I had a note in my 2011 diary that SJK was to sing at the Royal Festival Hall on 28th April in a (?Mahler) programme with Maazel. Does anyone know if this is still on? (If I’ve missed previous notes about this, do forgive me.)

Thanks so much for all your work on this (definitely my favourite) website – we’d be lost without it. HS

Hello,

Just to let you know that Bavarian State Opera and Vienna State Opera just announced 2011-2012 season details. Simon will return to Munich, but for Eugene Onegin in March and Wozzeck in July. Don Carlo is scheduled for January without him, though. In this production, M. Kweicien will be Rodrigo while the rest of main casts are exactly what indicated before. For Vienna, he will sing Rodrigo, again, in Italian Version in June, 2012.

Cheers!

Hello all fans!
Yesterday (29.9.) I have seen a nice performance with Simon and other good singers in Hamburg.This concert named: Szenen aus Schumanns “Faust”, dirigated by Jeffrey Tate. It was a very great success: standing ovations for the three male and the five
female singers, a chorus with eighty voices and a smaller boy chorus from Bad Tölz.
Kindly regards
Susanne from Germany

I found changes in the cast of Un Ballo di Maschera in Viena. Leo Nucci will sing Rodrigo… So, SK has cancelled.

Oh, it´s a great pity that SK can´t sing in the performances in Vienna (I have a ticket for Jan 20).
Please, let me know, if SK will go to my country (in Prague). Thanks.

I guess you have seen this which came in this morning?
Hello All
Following received today, I can’t wait to get my hands on this performance!
Neville
The London Symphony Orchestra’s wrenching performance of Britten’s “War
Requiem” (with Sabina Cvilak, Ian Bostridge, and Simon Keenlyside; conducted
by Gianandrea Noseda) was recorded during one of the Barbican performances
and is to released on 7 May (UK). It is available for pre-orders on Amazon
(note–it is considerably cheaper to order this from Amazon UK than Amazon
US).

I heard this performed at Avery Fisher during the LSO’s tour last October,
and like many in the audience was moved to tears. I am looking forward to
receiving my copy of the recording.

Last week’s review in the Sunday Times:
Celebrating its half century on May 30, Britten’s great antiwar oratorio is
arguably the only modern classic of its kind to have found the widest
audience and increasing critical acclaim. This live recording, from the
Barbican Hall last October, was to have been conducted by the LSO’s
president , Colin Davis, but the demands of the work proved a deterrent to
the now 84-year-old conductor. (At the first performance, in Coventry
Cathedral, Britten baulked at tackling the whole work himself, opting for
the lesser challenge of conducting the chamber ensemble that accompanies the
tenor and baritone settings of Wilfred Owen s searing war poems.) Noseda
proves a more than worthy substitute, easily encompassing the dramatic scale
of the work with its operatic Latin choruses the liturgical text led by a
hieratic high priestess soprano. Although LSO forces did not perform at the
world premiere, Britten chose them for his iconic recording with the three
soloists, Galina Vishnevskaya, Peter Pears and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, for
whom he tailor-made their parts. The Slovenian soprano Sabina Cvilak has a
bright, silvery penetrating timbre. Ian Bostridge’s tenor is as individual
and idiosyncractic as Pears’s in its own way. Simon Keenlyside, too, is
magnificent, while the two choirs relish their grateful, inspiring music.
