Revisiting Staatsoper Berlin’s Ring cycle proved a thrilling experience: Dmitri Tcherniakov's production returns to Unter den Linden with conductor Philippe Jordan
[…] timid and well-mannered brother, is seen holding his special guests in the palm of his hand performing the multi-coloured handkerchief illusion which conveniently fuses together to form one long silk scarf thereby representing the rainbow bridge. Clever stuff, eh! Crafty Loge, though, lurks in the realm of the shadows, his secret world, lights up a fag deciding that the lofty height of Valhalla is not for him. I lovingly remember Guy Cassiers' Ring with Simon O'Neill and Anja Kampe brilliantly stamping their authority on the demanding roles of Siegmund and Sieglinde in Die Walküre therefore I found it delightful to witness seeing Kampe returning to Staatsoper reprising the role of Brünnhilde.

Late romantic at Wigmore Hall: Simon Callaghan in Cyril Scott's sonata
[…] No. 1 at Wigmore Hall on 3 February 2024 alongside a wide-ranging programme of music from Scott's era with works by Percy Grainger, Claude Debussy and Igor Stravinsky. In fact, all three of these composers connected to Scott in some way.Scott was a man of connections. He studied in Frankfurt (including piano with one of Clara Schumann's pupils), where he met Percy Grainger and they formed part of the Frankfurt Gang with Balfour Gardiner, Norman O'Neill, Roger Quilter and Frederick Kelly, all of whom studied composition there with Iwan Knorr. Scott knew Stravinsky and visited him in Switzerland where Stravinsky played Scott parts of The Firebird, then a work in progress. It is speculated that Scott's fondness for constantly changing time signatures (something found in the piano sonata) influenced Stravinsky.
