Orchestra Of St. Luke's 25 in C Major, with the Czech pianist ivan moravec as soloist, and Symphony No. 38, Prague, two works that were written simultaneously. http://www.oslmusic.org/about/season0405.html
Extractions: St. Lukes started as a chamber ensemble with the impossible dream that it could do everything from Baroque to contemporary and chamber ensemble to chamber orchestra this was our vision from the very first day, said OSL President and Executive Director, and co-founder, Marianne Lockwood. That it has grown to embrace all of that and more, with a list of pre-eminent collaborating artists, presenters, and venues, has extended beyond any of our wildest expectations. Commenting on the vitality of music-making that is the St. Lukes trademark, Lockwood said, We have a core of extraordinary musicians who thrive on the variety of what we do orchestral, chamber, old, and new. This is what St. Lukes is all about, and even after three decades, it keeps us all young. The St. Lukes synergy is on view in particular in concerts in its 2004-2005 Carnegie Hall and Zankel Hall seasons: countertenor David Daniels performs as soloist with the Orchestra at its October 21 season opening Carnegie concert with Sir Roger Norrington, in music of Purcell and Handel, and also joins the St. Lukes Chamber Ensemble for its opening Zankel Hall concert on October 27, for cantatas of Scarlatti. And Principal Conductor Donald Runnicles, in his second of two Carnegie concerts, the Postcard from Prague on March 31, 2005, steps from the podium to the piano to join St. Lukes musicians for one work, Martinus La revue de cuisine, a jazz ballet suite for clarinet, bassoon, trumpet, violin, cello, and piano.
Beethoven: 32 Sonatas (of the Pathétique) impressed me as the most tragicsounding performance I have ever heard from any pianist. ivan moravec. Read Other Rave Reviews http://www.robert-silverman.com/cd/Beethoven32.html
Extractions: A Grammy is the US equivalent of a Juno Fanfare (May-June 2004) (complete 4-page review on request) "I cannot remember enjoying the complete Beethoven sonatas as much as in these utterly engaging performances by Robert Silverman...Silverman plays these masterpieces as musically as anyone I have ever heard The music is first, not the playing of the music. He plays them naturally, as if he has lived with them all his life ... His rendition (of the Path tique) impressed me as the most tragic-sounding performance I have ever heard from any pianist. Few pianists utilize pauses as effectively as Silverman; they are literally breathtaking ... His ability to balance the various components of the last movement makes it a truly poetic performance...Very few pianists I've heard can do much more than just get through the turgidity of the (op. 106, the Hammerklavier ) fugue of fugues, but Silverman's clear conception of the movement's destination enables him to cut through its seeming awkwardness with insight and imagination. Silverman's reverence for the (late sonatas) carries the day. He revels in Beethoven's ability to save us from the existential abyss with a glorious fugue. Few musicians so convincingly detail the thrill of fuguing their way into one of Beethoven's greatest apotheoses as does Silverman ... I recommend these as highly as possible."

Extractions: Two of the worlds great orchestrasone 30 years old, one going back more than a century and a halfgrace the stages of Carnegie Hall this month. "Carnegie Hall is one of the very few places that belong on the Mount Olympus of music," Clemens Hellsberg, president of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, says with a smile. He ticks off others on the fingers of one handthe Amsterdam Concertgebouw; La Scala in Milan; and the Musikverein and Opera House (Staatsoper), both homes of the Vienna Philharmonic. A member of the first violin section of the latter's venerable and famously self-managed orchestra, Hellsberg continues, "All the great concert halls have their own particular history and personality. And playing at Carnegie Hall has been a big goal for every musician." "From the day Carnegie Hall opened its doors in 1891, orchestras have been an integral part of the Hall and its programming. And that tradition continues to this day," says Klaus Jacobs, Vice Chairman and Acting Executive Director of Carnegie Hall. "As an international concert hall," he continues, "we are proud to present the greatest orchestras from all over the world. This season we have more than 60 different concerts by nine international and 15 American orchestras." Among the international orchestras is the superb Vienna Philharmonic, which has presented an annual series of concerts here since 1989. On March 11-13, the orchestra will be performing works of Beethoven, Brahms, Mahler, and others, with conductor Mariss Jansons.

Extractions: by Jay Nordlinger A E Following the partita were three pieces of Brahms, including the Intermezzo in B G C D minor, and the Symphony No. 2 in D major; the program for the second was the Piano Concerto No. 2 in B flat, and the Symphony No. 4 in E B B As for the orchestra, it was better in the B creakiness . The pianist, persevering, treated parts of this movement almost as a scherzo, not so much playing the notes as playing with them. He came back, however, with suitable Brahmsian majesty. And his octaves were frighteningly fast and accurate. But he also missed a fair amount of notes, forgivable in the ordinary pianist, but unusual for this one. As for our poor horn players, they continued to crack, and flat, and otherwise horrify. The Andante featured a badly out of tune oboe, but a decent cello. (The cello is a solo instrument in this movement, along with the piano.) Pletnev was once again uncharacteristic here: He committed some unseemly pounding. (You might say there is no other kind, but that is debatable.) Toward the end, however, he managed to project the right air of holiness.

Extractions: by Jay Nordlinger T his season, the Metropolitan Opera again turned to Cav and Pag Cavalleria Rusticana Pagliacci , that stellar double bill. Neither Mascagni nor Leoncavallo ever had another big success, but they each had one more than most people ever have. Any composer (with sense) would be proud to claim either of these works. Together, they should provide a boffo night of verismo. He showed a fine understanding of both Cav and Pag . The opening of the former was beautiful, like the petals of a flower, unfolding. Later, the famous Intermezzo would be much the same. That wonderful orchestral interlude is best simple and unaffected, and this is what Davies allowed it to be. In the course of Cavalleria Rusticana , the orchestra broke down badly a couple of times, but mainly it stayed on track, as it did during I Pagliacci These productions come courtesy of Franco Zeffirelli, and they are two of his most enduring. (Frankly, all Zeffirelli productions endure.) Few people create Italy onstage as well as Zeffirelli, and, in Cav Pag Singing Santuzza in Cav Don Carlo , also at the Met. (Eboli is a classic mezzo role.) Perhaps it is enough to say that Urmana is a singer.

On these civic, humanistic and democratic principles Czech Music Council restaured its activity in February 1993 (the Council was founded in 1972 and its situation was therefore limited by the contemporary political system). The Concil revival was not initiated only due to internal needs to study the situation of Czech music culture in the period of the political and economical transformation but also due to the European Music Council which in this period started a trend of the European music live integration.

The Czech Music Council associates 40 important music institutions, individual members (including the Council presidium) and honorary members. The Czech Music Council follows the tradition of the Council International of Music and since 1994 has been annually awarding exceptional activities across all genres and styles of Czech music culture.

Extractions: Main You have got to love a conductor who starts the orchestra with a count that goes One, two, buckle my shoe ." Posted by Eddie Silva at 04:37 PM Early morning, William Eddins was rehearsing on the piano backstage again, a softer, more melodious mood than the rollicking jazz rhythms of the day before. Yet when he took the podium to rehearse the orchestra through Saint-Saëns and Rachmaninoff, he was a conductor without a voice. Rather, he had a voice, but it could barely be heard a lower-register rasp that made me think of old blues musicians telling their life history through whiskey-soaked vocal chords. For Eddins, however, it was the notorious pollen-infested St. Louis air afflicting him. Eddins pressed on, as did the orchestra. After the lunch break Eddins was back at the keyboard long before rehearsal resumed, like a man at a fountain regaining his strength finding it at the place where his voice was clear.
