Just Arrived on the Shelves
“Robert Craft: The Complete Columbia Album Collection,” a handsomely produced set of 44 CDs issued by Sony Classical, includes a 123-page accompanying booklet beginning with my six-page essay, “A Tireless Worker for the Music of Our Time,” along with photographs and a comprehensive listing of performers and recording data. You can get the whole thing HERE for $5.45 per disc. Much of this set brings back to an eager audience a recorded legacy of historic importance. It reissues on remastered CDs what many of us have still treasured in our collections of vinyl LPs for many decades, beginning with the pathbreaking four-LP set of the complete works of Anton Webern, opp. 1-31. Many of these pieces were known for years, but previously unrecorded, and in some cases unpublished in score. The legend is that all of Webern’s works for orchestra, from the Passacaglia, op. 1, through the Six Pieces, op. […]

Machover’s VALIS This Way Comes
[…] own Anne Azéma, joined me in interviewing Tod Machover. Lee Eiseman: Tod, did you write the part of Sophia for our Anne Azéma? Tod Machover: I found the Philip K. Dick novel by chance in a Paris bookstore when searching for a text with a subject related to technology and humanity. VALIS jumped off the shelf, and I got even more than what I bargained for. Anne Azéma: We met at French Cultural Attaché Véronique Marteau’s. And you were already at work on VALIS, because when I came in, and you said, “Sophia!” And I thought—this guy is really a little off. TM: Sophia’s a child who might be an angel, who might be a hologram, who might be real, so it has to be played by a performer who is extraordinary, the being that you’ve been waiting for to provide answers and to provide confidence in yourself as well […]

On DSCH: Igor Levit combines large-scale works by two two highly independent, creative minds, the Russian Dmitri Shostakovich and the Lancastrian-born Scot Ronald Stevenson
On DSCH - Shostakovich, Stevenson; Igor Levit; Sony Classical Reviewed by Robert Hugill on 22 September 2021 Star rating: 5.0 (★★★★) Two highly personal works, Shostakovich's interior monologue and Stevenson's universalist tribute to him brought together to devastating effectPierre Boulez wrote his Second Piano Sonata in 1947-1948, it is a work of fearsome technical demands, but whose violent character write Paul Griffiths says "is not just superficial: it is expressive of a whole aesthetic of annihilation, and in particular of a need to obliterate what had gone before", and this would lead to two of Boulez' key works in the 1950s, Le Marteau sans maitre and Pli selon pli. At the same period Karlheinz Stockhausen was writing his highly complex Klavierstücke and Messiaen his Catalogue d'oiseaux. In a word, European contemporary piano music could be seen as pushing boundaries in all sorts of directions, with a particular emphasis on serialist and post-serialist techniques.But […]
