I know you all were probably wondering why I didn't post the last three days. No? I plan to tell you anyway. 😊

My brother leaves at the end of the week to go back to university, so I have been spending as much time with him as possible, even if that means we are simply in the same room doing two different things. I can't believe I will have to say goodbye to him again. I know it is for a short time if we compare it to forever, but I love having him at home with me. He and Dad have been doing a lot together as well, which I know Julien looks forward to.

This is a fast update as we must head out so I can get to ballet on time. I hope everyone has a wonderful week! 💛

[capn-o-my-soul]

went back to the cd store today! they had EVEN MORE classical music and it was fabulous! i got four things

(top left) Respighi's Roman Trilogy (pines of rome, fountains of rome, roman festivals) recorded by Riccardo Muti and the philadelphia orchestra. muti's a great conductor and i love the philly orchestra's sound! however this was quite cheap so that makes me curious about it. i haven't listened to it yet but i look forward to it!

(bottom left) Trumpet music by Maurice Andre! this is 2 cds with a shit ton of baroque and classical trumpet solo pieces recorded by possibly the best trumpet player in the world before he died, so, as a trumpet player, i was obligated to purchase this once i saw it. i also have not heard this yet but i look forward to hearing it! one of the pieces he plays is the Haydn trumpet concerto in e-flat, which in addition to being perhaps the most well-known trumpet concerto in existence is the piece i played at my district solo & ensemble festival this year! maurice's recording of the haydn concerto is probably one of the best out there, alongside tine thing helseth in my opinion

(bottom right) Sibelius 5th symphony & Andante Festivo & Karelia Overture recorded by Neeme Jarvi & Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra. Gothenburg isn't my favorite orchestra but the 5th is just a fabulous symphony and was a nice addition to my small collection! i am not familiar with how Jarvi conducts sibelius so it will be interesting to see how it goes! i also have not heard the two couplings (i've heard the karelia suite but not the overture) so it should be fun!

(top right) Shostakovich opera Katerina Ismailova recorded by the soloists, choir, and orchestra of the Kiev Opera under the direction of Stepan Tourtchak. i have never heard of this orchestra, this choir, these singers, this conductor, or even this record label but i am listening to it as i write this and the sound is not terrible (it gets a little distorted when the full chorus sings loudly but it is completely managable) and it seems to be a pretty good performance! and i wanted to get it because it seems to be pretty rare and thought it might get swiped up soon! (the last time i went there was a full performance of Berg's Wozzeck and i wanted to get it this time and it was gone :'( )(interestingly Wozzeck was purchased but the two copies of Carmen and the many copies of several Wagner operas all remained unsold)

in conclusion, a successful trip! i only spent like 23 dollars after tax so i'm happy with that. they had a recording of khachaturian's gayane suite (also the only khachaturian cd in the whole store) that i really wanted to get but it alone was 17 dollars and i did Not have the money for that lol

Suede in Gothenburg:

Arrived at the festival just after it opened, met up with Scandi Insatiable friends and began the long wait in the tent. Luckily it was set up with benches for the orchestra so we had a comfy place to sit and eat and wait. The Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra did 90 minutes with various guest singers (famous in Sweden but the only one I knew of was Jose Gonzalez) which was nice but not the main event. As they took their bows we swarmed the barrier and I got a spot near the end of the catwalk, facing side-on towards Neil.

Finally it got to 21:30 and the band came on to TOYBAY - leading me to suspect we were getting a set like the UK tour. I was wrong though as they launched into She, Trash, Animal Nitrate and kept the hits going. From there on it was almost entirely singles, with the exception of By The Sea and Personality Disorder, which meant rare outings for some of the hits that don't make it into the regular UK set like Filmstar and Everything Will Flow.

Brett went for his usual leap off of the stage for The Drowners but unable to go into the crowd, he prowled around the barrier, grabbing hold of my hand towards the end of verse 1 and keeping it for a precious few seconds. His usual mic cable wrangler wasn't in attendance so he had some trouble getting round to the other side.

He started making use of the catwalk at the end of We Are The Pigs, the stamping of his feet reverberating off the hollow floor, then followed up with a lie-down for a stunning By The Sea.

Following Everything Will Flow and Can't Get Enough I was worried that they weren't going to play the song I was hoping for, but then Neil was handed an acoustic guitar and Brett said we were staying in 1999 and he gave his Wild Ones speech about music bringing people together before settling on She's In Fashion. The Suede song that's been with me for the longest and one of the singles that has evaded me at live sets back home where they never play it. It was lovely, magical, a big check off of the wishlist.

So Young, Metal Mickey and Beautiful Ones signalled the end and I assumed there was to be no encore - there were no songs left! - but the lights stayed down and they reappeared to play Saturday Night. Brett strolled back down the catwalk and faced my direction to sing "sat there in a black chair, office furniture" to me. I didn't have an arm outstretched to him but he reached out for me and I stood on tiptoe and reached as far as I could, missing him by mere millimetres as the both of us tried to make a connection, him avoiding grabbing onto the hands of the people beside and behind me vying for his attention until it was clear he wasn't going to get to grip my hand again. Devastating, but still so special to be chosen by him despite the impossibility of his goal.

