The programme: Mahler's 9th symphony. http://www.abbadiani.it/guppy/news.php?lng=en&pg=987 Last Friday (5.3.2010) Philip Langridge died after a short illness. We had turned 70 last year, but was still singing and only slowly winding down his career. Those of us who heard (and saw!) him, in particular as Shuisky (in "Boris Godunov") will never forget him. He sang the role in nearly all of Claudio Abbado's productions of that opera - from La Scala in 1978 to Salzburg in 1994 (resp. 1998). http://www.abbadiani.it/guppy/news.php?lng=en&pg=984 The new film "Shutter Island" by Martin Scorsese includes music by (amongst others) John Cage, John Adams, Morton Feldman, Alfred Schnittke and György Ligeti. From the latter you can hear the work "Lontano" as played by the Vienna Philharmonic under the direction of Claudio Abbado. http://www.abbadiani.it/guppy/news.php?lng=en&pg=983 Review of the concert given on 24th February 2010 in Caracas.
