[…] Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time and Paganini’s Caprice No. 5. Originally from Bulgaria, Bozhidarov studies at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama. NEWS: 16-year-old Thomas Luke wins Keyboard Final of 2020 BBC Young Musician How to win BBC Young Musician 16-year-old recorder player and Wells Cathedral School student Eliza Haskins returns to the competition, having reached the category finals two years ago.

Santon-Jeffery/Lenormand/Pokupić/Droy/Christoyannis/Teitgen/Le Concert Spirituel/Fasolis (Glossa)Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte was not performed complete in Paris until 1829, 38 years after its first performance. But in 1801, much of the score had been included in Les Mystères d’Isis, an adaptation for the Opéra de Paris by the Bohemian composer and horn player Ludwig Wenzel Lachnith, with a new French text by Étienne Morel de Chédeville.Lachnith and his librettist preserved the general outlines of the scenario that Emanuel Schikaneder devised for Mozart, but they adapted both it and the score to fulfil the expectations of opera audiences in the French capital at that time.

This chorus interruptus literary device caused much hilarity as each new interruption appeared on the projector screen just in time to prevent the expected obscenity. A suite for two musettes (here hurdy-gurdy and violin) by Nicolas Chédeville was interesting, though the constant drone of the hurdy-gurdy gave it a relentless feel; this was leavened by Ellis’s lively percussion. To close, the entire ensemble channeled some lively and engaging odes to drink which thoroughly banished the staid reputation of Johann Schein (one of the three “Sch’s” along with Scheidt and Schütz). The lively finish reminded us that antique composers and their modern day advocates could meet in the barroom and have much […]
