Interpreten: Sophie Dervaux, La Folia BarockorchesterLabel: Berlin ClassicsEAN: 885470037240Die Fagottistin Sophie Dervaux hat sich vorgenommen, alle Fagott Konzerte von Antonio Vivaldi auf CD aufzunehmen. Vielleicht kein Monstervorhaben, so als ob man alle 241 Violinkonzerte aufnehmen wollte, aber immerhin liegen die Werke für Fagott als Soloinstrument mit 39 bzw. 37 vollständig überlieferten schon an zweiter Stelle. Vor wenigen Tagen ist die zweite Folge der geplanten Gesamt-Reihe erschienen.Nach dem Vivaldi, ist vor dem Vivaldi. So oder so ähnlich muss es sich für die Fagottistin Sophie Dervaux anfühlen. Zumindest was ihre Aufnahmetätigkeit als Solistin betrifft. Mit Vivaldi Bassoon Concerti setzt sie nun mit sieben weiteren Konzerten ihre Reihe fort, und hat somit quasi ein Drittel aller Konzerte im Kasten. Auch hier spielt die philharmonische Solofagottistin auf einem modernen Instrument, sie ist ja seit 2014 Püchner-Künstlerin, während ihr ein herausragend besetztes Ensemble an historischem Instrumentarium zur Seite steht. Das ist jedoch in keinster Weise ihrer Ablehnung gegenüber historischen Fagotten geschuldet, im Gegenteil hat sie sich selbst sehr intensiv mit dem Spiel auf historischen Instrumenten beschäftigt. Nein, das moderne Fagott erlaubt ihr, sich der historischen Spielweise auf zeitgemäße Art anzunähern. Robin Peter Müller und seine Musikerinnen und Musiker von La Folia legen Sophie Dervaux einmal mehr ein perfekt abgestimmtes Klangbett, in das sie ihren feinen Fagottklang legen kann. Hochvirtuos spielt sich die Fagottistin durch sieben Konzerte von Antonio Vivaldi, mit den großen Sprüngen von hohen ins tiefe Register, mit den vielen Läufen und unterschiedlichsten Klangfarben. Schon alleine beim Anhören dieser sieben Konzerte ist die angebliche Aussage Strawinskys über die 500 immergleichen Konzerte Vivaldis nicht nachvollziehbar. Farblich und rhythmisch kontrastreich kommen sie daher, mal lyrisch und gesanglich, dann wieder aggressiv und stürmisch. Ich freue mich schon auf März 26, wenn wir wohl die nächste Ausgabe erwarten dürfen! (mg)

Eine schlichte Melodie, über die dann improvisiert wurde, sorgte im 17. Jahrhundert für Begeisterung. "La Folia" erschien in unzähligen Bearbeitungen. Das Ensemble Concerto 1700 führt virtuos in Salons und Palazzi, aber auch auf Straßen und in Tavernen.

En este episodio, alumnos del tercer semestre de la Licenciatura en Música de la UAA nos hablarán sobre la folia, un baile popular por su ritmo y su manera de interpretar que surgió desde el renacimiento y continuó en el periodo barroco

Anexos al abecé de la música popular de Brasil en forma de compilaciones. Intervienen: Lasse Farnlof & His Orchestra, Bert Rosengren, Bengt Hallberg, Bob Azzam, Agneta Baumann, Idress Sulieman, Anita Strandell, Solar Plexus, Putte Wickman, Bernt Dahlaback y Nils Sandstrom. Escuchar audio

Im Exil fern der russischen Heimat schrieb Rachmaninow seine sogenannten Corelli-Variationen op. 42. Tatsächlich stammt das Thema aber gar nicht von Arcangelo Corelli. Unter dem Namen "La Folia" war es im Barock ein weit verbreiteter, populärer Tanz. Folia heißt eigentlich Wahnsinn. Gemeint war damit überdrehtes, ausgelassenes Feiern. Viele Komponisten schrieben in der Barockzeit Variationen über dieses Thema, auch Corelli, von dem es Rachmaninow übernahm. Der aber macht aus dem barocken Tanz eine melancholische Reise durch spätromantische Gefühlwelten - virtuos, klangverliebt und schwelgerisch. Für Igor Levit war das Stück übrigens Anlass zu einem ziemlich heftigen Streit mit seinem Lehrer ...

