What concerts are you looking forward to? (Part II)

[Cato]

Does anyone know if Arnold Schoenberg's Gurrelieder is scheduled for a performance anywhere?

I have gone to Universal Edition and some individual websites for orchestras, but the former is never reliable (I have discovered), and the latter can be maddeningly unfriendly to discovering what an orchestra is playing without "registering" first.

Yes, tomorrow in Koln. Better get your plane tickets now!

I think that performances on Universal Edition (or any publisher) show up only if the performance material is being rented. Schoenberg is PD in parts of the world by now (and since "Gurrelieder" was published before 1923, including the US), so it isn't rental-only anymore. I'm not positive of this, but it is a theory I have.

Thank you! 

I thought this was probably the explanation, because the Cologne performance did not show up on the Universal Edition list.

I'll be in Paris for about half of the Chopin Festival in the orangerie at the Bois de Boulogne. I will still be on the airplane during Jean-Marc Luisada's recital, but could see the recitals by Abdel Rahman El Bacha and/or Laurent Wagschal.

On Saturday, I will be taking Kimi to her first concert:

Vienna Symphony conducted by Simone Young (? phonetic translation from Chinese, and I don't know what her English name is!)

Mendelssohn Violin Concerto
Brahms Symphony #2

[MishaK]

Last year though they played here Mozart's Jupiter and Mahler's 5th rather good... And we had to make our way in the main concert hall through X-Ray (or something like that) gates, for safety reasons... as if we were to embark on a plane

Where was this?

Simone Young is her name, yes!

Thanks! I hope Kimi can sit through the whole thing!

A Chinese violinist.

[Obradovic]

Where was this?

Athens, Greece!

[listener]

West Coast Orchestra, a mixture of professional and non-professional players on June 6th
Benjamin Britten: Violin Concerto No.1
Dmitri Shostakovich: Symphony No.10 in E minor
in an acoustically challenging church.  I think this kind of programming deserves my support.

Took Kimi to her first concert.

But because she'd under 120cm, she was refused entry. So I sold our $80 tickets for $20, total, and took her to a tour to Tiananmen Square, which was closed! So we went to KFC instead.

End of report.

I will take her to the museum for some Monet next week to make up for it.

Sorry to read that, Paul. Oh well, I wish I'd be seeing Monet's next week.

What?  Like an amusement park ride?  How unfair!

Tonight:

Stockhausen: Stimmung (Ekmeles) - This a cappella vocal ensemble has been rising fast on the NY scene the last few years, doing outstanding concerts of repertoire no one else in town will touch. This should be a great evening.

Not been to Snape since last summer, needed to remedy to that, so tonight :

Richard Goode (piano)

Janáček - On an Overgrown Path (excerpts)
Schumann - Davidsbündlertänze
Debussy - Préludes Book I

[Brian]

I'll be in Paris July 3-20, anybody know of a must-hear concert there next month? Probably seeing Abdel Rahman El Bacha play Chopin in candlelight, for one thing.

How was it, Olivier? The underlined part is something I don't like, but of course I'd love to hear that recital.
