    Musical Anniversaries 2015

    So what musical anniversaries (births, deaths, first performances etc) should we be celebrating in 2015?

      The Sibelius anniversary was one I knew. Another one of interest for EA is the first performance centenary on October 28 of Eine Alpensinfonie.

              Carl Nielsen b.1865 - hurrah! Oh, Dukas and Glazunov too. Wallace died.

              1915: Diamond born, Goldmark & Scriabin died.

                Indeed - and with Sibelius... I hadn't twigged that they were born the same year as one another.

                Is a 'Nordic Immersion' weekend or week on the horizon on R3?

                Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                  I hadn't realised that. December 9 apparently.

                    I do know this, Schwarzkopf and I share the same Birthday.....
                    I had to check how old she would have been in 2015.

                    It will be interesting to see how Diamond's 100 Birthday will be celebrated. Also, like Cali, I look forward to the Nielsen anniversary as well.

                      Another one:
                      Sviatoslav Richter was born in March 1915.

                        John Sheppard and Cipriano de Rore both born in 1515 (probably).

                          Are you sure about that?

                            Should be March 20 1915.
