Sony Classics 19858868622I had hoped to have this review posted while it was still officially winter on the calendar; however, I will excuse and console myself by noting that as I write the words on the second full day of spring here in rural central Ohio, the wind chill is currently 33° and the overnight low is forecasted to be 20°, so it might as well still be winter here […]

Late romantic at Wigmore Hall: Simon Callaghan in Cyril Scott's sonata
[…] the composer's virtuosic solo version from 1918 (made when he was in New York) so we moved from insouciant charm to engaging, bravura complexity; Grainger the composer showing off Grainger the pianist. Debussy's La fille aux cheveux di lin (also from book one of the preludes) was played with a gentle clarity. This group ended with Grainger's Molly on the Shore, also from 1918, catchy of course and similarly engagingly show-off .Cyril Scott by Herbert Lambert, photogravure circa 1922 (National Portrait Gallery photographs collection NPG Ax7750)Scott's sonata is in four movements but they play without a break and the use of constantly changing time-signatures gives the music a sense of restless flow, it begins and never ceases in a rich stream of complex textures. Lyrical, late-romantic and highly wrought, but rather seductive too. The richly chromatic harmonies providing a wonderful shifting backdrop of colour to the rhapsodic material, constantly in […]

A visit to Bayreuth coupled with a Ring in Berlin made this year's operatic victor well-nigh inevitable. Mozart, though, was not so far off, with a couple of live 'firsts': Il re pastore and Ascanio in Alba. A somewhat restricted chronological range too, with no Monteverdi, nor indeed anything before Purcell. As usual, I have included concert and staged performances, and anything treated as an opera (e.g. the Komische Oper's staging of Henze's oratorio, Das Floss der Medusa).11 Wagner 8 Mozart 4 Strauss 2 Bizet, Handel, Puccini 1 Berg, Cherubini, Dvořák, Bushra El-Turk, Henze, Humperdinck, Janáček, Korngold, Edward Lambert, Martinů, Mussorgsky, Purcell, Rossini, Saariaho, Schoenberg, Tchaikovsky
