So what musical anniversaries (births, deaths, first performances etc) should we be celebrating in 2015?
-
"The sound is the handwriting of the conductor" - Bernard Haitink -
For me Jean Sibelius 150 Birthday Anniversary. -
The Sibelius anniversary was one I knew. Another one of interest for EA is the first performance centenary on October 28 of Eine Alpensinfonie.Originally posted by Black Swan View Post"The sound is the handwriting of the conductor" - Bernard HaitinkComment

Oh, Dukas and Glazunov too. Wallace died.
1915: Diamond born, Goldmark & Scriabin died.I keep hitting the Escape key, but I'm still here!Comment

Indeed - and with Sibelius... I hadn't twigged that they were born the same year as one another.Originally posted by LeMartinPecheur View PostCarl Nielsen b.1865 - hurrah!
Is a 'Nordic Immersion' weekend or week on the horizon on R3?
Jeeves: prepare the birch twigs !!!"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

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.Comment
