Liberated Dissonance: Andrew Porter, 1928-2015
http://liberateddissonance.blogspot.com/2015/04/andrew-porter-19.html
A blog about music, mostly. Sunday, April 5, 2015. Andrew Porter, 1928-2015. Consider, for example, his extended description of the opening of Elliott Carter’s Symphony of Three Orchestras:. High on the violins, as one thin, shining, open-textured chord is laid upon another, in sifting aeolian strains, it seems as if the cradle of wires overhead may be sounding: “Sibylline voices flicker, wavering stream, As though a god were issue of the strings.”. The quotation is from The Bridge,. I was lucky enough t...

Liberated Dissonance: October 2014
http://liberateddissonance.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
A blog about music, mostly. Thursday, October 23, 2014. A word to the wise. One other anecdote from Tuesday's recital, before I forget: A cellphone went off in the audience just as Dawn Upshaw was preparing to sing "Ann Street." She handled it with good humor, saying it would work with the song. For my part, I was suddenly struck by how much the default iPhone ring tone resembles the the rhythmic pattern of "The Se'er.". Wednesday, October 22, 2014. Boy, was my face red. The divine Miss Upshaw. Dawn Upsh...

Liberated Dissonance: The Nielsen Sesquicentenial
http://liberateddissonance.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-nielsen-sesquicentenial.html
A blog about music, mostly. Tuesday, June 9, 2015. Be that as it may, his music has meant a great deal to me ever since I first caught his Fourth Symphony, "The Inextinguishable," on the radio when I was in high school. Nielsen is best known for his six symphonies and his three concertos, of course, but he wrote much else, including two full-length operas - Hey, Philadelphia Opera Company, how about staging Maskarade?

Liberated Dissonance: March 2015
http://liberateddissonance.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
A blog about music, mostly. Monday, March 30, 2015. A window on the infinite. I don’t mean to imply the performance lagged. Conductor Valentin Radu possessed a sure sense of the score’s momentum, which is essential for this long piece to retain interest. The two hours-plus performance time slipped past without a single longeur that I can recall. Sometimes, no matter how much I enjoy a concert, I am happy to get to the end. This was not one of those times. Labels: Ama Dues Ensemble. Mass in B Minor. A mus...

Liberated Dissonance: January 2015

A blog about music, mostly. Sunday, January 18, 2015. A great night of Copland, Gershwin and some other guy. Pianist Peter Donohoe, left, and conductor Valentin Radu. After the concert Friday night. And the Concerto in F, as well as the regional premiere of Aaron Copland’s 1926 Piano Concerto. Any one of those would have made the evening feel complete, but as Peter said afterward, he had traveled a long way for this concert. He might as well try to fit everything in.
