CHRISTOPHER PARK in recital Town Hall, Birmingham, Monday 19th June, 2017 The longest piece on the programme opens the show, Variations & Fugue on a theme by Handel by Brahms. It’s the ideal piece to commence the evening and establishes Christopher Park’s virtuoso status from the off. At times florid, light, jaunty and sombre, the piece is a little like switching through television channels, and Park handles the sometimes abrupt changes of mood and tempo with ease. Every gear change Brahms throws at us is skilfully handled – we are in safe hands, but are his hands safe? When it’s over, Park announces he has to leave the stage to fetch a plaster. He has cut his finger, and I’m not surprised. Such robust, intense playing could result in a keyboard like a butcher’s shambles. He returns for a couple of Chopin pieces, the Nocturne Op 9 No […]

[…] at the Conservatoire de Paris, d’Indy, together with Charles Bordes and Alexandre Guilmant, founded the Schola Cantorum de Paris in 1894. D’Indy taught there and later at the Paris Conservatoire until his death. Among his many students were Isaac Albéniz, Leo Arnaud, Joseph Canteloube (who later wrote d’Indy’s biography), Pierre Capdevielle, Jean Daetwyler, Arthur Honegger, Eugène Lapierre, Leevi Madetoja, Albéric Magnard, Rodolphe Mathieu, Darius Milhaud, Cole Porter, Albert Roussel, Erik Satie, Georges-Émile Tanguay, Otto Albert Tichý, Emiliana de Zubeldia and Xian Xinghai. Xian was one of the earliest Chinese composers of western classical music. See: List of music students by teacher: A to B#Vincent d’Indy. Few of d’Indy’s works are performed regularly today. His best known pieces are probably the Symphony on a French Mountain Air (Symphonie sur un chant montagnard français, also known as Symphonie cévenole) for piano and orchestra (1886), and Istar (1896), a symphonic poem in the […]

There never was a woman like Gilda
La forza del destino has always been a problem opera, seemingly for audiences, musicians, and, in recent times, directors and designers, ever since which Verdi penned it for St. Petersburg in 1862, making considerable revisions over the following decade. Has anyone ever seen a truly great production of this opera? I first became acquainted with Forza in the Herbert Graf production which opened the Met’s 1952-1953 season, the same one in which, in 1960, Leonard Warren would die onstage. Until it was revised by James Levine and John Dexter in 1975, the production opened with Act I followed by the overture, and then Act II, scene ii, entirely omitting the endless “tavern scene” (which made me perfectly happy, since I basically cannot abide Preziosilla and Trabucco) among other musical nips and tucks. Eugene Berman’s scenery, which I doubt ever looked “new” to begin with, was used through 1984. I […]
