In this issue we celebrate the anniversaries of two significant period ensembles – our cover stars, Renaissance vocalists The Tallis Scholars mark their 50th birthday; and French orchestra Les Siècles raises a toast to its 20th. In the decades since their formation, both groups have done much to further the cause and understanding of historic performing practices, and to present music of the distant past as a living, breathing artform, just as capable today of moving audiences with its vibrancy and relevance as when it was first composed. On page 26, Jeremy Pound speaks to Tallis Scholars director Peter Phillips about performing in varied venues, from near-deserted churches to the world’s largest concert halls, and about building a special balance and clarity of sound with his carefully selected group of…

On the afternoon of 16 November 1906, a middle-aged woman was standing in the monkey house of the Central Park Zoo, New York, when suddenly she ‘felt the knuckles of a hand rub against me’. Turning, she saw a ‘foreign-looking man’ loitering behind her. The woman (‘Mrs Hannah Graham’, the newspapers reported) screamed, fearing ‘there was no mistaking the insult intended’ – the foreigner was, in the language of the period, a ‘masher’, a sexual predator who ‘annoyed’ women by making unwanted advances on them in public places. Events quickly escalated in a startling fashion. A plain-clothes policeman, James Caine, stepped forward to intervene in the encounter. Caine was no ordinary bystander, but in fact had 13 years’ experience on the Park Zoo beat, ‘watching for men who annoy women,’…

When Wynne Evans (left) recently invited the judges to go and compare his cooking on the BBC’s Celebrity MasterChef TV series, the opera singer and radio presenter was pleasantly surprised to hear himself named as the outright winner. A tasty moment indeed, though Evans is by no means the first opera singer to reveal their culinary prowess… When not on stage, Enrico Caruso (see also p14) loved to head into the kitchen and regularly talked about his cooking skills – today, his fondness for chicken livers is immortalised in the eponymous dish Spaghetti alla Caruso. Several decades later, his fellow Italian tenor Luciano Pavarotti showed a similar enthusiasm and was more than happy to be seen knocking up a meal on TV, not least in 1979 when he cooked pasta…

Several weeks of (one hopes) calming reflection have passed since that moment in France when Sir John Eliot Gardiner came offstage after conducting Berlioz’s The Trojans and punched bass soloist William Thomas. Gardiner, who is 80, has publicly apologised and withdrawn from engagements. His agent tells us that he has sought counselling for his mental health. Thomas, 29, also withdrew from the final performances in The Trojans tour (including the BBC Prom), telling colleagues that the media pressure had become too much. So is that the end of the matter? If I write ‘I hope not’ I might be accused of spinning out a juicy story for low journalistic reasons. That’s not true. Some aspects of this cautionary tale – for instance, Gardiner’s sometimes abrasive behaviour and his high-handed treatment…

The last note falls silent – the hall fills with applause. Everyone, including the president, gets to their feet It’s a warm May evening in Prague. People dressed in black tie flock to the Smetana Hall, a beautiful Art Nouveau building in the centre of the city. The 1,200-seat auditorium is full. The TV cameras are rolling, the radio mics are broadcasting, and eager concertgoers are snapping selfies. A brass fanfare heralds the arrival of Czech president Petr Pavel and, after the orchestra plays the national anthem, the concert begins. Eighty minutes or so later, after a fluid and vivid performance of Smetana’s Má Vlast, the last note falls silent. The hall fills with applause. Everyone, including the president, gets to their feet. It’s clear that this first concert of…

There are plenty of reasons to visit Mittenwald. The spectacular Karwendel mountains offer forest trails for hiking, while the Isar valley roads reward cyclists. A vertiginous cable car ride whisks you through alpine forests to a granite moonscape 2,244 feet high, dotted with remnants of winter snow, where you can stand with one foot in Austria and the other in Germany, gazing down at lakes and fields and trying to mentally map the town’s position on an ancient trade route between Venice and Nuremberg. Then there is the fairy-tale charm of the town itself. Many buildings are original, some beautifully daubed with the regional ‘Lüftlmalerei’ – Baroque-style murals depicting local life and religious iconography. The clear-blue Isar river winds gently through town and locals wear dirndls and lederhosen without irony.…

