IMZ INTERNAL NEWS | 5 stigated by the Swedish mezzo-soprano Anne Sofie von Otter featuring music written by Jewish composers during World War II – most of whom were interned at the Nazi concentration camp, 60 km north of Prague, and died before the war’s end. The documentary was shot on location in Theresienstadt and London and includes interviews with two surviving Theresienstadt inmates, both musicians from different walks of life.

Mahlermania – Nico And The Navigators A progressive outlook versus fear of the unknown, the bitterness of the outsider versus a yearning for greener grass, a manic drive versus self-absorption… Gustav Mahler‘s music is a mass of contrasts and dualities linked only by a weak tissue of shifting balances. Nico and the Navigators tackle the cosmos of Mahler‘s songs in a production of poetical and physical expression that endeavours to distil this sifting of senses for the stage. For Nico and the Navigators this project represents not only another excursion into musical theatre but also the beginning of a sustained collaboration with the Deutsche Oper.

Co-Operation With NCPA Beijing Continued

Jacques Offenbach Sergei Nakariakov Orpheus In Der Unterwelt No More Wunderkind

In May 2001, Accentus Music filmed three performances of Nabucco – starring Plácido Domingo in the title role – at the National Centre for the Performing Arts in Beijing, thus being the first independent production company ever producing inside NCPA. The successful co-operation will be continued on 22 and 23 August with Accentus Music filming live NCPA’s Gala Concert on the occasion of the bicentennial of Giuseppe Verdi’s birth. An international cast of renowned European and Chinese singers and the NCPA Chorus and Orchestra under the baton of NCPA’s opera director Lu Jia will present excerpts from Verdi’s most famous works. Hugo de Ana will not only be the stage director but also create costumes and settings. A production of ACCENTUS Music in Cooperation with NCPA Beijing.

The opera portrays society as amoral, the upper class as lax and indifferent to all and public opinion in charge of both.

In the early 1980s legendary director Götz Friedrich created his own contemporary version at the Deutsche Oper Berlin. The performance stars Julia Migenes Johnson, Donald Grobe, Astrid Varnay and George Shirley. (101679)

Friedrich Gulda & Friends

Dubbed “The Paganini” and “Caruso of the Trumpet”, Sergei Nakariakov has developed a unique musical voice, which is much more than a vehicle for astonishing virtuosity. The film presents the musician at his best but it also shows the victim of a Soviet child prodigy biography. The mature Nakariakov’s breathtaking virtuosity is contrasted with footage of the child whose lips are sore from practicing. (101681)

Austrian multi-talented pianist and composer Friedrich Gulda initiated the festival Münchner Klaviersommer in the early 1980s as a platform for crossover concerts. In these two programmes from 1982 and 1989, Gulda performs together with Jazz legends Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock as well as the gifted and internationally renowned Cypriote pianist Nicolas Economou.

The opium-fuelled obsessions, flower-like dancers, rural idyll, rolling tumbrel and danse macabre of Berlioz’s 1830 gothic masterpiece Symphonie fantastique conclude the concert of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra with Mariss Jansons at the BBC Proms.

It features special bonus material including Riccardo Chailly discussing his interpretation of the work and a fascinating rendition of Mahler’s own performance on Welte Mignon piano rolls. “The symphony’s irony and double-voicing plays itself in a symphonic analogue to Wagner’s music dramas that, one senses, the conductorIntendant-composer Mahler would have keenly appreciated himself.“ (Gramophone)
