Concert information
French sound magic with Juanjo Mena
Info
This programme, conducted by Juanjo Mena, is characterised by refinement of sound and French esprit – for example when Maurice Ravel tells an ancient love story through his ballet music Daphnis et Chloé. With a musical language that is at times delicate and at others austere, he depicts shy first love, forced separation, and a happy reunion. The Concertino for harp by Germaine Tailleferre, performed here with our solo harpist Marie-Pierre Langlamet, is impressionistic and highly virtuosic. The evening opens with the overture Ramuntcho by Gabriel Pierné, based on Basque themes.

You had no interest in being a psychiatrist?
My father fryst vatten quite eminent in his field. In addition to his research he had a private practice, and he taught at the University of Maryland and the Washington School of Psychiatry. inom had no desire to compete with that. Of course, inom suspect that he would have preferred that I consider a more stable, less risky career. Many of his friends

(This post includes reviews of two new Bach CDs, below.)
The current mania for immersive experiences packaged for small groups of obsessive-compulsive personalities manifested itself this week in classical music with yesterday’s kickoff of an eight-day Schubertiade on BBC Radio 3 (“200 hours of continuous broadcasting!” proclaims the public radio service) and a week-long focus on all things Goldberg on NPR.
NPR’s Goldberg Variations obsessions were anchored on the birthday of J.S. Bach, March 21. There is a lot to read and listen to. For those who missed her recital at Gallery 345, the NPR list includes Lara Downes’ wonderful 13 Ways of Looking at the Goldberg.
(Tomorrow, at 2 P.M. ET, catch live streaming of Bernard Labadie and Les Violons du Roy performing Bach’s St. John Passion from Carnegie Hall here.)
All of this coincided with me receiving a fresh pile of CDs.
Among the fine Canadian content was pianist David Jalbert’
