Music director to bow out with a work of love
After the 2001-02 season, Jahja Ling will return to conduct two programs during each of the following three seasons.
By JOHN FLEMING TAMPA Jahja Ling will bid farewell with Mahler's Symphony No. 3 in his final concert as music director of the Florida Orchestra. "The symphony is all about love love of nature, love of mankind and love of God in the final slow movement," said Ling, who will conduct the work in April 2002. "It's just something very special to me, and every time I do it I'm very moved by it." Today, the orchestra releases its 2001-02 masterworks schedule. In addition to being Ling's farewell season, in which he will conduct seven programs, it will also feature five guest conductors being considered to succeed him as music director. They include Michael Christie, a young American who will return for his second engagement with the orchestra to open the season in September; Russian conductors Pavel Kogan and Dmitry Sitkovetsky; Stefan Sanderling, a German whose father, Kurt Sanderling, was conductor of the Leningrad Philharmonic; and Theo Alcantara, former music director of the Bilbao Symphony in Spain and the Phoenix Symphony in Arizona.

Utrecht, 14 April 2002
French pianist Jean Dubé triumphs convincingly in 6th Liszt Competition The prizes were presented after the final round of the Competition, on Saturday evening 13 April in the Vredenburg Music Centre, Utrecht. Enclosed: Curriculum Vitae Jean Dubé JEAN DUBÉ
Twenty-one years old Jean Dubé has been playing piano since the age of five as a soloist and a chamber musician, has performed with philharmonic orchestras and has appeared on television and radio in France and abroad (Canada, Japan, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Netherlands, Ireland, Hungary, Rumania, Czechoslovakia…) He has participated in numerous international music festivals (Steinway, Lanaudière, Messiaen, Jeune Soliste d'Antibes, Nuits pianistiques d'Aix-en-Provence, Gershwin Marathon, Chopin à Bagatelle, Bosendorfer, Pierrefonds…).

Main Other Fine Arts htmlAdWH('7002326', '234', '60'); Vancouver Symphony Orchestra presents The Russian Romantics and Mozart Russian Romantics by Roxanne Davies The Russian Romantics launched the Tea and Trumpets series at The Orpheum. An acquaintance once asked me "Who goes to listen to the symphony in the afternoon?" If the numbers last Wednesday, October 7th, proved anything, quite a few people like to spend a Fall afternoon in the august splendor of The Orpheum taking in an afternoon of classical music. From the very first words he spoke, host Otto Lowy , well known as the host of CBC's radio program The Transcontinental , wove a colorful narrative to bring his appreciative audience under the spell of the .music of Tchaikovsky, Glinka, Khachaturian and Glazunov. Romanticism favors full expression of the emotions and free spontaneous action rather than restraint and order. And as we imagined drinking Russian tea in a glass, sipping through a cube of sugar, we listened to the pas de deux from Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake. Melodic and gentle, it is also an example of how folk songs make their way into various composers music. A beautiful waltz from Eugene Onegin also highlighted song-like melodies of the waltz, building to an exuberant crescendo, the violins fired up to match the dueling pistols in the sad tale of Onegin.

Average review score: Good quality recording but arguable selection I'm afraid I cannot rate this CD with more than 3 stars because although the recording quality of this edition is quite good by nowadays standards, the selection of the music does not reflect its title. I was expecting more "well known" tunes, more classical styles represented.

The Madison Symphony Orchestra welcomes guest conductor Janna Hymes-Bianchi, who will lead the orchestra in four very different works, three of which are heard for the first time at these concerts. The program opens with The Chairman Dances , an excerpt from John Adams’s landmark opera Nixon in China . Pianist Janina Fialkowska will then join us on stage for a performance of Chopin’s brilliant Concerto No.2 . From Chopin’s thoroughly Romantic music, we move to an Impressionistic masterpiece by Debussy, the Petite Suite . To close the concert, we have Shostakovich’s Symphony No.9 , a work whose bright and sunny disposition contrasts sharply with the dark time in which it was composed.

This unusual event was a highlight of my year. It's for pianists who are over 35 and out of practice: no professionals allowed. Contestants play purely for the love of it. The pianists who come, about a hundred of them, are from dozens of countries and all walks of life: the chemist from Japan; the Brazilian ambassador; the blackjack dealer from Reno; the autoglass repairman, surgeon, lawyer, numismatist, masseur, assistant manager from Starbuck's, flight attendant... What a dazzling array of human interest. On stage, settling down at the gleaming Steinway concert grand, they glowed like 500-watt bulbs, and the audience was on the edge of their seats, hanging on every note. Music for the pure, unalloyed joy of it. Great stuff. I've always felt that part of the fun in being a true amateur comes from the mistakes, and the excitement in not knowing how well you might do. Professionalism (suggesting perfectionism) kills that spontaneity. Anyway, you might as well learn to love those pesky mistakes. Even Franz Liszt hit a few clams from time to time, but he didn't call them mistakes: he called them “uninvited guests,” and always tried to make them feel right at home.

The Handel Messiah Project
The idea of creating a Messiah recording for the benefit of designated charities was discussed informally after a church service at Rockway Mennonite Church, Kitchener, Ontario, in January 1994. A project team emerged that was able to secure the voluntary participation of internationally recognized Canadian soloists and conductor. An outstanding ensemble of choir and orchestra was assembled, and Consort Caritatis was born. Two beneficiaries were selected for the project: the Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) and Habitat for Humanity. Eight months after the idea was first proposed, The Gift of Messiah CD became a reality in an intensive recording session at the Glenn Gould Studio in Toronto. Henriette Schellenberg (soprano), Catherine Robbin (mezzo-soprano), Paul Frey (tenor) and Daniel Lichti (bass-baritone) with choir and orchestra were conducted by Howard Dyck in the recording of excerpts of Handel's Messiah . The CD went on to receive critical acclaim internationally and achieve sales to date of 20,000, outstanding by any measure. The project has made possible donations of more than $125,000 to its beneficiaries.
