Rihm's music defies categorization - reviewers struggle to define these works with catch-phrases such as 'early modernism, post-modernism, post-Darmstadt, post-serialist, a kind of utopian newness, post- Cagean spartanist.'

Par PANUFNIK ROXANNA. When the London International Festival of Early Music came to me with a commission to write a solo harpsichord piece for Jane Chapman, they asked me to relate the new piece to Byrd, as it’s the 400th anniversary of his death, this year. Jane introduced me to Byrd’s arrangement of Dowland’s wonderful Pavana Lachrymae (‘Pavan of tears’) – a piece of many layers but simple and e…

Par FAURE GABRIEL. With this early cycle (1863/64), Fauré follows in the footsteps of Mendelssohn's “Lieder ohne Worte” (Songs without Words) whilst at the same time enrolling into the French tradition of the “Romance sans paroles” as penned by composers such as Thalberg, Kalkbrenner, Gounod or Bizet before him. It was not until 1880 that the pieces, the first of his piano works, appeared in print…

Italian composer Nicola Vaccai (1790-1848) was known for his operas in his day, but today is remembered as a master voice teacher. Vaccai composed these exercises for training the classical voice, extending range and increasing agility, breath support, and all other technical issues of singing.

Serenade. Par KREISLER FRITZ. Apart from the collection of Classical Manuscripts composed by the violin virtuoso Fritz Kreisler (1875-1962) which he had passed off as transcriptions of settings of old masters, the violinist published original works early on as well. Kreisler himself liked to play them as encore pieces, thus sweetening many a concert with this 'musical confectionery'. Famous tunes …
