Monday, March 21, 2016 You can listen to the Classical Music Almanac Podcast Daily here. Birthdays Johann Sebastian Bach In 1685 Johann Sebastian Bach was born in Eisenach. He was a German composer and musician of the Baroque period. He enriched established German styles through his skill in counterpoint, harmonic and motivic organisation, and the adaptation of rhythms, forms, and textures from abroad, particularly from Italy and France.Bach’s compositions include the Brandenburg Concertos, the Goldberg Variations, the Mass in B minor, two Passions, and over three hundred cantatas of which around two hundred survive. His music is revered for its technical command, artistic beauty, and intellectual depth. Bach’s abilities as an organist were highly respected during his lifetime, although he was not widely recognised as a great composer until a revival of interest and performances of his music in the first half of the 19th century. He is […]

Brilliance and Sophistication: Florent Schmitt’s Trois Rapsodies (1904)
One of the most satisfying of Florent Schmitt’s extensive trove of music for piano duet and duo – and the one that is my personal favorite of all of them – is Trois Rapsodies, Op. 53, a work he composed in 1903-4. Made up of three movements titled Française, Polonaise and Viennoise, it is a work that fully engages the senses on first hearing. “Nearly every possible kind of ‘poly’ element – polyphonic, polyrhythmic, poly-thematic”: Florent Schmitt’s Trois rhapsodies (1903-4). That’s not unexpected, considering the “immediate appeal” that music of this kind has on listeners; the rhapsodies of Liszt, Dvořák, Enesco, Ravel and Gershwin are also good cases in point. What is perhaps more surprising is how interesting and inventive these rhapsodies continue to sound on subsequent hearings. As it turns out, this isn’t superficial music at all. Instead, it is meaty material that continues to pay rich […]

The art of Igor Markevitch - part 1
Igor Markeivtch was such an extravagant personality. He was born in Ukraine, but soon his family moved to Paris and later to Switzerland. His whole life was connected with the most important artists of Western Europe: he was the last protegee of Diagilev, he learned music under Cortot and Boulanger, was a friend of Igor Stravinsky (Markevitch was also called "Igor-junior"), Clara Haskil, literator Jean Cocteau and many other prominent people of the time. Markevitch started his musical career as a composer. He wrote a number of compositions, which were warmly accepted by the public and critics. So it went on, until he met Hermann Scherchen (like Maderna as well). After visiting his conducting masterclasses, he finally became a conductor and never wrote music again.
