Andrew Zolinsky will perform an hour-long programme featuring works by Valentin Silvestrov (Ukraine), Tigran Mansurian (Armenia) and Laurence Crane (UK). The concert presents three living composers, outlining connections between the music formed in the Ukranian and Armenian avant-garde of the ‘70s, and the British experimentalism of the ‘80s and ‘90s – each attempting to establish new grounds in the melodic, the tonal, the lyrical and the familiar.

at SAMUEL BECKETT : IN CONFINEMENT The Institute of Irish Studies, University of Liverpool 6 & 7 May 2022 Beckett Confined: Ghost Trio by Samuel Beckett Fri, 6 May 2022, 20:00 Samuel Beckett's play Ghost Trio performed by Anna Nygh and Frank McCusker with music by the Fidelio Trio. Ghost Trio is a television play written by Beckett in 1975, its three 'acts' reflect Beethoven's Fifth Piano Trio, known as The Ghostbecause of the slightly spooky mood of the second movement, Largo. The passages selected by Beckett are from the "ghostly" second theme. In addition the Fidelio Trio will be performing pieces by Schubert, another of Beckett's favourite composers. BOOK : https://www.eventbrite.com/e/beckett-confined-ghost-trio Samuel Beckett's radio play "Words and Music", with music composed by Morton Feldman. Sat, 7 May 2022 performed by the FIDELIO TRIO and friends, directed by Darragh Morgan In 1961 Samuel Beckett wrote Words and Music for BBC radio, a play featuring the two characters “Words” and “Music” (also referred to as Joe and Bob). The work was withdrawn following the première due to Beckett’s dissatisfaction. 20 years later, Beckett suggested that Morton Feldman should compose the music, resulting in the first complete performance in 1987 (the year of Feldman’s death), produced for the American Beckett Festival of Radio Plays. In Feldman’s words: ‘It was a huge amount of fun to do something for Beckett, a sort of tribute to him, i.e. someone who has been part of my life since the ‘50’s … it was to some extent a labour of love, which I happily undertook.’ BOOK : https://www.eventbrite.com/e/beckett-confined-words-and-music May 2022 THOMAS KEMP

Full of life, energy and optimism. Berman communicates the natural organic quality he finds in the music which seems so simple he says but takes a great amount of work to achieve. Excellent recording as well and I'm delighted to say that they're going to complete the series of all four symphonies in the run-up to the composer's 150th birthday in 2024.

VINCENT LARDERET
LISZT : Between Light and Darkness - Piano Classics PCL10201 What a great recording! In retrospect, the fact that I raised it to the same level as the recordings by Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli and Krystian Zimmerman still bothered me a bit. Reached too high? By no means! ... Vincent Larderet finds all of this to be a master of rhetorically charged art and, not least, the ideal Liszt interpreter. He not only has absolute control over his instrument and all parameters of piano playing, but also a mental, or rather poetic-philosophical, penetration of the works and their content that I have never encountered in this form with Liszt. ... Between virtuosity and spirituality, between asceticism and pathos, an inner tremor that is tense and just controllable pervades his game; and that's why his Liszt recording is deeply personal for me, so incomparable and simply recommendable.” Klassik Heute http://www.klassik-heute.de Vincent Larderet
“Larderet, quite justifiably, once again throws off the artificial shackles of the 'anti-impressionist' and gives free rein to his strongest sides - the ability to 'paint music', playing with timbres, contrasts of dynamic nuances, the deep and full-blooded sound of the instrument.[…]
This is not a piano, not an organ, or even an orchestra, but a chorus of human voices. It seems that such a 'special effect' could only be achieved with a very personal experience. And again, one has to wonder where a young man like Larderet has a life experience that allows him to penetrate into such abysses?"

VANESSA BENELLI MOSELL
NEW YORK TIMES Luckily, there is a sterling recent recording of “Klavierstück XII,” on Decca, by Vanessa Benelli Mosell, who worked with the composer before his death in 2007. From the first minute, she treats some quickly rising and falling motifs with an interpretive feeling that’s more romantic than you hear from other players in this repertoire. Yet it’s all in keeping with the surging thematic playfulness of “Licht”-era Stockhausen, a quality which might shock anyone who thinks of him only in terms of early works like “Kontra-Punkte.” SETH COLTER WALLS Oct 2019

We are delighted to announce the representation of the acclaimed Danish percussionist, performer and conductor Mathias Reumert
A dynamic and visionary performer, Mathias is an in-demand soloist and explores brand new percussive territory while remaining a committed interpreter of yesterday’s masterworks by composers such as Xenakis, Stockhausen, Henze and Donatoni. As creator and leader of the highly acclaimed crossover ensemble Ekkozone, he explores the borderlands between classical, world and experimental music in performances at rock and jazz festivals, recently in performances and Steve Reich and an unique exploration into the genesis of Boulez's masterwork Le Marteau sans maître. MORE A pianist of impeccable international pedigree in the world of contemporary music. For long a champion of the leading composers through her performing with her sister Ufuk in the Duo Dördüncü, the percussion and piano quartet Quatuor Makrokosmos and ensembles across Europe. Bahar brings to her solo performing her understanding of the music of today's composers working closely with them to bring they music to audiences across the world. A charismatic artist with assured technique, deep musicianship and unshakeable enthusiasm, we look forward to many wonderful projects with Bahar. MORE
From student days with the great Luigi Nono to commissions from the leading orchestras, ensembles and festivals across the globe, Gervasoni's music is amongst the most searching, challenging, rewarding the beautiful of our times. We look forward to working with this wonderful musician.
