  • On Record: James Inverne Remembers Jon Vickers (1926-2015)

    "Opera," said the Canadian tenor Jon Vickers once in an interview, "is not entertainment." For entertainment, he explained, he would far rather watch My Fair Lady. Opera had to go deeper. It was deeper, or it was nothing.
  • New Concert Series at London’s Central Synagogue Opens with Violist David Aaron Carpenter in “Music of the Jewish Diaspora”

    The International Concerts Series at Central Synagogue will feature world-class musicians in a historical venue noted for its excellent acoustics.
  • Listening to the Bawdy Bellower Nerd: Amusing Anagrams of Famous Composers’ Names

    Just for fun, we decided to test some anagram generators on the Web by typing in the names of our favorite composers. What hidden meanings might be lurking in these famous names?
  • Musical Selfies: Ravel, Mussorgsky and Verdi...Without Makeup!

    My Facebook feed has been dotted in recent day with the latest social media craze. For a good cause, female friends have been posting photographs of themselves without makeup. Some actually look better that way, in my opinion (I know, nobody asked). One can surely do the same in music. Follow the popular trend--in music!
  • The Column: Keep Calm and...Toi, Toi, Toi?

    A Yiddish expression adopted by musicians worldwide. People ask me what have I learned, since starting a classical music consultancy company, that I didn't know when I was "just" a journalist.
  • The Column: All (or Most) Change in United Kingdom's Classical Music Scene?

    But I wouldn't bet against Kirill Karabits being snapped up. Bournemouth has historically been a springboard for higher-profile appointments--and being from that town, myself, I yield to no one in my borderline fanatical admiration for its orchestra.
  • Jude Kelly's U.K. Southbank Centre Announce 2014-15 Season with Birtwistle Birthday, Anna Clyne and Barenboim Playing Schubert

    The Southbank Centre is seen as an arbiter of London cultural taste, especially latterly under the leadership of Jude Kelly. And after 2013-14's season, themed after the Alex Ross book The Rest Is Noise (a brilliant conceit), there is considerable interest in her follow-up.
  • Edward Gardner Leaving English National Opera, Mark Wigglesworth Arriving

    So, the news that Edward Gardner is stepping down after only seven years is almost as much of a shock as the simultaneous announcement that Mark Wigglesworth will follow him.
  • The Column: Renée Fleming's National Anthem at Superbowl XLVIII...What Controversy?

    What's the fuss all about? The U.S. morning news bulletins are full of the news that, shock, horror, "Opera singer to sing national anthem at Superbowl." And? And yet the news teams (news!) are earnestly discussing the rights and wrongs of the decision to invite Renée Fleming
  • Gergiev, Nelsons, Gilbert or Alsop...Who is the World’s Busiest Conductor?

    Some interesting statistics, yes, from the U.K.-based music website Bachtrack. Every year, they compile the stats from the events they have listed, and the list for 2013 has Valery Gergiev as the world's busiest conductor. Andris Nelsons comes second.
  • Classicalite Recording News: Extreme Mozart Opera Recordings from Teodor Currentzis on Sony Classical

    No compromise operas, an exciting-sounding concept. They say that the creation of art is 10 percent inspiration and 90 percent perspiration. Conductor Teodor Currentzis clearly believes this to be so, or at the very least that they must come together.
  • The Column: Are Live Broadcasts Good for Classical Music?

    Classicalite wants to know. Really. Not every question has a ready-made answer. Not every answer to the same question will be identical. I have a question, and I don't know the answer, nor do I know whether the answer will be different in different places.
