MAGAZINE
In this latest edition of Muso magazine, we meet
conductor and English National Opera music director Edward
Gardner. He reveals how it feels to wield the baton over
such iconic operas as Tosca and Idomeneo, how
Duke Bluebeard's Castle haunted his dreams and why he
thinks collaboration is vital to modern music making.
We head to Manchester's Bridgewater Hall to speak to composer
Ludovico Einaudi as he celebrates the release of
his new record, Nightbook. We also hear from
composer-blogger Nico Muhly, profile the
London Contemporary Orchestra and stop for coffee
with up-and-coming EMI violinist Vilde Frang.
Elsewhere, we tap away to uncover the best iPhone music
applications and unearth the top CDs, DVDs, books and
software in our regular reviews section.
This issue includes exclusive sheet music
featuring six new piano pieces by British composers commemorating
Haydn, commissioned by Matthew Schellhorn.
