Posting Numbers For Facebook




Rain acronyms. The CNDM is the new department for the musical thing INAEM the MCU. It is the result of the merger of the CDMC, the CNMH de Leon and the programming characteristic of AN.

[translate: the National Dissemination Center Musical is the new department for the musical thing National Institute of Performing Arts and Music the Ministry of Culture . It is the result of the merger of Dissemination Center for Contemporary Music , National Historical Music Center de León and its own program of Auditorio Nacional .]

sure, with so many acronyms, a reader, and some estimate has been lost.

Well, CNDM submitted the schedule for the remainder of the season. Under the guidance of the departments that brings, has a cycle of early music (baroque universe), another contemporary (Series 20/21) and a flamenco.

I guess the hand of Antonio del Moral-drive from the Liceo CajaMadrid Foundation Chamber and current director of the notable CNDM-weight contemporary chamber music cycle. Throughout the 15 scheduled concerts, listen to the Quartet Pacifica (presentation in Madrid), Leipzig Quartet (Beethoven cycle / Halffter), Breton Quartet (premiere of the quartet and recorded! Of Aracil), Javier Quiroga Quartet and Trio Perianes Arbós. While fans of avant-garde music programming will seem somewhat conservative, I warmly welcome a bit of animation to a chamber music life just does not live in Madrid that golden age.


What I do not see is that these institutions focus their activities both in Madrid. We can not have pictures of the Prado Museum in continuous roaming but beyond Alicante Leon, could not the Ministry to spread their activities among the major English cities? Sure there are obstacles obscure administrative / budget but since we pay among all ...

All kinds of good wishes to the new institution. For now, no web. I hope this clarification lunar soon.
PS: I reread the entry and I think that makes clear a key issue. Beyond the chamber music, the new facility represents a significant impoverishment of the music scene in Madrid. No regret over the disappearance of programming self-confusing and inequitable, the Auditorium. However, it does not replace CNDM what they were doing the CDMC, not even close. Far from the aesthetic of its leadership positions, was proud that Madrid had a cycle like the Queen of Mondays. The crisis, once again ...

The
Naxos Grammy is a good chance to see what happens across the ocean. Along with recordings or less "mainstream" are always amazed with the original proposals. Radames is a Brazilian Gnattali the generation after Villa-Lobos, Quincy not be confused with Cole Porter.

With exceptions, the performers chosen not usually very popular here. Just a thought that, in chamber music, relations between the U.S. and Europe are still pre-Columbian. Thank God there Naxos.
For the winner there to wait for February 13. The same thing we put in a post.

X Grammy 2010 Chamber Music Competition "Montserrat Alavedra" Chamber Music

Before it is too backward in time, I confirm the conclusion of X Chamber Music Competition "Montserrat Alavedra" de Terrassa. Every two years, the event is aimed at young English interpreters or resident in this country of ours. The concept of chamber music that handle very large databases, support any group of three to nine components, with or without a conductor. Comparing

pears and melons, it seems difficult the task of the jury. Finally, they decided to award the first prize for piano trio Metamorphosis-from the Escuela Reina Sofia in Madrid, the second quartet of saxophones Sound Art de Palma de Mallorca, and the third Wogen Trio, a group that joins soprano, clarinet and piano. As I found photo of the Metamorphoses, illustrated with a beautiful image of Wogen.


The winners are added to a winners list that already includes groups such as the Quartet Quixote (2008), LOM Piano Trio (2004) and the Casals Quartet (1998). We congratulate the organizers, financiers and supporters, the Friends of Arts and Musical Youth's Terrace, unanimous, Catalunya Música ... It is for many editions.

A humble advice to developers. At this point in the film and given the objective importance of the event, it would not hurt to have all the information centralized on a website or blog itself.

Saudi Arabia Escorting

and digestion


an article Xurxo Leo Fernandez in Correo Gallego. It's funny the final paragraph:

"I have always defended the chamber music helps to better enjoy a meal. And put your hand in the fire regarding a physical fact: the string quartets aid digestion. The I learned then, eating those first pigeon. Mozart sounded on the record player. It was precisely the quartet Hunting in B Flat Major, KV 458. As performers, the best quartet in history: the Amadeus Quartet, the Fab Four of the classical music. That itself was the perfect picture of happiness. "

Arditti Quartet, the ray that does not stop

leave very recent evidence of the disposal of two new CDs of English music Arditti today. This is the complete recording of the quartets (and some other things) of Benet Casablancas-n º 1 "Zinc interludis" (1983), No. 2 (1991) and No. 3 (2009) - and the continuation of the integral that began in those of Cristobal Halffter, Volume 2, No. 2 "Memoires" (1970), No. 4 "with bravery and sense", n º 5 "Zeitgestalt" and No. 7 "Space of Silence" (2007). Tritó stamps and Anemos, respectively.

Is the Arditti Quartet good? In a remote post, I expressed my serious doubts tras escucharles un Scelsi que requería técnicas de afinación y coordinación rítmica "convencionales". Pero, seguramente, la pregunta es improcedente: tras 36 años de labor frenética, son ya un mito, un género propio, en el panorama musical contemporáneo.

Para despejar dudas, será interesante escucharles -el mes que viene- en el Liceo de Cámara. Tocan Brahms, Ullmann y un primer Schoenberg.