Synopsis On today’s date in 1825, the Italian composer Antonio Salieri breathed his last in Vienna. Gossip circulated that in his final dementia, Salieri blabbed something about poisoning Mozart. Whether he meant it figuratively or literally, or even said anything of the sort, didn’t seem to matter and the gossip became a Romantic legend. Modern food detectives suggested that if Mozart WAS poisoned, an undercooked pork chop might be to blame… In one of his last letters to his wife, Mozart mentions his anticipation of feasting on a fat chop his cook had secured for his dinner! Twenty-five years after Salieri’s death, on today’s date in 1850, the Austro-Hungarian conductor Anton Seidl was born in Budapest. Seidl became a famous conductor of both the Metropolitan Opera and New York Philharmonic. It was Seidl who conducted the premiere of Dvorak’s “New World” Symphony. In 1898, at the age of just 47, Seidl died suddenly, apparently from ptomaine poisoning. Perhaps it was the shad roe he ate at home, or that sausage from Fleischmann’s restaurant? An autopsy revealed serious gallstone and liver ailments, so maybe Seidl’s last meal, whatever it might have been, was as innocent of blame as poor old Salieri.

Seguimos la saga de Gregorio Paniagua. En 1995 publicó un disco con Rita Marley y Nacho Scola titulado "Spectacles for Tribufalos". De él se extrajo el temna "Navigation" en una remezcla espectacular con Las Hijas del Sol y decenas de invitados más. Volvemos a Atrium Musicae en su primer disco lejos de Hispavox "La Folia de la Spagna" de 1982 donde debuta un joven portento, Andreas Prittwitz. Oimos la cara b completa. Ese mismo año Andreas, Luis y Eduardo Paniagua se unen a Luis Delgado y Jesús Greus para crear el grupo Babia, cuyo único elepé "Oriente - Occidente" marca el inicio en España de una nueva línea expresiva precursora de los ritmos étnicos. Oimos cuatro canciones del mismo. Para el final, un fragmento de "Neptuno" de Luis Paniagua, grabado para el sello El Cometa de Madrid, del que hablaremos más el próximo lunes.  Este finde Discopolis jazz a la misma hora.

Works for string orchestra and voice by Meder and Vivaldi performed by A Far Cry and Amanda Forsythe, soprano on November 16, 2014.Meder: Sonata di Battaglia from Die bestandige ArgeniaVivaldi: Sonata a tre "La Folia" Op. 1 No. 12Vivaldi: Nulla in mundo pax sincera, RV 630On this podcast, we feature three pieces from A Far Cry’s recent program of Baroque works, titled “Obsession.” Each of the works is bursting with relentless passion, though it is directed at very different subjects, for very different reasons.In the first piece, Johann Meder’s Sonata di Battaglia, that alternates between aggressive, military-like marches and tender, reflective passages, perhaps depicting the characters’ mixed emotions at setting off for the battlefield.Next comes Vivaldi’s variations on the famous Spanish theme “La Folia,” a tune that was a common test of a composer’s mettle. The piece gets wilder as it progresses, demanding ever more virtuosic playing from the featured violinists.We close out the podcast with a piece featuring A Far Cry’s special guest for this concert, soprano Amanda Forsythe, in another Vivaldi work—his motet Nulla in mundo pax sincera. An ode to the bliss of heaven, the piece scorns the pains and empty pleasures of earth. Forsythe tackles the dazzling vocal passagework with delicious enthusiasm, and A Far Cry is with her every step of the way.

