovich, not just a great cellist, but also a considerable conductor and pianist.Their marriage – her […]
