FESTIVAL STRINGS LUCERNE

EASTBOUND

Para su nuevo álbum Eastbound, Festival Strings Lucerne ha grabado unas extraordinarias rarezas románticas con arreglos para orquesta de cuerdas.

Consíguelo AQUÍ

Entre las joyas incluidas está "Bilder aus Osten" de Robert Schumann, hábilmente adaptada a un ambicioso estilo sinfónico por Friedrich Hermann, alumno de Mendelssohn, que fue redescubierta por Festival Strings Lucerne hace unos años. También incluye otra bella pieza de Schumann, la apacible y onírica "Abendlied", magistralmente adaptada por Johan Svendsen.

La orquesta también presenta una grabación en primicia mundial del "Andante" de Antonin Dvorak de su Cuarteto de cuerda Op. 9, arreglado por Martin Braun en 2020. También incluye la entrañable Serenata para orquesta de cuerda de Dvorak, célebre por su belleza bohemia y uno de los clásicos originales del repertorio romántico para conjunto de cuerda. El álbum concluye con el animado "Scherzo" del compositor austriaco Franz Schenker, que con una dinámica de danza y una melodía vibrante casi recuerda a Dvořák.

Daniel Dodds

Daniel Dodds es violinista y pedagogo, y desde 2012 es director artístico del Festival Strings Lucerne, además de primer concertino del conjunto, cargo que asumió en 2000. Dodds, de ascendencia australiano-china, ha actuado como solista con directores como Zubin Mehta, Vladimir Ashkenazy y Oksana Lyniv, en colaboración con orquestas como Festival Strings Lucerne, la Orquesta Sinfónica de Lucerna, la Orquesta de la Svizzera Italiana, la Orquesta Sinfónica de Melbourne y la Australian World Orchestra.

Festival Strings Lucerne

Festival Strings Lucerne se fundó en 1956, estableciéndose rápidamente entre las orquestas de cámara más distinguidas de Europa y de todo el mundo. La orquesta ofrece un amplio repertorio en su propio ciclo de conciertos en la KKL de Lucerna y como conjunto invitado en el Festival de Lucerna, al tiempo que actúa regularmente en salas de conciertos europeas como la Elbphilharmonie de Hamburgo, la Philharmonie de Berlín, el Het Concertgebouw de Ámsterdam y el Musikverein de Viena. La orquesta, cuyo repertorio abarca desde la música barroca hasta la contemporánea, ha estrenado más de cien obras de compositores como Jean Françaix, Frank Martin, Bohuslav Martinů, Sándor Veress, Iannis Xenakis, Krzystof Penderecki, Klaus Huber y Peter Ruzicka.

查理．席姆 Charlie Siem (小提琴) 保羅．古德溫 Paul Goodwin (指揮) 慕尼黑廣播管弦樂團 Münchner Rundfunkorchester

1986年出生於英國倫敦，遠祖為十九世紀挪威小提琴大師布爾（Ole Bull），席姆拜當代名家明茲（Shlomo Mintz）為師，十八歲便與皇家愛樂合作演出。畢業於英國皇家音樂學院及劍橋學院後，憑藉著高超的琴藝和迷人的樣貌，席姆沒有參加小提琴比賽便已備受矚目，不僅在古典樂壇發光發熱，更與搖滾天團「The Who」、布萊恩亞當斯等同台演出，如今他也身兼英國里茲音樂學院客座教授，創下英國有史以來最年輕教授的紀錄。

超級男模的外在條件，讓國際精品品牌Dior、Dunhill、Armani與Boss紛紛邀請席姆擔任代言人。2014年加盟SONY後所發行的首張專輯【燦爛星光下】（Under the Stars），有別於過去的嚴肅古典曲目，席姆挑選並演奏了十三首最受歡迎的小提琴精品，全都是作曲大師的經典小品，像是德布西的《月光》、德弗札克的《母親教我的歌》、布拉姆斯的《匈牙利舞曲》、柴可夫斯基的《憂傷小夜曲》、艾爾加的《愛的禮讚》等等，席姆以帶著懷舊氛圍的錄音，向百年前的浪漫歐洲致敬。

