Catching up on last night's Prom. The sound in the hall was great. But you hear different things when you listen back. #BBCproms #ClassicalMusic @classicalmusic

「トランペット協奏曲の作曲家オスカー・ベーメは悲運の音楽家。ドイツに生まれ、サンクトペテルブルクに活動の場を移し、ロシア国籍も取得してそのまま定住したが、スターリンの大粛清が始まると、ドイツ系だったためにオレンブルクに流刑になった。これは反革命組織への参加という濡れ衣を着せられたためらしい。」
「ベーメはオレンブルクへ3年間の追放処分になっていたが、その期限が終わる直前にまたスパイ容疑で逮捕されてしまう。そしてオレンブルクのNKVDトロイカによって死刑を宣告され、即日銃殺された。この事実は遺族にも伏せられていたが、1989年になってから事件記録が再検証され、ベーメの容疑はNKVDによる捏造であり、有罪答弁は拷問によって引き出されたものだと結論付けられ、ベーメは名誉を回復した」

独裁で人治主義が跋扈するとこういう悲劇が引きも切らない。

今日はフェルッチョ・ブゾーニの命日。1924年、ベルリンにて没。享年58。死因は腎臓病とされている。

イタリア生まれだがドイツ語圏での活動が多かったためか、墓もベルリンのシュトゥーベンラウフ通り第3市営墓地にある。https://maps.app.goo.gl/Se2yY4XcmEn2ag9Z8

出版されている作品は多くはないが、第二次大戦の混乱で散逸した作品が多数あり、未出版のままになっているものも多いという。

Fantastic concert tonight at the RAH. Those Dutch boys on the pianos were real entertainers. Adams' Harmonium brought the house down after the break. The best ticket in town. #BBCproms #ClassicalMusic @classicalmusic

Sinfonia of London/Wilson review – night of Technicolor masterpieces from one of the finest orchestras on the planet
By Clive Paget

Royal Albert Hall, LondonVerdi’s La Forza del Destino felt vital, cellist Jonathan Aasgaard was immaculate in Walton’s Concerto but it was John Wilson’s wizardly conducting through Respighi’s Roman Trilogy that brought the audience to their feet

Are all the #BBCproms really on Sounds as stated? Because I cannot see the Morton Feldman concert in Gateshead last night in the list. Obviously not broadcast live as it clashed with the Respighi. #ClassicalMusic @classicalmusic

I can't repost this properly because Rob doesn't follow the Bridge. But pleasingly the answer is "yes" . It's the original birdsong! #BBCproms #ClassicalMusic
@classicalmusic

Alt...

RobJFH @robjfh.bsky.social Apparently the publisher owns the original birdsong recording and sends it out to any orchestra that wants to perform it on a CD.

Reading about The Pines of Rome. Respighi was very specific about the recording of the nightingale used in the third movement. And the phonogram it was played on. I wonder if that recording was used tonight. #BBCproms #ClassicalMusic

You know you're going to have a good time with John Wilson and the Sinfonia of London don't you? There was so much going on. And the energy. #BBCproms #ClassicalMusic