The composer Though only in his early 20s when he wrote his Sinfonia Concertante K364, Mozart already had a very substantial number of works on his CV. These include nine of his 27 piano concertos, all five of his violin concertos, more than 30 symphonies and a huge body of chamber music and solo keyboard works. And while big-hitters such as The Marriage of Figaro and Don Giovanni were yet to come, opera featured strongly too. He was also well travelled, having toured Europe widely as a performer from childhood onwards – something that inevitably gave the Salzburg-born composer a certain Wanderlust… Building a Library is broadcast on Radio 3 at 9.30am each Saturday as part of Record Review. A highlights podcast is available on BBC Sounds. The work In…

Welcome My job affords me a unique vantage point of the recording landscape – you’d be amazed how the same repertoire can be recorded by different artists and released at the same time, but that’s another story. One thing I’ve noticed is how the classical music world appears to be taking more notice of South America than ever before; indeed Villa-Lobos looms largest this month, appearing on six recordings. Linus Roth presents SamBach, while Brazilian guitarist Plínio Fernandes gives us Bacheando – both probing links back across the Atlantic to Johann Sebastian. Then there’s Simone Menezes’s Amazônia project, doing its bit to highlight deforestation; and, in Brief Notes, José Navarro-Silberstein’s Vibrant Rhythms and a fine collection called Chorinho. Michael Beek Reviews editor This month’s critics John Allison, Nicholas Anderson, Terry Blain,…

OPERA CHOICE Fux’s crowning glory thrillingly distilled Berta Joncus enjoys Alfredo Bernardini’s slimmed-down La Corona d’Arianna Fux La Corona d’Arianna Carlotta Colombo; Marianne Beate Kielland et al; Arnold Schoenberg Choir; Zefiro/Alfredo Bernardini Arcana A548 68:15 mins Johann Joseph Fux’s La Corona d’Arianna is wonderful in this version by director Alfredo Bernardini, who drastically shortened the opera due to 2022 Covid measures. He chose the very best arias to range alongside the composer’s stonking overture and choruses. Written in 1726, La Corona d’Arianna honoured Holy Roman Empress Elisabeth Christine. In the action, Venus (‘Venere’), proxy for the Empress, engineers the marriages both of Ariadne (‘Arianna’) and Bacchus (‘Bacco’), and of Thetis (‘Teti’) and Peleus. Soprano Monica Piccinini as Venere dominates the opera’s first part, triumphing in the climactic ‘Spera, e taci’,…

INSTRUMENTAL CHOICE Bach’s Italian links explored with flair Harpsichordist Justin Taylor is a captivating guide, says Kate Bolton-Porciatti Bach & l’Italie Works by JS Bach, Vivaldi, A Scarlatti, Marcello Justin Taylor (harpsichord) Alpha Classics ALPHA998 71:53 mins This thoughtfully planned programme exploring Bach’s affinities with his Italian contemporaries includes his famous Concerto ‘in the Italian style’ and several reworkings of concertos by the Venetian composers Vivaldi and Alessandro Marcello. We also hear how the Italian Baroque idiom percolates more generally through to Bach: everywhere are suggestions of the free-flowing recitatives and lyrical arias of Italian Baroque opera or the fiery ‘stylus fantasticus’ of Italian instrumental music. For instance, the sequence opens with a Toccata by Alessandro Scarlatti which leads into Bach’s Chromatic Fantasia and Fugue, BWV 903, in which the…

Clive Paget Arts writer, critic and editor ‘Not only was a trip to Paris a chance to interview François-Xavier Roth on his home turf, hearing “historically informed” Stravinsky in the very theatre that witnessed the Rite of Spring riots was an unforgettable experience.’ Page 42 John Allison Editor and critic ‘Priaulx Rainier was the first composer I saw in person — still at school when she came to Cape Town in 1982 for her honorary doctorate, I was lucky enough to hear a special concert of her music.’ Page 54 Ariane Todes Writer and editor ‘I’ve had my 1758 Sebastian Klotz violin for three decades and often imagined its origins, so it was a special thrill to stand outside the house where it was made and meet a descendant of…

