“To you, I am like an old opera, which you are obliged to forget in order to see it again with any pleasure.'' Prosper Mérimée allegedly said this to one of the young ladies surrounding him in his quest for favours we will not mention. We do not know if it had any practical consequences, but it did ignite a spark of inspiration in Peter Brook, Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire and director of mythical theatre, film and opera. Guided by Prosper Mérimée, he asked the French composer Marius Constant to do him a version of the famous Bizet opera that would strike straight to the heart of the fatal seductive powers of Carmen the fortune teller...

Dear friend, this latest quartet of yours is not completely to my liking; actually, you dreamt 3 quartets in one.

The last one would fill with joy the barbarians from a puszta village but not me, since I have my own reserved opinion about its form.

Verlaine & Rimbaud or A Season in Hell

Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924):
La bonne chanson, Op. 61
Hata, Zahharenkova

In London, city of railways, iron bridges, loud carriages and vice-infested streets, Verlaine – drunken, drugged and violent – and Rimbaud – enslaved to his
"infernal bridegroom" by false hopes and broken dreams – were coming to the
end of their turbulent affair. They loved and fought each other with full or broken bottles and knives, but when Verlaine slapped Rimbaud with a dead fish, left for Brussels and threatened to commit suicide, it was the final straw... Rimbaud sold
all Verlaine's clothes and followed him to Brussels, where they had their worst fight. Using the gun with which he had planned to commit suicide, Verlaine shot Rimbaud.
The relationship between the damned souls of “the mad virgin" and “the infernal spouse" is at the core of Rimbaud's account from hell and his attempt to escape
it... As well as his experiences around and away from his life, like the avant-gardist poems which caught the imagination of Benjamin Britten in his absolute
masterwork Les Illuminations.

THURSDAY 19.7. The five Seals of Divinity

16 11.00 Kuhmo Church €15.50/11.50*

The consolidation of Christian, Jewish and Islamic monotheism imposed a strong, manly, divine presence, the character of an almighty father. The cult of Mary, the MOTHER, the queen of the skies and the star of the seas, stands for the feminine face of divinity, nature and the cosmos. Her benevolent protective energy is at the heart of our legends, as the loving soul of creation bringing generosity and altruistic charm to a world where everything and everybody needs it more than ever.

The Eybler rendering is a perfect mirror of Mozart’s last hours on earth. Maybe oppressed by the huge responsibility, maybe driven by an ascetic need for absolute, unadulterated truth, Eybler changed not a note of the score discovered after
Mozart’s demise. No change, no Beethovenian boosting of the material, no
make-over. Just the bare and much more gripping farewell sublimed in sound.
And in their loneliness the last 4 bars glide with Mozart into immortality.

Emperor Joseph II ordered a musical duel between “his”' two star composers:
Salieri and Mozart. Salieri had to produce an opera (Prima la musica poi le parole)
to be performed by an Italian troupe at one end of Schönbrunn Palace orangery. Simultaneously, an opera by Mozart (Der Schauspieldirektor) starring German
singers had to be staged at the other end. Vile, wigged court aristocrats would
give a prize of 50 florins to the better composer. And so on 7.2.1786 Salieri won
the 50 florins and a few false smiles from the royal entourage. Mozart (not to his credit) wrote a bitterly nationalistic letter to his father about the need to promote opera in German and complaining that he had lost the duel. Little did he know that though he had lost the battle, he would win the war.

When World War I broke out in 1914, Kreisler served briefly in the Austrian Army and was wounded in combat against the Russians. He was on a US concert tour in 1917 when the United States entered World War I on the side of the Allies (including at this stage the United States). Because of his previous war service, Kreisler found himself blacklisted by vigilant patriotic and civic organisations protecting the States from foe and vermin. Public prejudice grew. Pittsburgh and then other US cities banned him and his music. He was now an "enemy alien".

Wien Musikverein 31/3 1913.
Webern's first work had just ended. The whistles and the boos started
immediately. In the back row of the stalls, four young people were laughing and tapping each other on the shoulder and speaking more loudly than was
necessary. At the end, violent vociferations erupted, led by the young man
with a little moustache. Look at him Alban, I never saw such a dangerous look on anyone's face. He must be a kind of leader for the other barbarians. But Berg did not answer his friend Anton; he was too worried about the audience’s restless hostility. The singer's performance of some Zemlinsky to some extent tempered the audience's seething outrage. Things reverted almost to normal in the hall. Schönberg had revised his Chamber Symphony after the attacks and the insinuations of "uneducated democratic noises" heaped on his piece a few years earlier. It was now due to start. It did not take long for the anti and pro factions of the audience to start reacting. The first fight broke out on the second balcony and ended with torn suits, buttonless shirts and monocles trampled underfoot. The offended were challenging the offenders to a duel.
Degenerate music!!! Scum!!!
When Berg's piece started, the boos gained in force and virulence.
~ Indecent!! Abject!!! Pornographic!!!
~ Go to the Steinhof (a mental institution well known in Vienna)
~ Arrest those lunatics, out with the corruptors of our race and their degenerate music!! Such were the shouts above the tumult. People started climbing on the stage, knocking down chairs and music stands, then venting their fury on two double basses left there by the terrified musicians. The first violinist went back just to tell the audience that the concert had had to be suspended. The police started emptying the Musikverein. A sergeant grabbed the young man with the little black moustache and pushed him away from one of his yelling friends.
~ Adolf, you were right, those decadent idiots need a new order. And then to the policeman: Very soon you will salute him with all the honours he deserves…
On 24 May Adolf Hitler was expelled by the Viennese authorities to Germany,
where he would no longer be a threat to anyone.

FRIDAY 27.7. Legends

62 11.00 Kuhmo Arts Centre €23/17.50

Vienna in the summer of 1784. Haydn, Dittersdorf as violinist, Mozart as violist and Vanhal on cello had pooled their worldly reputations in a String Quartet. The witness of this ground-breaking event, the composer and tenor Michael Kelly, remembers with his tongue-in-cheek humour that "although Casti (poet/priest) and Paisiello were in the audience, the level of the performance was not of the highest standard, they played quite well but not outstandingly together..."
Nevertheless, the unique encounter of the four greatest composers of all times making music together is one of the strongest images of classic Viennese brilliance. Luckily there is no CD recording of this event so we can still dwell on our illusions.
We might have missed the most outstanding quartet ever.

Fiat Lux / Let there be Light

In April 1992 the Cosmic Background Explorer achieved the unthinkable: the “photography'' of the oldest beam of light ever produced by the Universe. It had travelled 130,000,000,000 light years towards the frontier of our knowledge, carrying the first image of the Creation from the beginning of time. And even further away, the border – “Planck’s Wall'' (10^-33 cm = 10 to the power of 33 cm) – behind which the mysterious germs of the Universe lie hidden in the chinks and crannies of time and space, there where time neither flows nor moves and light cannot escape the prison of the tenebrae.

The Beethoven Burst

Ranked as the second most powerful gamma ray burst ever, it was most likely caused by a neutron star colliding with a black hole, and after a journey of 10,000,000,000 years, the light it generated reached the earth on 16 December 1999, Beethoven’s birthday. Its brightness, intensity and energy were for the discoverer, Dr Schaefer from Yale University, comparable to and named after the only human who could match this unique burst of supernatural strength: Beethoven, born on the same day in the cosmic cycle of violent coincidences some 10,000,000,000 years later.