過去的小提琴大師為了演出需要，經常親自創作或改編，因而誕生了許多膾炙人口的名曲，席姆在【燦爛星光下】也詮釋了克萊斯勒的《吉普賽女郎》、胡拜改編的《卡門幻想曲》、及他祖先布爾改編的《寂寞山脈》。為了呼應這百年餘音，專輯最後一首收錄席姆自己所作的《華蓋》（Canopy），甜美且醉人。在英國指揮大師古德溫率領慕尼黑廣播管弦樂團���伴奏下，席姆全然展現出身兼名家與明星的雙重魅力。

Friday speeds past, and Isak feels as if he’s racing through it. Classes whizz by; forty minutes fly like ten. He sees Emma and her crew in the courtyard, so he spins right around and goes back inside. He does the same to Jonas, who’s standing near their lockers, scratching the crown of his head. Isak won’t see him at rehearsal, Jonas hasn’t been called. He checked.

At rehearsal, he tries something new. He leaves the script on Chris’s desk and raises his eyebrows at her. She nods, wordlessly sliding the script to the corner.

Carl August Nielsen (9 June 1865 – 3 October 1931) was a Danish composer, conductor and violinist, widely recognized as his country's most prominent composer. Brought up by poor yet musically talented parents on the island of Funen, he demonstrated his musical abilities at an early age. He initially played in a military band before attending the Royal Danish Academy of Music in Copenhagen from 1884 until December 1886. He premiered his Op. 1, Suite for Strings, in 1888, at the age of 23. The following year, Nielsen began a 16-year stint as a second violinist in the Royal Danish Orchestra under the conductor Johan Svendsen, during which he played in Giuseppe Verdi's Falstaff and Otello at their Danish premieres. In 1916, he took a post teaching at the Royal Danish Academy and continued to work there until his death.

Norwegian / old norse names and places

Every now and then I come across a book, movie, TV-series, fanfic, game or whatever, that mention a fictional "Norwegian" or "norse" place or person, and it just sounds so wrong it makes me either cringe or ROFL. Really. I still haven't recovered from the 1995 X-files episode, "Død Kalm", which took us to the port of "Tildeskan" where we met "Henry Trondheim", "Halverson" and "Olafsson".  Hopefully this list will keep others from being that “creative” with names. :)

Common names for places, towns and villages in Norway

These names are very generic and suitable for a place, village or town anywhere (and pretty much any time) in Norway. Mix and match prefixes with suffixes for diversity.  Bonus: All of these can also be used as surnames. Name (meaning) - usage

Nes (headland, cape, ness) - Standalone ​ Bø (fenced-in field on a farm) - Standalone Fjell (mountain) -  Standalone or prefix/suffix: Fjell- / -fjell Haug (small hill / large mound)  -  Standalone or prefix/suffix: Haug- / -haug Vik, Viken, Vika (inlet, the inlet, the inlet) -  Standalone or prefix/suffix: Vik- / -viken / -vika Ås, Åsen (hill, the hill (larger than "Bakken")) - Standalone or prefix/suffix: ​ Dal, Dalen (valley, the valley) - Standalone or prefix/suffix: ​ Berg (small mountain) - Standalone or prefix/suffix: Berg(s)- / -berg Sand (sand) - Standalone or prefix/suffix: Sand- / -sand Strand (beach) -  Standalone or prefix/suffix: Strand- / -strand Li (hill) -  Standalone or prefix/suffix: Li- / -li Gran (spruce) -  Standalone or prefix: Gran- Bratt (steep) - prefix only: Bratt- Myr (bog, mire) - prefix only: Myr- Neset, Nesset (the headland, the cape, the ness) - Standalone or suffix: ​-neset / -nesset Odden (foreland, headland) - Standalone or suffix: ​ -odden Våg (cove, bay) - Standalone or suffix: -våg Lund (grove) - Standalone or suffix: -lund Sund (sound, strait) -  Standalone or suffix:  -sund Skog (forest) prefix/suffix: Skog- / -skog Øy (island) prefix/suffix: Øy- / -øy øya (the island) - suffix only: ​ -øya bakken  (the hill) - suffix only: -bakken  gard / gård / gården (farm / farm / the farm) - suffix only: -gard / -gård / -gården elv, -elva (river, the river) suffix only: -elv / -elva stad (old word for town/place) suffix only: -stad vannet (the lake) - suffix only: -vannet

Common words that can be used as prefix to any of the suffixes above Svart- (black)  Lille- (little/small)  Sol- (sun)  Brei-/Bred- (wide)  Stor- (big) Lang- (long)

Common Norwegian surnames (contemporary)

Heredatory surnames didn't become mandatory in Norway until 1923. Many took the name from the farm or place they lived, or just changed their primary patronyms into hereditary patronyms. Example: Helgessønn/Helgesdatter (son of Helge / daughter of Helge) became Helgesen.

