Norwich Cathedral Organists (Photo: Bill Smith/Norwich Cathedral)In fact, this special summer festival (generously underwritten by the Statham Society which supports the musical life of Norwich Cathedral) has been carefully planned to coincide with the first anniversary of the organ’s return following its ambitious rebuild by Harrison & Harrison.

Six Concerts avec plusieurs instruments - London Handel Players
[…] soloists and continuo, creating something graceful yet with strong instrumental colours. For the finale, sharp tutti rhythms contrasted with busy solo writing for the groups. An intriguing piece that sat partly between concerto grosso and orchestral work.Finally in the first half, Bach's better known Concerto for oboe, violin and strings in C minor, a work reconstructed from one of his harpsichord concertos. The soloists seemed to emerge naturally from the rich ensemble sound in the opening movement, Andreas Helm's solo oboe contrasting strongly with Adrian Butterfield's solo violin. The second movement, had the two soloists weaving intertwining lines over continuo, and we ended with a finale full of engaging energy.The second half opened with Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 6, featuring two solo violas and an ensemble of low instruments (no violins, no ensemble violas). The first movement was pure texture, Rachel Byrne and Adrian Butterfield's solos emerging and receding from the rich textures, […]

Artists from round the world and across the region will gather in Norwich and, indeed, across the county to present a huge variety of work and events in a programme featuring a host of ‘stories’ providing guided routes through the festival and bringing together shows and events that share common themes.

Absolutely on Music: Conversations with Seiji Ozawa (Book Review)
by Karl NehringMurakami, Haruki. Absolutely on Music: Conversations with Seiji Ozawa. New York: Alfred A Knopf, 2016. The world of classical music lost a legendary figure earlier this month when the revered and beloved Japanese conductor Seiji Ozawa (1935-2024) passed away at the age of 88. February 6 has long been a memorable day in my life, for it was my ETS day – the day I was discharged from active duty in the U.S. Army, way back in 1975. But from now on, February 6, the day of Seiji Ozawa’s passing, will have an additional memory attached to it, making it a bittersweet day of remembrance for the rest of my time here on this watery orb. My guess would be that most lovers of classical music have at least a few recordings in their collection that feature Maestro Ozawa. He was at the Helm of the venerable Boston Symphony Orchestra […]
