A Long Road of Remembrance and Hope
The oratorio O Lungo Drom (The Long Road) is an authentic testimony of the Sinti and Roma people, whose journey since time immemorial has been shrouded by poetic and popular imagination. It finds its voice for the first time here directly through the words of Sinti/Roma poets and writers, set to music by Roma composer Ralf Yusuf Gawlick. This oratorio will receive its joint U.S. premières on April 5th at College of the Holy Cross and the 6th at Boston College, with soprano Clara Meloni, baritone Christoph Filler, cimbalomist László Rácz and the Alban Berg Ensemble Wien, the same cast performing on the world première recording recently released on Decca Eloquence Australia. Harpsichordist Peter Watchorn, a professor at Boston College and co-founder, executive producer and CEO of the record label Musica Omnia (which hosts seven Gawlick recordings), recently spoke with the composer. PW: In the past decade, you have shared […]

Why do we always forget the Roma?
In his absorbing and sometimes outrageous memoir The Way to to the Labyrinth: Memories of East and West the authority on Hinduism and Indian music Alain Daniélou makes the following thoughtful comment: I often wonder at the way people who speak of genocide always seems to forget the Gypsies, the homosexuals, and the German dissidents who died at the hands of the Nazis; by limiting their condemnations, they only weaken their argument. It is not just because the victims were Jewish that extermination Camps were abominable. I never quite trust the sincerity of people who openly condemn anti-Semitism but conveniently forget the many other victims of Nazism. Back in 2006 in my post Roma - the forgotten Holocaust victims I explained how the fate of the millions of Jews murdered in Hitler's death Camps is well documented and remembered, but less is known about the 500,000 Gypsies who also died. There are […]

Not everyone climbs mountains
These photos were taken by me on my recent trip to India. Listening and reading while in Goa set me thinking about a response to a recent post here. On his excellent The Music Salon Canadian blogger Bryan Townsend wrote:On an Overgrown Path tells us There is no mass market for classical music. I'm pretty sure of two things regarding that: first, I have known this ever since I got into classical music, so it ain't news and two, that is a big part of the appeal. Not everyone climbs mountains and not everyone listens to classical music.Bryan's thoughtful response supports my thesis that for two decades classical music has been chasing a non-existent mass market, as exemplified by the strategy of turning BBC Radio 3 into a clone of Classic FM complete with 'info-commercials'. But, and that is very important but, we cannot overlook that classical music is losing […]
