Fali Pavri is the current Head of Keyboard at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. As well as being a sought-after teacher, his international career sees him performing as both soloist and chamber musician; premiering many new contemporary works by distinguished composers including Giles Swayne and Howard Skempton; recording for the Guild and Delphian labels and sitting on the jury of many international piano competitions. In this episode, Fali talks all things conservatoires, competitions, and teachers that live off their students' reputations. I also ask him how he came to end up touring with Rostropovich, and he recounts his rather unique encounter with Horowitz…Fali's links:Fali Pavri: official websiteRoyal Conservatoire of ScotlandThis episode was recorded in October 2023.-------------------Follow The Classical Circuit on InstagramDid you enjoy this episode?

Kate Molleson travels to Paris to join Olivier Latry, titular organist of Notre-Dame Cathedral, as he reflects on the possibilities of making music outside the iconic building following 2019's devastating blaze. He describes how the spirit of the cathedral has seeped into musicianship as well as its absence while the basilica is rebuilt and its congregation worship at a different site, as well as his hopes for the musical life of the building after it reopens in 2024, and how performing in religious ceremonies differs from recitals in concert halls. Kate is joined by the musicologist Roger Nichols whose new book, 'From Berlioz to Boulez', surveys the story of French musical history through the country's most important composers. The French music expert Caroline Potter shares her thoughts on Nichols' new tome too. Music Matters learns about a new archive of contemporary repertoire, commissioned by the Royal Academy of Music for students and people consulting their website, called 200 Pieces. We hear from 3 composers who've written material especially for the modern-day compilation: Helen Grime, Howard Skempton and Daniel Kidane. And Betto Arcos, whose journalism focusses on Latin American music, tells Kate about his favourite Mexican Christmas music traditions, including the rituals of Las Posadas, La Rama, and the villancicos which has echoed across Oaxaca Cathedral's interior since the time of the conquistadors.

Isaac Newton's 'Truth is ever to be found in simplicity...' has often been echoed in music by many of the great composers down the ages. But during the 20th and 21st centuries, akin to movements in the visual arts, some composers have pared down their music to a few seemingly basic elements. But how difficult is it to achieve meaningful musical simplicity and what's the difference between that and mind-numbingly banal simple-is-as-simple-does? With the help of composer Howard Skempton and Tate Modern curator Emma Lewis, Tom Service discovers the hard and often complex truths about simplicity. David Papp (producer)
