How French was the music of Duruflé?

|
By Patrick Maxwell
| The Article
It’s been said that between Bach (d.1750) and Messiaen (b.1908) no music of note was written for the organ. There’s something, if not everything, in that claim. (It omits Saint-Saëns and Bruckner, for a start.) But it’s certainly also true that Messiaen was only one of a number of inspiring composers for the instrument in France at the start of the twentieth century, as French organ music took off in the years around the Second World War. Maurice Duruflé was primary among them.

Photo: Lithuanian marketing professional Ovidijus Jurevičius. The issues of disinformation and Russia’s hybrid warfare have long been examined in depth, particularly in the Baltic states, where the Russian Federation is already resorting to military pressure. Unidentified drones enter Lithuanian airspace, forcing the parliament to take decisive action. Russian politicians, supported by a majority of their population, now openly declare that the Baltics should return to Russia’s sphere of influence.

Tremendous energy and engagement from Igor Levit at Wigmore Hall

|
By Patrick Maxwell
| Bachtrack
Star pianist Igor Levit came to fame playing the masterworks of his native Germany. It was perhaps no surprise, then, that Schumann was the highlight of his scintillating recital at Wigmore Hall, but it still felt like an impetuous discovery for both performer and listener. Levit performs with consummate musicianship. His interpretations of Schumann, Chopin and Schubert are undoubtedly original, but it's not controversy that Levit’s playing engenders.
