Composed by jordi Vilaprinyo. Published by Editorial de Musica Boileau (BO.EI0314).

Within musical activities there exists a great diversity of different aspects that often go far beyond any particular specialization. Of all cultural activities clearly music is one that manifests numerous multidisciplinary features which not only enriches music itself but also all who are involved in it. This is certainly the case of Jordi Vilaprinyo, an excellent pianist, brilliant composer and a dedicated pedagogue with a remarkable career as a professor at the Conservatorio Municipal de Musica de Barcelona and in other educational institutions. All of this is all in addition to his role as a tireless advocate of everything relating to the piano, which reveals his exceptional personality completely dedicated to his greatest passion-music.

T he academic year 2011-12 marked the celebration of the 125th anniversary of the Conservatorio Municipal de Musica de Barcelona. In honor of the occasion, Jordi Vilaprinyo composed a series of eleven short pieces which present a pianistic-musical portrait of each professor of the Piano Department in our Conservatory. This piece, written in the form of a suite, brings together eleven imaginative musical sketches which reflect the personal qualities and musical personalities of his colleagues as seen through the eyes of Mr. Vilaprinyo. These eleven portraits reveal the respect which Jordi feels for his colleagues and at the same time they are ideal teaching pieces.

The various portraits are written in a free and diverse musical language which is always effective. Certain moments are quite evocative while others are more descriptive and, at times, more energetic. The varied textures and sonic balance are always highly controlled and affecting. However, I would like to emphasize, that although the work could be considered as program music due to its personal nature, the pieces stand apart for their musical quality.

Publish ed by Editorial Boileau, the work was premiered in a student concert which Professor Maria Rosa Ribas organizes each year. Professor Ribas is one of the members of the Piano Department depicted in the musical portraits. The premiere, performed by students of the Conservatory, took place in the Auditorio Eduard Toldra on May 30, 2011.

The Onze retrats [Eleven Portraits] are dedicated respectively to the following professors: Carolina Saldana, Merce Molero, Maria Drets, Montserrat Cabero, Maria Jesus Crespo, Carles Marques, Maria Rosa Ribas, Albada Olaya, Montse Padros, Carme Poch and Mireia Planas.

Vi è nella formazione di ogni adepto un periodo fondamentale in cui la musica può essere percepita solo come la realizzazione di una splendida tecnica strumentale, oppure come l’espressione delle più intime sensibilità: Appunti di un flautista indirizza verso questa seconda attitudine, quella più significativa per chi sceglie di coltivare un’arte profonda e certamente ineffabile.
Il libro è la raccolta di tantissime esperienze maturate durante un’intera carriera che ha visto Mario Ancillotti nelle più diverse attività di solista, camerista, orchestrale, insegnante, organizzatore, direttore: tutte attività che derivano da una sete mai saziata di conoscenze nell’immenso campo della musica. Da queste nasce e si fonda dapprima la parte dedicata ai segreti dell’interpretazio ne e dell’ascolto, con esempi pratici corredati da esecuzioni ad opera dello stesso Ancillotti; successivamente ci si indirizza verso la parte più tecnica e strumentale, e poi verso i suggerimenti preziosi che l’esperienza di flautista e musicista eclettico ha dettato all’autore. Sempre nella consapevolezza che la musica è arte sublime ma sfuggente ad ogni rigida prescrizione e che tutto è determinato soltanto dal buon gusto raggiungibile solo con studio e sacrificio.
Il lavoro presenta infine un Repertorio ragionato denso di indicazioni, anch’esso suggerimento personale su tutti quei brani fondamentali per la formazione musicale e tecnica di ogni flautista che vuole divenire un interprete di quest’arte indagatoria e rivelatrice della sfera emotiva.

Orequesta sinfonica, Orquesta camara, voces y coro (Symphony Orchestra, Chamber Orchestra, Solo Voices and Choir)

SKU: BO.B.3472

A la memoria de Salvador Espriu. Composed by Xavier Benguerel. Vocal Music. Choir. Duration 85:00. Published by Editorial de Musica Boileau (BO.B.3472).

ISBN 9788480208130.

Engl ish comments: The Requiem in memory of Salvador Espriu by Xavier Benguerel was commissioned by the Torroella de Montgri International Music Festival for a double commemoration: on the one hand, to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Festival, and on the other, in remembrance of Catalan poet Salvador Espriu in the fifth year after his death. This concert, which was held on 5 October, was a brilliant closing gala performance and it was repeated twice on 6 and 7 October at the Palau de la Musica Catalana in Barcelona. It was performed by the Orchestra and Choir of the Gran Teatro del Liceo, with soloists Enriqueta Tarres, soprano; Nelibel Martinez, mezzo soprano; Eduard Gimenez, tenor; and Carlos Chausson, baritone, with the additional collaboration of baritone Lluis Llach, conducted by Romano Gandolfi.

