Welcome back in a new season...
|
's
Cruel
awakening!!
Only some months ago, we all tried to keep looking forward
into a promissing post-corona time,
and
then had to face a next monster, sitting in the Kremlin and threatening with violence and crime
a peaceful country and it's people -
and meanwhile and us all with a cold winter and many threatening things
more!
But, I trust
that we will not only overcome this winter, but will also experience, that this new
monster loses and clears the way for a POST-PUTIN world, which will inevitably
arise at the horizon.
And
for the time being, I wish to all of us, that - despite inflation and energy-saving
necessities -
there will be reason to enjoy a lot of live music!
In October 2022 - cordially your's

On October
22, Prosseda started his German concert season 22/23 in
the Liederhalle Stuttgart in front of an enthused
audience of 1.800 people. With the Stuttgart Philharmonic Orchestra, he
playedy the Concerto for Pedal Piano & Orchestra
by Charles Gounod, which had been cancelled due to Corona in
January 2022.
The
recordings of the Variations and Klavierstücke to complete his Mozart recordings have been finalized. DECCA
plans to release the already recorded Piano sonatas
together with the new CDs in an edition
of all Mozart's piano works in a box of 10 CDs.
As a first separate Double- CD, the Variations
could be on the market before Christmas.
In
addition to his work as artistic director of Piano
Experience, the piano section of the international fair Cremona Musica, Prosseda has created 2 other
festivals as artistic director: The Patmos
Chamber Music Festival and the Ascoli Piceno festival.
Aside, Prosseda
strengthened and extended his new online series entitled "The Professional Pianist", already started in February, in
the frame of which he regularly publishes
short videos
demonstrating on the piano
different aspects of the
pianistic work, which he considers interesting
and important.

His new compositon
for Sir Andras Schiff commissioned
by Klavierfestival Ruhr "Novembernacht" will be premiered in June 2023 in the frame of
the Klavierfestival in Bochum.
Finally, he returned to work upon his current opera
project, which he had to let aside for a while due to
other commissions: 
"OFER - Till the end of
the land", the libretto of which is based upon
the novel by Man Booker-Prize winner David Grossmann.
There are also several projects for new commissions,
among them a new concert and a
new Chamber Music work for 2023.
Finally,
in view the climate change problem,
he's planning to complement his compositions "Terra"
and "Mare" by "Vento" and "Sole"
to become a 'Symphony of Elements'.

On
August 6, Buchwald
began his 22/23 season in France by conducting the Octuor
de France for the world premiere
of the chamber music version of his film score to Murnau's legendary "Nosferatu".
On teh occasion of a series of film concerts at the silent film festival Le Giornate of Cinema Muto /Italy, Buchwald
happily could held in his hands the long-awaited
DVD/Bluray of the legendary silent
film "CASANOVA" synchronized with his original music, produced for the Cinémathèque Francaise by the
US company Flicker Alley.
It should also be available on the European market
by the end of the year.
Regrettably,
Putin's war has prevented
a film concert of "Casanova" originally planned
for the spring in Moscow - and that will probably remain so for
quite a while ...
It's a pity: director, main actors and almost the entire crew were Russians,
who emigrated to Paris, and a part of the film is set at the court of the
great Catherine in St. Petersburg (see cover photo of the DVD).
In a sense, a largely Russian work of art would have 'come home' with
this concert.
One of the many human losses, the man in the Kremlin doesn't care about!
In the meantime, Buchwald has launched conducting a mimi
series with films by Chaplin.
Buchwald has also
profited from his forced 'time out' to work upon an arrangenment of Bizet's
"L'Arlesienne"
to be recorded with Octuor de France,
and a compilation of "Carmen"
to be performed with the Orchestre Philharmonique de Bruxelles.
He's also preparing 2 film concerts with Japanese Silent Movies for "Japanische Fillmtage" presented by the general Consulate
of Japan in Düsseldorf.
Together
with the well known German clarinettist Helmut Eisel, he will accompany
the screening of "Jüdisches Glück"
(after the novel by Shoelm Alejchem) in Zürich and Freiburg.
Finally, in March 23 he will conduct the film orchestra of Freiburger Philharmoniker to peform Shostkovitch' music for teh Russian silent
movie "The new Babylon".
DVD-Democopies of Buchwalds film concerts with
Murnaus "Nosferatu" and
"Faust", the Hollywood
production 
"The Wind" and the Japanese silent movies
"Sumiko" and "Express 300 Miles" are available.
