Both schemes allow composers to interact with the orchestra and come together with their peers for discussion, workshops and performance. Eight composers, Hugo Bell, Jamie Elless, Pia Rose Scattergood, Pete Walton, Elliott Park, Darius Paymai, Rachael Gibson and John Rivero-Pico joined Britten Sinfonia's Opus 1 scheme this Summer, where they workshopped and discussed their music with Britten Sinfonia musicians, programme directors Joe Cutler and Dobrinka Tabakova and each other. The scheme culminated with members of Britten Sinfonia recording a piece of music by each composer, providing a valuable practical addition to their musical portfolios. To continue this network of […]

Flame war
[…] rhythmically alert and dramatically responsive. He’s certainly game for whatever the director throws at him and moves easily on stage even down to his knees. If my review of his performance is starting to sound more like a geriatric diagnosis he’s not singing from his hospital bed just yet but, at this point, it is the remains of a great voice. Then in the dark we hear the dulcet off-stage serenade of Uruguayan Tenor Gaston Rivero as Manrico and he arrives looking almost exactly like Edward Scissorhands minus the shears and it’s equal parts charming and sad. It’s not that he’s a full head shorter than Ms. Netrebko that’s bothersome because he isn’t (only half a head and she knows how to do the famed “Soprano Slouch.”) He is, however, a full head shorter than Mr. Domingo and also a few decades younger and the plot, if you’re familiar with […]

Anna Netrebko.
Verdi: Il Trovatore. Performed by Anna Netrebko (Leonora), Gaston Rivero (Manrico), Plácido Domingo (Il Conte di Luna) & Marina Prudenskaya (Azucena), with the Staatskapelle Berlin , Daniel Barenboim conducting, to be released later this month (August, 2014). Filmed live in Berlin, Anna Netrebko and Plácido Domingo star in one of Verdi’s greatest operas, under the baton of Daniel Barenboim. Il Trovatore is one of Verdi’s most dramatic masterpieces – as well as one of his most melodic and including the irresistible ‘Anvil Chorus ’ and the tenor showstopper ‘Di quella pira’. Anna Netrebko makes her debut as Leonora, triumphing in a uniquely demanding role for a Verdi soprano and one she will sing again at the 2014 Salzburg Festival. Adored for his legendary performances in the title role, Plácido Domingo here sings the baritone role of the troubador’s arch-rival, the aristocratic Count di Luna. The roles of the troubadour […]
