Beethoven 9 Bbc Wales

Neglecting two other émigrés and their works—five symphonies by Beethoven pupil Ferdinand Ries (1784–1838) that he composed for (and premiered at) the Philharmonic Society between 1813 and 1822, as well as the surviving fragments of four ambitious later pieces by Muzio Clementi (1752–1832) —Cipriani Potter emerges as the first England-based symphonic composer of Beethoven’s time. Potter would continue to foster the development of this tradition in London; for instance, through George Alexander Macfarren (1813–1887; nine symphonies, 1828–1874) and William Sterndale Bennett (1816–1875; five symphonies, 1832–1864), both students of his.

2020 is the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth, and this album presents three works that reshape the composer’s awe-inspiring music for the 21st century. The Sonata for Orchestra considers how the Violin Sonata No. 7 would sound had it been written for orchestra, while A Fidelio Symphony transforms vocal lines into symphonic textures to take us through the entire arc of the composer’s sole opera. Based on the famous Ode to Joy of Beethoven’s final symphony, BEETHOVEN9 Symphonic Remix uses loops, grooves and musical transformations to create a contemporary tribute to Beethoven’s universal message.

Decca Classics is releasing the soundtrack to the highly-anticipated new film adaptation of Ian McEwan’s book, On Chesil Beach, featuring music from British composer Dan Jones and a stand-out performance from violinist Esther Yoo. Alongside Jones’ score are familiar classical pieces by composers including Rachmaninov, Schubert, Elgar and Mozart.

This is the second recording for Quartz from Olwen Morris, offering a cross section of works from the Classical period through the early Contemporary. Olwen Morris grew up in war-time rural Wales, where she was first taught by Josef Gruenbaum, a musician and lawyer from Stuttgart, who with his family had fled Nazi Germany. Olwen made extraordinary progress, and enrolled at 14 as the youngest student at Cardiff College of Music, (later becoming the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama). She soon made her first early live broadcasts, including a concerto with the BBC Welsh Orchestra, and debut concerts in Cardiff's City Hall and Reardon Smith Theatre. Teaching, directing church music, organ improvisation and chamber music have all played parts throughout a lifetime in music, but solo playing continues to remain the vital center of it all. Her performances of the Viennese classics are remarkable for their insight and depth, and her playing of French music for sensitivity to sensual sound, also reflecting her long close association with northern France, where her artist husband, David Morris painted.
