Salzburg Festival (6) - GMYO/Hrůša: Mahler, 21 August 2023
FelsenreitschuleMahler: Symphony no.9Gustav Mahler Youth OrchestraJakub Hrůša (conductor)Image: © SF/Marco BorrelliTime was when I, like many concertgoers, was hearing a great deal of Mahler’s symphonies, probably more so than those of anyone else. That was partly choice, of course: no one compelled me to, and I was very much under Mahler’s spell. (Not that I am necessarily free now.) But it was also a reflection of concert programming and indeed the recording industry. As a student, I was avidly collecting Pierre Boulez’s revelatory Deutsche Grammophon series as it came out. In 2007, I travelled to Berlin for Holy Week and Easter, to hear Boulez and Daniel Barenboim conduct them all (minus the ‘Tenth’), plus the orchestral song-cycles, though sadly no Das klagende Lied. It was a defining moment in my musical life and even in my musical writing, for it had me begin my blog to record my experiences. (At […]

Three conductors, 2022
This Week in Classical Music: June 27, 2022. Three Conductors. We’re not going to ignore the three composers that were born this week, Christoph Willibald Gluck (on July 2nd of 1714), Leoš Janáček (on July 3rd of 1854) and Hans Werner Henze (July 1st of 1926), but would rather refer to the entry of two years ago where we wrote about all three. Instead, we’ll write about another three conductors whose birthdays are also celebrated this week: Claudio Abbado, born June 26th of 1933 in Milan; the Czech conductor Rafael Kubelík, who born on June 29th, 1914, one day after Archduke Ferdinand's assassination, as a result of which his country, Bohemia, then part of Austria-Hungary, became Czechoslovakia; and Carlos Kleiber, born July 3rd of 1930. We must confess that of these three we especially love Abbado, even though all three are considered among the best in the last century, and […]

Everything is in the music: conductor Antonello Manacorda on returning to La Traviata at Covent Garden, balancing concert work & opera, & music-making being a journey rather than a single event
Antonello Manacorda (Photo Nikolaj Lund) The Italian conductor Antonello Manacorda is currently conducting the current revival of Richard Eyre's production of Verdi's La Traviata at the Royal Opera House, with Lisette Oropesa, Kristina Mkhitaryan, and Anush Hovhannisyan sharing the role of Violetta. Based in Berlin, Antonello will be returning to our shores later this year for a concert with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (23 November 2021), with further orchestral engagements in the UK planned including with a period instrument ensemble. These neatly sum up the various threads in Antonello's career, opera, symphonic concerts and historically informed performance, as he balances a career in the opera house with being the music director of the Kammerakademie Potsdam. We meet at the Royal Opera House after Antonello has had a long day rehearsing two different casts for La Traviata [which subsequently received strong reviews, see Tim Ashley's review in The Guardian]. He […]
