Encore?

November 23rd, 2009

I was lucky enough to attend Nikolai Demidenko’s recital at the Wimbledon music festival last Saturday.

The Great Hall of King’s College School is a great venue for a piano recital, with a lovely atmosphere and good acoustic. A haven on what was a horrible damp evening. Since it was the first year of the festival I am prepared to forgive the confusion over seating. When our group of twelve arrived to take up our reserved seats in row 3, there were only six seats available in that row. I hope in future they will number the seats.

Demidenko’s playing was superb! He plays with great colour and range and his sense of rhythm and pace are flawless. At times during the Schubert Sonata in D I was sure that he had other instruments at his disposal, such was the variety of sound he produced.

The performance should have ended with Mussorgsky’s masterpiece “Pictures at an Exhibition.” I say should have, because after Demidenko had transported the audience around that famous exhibition and left us transfixed in wonder, he returned to play two short encore pieces which, nice though they were, left me feeling somewhat downbeat. Is it just me or does anyone else agree, that these encores often add nothing to the entertainment? By their very nature they tend to be short un-substantial pieces that detract from the crescendo of the programmed pieces. There are bound to be exceptions but in this case they were superfluous.

Something’s happening

October 27th, 2009

There is something really good happening in Manchester. The wonderful BBC Philharmonic! When I enjoyed them at this year’s Proms under Sir Charles Mackerras I thought they were outstanding. Last Saturday, on home soil at the Bridgewater Hall they were simply tremendous. This time under the young Spanish conductor, Pablo Heras-Casado, who was making his debut with the orchestra, they were nothing short of world beating.

The orchestra play with a passion and intensity that makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. In some concerts the music washes over you which is a pleasant enough experience, but with these players you are drawn in and made to feel a part of it. I am not a music critic, so I am not qualified to comment on the finer points of the playing, but so much that is great about classical music is in the emotions and feelings and boy do these guys deliver!

I had not come across Pablo Heras-Casado before but think Dudamel enlarged to twice the size and you will get some idea. He is a huge presence on the stage, immensely watchable with gentle but expressive hands.

Alban Gerhardt’s rendition of Dvorak’s Cello concerto in G minor was beautiful, despite the endpin of his cello taking on a life of its own during a sublime slow movement. It is a credit to him that the music did not suffer one bit as his instrument explored the podium.

What a shame then with all this wonderful music going on the hall was not full. The people of Manchester are missing out. The orchestra will be back at the Bridgewater Hall on 7 November, I urge you to find out for yourselves.

Sir Charles brings Joy

July 27th, 2009

What a fantastic concert on Saturday at the Albert Hall. I realised that I should have referred to it as roast beef when I mentioned I was looking forward to all the meat in the programme after the insubstantial first night.
A group of Classical Partners met before the concert for a very enjoyable meal in Cafe Consort. Who on earth thought it would be a good idea to close the Elgar Restaurant for refurbishment during the Proms?
Then it was on to the music:
Elgar’s “Cockaigne” set the tone for this evening of English music. Unmistakeably English, unmistakeably Elgar with just a touch of Wagner. A slightly sugar coated view of London in the early part of the last century but I like a bit of optimism.
Next we had Delius, The Song of the High Hills. For me this turned into the highlight of the evening. For about twenty minutes I was no longer in the Albert Hall but was transported to the great outdoors and revelled in sharing Delius’ love of nature. How strange that this man could claim to loathe England and yet write something as pastoral as this. I have never been to Norway but based on this, a visit is long overdue.
Holst’s The Planets was quite simply stunning. Despite the familiarity of the piece it was performed with a freshness that enlivened the whole audience. Venus in particular raised my spirits.
Hats off to the often overlooked provincial BBC Philharmonic whose vituosity was outstanding and to Sir Charles Mackerras in particular whose understated performance brought a great deal of joy to this member of the audience.

Future Stars

June 22nd, 2009

Classical Partners’ soirees are truly unique. They offer the chance to experience music at its most intimate. Our latest at Craxton Studios was no exception. With no barrier between the musicians and the audience you can really feel the music.

We were entertained by two young ladies who I am sure will be names that will become familiar in the near future. Ina Charuashvili and Meng Yang Pan performed a wonderfully varied programme of solo, duet and pieces for two pianos. There was sensitivity in the Rachmaninov Suite No 2 for two pianos, passion in the Arensky Suite Op. 15 for two pianos and virtuosity in the Schubert/Liszt Song Transcriptions when Meng Yang really excelled. It is so inspiring to hear young musicians performing to such a high level and with such obvious joy.

The evening was not just music of course. We also had a few glasses of bubbly on arrival with plenty of time to mingle and meet new friends as well as a buffet supper. I particularly enjoyed the chocolate meringue pudding as did everyone who tried it.

Walking and Music in the Cotswolds

May 5th, 2009

For the latest of our weekends away, Classical Partners were once again blessed with excellent weather. Arriving on Friday afternoon after an horrendous journey on the M25 we collected some members from Moreton in the Marsh train station on route to Harrington House which was to be our base for the weekend.
After settling in it was time for a stroll around Bourton on the Water and of course tea and cakes at one of the waterside cafes. These things just have to be done.
Members continued to arrive throughout the afternoon and we all met up in the bar before an exceptionally good dinner.
After dinner I arranged a name that tune game that kept us all entertained. It is amazing how recognisable most pieces of music are. You only need a couple of seconds, naming it can take a little longer, especially if it is one of Barry’s!
Saturday morning started with a real downpour and things were not looking good for our walk. However, after a hearty breakfast, it brightened up and Sue from the North Cotswolds Ramblers Group arrived to lead us on our walk. Sue was an excellent guide and I can recommend her group to anyone wanting to walk in this beautiful part of the country. We ambled along with everyone chatting away and marvelling at the countryside in the spring sunshine. Along riverbanks, through woodland and over little hills, just fabulous.
A picnic lunch on a sunny hillside was followed by a well timed stop in the Black Horse at Naunton, which was difficult to leave, it was back to Harrington House by 4pm, in all 9.75 miles according to someone’s GPS, in time for tea and cakes on the lawn. There was even time for a game of croquet which I won entirely due to my team mates efforts.
After a suitable break to freshen up, we met up for a glass of bubbly before dinner. Well fed and watered we retired to the lounge to be entertained by Oxus, a quartet from Oxford who had set themselves up in the middle of the room with seating all around. You don’t get music any more intimate than that! They performed beautifully. Mendelssohn’s String Quartet in E flat, op.44 no.3 was a highlight.
On Sunday we went our separate ways. I had a boat to catch, but that’s another story….
In all a great weekend. There is no better way to meet new friends whilst relaxing and sharing the enjoyment of music and the countryside. Next month a couple who met at our last weekend are getting married. Who knows what the outcome of this one will be, but I have heard some whispers…. I had better get on with planning the next one.
