Andres/Segev/Metropolis Ensemble/Cyr(Nonesuch)These three works showcase the US composer’s distinctive and accomplished musical languageLike a number of US composers of the thirtysomething generation, Timo Andres takes the minimalism of John Adams and Philip Glass as the starting point for his eclectic musical language. But as shown by the solo piano Colorful History, which Andres himself plays as the centrepiece to this collection, his music explores a much broader musical landscape.The solo piece, a chaconne of increasing complexity, is framed by two concertos: The Blind Banister for piano from 2017 (composed for Jonathan Biss, but with Andres as the soloist here) and Upstate Obscura for cello. The piano concerto (Andres’s third for the instrument) was commissioned as part of a series inspired by Beethoven’s five examples: for Andres, the pairing was with the second piano concerto, but there’s no hint of Beethovenian pastiche or allusion in his music. Instead the work begins […]

Giordano: Fedora - Charne Rochford, Sky Ingram - IF Opera (Photo: LAIMA)Giordano: Fedora; Sky Ingram, Charne Rochford, Lorena Paz Nieto, Alexey Gusev, director: John Wilkie, Bristol Ensemble, conductor: Oliver Gooch; IF Opera at Belcombe CourtA young cast and an admirably lucid production bring out the passion and melodic charms of Giordano's thrillerUmberto Giordani's 1898 opera Fedora doesn't get out often enough. You can find plenty off reason why it shouldn't work, but those sort of criteria apply equally to operas firmly in the canon, and there is plenty of music in the piece of a quality to make an spending an evening in the theatre with Fedora a rewarding experience.At IF Opera, director John Wilkie [see my recent interview with John] gave Fedora (seen 26 August 2023) a good rethinking.
