11 premieres, Tippett's The Midsummer Marriage, Lutoslawski's Cello Concerto, and much more: the London Philharmonic Orchestra's 2021-22 season
[…] Tetzlaff, Lili Boulanger, Ravel's Piano Concerto for the Left Hand (with Cedric Tiberghian) and Scriabin's Poem of Ecstasy. Other highlights of the season include Mark Elder conducting the delayed UK premiere of James MacMIllan's Christmas Oratorio with Lucy Crowe and Roderick Williams, Vladimir Jurowski conducts the world premiere of the revised version of Brett Dean's Nottuno Inquieto (Rivisitato) along with Shostakovich (with Leonidas Kavakos) and the UK premiere of Helmut Lachenmann's Marche fatale with Mitsuko Ushida in Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 4, Hannu Linttu conducts Brett Dean's Viola Concerto (always an interesting prospect as Dean is a viola player himself) with Lawrence Power, Tan Dun conducts the UK premiere of his Buddha Passion, Klaus Makela conducts the world premiere of Jimmy Lopez' Piano Concerto (with Javier Perianes) plus John Adams, Kaija Saariaho and Richard Strauss, and Colin Currie is the soloist in the world premiere of Danny Elfman's Percussion Concerto.

[…] etc. But connoisseurs of pianism will still be profoundly bothered by his wilful distortion of great musical scores, even as they envy his fantastic mechanism. When I saw that he would play three Mozart sonatas in the First Part, I was flabbergasted, for their musical language didn´t seem to agree with the image I had of Lang Lang; for me Mozart is represented by Ushida, Barenboim, Schiff... I was even more surprised that two of the chosen sonatas are easy ones that I had studied myself. And there´s only one right approach, that of pure Classicism. From the very start matters went stylistically awry, although the fingers always struck the right keys. Some examples: 1) Slow speeds were much slower, fast speeds much faster; 2) Dynamics were exaggerated, extremely delicate "pianissimi" […]

Sometimes one goes out of a concert convinced that the evening was memorable and will hardly be matched during the season. That was my feeling when I went to the so-called Colón Abono Especial and heard what I felt had been the unbeatable combination of the Bavarian Radio Orchestra (BRO) with its Principal Conductor Mariss Jansons and the long-awaited debut in BA of pianist Mitsuko Ushida. You will probably think this rash on my part if you think of the promised Argerich- Barenboim- West Eastern Divan Orchestra in August; let´s wait and see... The BRO, Jansons and Ushida offered three concerts at the Colón in successive days, the first and third for the Mozarteum Argentino, the second for the Abono Especial. One item didn´t change: Beethoven´s Fourth Concerto. Different symphonies occupied the Second Part: Brahms´ […]

Musical Musings - Sitkovetsky Trio
[…] musician and an instrumentalists S: I think both pieces are very well-known. They are both very different, but they are both the absolute peak of the repertoire. I honestly cannot imagine two better pieces of music, for very different reasons I wanted to ask all three of you about the fact that as a trio it’s unusual to have all three members having begun their careers so young. There was a strong piece by Mitsuku Ushida in the papers recently complaining about young people being pushed too hard, too soon, and I wanted to ask all three of you if you see that as an asset, if there were challenges involved? L: Sasha was only eight when he joined (Yehudi Menhuin School), and I was 11 and Quian was nearly 12. Everything about our life was devoted to music, and we did start performing at a very early age I […]