Windy weekends If you are a young bassoonist – whether in the early stages of playing or already up to the challenge of that tricky Rite of Spring solo – then the Royal College of Music would love you to join them. On various Sundays from November to April, the RCM Young Bassoon Programme will be offering free tuition to players aged 11-18, Grade 4 to post-Diploma. See the RCM website for details. Climate champion Vladimir Jurowski has always liked to take a different approach. When two Renovate Switzerland climate activists took to the stage during the Bavarian State Orchestra’s Lucerne Festival concert, the conductor refrained from the usual course of waiting for security to hoik them off, opting instead to invite the pair to have their say, amid boos…

3rd: At the first ever International Radiotelegraph Convention in Berlin, it is agreed that SOS – represented in Morse code as three dots, three dashes and three dots – should be adopted globally as the signal of distress. The signal has been in use since April the previous year in Germany, where it is known as the ‘Notzeichen’, and the international agreement will become effective in July 1908. 11th: Ethel Smyth’s The Wreckers is premiered at the Neues Theater in Leipzig. Though the opera was originally composed with a French libretto, Smyth has had no success in getting it staged in France, so is instead forced to turn to Germany, where it is sung in a German translation with major cuts. Despite the composer’s reservations, the performance is a huge…

Violinist Esther Yoo reflects on the huge debt of gratitude she owes to her teacher, violinist Ana Chumachenco Among the many great teachers I have had the privilege of working with, it’s hard to put into words just how Ana Chumachenco has impacted on my life since I started working with her at the age of eight. The way Ana mentors her students goes way beyond merely teaching music. She really cares for her students – she looks after the whole human being. Of course, she is an incredible violinist and an amazing musician, but I also admire her as a person – she is such a strong character, yet really thoughtful and sensitive at the same time. As a younger student, I felt that many teachers would focus exclusively…

Like most teenagers, François-Xavier Roth was a dreamer. But while others formed bands in their garages and fantasised about becoming the next big thing, Roth was reading Nikolaus Harnoncourt and imagining something quite different. ‘I was always fascinated by music from different periods,’ he says, ‘but if I wanted an orchestra that could perform them all, I needed to visit several ensembles.’ Might it be possible, he wondered, to create an ensemble that could play Bach on Baroque instruments and Berio on their modern equivalents – and all in the same concert? ‘This was the idea, a chameleon-like orchestra with this curiosity for period instruments, but not from just one period, from across a very, very long time.’ And so, in 2003, Les Siècles was born. We’re chatting in Roth’s…

Composer of the Week is broadcast on Radio 3 at 12pm, Monday to Friday. Upcoming programmes as follows: 30 October – 3 November Beethoven 6-10 November Berlioz and Shakespeare 13-17 November John and Alice Coltrane 20-24 November Schubert 27 November – 1 December Rorem Blessed with film-star good looks and formidable keyboard skills, it’s little wonder that Czech composer Jan Ladislav Dussek took Europe by storm. Hobnobbing with royalty, accusations of conspiracy, scandalous affairs and bankruptcy were all part of a remarkably adventurous and colourful life that brought him to almost every corner of the continent within a relatively short period of time. Born in 1760 in Čáslav, a small town 50 miles south-east of Prague, it was during a brief apprenticeship that the teenage Dussek was talent-spotted by a…

Vilde Frang (violin) Maxim Rysanov (viola) Arcangelo/Jonathan Cohen Warner 0825646276776 Following three albums of reliably Romantic fare, Norwegian violinist Vilde Frang lent her lean and nimble technique to a recording of Mozart in 2015. The disc followed a 2012 tour of Asia with period ensemble Arcangelo conducted by Jonathan Cohen – their vibrant collaboration in the Fifth Concerto was a musical partnership that both Frang and Cohen were eager to commit to posterity. We should all be pleased that they did – and even more so that they added to the mix Ukrainian violist Maxim Rysanov in the Sinfonia Concertante, one of the few violists alive today capable of matching Frang’s impish weightlessness and expressive sense of freedom while negotiating his instrument’s more awkward fingerboard. She is crisp and Classically…

