Woven with the colors and vitality of Winter's end, Schumann sought to cure our longing for a new season.

New York Philharmonic – Esa-Pekka Salonen, conductor; Yuja Wang, piano; Valerie Hartmann-Claverie, ondes Martenot. March 11, 2016.
David Geffen Hall at Lincoln Center. Orchestra Rear (Seat PP107, $32.50.) ProgramTurangalila-symphonie (1946-48, rev. 1990) by Messiaen (1908-92). I skipped this concert when I did our CYO subscription for this season, even though Yuja Wang and Salonen were on the program, as it didn’t make it high enough in the list of concerts I wanted to see. A couple of weeks ago we got an email advertising seats for $29, and since we would be staying in Jersey City this evening, we decided to go for it. Nowadys New York Philharmonic nickels and dimes its customers. Perhaps it is necessary due to financial considerations, but for the two tickets we also had to pay a $7 facility fee, and a $7.5 service fee for the privilege of printing at home (it would be $15 for box office pickup), so the total for the two tickets comes to […]

Hindu Hillbillies ? Messiaen Turangalîla-symphonie, Salonen
Messiaen Turangalîla-Symphonie, with Esa-Pekka Salonen and the Philharmonia, London. A magnificent performance, infused with true insight into the whole trajectory of Messiaen's output. Turangalîla is a strange, exotic beast, quite unlike anything else in the repertoire, confusing and contradicting easy assumptions. Salonen, however, is one of the best Messiaen exponents of our time, and understands the idiom well. This was a performance of great insight. When Turangalîla premiered in 1948, one writer referred to its “fundamental emptiness… appalling melodic tawdriness…..a tune for Dorothy Lamour in a sarong, a dance for Hindu hillbillies”. He had a point. If ever there was music in Technicolor, this is it, complete with cinematic swirls of the ondes martenot. These days, when we hear the ondes martenot, we don’t associate it with cutting-edge Varèse, but with Béla Lugosi. They don’t even make movies […]

Three Choirs Festival Hereford 2015
The full programme for the 2015 Three Choirs Festival, this year at Hereford has been announced. Many juicy nuggets and surprises, reflecting Artistic Director Geraint Bowen's lively approach to this unique and ever-developing Festival. This year, the combined choirs of Hereford, Worcester and Gloucester will be joined for the first time by the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, supplementing now regular visitors like the Philharmonia Orchestra. The OAE will be able to expand the Festival repertoire inimaginative directions. As always, the "big" events in the Cathedral form the foundations of the Three Choirs tradition. This year's first evening concert on Saturday 25th July, features Elgar's Dream of Gerontius, (Please read more here). Sarah Connolly. Peter Auty and Neal Davies, with Geraint Bowen conducting the Philharmonia. I recommend going early to Hereford, to take part in the Opening service (Purcell and Handel), because Three Choirs […]
