Download or read book A Portrait in Four Movements written by Andrew Patner and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2019-04-19 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Playing in an orchestra in an intelligent way is the best school for democracy.”—Daniel Barenboim The Chicago Symphony Orchestra has been led by a storied group of conductors. And from 1994 to 2015, through the best work of Daniel Barenboim, Pierre Boulez, Bernard Haitink, and Riccardo Muti, Andrew Patner was right there. As a classical music critic for the Chicago Sun-Times and WFMT radio, Patner was able to trace the arc of the CSO’s changing repertories, all while cultivating a deep rapport with its four principal conductors. This book assembles Patner’s reviews of the concerts given by the CSO during this time, as well as transcripts of his remarkable radio interviews with these colossal figures. These pages hold tidbits for the curious, such as Patner’s “driving survey” that playfully ranks the Maestri he knew on a scale of “total comfort” to “fright level five,” and the observation that Muti appears to be a southpaw on the baseball field. Moving easily between registers, they also open revealing windows onto the sometimes difficult pasts that brought these conductors to music in the first place, including Boulez’s and Haitink’s heartbreaking experiences of Nazi occupation in their native countries as children. Throughout, these reviews and interviews are threaded together with insights about the power of music and the techniques behind it—from the conductors’ varied approaches to research, preparing scores, and interacting with other musicians, to how the sound and personality of the orchestra evolved over time, to the ways that we can all learn to listen better and hear more in the music we love. Featuring a foreword by fellow critic Alex Ross on the ethos and humor that informed Patner’s writing, as well as an introduction and extensive historical commentary by musicologist Douglas W. Shadle, this book offers a rich portrait of the musical life of Chicago through the eyes and ears of one of its most beloved critics.

Download or read book Life with Glorious John written by Evelyn Rothwell and published by Robson Books Limited. This book was released on 2002 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The late Sir John Barbirolli (1899-1970) is still regarded as one of the most accomplished conductors of all time. In 1939 John married Evelyn Rothwell, the oboist whose collection of anecdotes and impressions from her memories of life with John are wonderfully woven together here in this book. Evelyn recalls John's humble origins, which she juxtaposes with her own childhood and follows the making of Sir John's career with the events of his personal life. Life with Glorious John offers a unique insight into the life and mind of a celebrated conductor. Barbarolli's impression upon 20th century musical life is extrordinary and Evelyn's intimate portrait brings his contribution to classical music vividly to life.

Book excerpt: "Each week during the concert season, the PBS series Evening at Symphony, produced by WGBH TV Boston, brings the music of a great symphony orchestra to thousands of homes across the country. The Boston Symphony Orchestra, which performs these programs, epitomizes the fascination and the achievement of a remarkable musical institution. Since its inception in 1881 under the auspices of Major Henry Lee Higginson, the orchestra has reached out through recordings and television to an ever-growing national and international audience. The artistic aim remains what it has always been--the making of music. All symphony orchestras represent both a cultural investment and big business. Typically, more than 100 people play in the Orchestra year-round and their activities cover a wide spectrum of musical events--regular program series in Symphony Hall, the springtime Pops and summer Tanglewood concerts, concert tours, recording sessions, special chamber music concerts, and the filming and producing of Evening at Symphony. This handsomely illustrated volume takes the reader backstage at the BSO to discover for himself the history of the institution, the famous conductors, the musicians, the interaction of audience and performers, the special lore of this highly gifted group of people--in short, all the elements that are essential to the life of a major performing orchestra." --Dust jacket flap.

Download or read book The Late Starters Orchestra written by Ari L. Goldman and published by Algonquin Books. This book was released on 2014-06-10 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a cluttered room in an abandoned coat factory in lower Manhattan, a group of musicians comes together each week to make music. Some are old, some are young, all have come late to music or come back to it after a long absence. This is the Late Starters Orchestra--the bona fide amateur string orchestra where Ari Goldman pursues his lifelong dream of playing the cello. Goldman hadn’t seriously picked up his cello in twenty-five years, but the Late Starters (its motto, If you think you can play, you can) seemed just the right orchestra for this music lover whose busy life had always gotten in the way of its pursuit. In The Late Starters Orchestra, Goldman takes us along to LSO rehearsals and lets us sit in on his son’s Suzuki lessons, where we find out that children do indeed learn differently from adults. He explores history’s greatest cellists and also attempts to understand what motivates his fellow late starters, amateurs all, whose quest is for joy, not greatness. And when Goldman commits to playing at his upcoming birthday party we wonder with him whether he’ll be good enough to perform in public. To the rescue comes the ghost of Goldman’s first cello teacher, the wise and eccentric Mr. J, who continues to inspire and guide him--about music and more--through this well-tuned journey. With enchanting illustrations by Eric Hanson, The Late Starters Orchestra is about teachers and students, fathers and sons, courage and creativity, individual perseverance and the power of community. And Ari Goldman has a message for anyone who has ever had a dream deferred: it’s never too late to find happiness on one’s own terms.

Download or read book Portrait of Walton written by Michael Kennedy and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1989 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Displaced by Britten and later by Tippett after failing to fulfill the promise of his early masterpieces, composer William Walton was once regarded as a promising experimentalist and successor to Elgar. Here, Kennedy illuminates the complex and contradictory personality of Walton, whose moods ranged from self-critical, depressive, and jealous to witty, generous, and forgiving. Drawing on the composer's correspondence with friends and colleagues--including Britten, Malcolm Arnold, and Andr Previn, and assessing his compositions, Kennedy provides a compassionate and perceptive study of the life and music of this notable twentieth-century artist.
