J.S. Bach: Three Adventures in B Minor
On Wednesday, we explored J.S Bach’s Orchestral Suite No. 2, a festive and celebratory collection of Baroque dances that is nonetheless shrouded in veiled, mysterious B minor. (It’s the only one of Bach’s four Orchestral Suites to be set in a minor key). The nineteenth century Austrian pianist, composer, and educator Ernst Pauer believed that each musical key embodies a distinct atmosphere. He called B minor “that very melancholy key” which “tells ...

Panoply of attractive piano and chamber music / Perianes, Dego, Viennese and Argentine artists show their talent
[…] I much admire. In this case he presented scores originally for wind quintet or adapted to it, with his colleagues Laura Rus (flute), David Bortolus (oboe), Leonardo Melgarejo (horn) and Gabriel La Rocca (bassoon). The brief four-movement Quintet by Jirí Laburda written when he was 80 in 2011 is dedicated to his friend Slabý and is a fine example of Neoclassicism´survival. The longer and more complex Quintet by Jirí Pauer (1919-2007) has a curious structure: six movements divided in groups of two (Introduction and main material), with the accent on humour (Burlesque, Grotesque); the music is imaginative and fresh, Neoclassic but more audacious.

Die Geschichte der engen künstlerischen Verbindung zwischen Leipzig und Boston begann im Jahr 1881, als Orchestergründer Henry Lee Higginson den am Leipziger Konservatorium ausgebildeten Georg Henschel als ersten Dirigenten des Boston Symphony Orchestra (BSO) engagierte. In der Folge wurden immer wieder Dirigenten berufen, die in Leipzig ausgebildet worden waren, oder Stellen im Gewandhausorchester (GWO) innehatten. Darunter Wilhelm Gericke, Emil Pauer, Max Fiedler, Karl Muck und – vielleicht der wichtigste – Arthur Nikisch. Mitte des Zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts wurde die Verbindung bekräftigt, als Charles Münch im Jahr 1949 Chefdirigent des BSO wurde (bis 1962). Münch hatte ebenfalls in Leipzig studiert und war von 1923 bis 1933 erster Konzertmeister des Gewandhausorchesters. Darüber hinaus ist der Neubau der Boston Symphony Hall aus dem Jahre 1900 vom Zweiten Gewandhaus inspiriert. Auf der Grundlage der historischen Bindung planen Mark Volpe, […]
