Prosseda's recording of Mendelssohn's
1st+2nd piano concert with Dutch Residentie
Orkest is fiished and will be released in 2018.
Together with his recording of the 3rd concerto (based on the completed fragment
and done with the Gewandhausorchester
Leipzig) all Mendelssohn concertos interpreted by Prosseda will
then be available.
Prosseda's
Mendelssohn Edition Mendelssohn Complete
Piano Works published by DECCA has
been nominated for the longlist of "German
Schallplattenpreis" (established by German music
journalists).
The box contains 10 Cds
(recorded between 2005 + 2015 and including the works for 4 hands or 2 pianos) with more than 50 world premier
recordings.
Thus, for the first time, a complete overview
upon Mendelssohn's piano work - approximately 12 hrs of music -
is available.
The edition is
completed by Prosseda's comprehensive
essais upon each composition.
And, based on the new catalogue by
R.Wehner (2009),
the booklet offers a complete listing of
all of Mendelssohns piano
works combined with hyperlinks to all tracks of the box.
Due
to Prosseda's decade long devoted work, it's now possible to come to
a new classification and appreciation of Mendelssohn's importance in
the history of classical music, long time denied to him.
In a
first time, the edition is available at DECCA Italy,
amazon and jpc as well as at the shops of the Gewandhaus Leipzig
and the Mendelssohn Haus Leipzig.
In favour of the Mendelssohn edition, the
release of the 2nd
album
of Prossedas complete
recordings of all Mozart sonatas,
had been postponed.
It will now be published
beginning of October 2017.
For the 2nd part of his Mozart
series, Prosseda has slightly changed the mechanic of his Fazioli which
shall enable him to use a 'sordino' effect similair to the one of
historical pianos at Mozart's time.
Concerning the challenges and awardings of his Mozart conception,
Prosseda gave an interesting interview to the online-magazine piano street.com: read more
The first album
is available at DECCA/Universal in Italy, Germany and France and on i-tunes and amazon and
listed by spotify.
Meanwhile, Roberto has
also finished the recording of the complete piano works
by Charles Gounod for DECCA. The album will be
published for the 200th birthday of
Gounod in 2018

ART
WORks will primarily care to promote the operas, selected
chamber music works and the development of special concert
projects and concert-lectures
of Lombardi's wide rangging repertoire.
Lombardi already composed  4 operas and
is currently working upon a 5th one: "OFER"
(libretto based upon a novel by Man Booker-Prize winnerr David
Grossmann).
Lombardis compositions, essais
and writings are often motivated by special aspects, which reach
beyond music political, social and philosophical issues and concerns -
which he also proposes fro discussion in teh frame of concert-kecturse.

Among the many works she composed
for great
international orchestras and chamber music ensembles, there's the
successful original
soundtrack for the German silent movie "Der
Golem" commissioned by ART WORKs Berlin in
1996 for Giora Feidman and the Arditti String
Quartet.
On October 19,
2017, the GOLEM film will be shown together with Olivero's
music at the theatre
of Erfurt
/Germany in the
frame of the Jewish-Israeli
Cultural Days.
Oliveros
soundtrack is also available as independant concert adaptation: the
suites
f. clarinet and string quartett or string orchestra.
Detailed
information and material for both formulas -
the silent movie with Olivero's soundtrack and the 2 chamber music
versions
- are available
at ART
WORKs Berlin!
We
will also be happy to provide you with the contact data
of the editor for getting the rental
material.
Another of Oliver's works, gets an
increasingt, but deeply sad importance in our period of worldwide wars
and struggled and is currently often performed:  "Neharo't, Neharo't
Olivero
taped women in mourning,
mothers,
widows and sisters who had lost their loved ones as a point of
reference for her composition.
The material was then
adapted to a sequence of vocal and instrumental tape
soundings, which are heard in the piece at set times, as an addition to
the live playing of the soloist and the string orchestra.
Neharo't
Neharo't is a dedication to all those women and children living in
areas of war.

Info Silent movies

The
premier of Buchwald's new soundtrack for  "THE WIND", a silent movie from 1928 with
Hollywood movie star Lillian Gish: on July 22, 2017 was
received with great acclaim. The performance will be repeated on
September 29 at the Pordenone Silent Movie festival.
The film, rated by the
National Film registry to be "culturally, historicallyl and aesthetically significant, was made by the Swedish
film director Victor Sjöström,
the Swedish actor Hanson played the male lead role.
Buchwald's sound track is based on a dialogue
between composed
music for
strings and sequences of improvised music
played by an ensemble the instrumentation of which is not determinated,
but can be chosen on location. It seems that the musicians were very
inspired by the improvised parts and had great pleasure with it!
Buchwald's new
original sound track
for "CASANOVA",
a French-Rus-
sian silent movie from
1927 will be premiered in April 2018.
The
Cinémathèque
Francaise will release a DVD with Buchwald's new sound track.
Thanks to his longtime cooperation
with theTokio and Kyoto
festival,
Buchwald's
wide ranging repertoire includes nuemrous silent movies from
Japan, very seldom
shown in Europe. Dazu gehört auch der
Klassiker "Das
Mädchen Sumiko", für
den er eine neue Musik komponiert hat.
DVD-Demokopien für Buchwalds
Murnaus "Nosferatu"
und
"Faust", den
japanischen Klassiker "Das Mädchen
Sumiko" und
"The Wind" ebenso wie die Partituren
stehen ab sofort
zur Verfügung.
