Post-Imperial cultural tripe, a few steps above Disney.  I didn't bother 
giving this piece a listen because one of my most unsatisfying gigs was 
playing the piper in a stint of Orkney Wedding.  It was clear that the 
composer knew very little about the pipes.  From the ornaments alone it 
was clear he hadn't even given the most basic tutor a once over, because 
one or two were impossible and most were pointless.  It required the piper 
to start in the lobby and walk in from the stage right.  Fair enough, 
except the piper's part starts on the beat four of the bar previous to the 
orchestra...playing the same melody a beat ahead of the orchestra.  You 
are supposed to do this while waiting off stage without being able to see 
the conductor.  Add to that the fact the conductor spoke only Japanese, 
and no one in the orchestra gave the piper a cursory "hello."  Like 
playing with the Cheiftains, it may be prestigious but afterwards you feel 
like a cheap trick.  Wham, bam, there's the door.

I managed to listen for a few minutes, then had to switch off.  The little
that I heard clearly demonstrated the composer's lack of understanding of
the instrument and its music.  Bagpipe music is all about the relationship
between melody and drones, yet we were subjected to strange intervals that
neither sit comfortably on the chanter nor relate to the drone
accompaniment.  Previous works by this composer have included a piece for
pipes which goes beyond the range of the chanter - enough said??? More

[NSP] Re: Kathryn Tickell on Radio 3

2006-10-28 Thread GibbonsSoinne
Regular readers will know I'm not a fan of KT's usual playing style, but  Max 
has got some good piping out of her. Some of the crispest rapid  staccato 
I've ever heard her play. Some open fingered trills too, mind - are  they Max's 
or hers, or did they agree on them?
 
The piece is good to listen to - but Max didn't attempt to stick to a  
Northumbrian style - what traditional elements there are come from Orkney. At  
least 
with this he has accepted the necessity with NSP of working within  the range 
of the pipes - the harmonics in his 'Cross Lane Fair' were  very unhappy. Cor 
anglais playing with NSP gives a blend of sounds worth  hearing again, and 
perhaps this is enough justify the piece.
 
The mic placement was maybe a problem - but string quartet, cor anglais and  
double bass can make quite a loud noise together if the players have to -  NSP 
is stuck with a steady mf.

I managed to listen to the broadcast this week also.  As Richard mentioned, 
the pipes were quite subdued in the mix, and that was disappointing. 
Enjoyed it anyway.

2006-10-27 Thread Richard Shuttleworth

Thanks for the heads-up.  I managed to catch it but was quite disappointed. 
The pipes were under-recorded most of the time and were often drowned out by 
the orchestra.  The second (slow) movement raised my hopes for a while but 
sadly missed a golden opportunity to showcase the pipes, almost as though to 
composer didn't really know how to treat the instrument and tried to bend it 
into a classical mold instead of taking advantage of the traditional gendre 
that the pipes could have made available to him.

None of the above detracts from Kathryn's playing, she was superb!

Just my 2 pence work,

Richard

It's working right now as I'm in the middle of the relevant piece.
Probably won't be available after today though, as they take them down
after seven days - may not even be available later this evening.

I'm in no position to comment on Kathryn's playing style but it
certainly doesn't sound like the sort of pipe music she usually plays on
her albums. Of course, on her albums she's not got the Northern Sinfonia
playing with her either.

Tis good.

The BBC seems to be having difficulty with the archiving feature; they 
have 'Performance on 3' archived for all days this week but friday.

At the top of their radio player 
(http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/radio3.shtml) it currently says "We 
regret that many programmes are unavailable. We are working to restore 
normal service"... so hopefully it'll show up soon.

Was this program ever archived?  I seem to be completely unable to find it.

Thanks!
