Alexander Goehr 90th Birthday Concert – Goehr, Richards, and Anderson, Nash Ensemble et al., 22 March 2022
[…] concert will surely have confirmed the faithful in their habit and made a number of new converts. The Nash Ensemble premiered ….around Stravinsky twenty years ago in 2002. It is difficult to imagine a more sparkling, witty, and involving performance than that given here. With Stravinsky’s Pastorale at its heart, Goehr ‘remembers and refers to the piece “around” which it is performed’. And so, first we heard rich-toned solo violin (Benjamin Nabarro), in the movement ‘Dushkin’, which had at least a little, I fancied, of Stravinsky’s singular way with the instrument, albeit more rooted in German tradition (Schoenberg and Bach). Stravinsky himself, as automated music box, roaring towards (first version) and out of (second, as heard here) the Twenties, yielded to solo violin once more, this time an ‘Introduzione’, as eloquent as its predecessor, in character both related and different. Its proportions, not simply temporal, but also vertical and horizontal, […]

Unashamedly delicious: Nostalgic Russia, music for violin and piano from Hideko Udagawa and Petr Limonov
[…] comes from the same set as the famous Prelude in C Sharp Minor, written the year he graduated from Moscow Conservatoire, and has all the soulful longing that we expect of the composer, with a long violin line of piano arpeggios. Rachmaninov's set of pieces is dedicated to one of his teachers, Arensky (whose work is also on the disc). Stravinsky's opera Mavra was written for Diaghilev in 1922, and Stravinsky worked with violinist Samuel Dushkin (for whom Stravinsky wrote the violin concerto) on an arrangement of the Chanson Russe from the opera which they used in recitals. The piece is gloriously Russian, and has less of that element of distance that Stravinsky could sometimes bring to this repertoire, but the piece does provide a nice element of spice in a rich repertoire. Stravinsky's teacher was Rimsky-Korsakov (who also taught Arensky), and Rimsky Korsakov's final opera Le coq d'or provides […]