  PART 1: LATE TO THE PARTY Andres Segovia. Even the mention of his name elicits tones of hushed reverence in certain circles. But in the 70’s, there was a backlash against the style of playing that Segovia popularized. I began my guitar studies at a time when the guitar world was reassessing Segovia’s legacy. As a result, I was a latecomer to recognizing the genius of Andres Segovia.   Recordings: David Russell, Capriccio Arabe by Fransisco Tárrega from Reflections of Spain “Ding Dong the Witch is Dead” from The Wizard of Oz Oscar Ghiglia, “Allegro Moderato” from Sonata III by Manuel Ponce from Ponce Guitar Collection Volume 3 Theme Music: Matthew Cochran, “Cicadas at the Equinox” from Vapor Trail from a Paper Plane   Commercial Break: Season Sponsor, Strings By Mail Music Bed: Pat Metheny, “Fast” from Electric Counterpoint by Steve Reich   PART 2: SEGOVIA ON RECORD Approaching Segovia’s recordings requires that you set aside a few modern expectations. We’re used to hearing music that’s been created in pristine conditions—soundproof booths, advanced microphone technology, digital editing software, etc. Segovia came along at a time when recorded music was just getting started. On his 1920’s recordings, you’re hearing the guy through a ribbon microphone with no processing, no reverb, very few edits, if any at all. What you’re hearing is just him. It’s basically a live performance captured on the best sound equipment available at the time.   Recordings: Andrés Segovia, Recuerdos de la Alhambra by Francisco Tàrrega from The Art of Segovia Andrés Segovia, “Allegro Con Spirito” from Guitar Sonata Op 77, “Omaggio a Boccherini” by Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco from The Art of Andres Segovia Vol. 5 Andrés Segovia, “Canción” from Suite Compostelana by Frederic Mompou, from The Segovia Collection Andrés Segovia, Sevillana by Joaquín Turina from The Art of Segovia Lionel Loueke, “Ami-O” from Mwaliko   PART 3: A GUITARIST WITH A MISSION STATEMENT…THAT’S RIGHT, A MISSION STATEMENT Nicholas Goluses talks about Segovia’s vision for the guitar. Nick is Professor of Guitar at the Eastman School of Music. He’s been there for over 20 years now and in that time has racked up enough awards and honors to fill up his own garage and maybe yours and mine as well. Oh, and he’s a total badass guitar player.   Recordings: Nicholas Goluses, Variations and Fugue on La Folia d’España by Manuel Ponce from From Afar John Williams, “Allegro Preciso” from Concerto for Guitar & Small Orchestra by Heitor Villa-Lobos. English Chamber Orchestra conducted by Daniel Barenboim.   Commercial Break: Peghead Nation Music bed: Punch Brothers, “Flippen” from Who’s Feeling Young Now?   PART 4: GRAN TORINO, OR GET YOUR FILTHY HANDS OFF MY FINGERINGS Segovia had a hands-on approach when it came to commissioning pieces from composers. We talk about Segovia’s fruitful and affectionate relationship with the Mexican composer Manuel Ponce, and the collaboration between the two.   For die-hard enthusiasts and aspiring professional classical guitarists, THE way to learn Segovia’s approach was to play for him in a masterclass. But that could get a bit dicey. The old guy could be cantankerous, especially if you didn’t cotton to his ideas. There’s a certain poignancy to all of this that, a lot of times, gets missed in the conversation. Yeah, Segovia was a bully. And, yeah, he had a tendency to be snobbish and dictatorial about his approach to the guitar. But you know, through his efforts to popularize the guitar as a respected concert instrument, he created a necessary reaction against his own vision of beauty. We hear from David Foster Wallace’s 2005 commencement address titled “This is Water”, and ask some fundamental questions about the responsibility inherent in artistic life to think independently.    But thankfully, some of those people who cultivated their own vision of beauty continue to draw from Segovia’s enormous well. Nicholas Goluses has the last word about how his approach to the guitar has changed over the years, and how that approach is at least partially influenced by Segovia.   Recordings: Andrés Segovia, “Allegro Moderato” from Sonata Romantica by Manuel Ponce, from Andrés Segovia, Dedication Andrés Segovia, “Gavotte en Rondeau” from Violin Partita in E Major, BWV 1006 by Johann Sebastian Bach, from The Art of Andrés Segovia David Foster Wallace, “This is Water” Andrés Segovia, “Asturias” from Suite Española No 1, Op 47 from The American Decca Recordings   Videos referenced: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJrEl4Nsmsg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWA0HEOFHpo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2xh0YW1R4o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNjNXuGQaAE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVV10Higj9E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiAbqfaYGwk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aINpJzg5Bs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GY3i8EqYPA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OFXIG_3P40 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nXJ744velc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-69wdduiOE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_neeq6ObEM&spfreload=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZDA1crTi9A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxWCYLLZRNw

We would be bragging, of course, but it is surely excusable to put the best possible face on at the beginning of such an acquaintance." (Lewis Thomas) "Mozart tells us what it's like to be human, Beethoven tells us what it's like to be Beethoven, and Bach tells us what it's like to be the universe." (Douglas Adams)A conversation with multi-instrumentalist and early music specialist David Douglass about his groundbreaking research and performances on the early arm-held violin. Includes "Prelude" by David Mell and "Variations on La Folia" by Michael Farinell from David Douglass's album "Apollo's Banquet," and the King's Noyse performance of "Half Hanniken" from "Royal Delight."total playing time: 1:06:06 SUBSCRIBE TO THIS PODCAST ON I-TUNES! Would you like to be featured on Violin Adventures?
