Extractions: by Alexander Ivashkin Phaidon 20th Century Composers, 1996 Under the editorship of Norman Lebrecht, Phaidon's series of through-illustrated introductions to 20th century composers has proved visually elegant, refreshingly unstuffy, and useful in providing basic biographical material. This pioneering book-length study of Alfred Schnittke offers much factual background which will be new even to ardent Western enthusiasts of the composer. In doing so, it also tells a story of interest both to the converted and to those more sceptical of Schnittke's worth. Ivashkin acknowledges the negative responses Schnittke's music has evoked in the West, but treats them as the self-evidently unenlightened grumbling of reactionaries soon to be left behind by history. Indeed, so sure is he of his hero's Christ-like irreproachability that detractors appear in these pages in an almost demonic light: There is a lack of irony in this passage - a cultish earnestness - which not only sits uneasily alongside references to Shostakovich but fails to square with the apparent irony of much of Schnittke's work in the 1970s (before his health began to fail and his outlook apparently became shadowed by an obsessive awareness of mortality). The misapprehension that everything in art is normal and nature is still producing its usual supply of geniuses is not exclusive to Russia, of course - but the passionate Russian need for something to believe in often overrides the cynical Russian gift for perceiving that the emperor has no clothes, and such is arguably happening here.

Extractions: Nace en Engel , a orillas del río Volga en Rusia el 24 de noviembre de , en el seno de una familia de emigrantes judíos de origen alemán, llegados a la Unión Soviética hacia 1926. En el padre del compositor es destinado como corresponsal en Viena , trasladándose con toda la familia. En la ciudad musical por excelencia, Schnittke realiza los primeros estudios de piano. Dos años después regresan a Rusia . Mientras continúa con sus estudios de piano, se diploma en dirección coral, ingresando en en el Conservatorio de Moscú para estudiar contrapunto y composición con Eugeny Golubev , así como orquestación con Nikolai Rakov . En los años de aprendizaje, su verdadero mentor fue el compositor Phillip Herschkowitz -discípulo de Webern -, que lo introdujo en la música serial. Tras graduarse en el Conservatorio ( ), ingresa en la Unión de Compositores Soviéticos, obteniendo el año siguiente un puesto de profesor de instrumentación en el Conservatorio de Moscú. En esta época la labor compositiva de Schnittke es extraordinariamente prolífica en lo que a la composición de partituras para el cine se refiere. Metodológicamente encuadrado en el serialismo, pero con una perspectiva casi tonal, destaca en el uso de la orquesta y su envidiable técnica contrapuntística, sin limitarse a una forma determinada.

Extractions: Seid nuchtern und wachet, denn euer Widersacher, der Teufel geht umher wie ein brullender Lowe und suchet, welchen er verschlinge; dem widerstehet fest in Glauben (Be sober and attentive, for your opponent, the Devil, goes around like a roaring lion and seeks someone to devour. Oppose him firmly, your faith assured.) Alfred Garriyevich Schnittke 1934-1998 Alfred Schnittke died after a long illness on the 3rd of August 1998. He is regarded by many as the leading Russian composer of the post-Shostakovich generation and his music has become extremely popular in the West since the 1980s. The parodic, hysteric and chaotic elements of his music have been heard by many as the soundtrack to our witty, ironic, "Post-Everything" age. The events of his life are easily stated. He was born on 24 November 1934 in Engels on the Volga. His parentage was a mixture of Russian, German and Jewish which places him at the confluence of a number of turbulent streams of modern Europe's history and culture. His musical education began in Vienna in 1946. He studied at the Moscow Conservatory and was appointed instructor in instrumentation there in 1962. He held this post until 1972 after which he supported himself with film scoring of which he wrote more than sixty. His music began gaining international acclaim in the 1980s. He suffered the first of a series of strokes in 1985 but remained highly productive. He moved to Hamburg in 1990.