All too soon the 90 minutes were up and we all dispersed into the night, the wild afterparty becoming just a quiet drink. It feels strange not to be doing it all again tomorrow but thankfully I only have to wait a week to do it all again.

Charles Dean Dixon (January 10, 1915 – November 3, 1976) was a conductor. He studied conducting at the Juilliard School and Columbia. When early pursuits of conducting engagements were stifled because of racial bias, he formed his orchestra and choral society. He guest-conducted the NBC Symphony Orchestra and the New York Philharmonic during its summer season. He guest-conducted the Philadelphia Orchestra and Boston Symphony Orchestra. He won the Ditson Conductor's Award. He left the US for the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. He was the principal conductor of the Gothenburg Symphony in Sweden, the Sydney Symphony Orchestra in Australia, and the hr-Sinfonieorchester in Frankfurt. During his time in Europe, he guest-conducted with the WDR Sinfonieorchester in Cologne and the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks in Munich. He made several recordings with the Prague Symphony Orchestra for Bärenreiter, including works of Beethoven, Brahms, Haydn, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Schumann, Wagner, and Weber. For Westminster Records, his recordings included symphonies and incidental music for Rosamunde by Schubert, symphonic poems of Liszt, and symphonies of Schumann. He recorded several American works for the American Recording Society in Vienna. Some of his WDR broadcast recordings were issued on Bertelsmann and other labels. He introduced the works of many American composers, such as William Grant Still, to European audiences. During the 1968 Olympic Games, he conducted the Mexican National Symphony Orchestra. He returned to the US for guest-conducting engagements with the New York Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Detroit Symphony, Milwaukee Symphony, Pittsburgh Symphony, St. Louis Symphony, and San Francisco Symphony. He served as the conductor of the Brooklyn Philharmonic, where he gained fame for his children's concerts. He conducted most of the major symphony orchestras in Africa, Israel, and South America. His last appearance in the US was conducting the Philadelphia Orchestra in April 1975. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence https://www.instagram.com/p/CnO8yZGrMgs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I am very fortunate to have several performances of my music coming up this year!

These include world premieres of pieces like "Rán" with Malmö Symphony Orchestra at Malmö Live, "Drífa" with the new string quintet R5 at Odeum in Lund and "Södergran Songs" with Fredrik Hagerberg & Josefin Sundström in Nagu, Finland.

More information about these concerts (as well as more concert dates) will soon follow! The project "Fred i vår tid", with the amazing Gothenburg Oboe Quartet, will also return to the concert stage. I urhe everyone to be on the lookout for that! 🤩

This weeks topic looks at music inspired by Easter. We start with Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s Russian Easter Festival, Overture, Op. 36 performed by the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra conducted by Neeme Järvi.

Handel’s Messiah, composed in the space of a few weeks, around Easter 1741 is a timeless classic. The great bass aria ‘Why Do The Nations So Furiously Rage Together’ is sung for us by Samuel Ramey with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra conducted by Andrew Davis.

The English composer Thomas Tallis, who played a vital role in the early development of music in England composed a beautiful setting of verses from Lamentations. De lamentatione from The Lamentations Of Jeremiah is performed for us by The Hilliard Ensemble.

Finally, the exultant finale from Mahler Symphony No 2 Resurrection is given a rapturous performance by theNew York Philharmonic Orchestra, The Collegiate Chorale conducted by Leonard Bernstein

For anyone who’s even a little interested in classical music I want to recommend this symphony by Ruth Gipps, it’s from 1965 and so incredibly beautiful, but it’s very unknown because guess 3 times why! Ruth Gipps was an extremely talented oboist, pianist, conductor and composer from England and her style is very romantic (and imo quite cinematic), so I think this could be very likeable for most people. It’s the kind of piece I fell in love with instantly and I’ve only grown to love it more and more which is actually quite rare. It’s only been recorded once (and only has about 1000 listens on spotify) and I’m pretty sure this is the first video production of it (and it’s the first time it’s been performed outside of England). I really want it to get decent streaming numbers cause it’s what she deserves and there’s been so little motivation to promote it for some reason, it really kinda pisses me off because we don’t often do pieces by female composers and this is genuinely so so so so so good, so please give it a chance. Bonus for you is that after, you’ll be able to brag that your favorite classical piece is ‘something you’ve probably never heard of’! 

Ruth Gipps - Symphony no 3 performed by Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra (it’s available until may 24th)

Now there is only a couple of days margin from the release date with the Album Past Future which took place 13 years ago with Gothenburg's symphony.

An innovation between a self-taught rock bass player and 100 fully trained symphony orchestra musicians. Perhaps a unique album of its kind!

There were also 18 performances with the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra and 13 performances with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra plus a couple more symphony orchestras.

I probably wouldn't have even dared to dream about this when I was sitting in the boys' room and trying to bring the base to life.

I want to take my hat off for being a part of this musical adventure!!! Taste test with me and the Gothenburg Symphony in front of 150 million television viewers around Europe at this opening of the EC Athletics at Götaplatsen in Gothenburg 2006. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=v6mM7lKgIsU

Wishing you a Happy End of 2022! Magnus
