Revisiting Staatsoper Berlin’s Ring cycle proved a thrilling experience: Dmitri Tcherniakov's production returns to Unter den Linden with conductor Philippe Jordan
[…] perusing the Occult section. And, of course, to trick Alberich out of his 'stolen treasure', Wotan goads the poisonous dwarf to morph into a dragon and then a toad by utilising the magical properties of the Tarnhelm. But in Tcherniakov infinite wisdom there's no dragon or toad whatsoever, just the idea of these so-called creatures swimming about in Alberich's confused and mindless head. The scene, in fact, was not too dissimilar to that portrayed in Valentin Schwarz' production now in its third year at Bayreuth. However, I think it fared better here. It ended calamitously, of course, with Alberich quietly removed to the research centre by a couple of white-coated male lab staff while cursing the ground he stood on and cursing his own stupidity. The cast of this production just grew and grew upon one with Wotan's long-suffering but loyal wife, Fricka, gracefully portrayed by Claudia Manke, delivering […]

Classical music must not cease from exploration
Today is a poignant personal anniversary, so I have been listening to Valentin Silvestrov's Stille Lieder (Silent Songs) in the 1986 ECM recording. This morning that performance by baritone and Sergej Jakowenko accompanied by Ilja Scheps was, for me, the most sublimely appropriate masterpiece. But that is because of the personal conditions relating to today. Tomorrow, depending on the conditions, a Sibelius symphony, a Mozart string quartet, Iiro Rantala's jazz improvisations, or Steve Roach's electronica will be sublimely appropriate. Masterpieces, like every human condition, are impermanent. They come and go, and return and return - Silvestrov's Stille Lieder first featured here back in 2008, many years before the Ukrainian tragedy gave their composer his 30 minutes of fame. (Newcomers to Silvestrov's music should know that Stille Lieder are the root from which his better known masterpieces, the Fifth Symphony and Requiem for Larissa grew.) For decades classical music has been trying, without success, […]