Names usage Double names, like Ragnhild Johanne or Ole Martin are common in Norway. Just keep them as two names and don't use "-", and you'll be safe, even if it ends up a tongue twister. Using only one of two given names is also common practice.

In Norway everyone is on a first name basis. Students call teachers and other kids' parents by their first name, workers call their boss by their first name, we call our Prime Minister by her first name (journalists will use her title when speaking to her though). Some senior citizens still use surnames and titles when speaking of or to  people their own age.

There are some exceptions. For example, a doctor may be referred to as Dr. Lastname when we speak of them, but first name is used when speaking to them. A priest is "the priest" when speaking of him/her and their first name is used when spaking to them. In the millitary only surnames (and ranks) are used. If you meet Harald, the King of Norway, in an official setting you will refer to him as "Kongen" (the king). If you run into him at the gas station, or while hiking, he is "Harald".

If you don't know someone's name it is okay to use their title, or just say "you".

Names for pets (contemporary)

Dogs Laika (f) Bamse (m) (bear) Tinka (f) Loke/Loki (m) + characters from TV/film/books...

Cats Melis (m/f) (powdered sugar) Mango (m/f) (mango) Pus (f) (kitty) Mons (m) (tomcat) Nala (f) Pusur (m) (Garfield) Felix (m)  Simba (m) + characters from TV/film/books...

Horses Pajazz (m) Mulan (f) Balder (m) - cold blood Kompis (m) (pal) Freya (f) - cold blood + characters from TV/film/books...

Rabbits Trampe (m) (Thumper) Trulte (f) + characters from TV/film/books...

Cows (yes, I am serious) Dagros Rosa Mira Luna Sara + characters from TV/film - Disney is popular, as are the Kardashians :)

Road and street names

Storgata (usually the main street) Kongens gate (the king's street) Dronningens gate (the queen's street) Jernbanegata (railroad street) Jernbaneveien (railroad road) Sjøgata (ocean street) Sjøveien, Sjøvegen (ocean road) Skolegata (school street) Torvgata (plaza street) Industrigata (industrial street) Industriveien (industrial road)

Prefixes Blåbær- (blueberry) Bringebær- (raspberry) Bjørke- (birch) Aspe- (asp) Kastanje- (chestnut) Solsikke- (sun flower) Blåklokke- (blue bell) Nype- (rosehip) Kirke- (church) Park- (park)

Suffixes -veien, -vegen (the road)  -stien (the path)

Other Torvet (the plaza) - standalone or suffix: -torvet Havna (the port) - standalone or suffix: -havna Kaia (the port) - standalone or suffix: -kaia

Safe solution: use a first name or surname as prefix.

Bynames Bynames, or nicknames, could be neutral, praising or condescending. Usually bynames described a person's

body, bodyparts, bodily features

age

kinship and descent

territorial origin

knowledge, belief, spirituality

clothing, armour

occupation, social position

nature

Examples: Eirik Blodøks (Eirik Blood-Axe), Gammel-Anna (old Anna), Halte-Ása (limping Ása). I suggest that you stick with English for bynames, or use (relatively) modern language if you are writing in Norwegian. 

Surnames

Surnames weren't really a thing until 1923 when they became mandatory. Before 1923 patronyms (son/daughter of) were used, and the name of the farm you lived on was often added as an address. 

For instance: Helgi Eiriksøn (Helgi, son of Eirik), who lived at the farm called Vollr (grass field), would be called Helgi Eiriksøn Vollr. If he moved to the farm called Haugr his name would change to Helgi Eiriksøn Haugr.

Patronyms

Men: Use father's first name and add -sen /-son /-sønn Women: Use father's first name and add -dotter / -dottir / -datter

Farm names

Farm names were usually relevant and derived from either the location, a nearby landmark, nature or from occupation.  I suggest you stick with the modern forms for farm names.

Old Norse (meaning) - modern Bekkr (stream) - Bekk, Bekken Dalr (valley) - Dal, Dahl Horn (horn) - Horn Vollr (field) - Vold, Volden Lundr (grove) - Lund

The list of common names for places/villages/towns is still valid, although the spelling is modern. Just keep it simple and make "clever" combos based on meaning.
