Memento mori

Tonight, the Elias Quartet will perform two of Schubert's most melancholic works at Wigmore Hall, the 'Rosamunde' Quartet and the String Quintet. Both pieces, while written at the height of the composer's creative powers (the quartet in the spring of 1824, the quintet in the autumn of 1828), cannot hide a profound sense of unease with the world. Balancing attack with resignation is absolutely key to...

The Peabody Symphony Orchestra was scheduled to perform a program of Mahler, Schwantner and more Saturday night. That event, like so many others, has now been canceled in anticipation of the meteorological horror due any minute now. However, there's a...

Grammy, what big ears you have

Two years ago, I wrote an article on how irrelevant the Grammy Awards are to classical music (you could think of it as a companion piece to the article I did this past weekend on classical music and the Billboard charts). So it is no surprise that the winners of the Grammy Awards in classical music on Sunday night seem such a poor reflection of the field at large. The awards seem, as usual, to be based...

Theresienstadt Terezin Orchestra

Today marks the liberation of Auschwitz, but Holocaust Day commemorates all people destroyed in that madness, and by extension, those destroyed in other madnesses. I steeled myself to watch the propaganda movie made in Theresienstadt, to show the world what a "fun" place it was. There are shots of obviously urban people merrily digging vegetable plots, looking healthily suntanned and smiling....

Our 100th Post: Going behind their backs

Born out of papers presented at a study day in April 2008, Benjamin Britten: New Perspectives on his Life and Work is a fascinating volume. Edited by Lucy Walker, it represents the most recent work in Britten scholarship, covering such areas as musical and non-musical influences on the composer (as varied as Ovid, the cinema and Shostakovich), studies of individual works, and a discussion of a work...

Mahler 's Uncylopedia Entry

I've loved Wikipedia for a long time, but now I've found another site I love even more: Uncyclopedia. The entry for Gustav Mahler is one of the funniest things I've ever read as well. Here are a few of my favorites: In describing his 6th symphony, it says "Symphony No. 6 , “Angsty,” for orchestra, cowbell, and OMFG scary hammer. Order of the movements may change without notice"...

Scouse Mahler

Echoing the music of the past, while contemplating his ambivalence to the present and an uncertainty of the future, Mahler's symphonies are epic statements of man in the world. The Hallé/BBC Phil Mahler seems to be getting the majority of the Mahler attention in the Press. Michael Kennedy's piece this week in the Spectator fails to mention the Liverpool cycle entirely. To recap, Vasily Petrenko...

Currently listening to

Almost a year ago, I got the itch to hear some orchestral song cycles and backburnered the task to find some recordings. It took this long. These are my first MP3 purchases from Amazon. The Mahler recording has a lot of distortion (at least, it does on my crappy PC speakers that otherwise sound "good enough"). The Canteloube and Glazunov don't have this problem. The Glazunov symphonies I...