Extractions: came too late. The composer died in August 1998, having endured a series of strokes during the preceding 13 years that finally silenced his creativity. In all other respects, the beginning of the new millennium is an ideal time to explore the music of one often been referred to as the last great twentieth-century composer. No one who attended even a proportion of the BBC's weekend's concerts, talks and films could come away without a sense of Schnittke's legacy, and what it might represent as a cultural touchstone for the future. In addition, students at the Guildhall School had been exploring the composer in depth throughout the week in sessions open to the public, and they also played some of Schnittke's music at pre-concert events in the Barbican foyer. It is doubtful whether any comparable survey in breadth and depth has taken place before? Like so many Soviet composers of the 1930s generation, Schnittke passed through his formative years with scant knowledge of post-war developments in the West. Most of his pre-1963 music he later disowned, though the First Violin Concerto of 1957, closely modelled on that by Shostakovich with an accommodating nod towards Khachaturian, has been revived by such as Mark Lubotsky and Gidon Kremer, and would have been welcome as a counterweight to the numerous concertos written during Schnittke's creative apex of the late 1970s and '80s.

http://www.trovar.com/str/schnittke.html

Extractions: trovar.com Alfred Schnittke on Richter For people of my generation Svyatoslav Richter looms as a lofty peak where live music merges with its history. No matter how often you tell yourself that he is our contemporary, that you can see and hear him - you fail to realize it, because for decades he has been occupying a place of honour along such men as Chopin, Paganini, Liszt, Rachmaninov and Chaliapin, constituting a living link between the present time and eternity. For nearly half a century this man - outwardly self-contained and seemingly inaccessible - has been the centre of Moscow's musical life as performer, sponsor of festivals, the first to notice and assist talented young musicians and artists, the connoisseur of literature, the theatre and the cinema, the collector of paintings, the familiar figure at art exhibitions and himself a painter and a stage director. When he conceives the idea of holding a cycle of concerts on a particular subject, an art festival or an informal recital, his fiery temperament surmounts all and every obstacle in his way. His self-criticism is proverbial: after a wonderful appearance arousing the enthusiastic acclaim of public and press, and inspiring scholarly investigations, he would torture himself for a minute slip which he alone has noticed. There is nothing strange in this attitude, nor does it mean a desire to show off - Richter approaches musical performance with a standard all his own, for he alone knows the original concept and he alone can therefore estimate the degree to which it has been realized. We do not know what perfection haunts his inner ear and can consequently form no conception of what might be the ideal performance as he sees it. We can but feel grateful for the part of his idea that he has succeeded in carrying over, since it exceeds by far anything that we are able to imagine.

Extractions: HARPA Alfred Schnittke ( Biography Alfred Schnittke was born on 24 November 1934 in Engels, on the Volga River, in the Soviet Union. His father was born in Frankfurt to a Jewish family of Russian origin who had moved to the USSR in 1926, and his mother was a Volga-German born in Russia. Schnittke began his musical education in 1946 in Vienna where his father, a journalist and translator, had been posted. In 1948 the family moved to Moscow, where Schnittke studied piano and received a diploma in choral conducting. From 1953 to 1958 he studied counterpoint and composition with Yevgeny Golubev and instrumentation with Nikolai Rakov at the Moscow Conservatory. Schnittke completed the postgraduate course in composition there in 1961 and joined the Union of Composers the same year. He was particularly encouraged by Phillip Herschkowitz, a Webern disciple, who resided in the Soviet capital. In 1962, Schnittke was appointed instructor in instrumentation at the Moscow Conservatory, a post which he held until 1972. Thereafter he supported himself chiefly as a composer of film scores; by 1984 he had scored more than 60 films. From the 1980s, Schnittke's music gained increasing exposure and international acclaim. Schnittke has been the recipient of numerous awards and honors, including Austrian State Prize in 1991, Japan's Imperial Prize in 1992, and, most recently the Slava-Gloria-Prize in Moscow in June 1998; his music has been celebrated with retrospectives and major festivals worldwide. More than 50 compact discs devoted exclusively to his music have been released in the last ten years.
