ROBERTO PROSSEDADA

In 2022, Prosseda will
catch up his recording of contemporary Italian piano works with the
London Philharmonic Orchestra,
canclled in 2021.
Other good
news is, that Prosseda has now finished his big Mozart
Project by recording 3 more CDs
with all of Mozart's Piano variations
and a 4th
CD with 'Klavierstücke'.
These recordings will complete
the already existing 6 recordings with Mozart's piano sonatas.
Thus, DECCA
will soon publish in a box with 10 CDs an
edition of Mozart's Complete Piano Works performed by Prosseda.
Already on July 2nd 2021, Universal/DECCA published Prosseda's
recording of Ennio Morricone's Piano Works including Morricone's
original transcriptions
of several of his film soundtracks to mark the anniversary of Morricone's death on July 6th.
"Leggenda del Pianista
sull' Oceano' and "indagine su un Cittadino
al di sopra di ogni Sospetto"
But, such an inventive artist with great online
affinity has also quite a bit to do beyond concert
stages - even in
Corona-times.
Joining many
of his colleagues around the world, Prosseda performed a series
of streamed concerts and 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.

LUCA
LOMBARDI

Lombardi profited from the Corona stop to focus a quite broad
spectrum of projects:
On June 28, after having been postponed several times
due to Corona, the world premiere
of Lombardi's piece " Josquin Desprez & Leonardo
da Vinci in Berlin" commissioned by the Max-Planck-Institut
for it's exposition "Leonrado's Intellectaul Cosmos" could finally take
place in Berlin
- LIVE, but unfortunately
in front of a still sensiblly reduced audience.
And he finished a new compositon for Sir Andras Schiff commissioned
by Klavierfestival Ruhr:
"Novembernacht"
will be premiered in June 2023 in the
frame of the Klavierfestival.
Likewise, another commission for a Chamber music
piece commissioned by an orchestra in Japan is expected to be
premiered in June 2023.
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'.

SCHLOMO MINTZ

Enescu Festival on September

Also Buchwald's film concerts,
mostly with him conducting great symphony orchestras his own music, which
hade been cancelled or postponed will take place in 2022/23.
As for example the screening of the spectacular French Silent movie
"Casanova" with Buchwald's new music.
which took place in automn 2022 Le Giornate del Cinema Muto / Festival Lumière).
Corona, however, was completely innocent
of the cancellation of a projected performance in Moscow in Mai/June
2022 - the reasons for that are regrettably obvious...
For 2022, premieres of CASANOVA
concerts are discussed in the US and Scandinavia.
Likewise, the long expected production
of a DVD/Bluray of a restored and completed version of "Casanova" with Buchwald's music by the Cinémathèque
Francaise is programmed for automn 2022.
In the
meantime, Buchwald has launched conducting a mimi series with films by Chaplin.
Finally, his concerts in the frame of the San
Francisco SILENT Filmfestival cancelled in 2021
took place in May 2022.
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.
And finally,
on August 6 2022, he will conduct the
Octuor de France for
the world premiere of the chamber version of
his original music for "Nosferatu" by
Murnau.
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.

... l'image démultipliée par la musique sublime de Jean Jacques
Lemêtre...".
Whilst, in the Cartoucherie, a well-trained
team of young musicians is now performing for "L'Ile d'or", Lemêtre
himself has new musical horizons:
embarking on other musical journeys around the world for new encounters
and experiences, projects and workshops and to share music and art - as soon
and as far the darn Corona will allow.

du Soleil has been published by Actes-Sud.
And a DVD with 4 films by Anne