ORCHESTRAL CHOICE Rouvali finds just the right touch of magic in Mahler 2 The Philharmonia’s take on the ‘Resurrection’ under the young Finn is rather special, says David Nice Mahler Symphony No. 2 in C minor ‘Resurrection’ Mari Eriksmoen (soprano), Jennifer Johnston (mezzo-soprano); Philharmonia Orchestra & Chorus/Santtu-Matias Rouvali Signum Classics SIGCD760 81:11 mins (2 discs) Resistance was strong before I listened to a note of ‘Santtu’s Resurrection’. The new Philharmonia logo in the cover design is nasty and cheap; neither soloist is mentioned on back or front. The conductor’s track record so far has been variable, sometimes enigmatic, though the players love him and he draws a rich sound from them. And while I didn’t attend this live performance, I heard principal guest conductor Jakub Hrůša’s interpretation, which seemed to…

CHORAL & SONG CHOICE New works shine in choirmaster’s finale Nethsingha’s last St John’s album signals a bright future, says Ashutosh Khandekar New Millennium Works by James MacMillan, Judith Weir, David Nunn et al Choir of St John’s College, Cambridge/Andrew Nethsingha Signum Classics SIGCD750 73:26 mins You may have clocked Andrew Nethsingha as the choirmaster at King Charles III’s coronation, but before his Westminster appointment, he was director of music at St John’s College, Cambridge for 15 years. He shaped the choir into one of the most outstanding choral institutions in the land, and proved to be a revolutionary – he introduced female voices to the choir after 350 years of an all-male line-up. And his championing of new music has led to numerous commissions, some of which feature on…

The Marriage – The Mahlers in New York (A Novel) Joseph Horowitz Blackwater Press 225pp (pb) £13.99 What is it, biographical novel or novelised biography? There’s a difference: the first requires leaps of imagination to fill in the gaps at a high literary level, while the second needs responsible scholarship to adapt source material. Which is what Joseph Horowitz does well enough, taking the time of Gustav and Alma Mahler in New York as the cue for a bigger picture interesting to those unfamiliar with the composer’s life. There’s a danger in putting words written self consciously in reviews or memoirs into the protagonists’ mouths or minds, and the caveat about Alma’s reliability in her writings remains. The American take is also a mixed blessing: Horowitz has written extensively about…

Starting her career as a producer on BBC Three Counties Radio and later Radio 4’s Front Row, Georgia Mann now presents and produces some of the BBC’s flagship music programmes, including Essential Classics, Words and Music and In Tune on Radio 3. She been a regular presenter of the 2023 Proms, including the Last Night in September. She also blogs about parenting for HuffPost. One of my best and earliest musical memories was being driven through France from Calais to the Pyrenees in my dad’s Golf with the roof down and ‘River’ from ENNIO MORRICONE’s soundtrack to The Mission on the car stereo all the way. I was about six and it was the first time my dad and I had spent much time alone – my mum flew separately…

The pleasure of flipping through the boxes of vinyl LPs in the store was exciting and very nostalgic and, after the excitement of setting up our new player, we had the great pleasure of listening to fantastic sound quality which is second to none – so clear that it felt like the musicians were in the room. More so, the feel of opening the new vinyl, the slip of the precious record out of its sleeve, the careful placement of the record on the deck and the lift of the needle and…

Clarissa Bevilacqua Violinist Born: Milan, Italy Career highlights: So far, winning the 2020 International Mozart Competition and releasing my debut album Dream Catcher earlier this year. I also recently founded and organised DYNAMIKfest Salzburg, a new contemporary classical chamber music festival.

