Death of a classical photographer
We report with regret the death of Vico Chamla, a photographer who chronicled classical music in Milan for three decades, especially early music. He was a close friend of many artists, among them Gustav Leonhardt. Ton Koopman, Philippe Herreweghe, Radu Lupu, Yuri Bashmet, Jordi Savall and Andras Schiff. Of French and Greek origin, he would invest huge amounts of time in capturing the moment. He once spent two days with Riccardo Muti and came away without a single exposure. He was about 66 years old.

[…] we are all equal in this manner of how we become alive on the planet Earth. And if all this is true, what is abortion then? My first conscious memory occurred on on June 6, 1962 at approximately 7:30 PM. At that moment in time, in a small auditorium, everyone in it was giving me a standing ovation. Yep, my first memory is a standing ‘o.’ I had just finished playing the Tarantello Vico by Giovanni . (A mildly amusing overhand piece that spans four octaves.) I was trapped in a black booster chair, that was up against a classic black grand piano. My clothing, a black velvet jumpsuit was a bit odd, and that is probably why I have an aversion to wearing “formal attire.” I prefer wearing the fewest possible items of casual clothing. Okay okay…the outfit I wore the night of my first […]

Dec. 15 Book review: Song of Spider-Man
[…] What came to be known as the “Taymor Effect,” an emphasis on stunning visuals and attention to detail, came with a hefty price tag: The musical’s cost at the time was estimated at $30 million. Berger meanwhile is caught in the ancient world thrall of Taymor. During a creative meeting with Bono and The Edge in Dublin, Ireland, he writes: Julie and I killed time the next morning taking a too-long walk down Vico Road in the blustery wind to Dalkey. I lent her my scarf, which she wrapped like a babushka to protect her freezing ears, and we were exchanging grins and gazes, and I didn’t know what to make of any of this. She was too young to be my mother, too old to be — what — I didn’t know what, but this was getting heady. A maternal, powerful, alluring artist recognized a kindred spirit […]

The first music composed by computer considered good enough for top-class musicians to play is to be performed to mark the 100th anniversary of Alan Turing's birth Take our own musical Turing test hereAs soon as you see the title of Iamus's composition Transits – Into an Abyss, you know it's going to be challenging, modernist stuff. The strings pile up discords, first spooky, now ominous. But if your tastes run to Bartók, Ligeti and Penderecki, you may like it. At least you have to admit this bloke knows what he's doing.But this bloke doesn't know anything at all. Iamus is a computer program. Until the London Symphony Orchestra was handed the score, no human had intervened in preparing the music."When we tell people that, they think it's a trick," says Francisco Vico, leader of the team at the University of Malaga who devised Iamus.
