Pre-Order The Arts Desk reviews Jamie Barton’s Wigmore Hall debut and her new All Who Wander recording: “This was her Wigmore Hall debut, more or less coinciding with the release of her first CD of songs by Mahler, Dvořák and Sibelius, entitled All Who Wander. The album has a linking theme, as explained in Barton’s…
My last full day in London was to be filled with other meetings, all of them pleasurable and/or surprising. First stop was to see our friends at Music Sales on Berners Street, the publishing group, and where several of us enjoyed a nice coffee and conversation. Next stop was to meet violinist Philippa Mo, one…
Wednesday was to be my busiest day, navigating greater London’s public transport system for several meetings, and my 6AM alarm shook me from a deep sleep. Waterloo Station in early morning is one mad place and makes Grand Central look a bit twee. As I was fighting upstream in a river of London-bound commuters, finding…
Briefly: what a day. April 23rd was one of those days I wish could be bottled and saved. It started, however, with sleeplessness. Mark and Gail have two dwarf hamsters that decided that 4AM was an ideal time to go wild on their wheel, climbing up and down their squeaky cage. Who would have thought…
Morning with my friends in Clerkenwell, breakfast and conversation. First stop in the day is a visit to the folks at Wildkat PR, who are promoting Klara Min’s Wigmore debut, and who happen to have new offices on Roseberry Ave, just a few blocks from Gail and Mark. Nice meeting with Kat Alder and her…
I write from a Caffe Nero just off Farringdon Road, before I pay a visit to the folks at Wildkat PR. It’s always satisfying to arrive in Europe early in the morning but I think I surprised my friends Gail and Mark – who are kind enough to host me for part of this trip…
Departure I write this from a JFK terminal bar, awaiting my flight to Heathrow via Dublin. It occurs to me that I haven’t been to Ireland – which happens to be my ancestral home and which I’ve visited five times – in 12 years. Back in the 90s the Celtic Tiger couldn’t seem to be…
Well, not exactly; but now that we’ve got your attention, please know that the musical wizardry of TWO distinguished Delos recording artists WILL, indeed, soon be heard at Wigmore Hall – like, next week! Rapidly emerging Korean-American pianist Klara Min – whose debut recording for Delos (Chopin Mazurkas – DE 3443) was released just last…
Chopin Mazurkas artist Klara Min gets a feature in Musical Opinion Magazine for her upcoming Wigmore Hall Debut. She’ll also be premiering a work from upcoming Delos composer Sean Hickey!
Last week we told you about Dmitri Hvorostovsky’s anniversary performance at Wigmore Hall, so today we thought we’d share some of the reactions and write-ups from the performance. From the “Intermezzo” blog: “Unlike most singers of Russian, even native ones, his diction is clear enough for even a lousy speaker like me to follow. Words…
Tomorrow marks the 20th Anniversary of Dmitri Hvorostovsky’s debut performance in Wigmore Hall. The final of the BBC Cardiff Singer of the World is still the most talked about in history. Few who were present will ever forget the competition between Hvorostovsky and and the Welsh singer Bryn Terfel. The “Battle of the Baritones” ended…