We reveal who’s recording what and where… Jakub Józef Orliński recorded something a little different in London recently. The star countertenor has created a Baroque album with a jazz twist, with new arrangements of pieces by Purcell, Vivaldi, Monteverdi and Handel by Aleksander Dębicz. It was recorded at Church Studios in Crouch End, with Dębicz on piano, Wojciech Gumiński on bass and Marcin Ułanowski on drums. Erato is set to release the as-yet-untitled album in late 2024. Opera Rara continues to unearth treasures by Donizetti, and its latest project will see the composer’s many songs brought to life on stage and in recordings. Eight album releases are planned in the new series, with Lawrence Brownlee joining Carlo Rizzi in the studio to record tenor songs, for release in the autumn…

Classical programming has for too long relied on past popular hits, but we must embrace the here and now if we’re to preserve the artform, says Tom Service Who decides? They do. The Programmers: self-appointed guardians of classical music tradition who meet in a James-Bond-style lair at the summit of the Matterhorn, and who ensure that a tiny selection of pieces from the past are played over and over again while works by living composers are thrown down the slopes to oblivion. The bit about the Matterhorn isn’t true (as far as I’m aware) but the question of which pieces get played opens a Pandora’s box of cultural power in which we’re all implicated. Programmers of festivals and concerts put on what they think we’re going to buy tickets for,…

Charlotte Smith Editor There was an undeniable sense of occasion in the Albert Hall for Simon Rattle’s Proms adieu as the LSO’s chief conductor. And what better swansong than Mahler’s Ninth Symphony, an epic showcase for the LSO at its vibrant best, with bright brass, lush strings and cut-glass winds. Ever the effective campaigner, Rattle began the programme with the BBC Singers in Poulenc’s Figure humaine – a perfect opportunity for the rapt audience to show its support for the temporarily reprieved ensemble. Jeremy Pound Deputy editor A space-clearing exercise at work saw me cycling home with a rucksack stuffed full of favourite CDs. Among them is the BBC Philharmonic and Juanjo Mena’s recording of Weber’s Symphonies Nos 1 & 2. Released in 2011, these wonderfully light-footed performances proved the…

CONCERTO CHOICE A cherishable final bow from Lars Vogt The late pianist sparkles in this pair of Mozart concertos, says Jessica Duchen Mozart Piano Concertos Nos 9 & 24 Orchestre de chambre de Paris/Lars Vogt (piano) Ondine ODE 1414-2 61:22 mins Some recordings acquire extra significance due to the circumstances in which they are made. This is one of them. It is the last concerto recording by Lars Vogt before his tragic death of cancer in 2022, aged 51, and it would not be possible to consider it without the resonance of that. He was already ill at the time, but maintained an attitude that mingled honesty, determination and an enhanced appreciation of the joy of music-making. All this and more comes through in this cherishable pair of Mozart concertos…

CHAMBER CHOICE Bounding Beethoven trios are a delight Nicholas Kenyon says the Sitkovetkys’ sprightly playing makes this a winner Beethoven Piano Trios, Vol. 2 – Piano Trio No. 2 in G major; Piano Trio No. 7‘Archduke’ Sitkovetsky Trio BIS BIS-2539 (CD/SACD) 80:20 mins This is a delight: sprightly, well-articulated playing which bounds with vitality. This ‘Archduke’ (dedicated to Beethoven’s patron Archduke Rudolph in 1811) starts in an almost improvisational spirit, the players gently assembling themselves before coming together in bar 14. The energy of the performance is driven by the pianist Wu Qian, absolutely attentive to all of Beethoven’s quirky markings and sudden sforzandos; the touches of rhythmic subtlety also come from the piano, just momentary holdings-back to shape a phrase or clarify a structure. There is the familiar issue…

Edward Cowie Where the Wood Thrush Forever Sings Anna Hashimoto (clarinet), Roderick Chadwick (piano) Métier MEX77104 Who knew there was a bird called the ‘Say’s Phoebe’ or the ‘Common Loon’? This two-disc survey of American ornithology is full of characters and each is brought to vivid life by Hashimoto with three different clarinets. Cowie is an endlessly inventive composer and this is a treat. (MB) Fraser-Simson Settings of AA Milne Grant Doyle (baritone), John Kember (piano) EM Records EMRCD082-83 Oodles of charm as Fraser-Simson’s inventive melodies are perfectly paired with AA Milne’s whimsical wordplay. Doyle comes off best when singing The Complete Hums of Pooh, written from the bear’s perspective; the Christopher Robin Songs are painfully twee when sung by an adult.
