It started with Beethoven Cello and Piano Sonata. The piano has a prominent role in these sonatas of Beethoven. It was followed by a Sonata of Kodaly which made a nice contrast. After the interval, the two performers ventured into a very modern composition by Lehmann. It explored new dimensions of the cello and showed a most unusual interplay between the piano and cello. It was most intriguing - perhaps not easy - to listen to and must have been very difficult to play especially the timing of the interplay between the 2 instruments. It was rounded off by a gentle romantic Sonata by Mendelssohn. Everybody could go home with a smile on their faces!

Extractions: click on any cover to go directly to its review FIELD: Piano Concertos 5 And 6. Benjamin Frith, piano. Northern Sinfonia conducted by David Haslam. Naxos 8.554221 It must have been hard to live as a composer in the late Eighteenth and early Nineteenth century; after all your peers were Beethoven and Schubert! Such was the plight of the Irish-born composer John Field (1782-1837). On the other hand, Field had a successful career as a pianist. Not of the virtuoso Liszttian ilk, but rather one whose strength was color and sensitivity of touch. These characteristics emerge in Field's Fifth and Sixth Piano Concertos, The Fifth (1817) has the subtitle 'fire by lightning,' but the source of the title is unknown. It opens with a resounding Beethoven-like chord, but the music that follows more closely resembles the piano concertos of Chopin. The piano's role emphasizes delicate nuances, sonorous and intricate melodies, convincingly played by Benjamin Frith. The orchestral passages appropriately contrast the piano's role with drama and tension. The work brims with felicitous melodies and dramatic flourishes that engage the mind and heart. The Sixth Piano Concerto (1819) opens with a stately orchestral introduction that extends into an engaging 20 minute dialogue between piano and orchestra. A lovely, delicate larghetto is followed by an energetic but finely spun rondo. These concertos combine the drama and tension of Beethoven with the lyric delicacy of Chopin. Both are immensely enjoyable: they express the exuberant spirit of a composer who knew and loved the piano. Benjamin Frith plays with the freshness of discovery and wit that serve the composer perfectly. The Northern Sinfonia accompanies enthusiastically and the sound is clear and close, slightly wanting in reverberation. Those wanting to explore Field further are advised to try his Nocturnes, lovely, engaging pieces that admirably predate those of Chopin.

KAPRALOVA SOCIETY a recital by the pianist jenny lin; on Friday another pianist (and composer http://www.kapralova.org/REVIEW_0102.htm
Extractions: The Formosa Chamber Music Society presented a brilliantly impressive recital by the young Taiwanese-born American pianist, Jenny Lin at Weill Hall on October 25. [...] Not only was her recital commandingly played; it was both substantial repertoire-wise, and pianistically daunting as well! April Preludes, Op. 13, a set of four preludes composed in 1937 by the short lived Vitezslava Kapralova [1915-1940], a holdover from Ms. Lin's recital at Miller Theatre, launched the evening in auspicious fashion. These Kapralova pieces again impressed as music of substantial beauty and emotional weight, all the more so when played with such warmth, organic integrity and sincerity. When confronted with unfamiliar music, this writer is always tempted to look for ways to pigeonhole it with more famous fare (I was thinking of a synthesis of Szymanowski and Prokofiev, but had to concede that Kapralova marched to her own drummer). [...] The capacity audience was brilliantly enthusiastic and for very good reason. This was a memorable concert.

Extractions: Mariss Jansons is a survivor. In 1995 he was tapped as the Pittsburgh Symphony's music director, only to suffer a severe heart attack onstage while conducting his other orchestra, the Oslo Philharmonic. A second attack struck five weeks later. After a dramatic personal rebound, he went on to raise the artistic profile of Pittsburgh to new heights. Then, last fall, as the orchestra was facing a $3 million deficit and talks of bankruptcy, Jansons donated $100,000 as a challenge grant to attract new donors. Now, as he is preparing to leave Pittsburgh and become music director of Amsterdams Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, the orchestra appears to be on solid footing. He joins us today for a conversation about his dynamic career.

Extractions: Ruth Crawford Seeger Ruth Crawford Seeger (1901-1953) is considered by many to be the most significent American female composer of the 20th Century. Jenny Lins stunning new recording of the piano music of Ruth Crawford Seeger (1901-1953) again raises an intriguing, if unanswerable, question. Had Seeger not abandoned her composing career Jenny Lin early, would she have matured into Americas first major woman composer, an artistic force regarded as an equal with Copland, Barber or even Stravinsky? What is known is this: In 1931, after a composing career that spanned barely nine years, Seeger composed her stunningly original String Quartet, an undisputed masterpiece of 20th century avant garde music. The next year, she married her teacher, Charles Seeger, which was followed a year later by the birth of her first child, Michael. In 1933, she stopped composing and turned instead to the task of teaching music to children and of collecting, transcribing, arranging, and publishing folk songs projects she would continue until her untimely death from cancer at the age of fifty-two. As a composer, she is remembered today as a member of the 1920s musical avant garde, who left a small but impressive body of original music, and was the first woman to be awarded the Guggenheim Fellowship Award for Music. Her other legacy extends into folk music. Collaborating with the famous folk song collectors, John and Alan Lomax in the 1930s, she emerged as a central figure in the American folk music revival, pioneering the use of American folk songs in the children's music education. Radicalized by the Depression, she spent much of the next two decades working for cultural change, along with her husband and her stepson, the folk singer-activist, Pete Seeger. Her three books of songs for children have been in print since the early 1950s and they will continue to be classics.

Extractions: If you should find yourself in Helsinki this week (and who hasnt on occasion), dont miss the premiere of Einojuhani Rautavaara's new opera, Rasputin , at the Finnish National Opera. Rautavaara, the leading Finnish composer of his generation. Says he has long been fascinated by the charismatic mysticism of the illiterate peasant turned court confidant, whose colorful life ended in poison, bullets and the ultimate destruction of the Imperial family. The composer was finally spurred on to create the opera by the recent publication of Edvard Radzinsky's book that includes the transcripts of police interrogations with Rasputin which "almost begged to be set as a libretto". "The key word to the libretto is ambivalence; Rasputin was a mysterious peasant, a muzhik, who was deeply religious, a fervent Christian and ascetic, almost a prophet but on the other hand the very incarnation of corruption and debauchery, a drunk, and if rumors are to be believed also the Tsarina's lover and counsellor whose advice ruined the entire country, Rautavaara writes. However, it does not seem appropriate to create merely a realistic stage play, a re-enactment of history or a recreation of an episode. There must also be a presence of profound Russian mysticism, the 'wind from Siberia' which can be sensed in the existentialism of Dostoevsky or the dolorous pessimism of Tchaikovsky."