In my opinion, this work by Benguerel is a piece that was written with passion and sincerity, with great strength and depth, and it contains some very beautiful passages. It is written in a language through which, without abandoning his current musical thoughts, Benguerel manages to communicate with the audience in a dense work that lasts for an hour and a half. It is interspersed with seven poems by Espriu on the subject of death, some sung and others recited, which gives the Requiem great contrasts from a musical and linguistic point of view -in comparison with the Latin texts normally used in a requiem mass-, but within a successful and coherent unity. The performers certainly proved their worth, but much of the hard work that went into preparing the piece can be attributed not only to the performers, the composer and the poet in tribute to whom the work was written, but also to the conductor Romano Gandolfi, who is largely responsible for the success of the three performances of this Requiem. Benguerel himself says of the work: This Requiem is linked to my previous work, the Llibre Vermell, and it has been written without making any concessions, but with a true wish to communicate with the audience. I've got past the stage of musical experiments and I'm now working on bridging the gap between composer and audience, which I'm sure will be good for both.
--Comments written by Jordi Codina in the December 1990 issue of Nexus magazine

Comentario s del Espanol: El Requiem a la memoria de Salvador Espriu de Xavier Benguerel ha sido compuesto por encargo del Festival Internacional de Musica de Torroella de Montgri para una doble conmemoracion: por una parte, el decimo aniversario del Festival; por otra, el recuerdo de la figura del poeta catalan Salvador Espriu en el quinto ano de su fallecimiento. Este concierto, celebrado el dia 5 de octubre, constituyo una sesion de gala y de clausura brillante y tuvo una doble repeticion los dias 6 y 7en el Palau de la Musica Catalana de Barcelona. Fueron sus interpretes la Orquesta y el Coro del Gran Teatro del Liceo, con los solistas vocales Enriqueta Tarres, soprano; Nelibel Martinez, mezzo; Eduard Gimenez, tenor; y Carlos Chausson, baritono, con la colaboracion del tambien baritono Lluis Llach. Todos bajo la direccion de Romano Gandolfi.

A mi entender, la obra de Benguerel es una partitura escrita con pasion y sinceridad, posee una gran solidez, es profunda y contiene pasajes de una gran belleza. Esta escrita en un lenguaje con el que Benguerel, sin renunciar a su actual pensamiento musical, alcanza la comunicacion con el publico en una obra densa que dura una hora y media. La intercalacion de siete poemas de Espriu relacionados con el tema de la muerte, en una interpretacion cantada o recitada, segun los casos, otorga al Requiem grandes contrastes desde un punto de vista musical y lingŸistico Ð en contraposicion con los textos latinos propios de una misa de requiem Ð, pero dentro de una unidad conseguida y coherente. La labor de los interpretes demostro su categoria y el trabajo exhaustivo en la preparacion de la obra, que, ademas de los interpretes, el compositor y el poeta homenajeado, tuvo otro gran protagonista en la persona del director Romano Gandolfi, a quien se debe una gran parte del exito obtenido en las tres audiciones de este Requiem. El propio Benguerel ha dicho de la obra: Este Requiem entronca con mi obra anterior, el Llibre Vermell, y ha sido escrito sin concesiones, pero con una voluntad real de comunicacion con el publico. La epoca de los experimentos musicales ya se me paso y he entrado en una nueva etapa de acercamiento entre el compositor y el publico que, estoy convencido, beneficiara a ambos.

English comments:
This is the definitive version of Biogenesis, a piece that Cervello had written in 1976, together with his friend Jorge Wagensberg, and which was awarded the First Prize at the Spanish Ministry for Education and Science's Permanent Composition and Musical Research Competition. The new version was made at 1984-85 Lux et umbra is written for a string group consisting of four first and four second violins, three violas, three cellos and a double bass. The conceptual battle between darkness and light is represented by the instability between the notes B and C, and by the compartmentation of the group of fifteen strings into divisi that provide an independent arrangement for each instrument, thus bestowing great substance upon the texture of the music. A cello cadence emerges from a slow and straightforward beginning. A process of contrasts then begins, culminating in a molto vivace passage of a scherzando nature, which alludes to the Baroque concerti grossi. The music once again plays with chiaroscuro until reaching its climax, from which point the conclusion slowly begins, establishing itself in the high register until fading away. The work was first performed at Barcelona's Palau de la Musica by the English Chamber Orchestra, directed by Enrique Garcia Asensio, in 1987. That same year, in the newspaper El Pais, the observations of the composer and critic Francesc Taverna-Bech paid tribute to the work's intelligence as regards the use of and search for instrumental resources (in this case, string instruments, about which Cervello knows a great deal), the skill involved in endowing the lyrical line with tension, and a singular touch that confers formal essence upon the musical discourse. In La Vanguardia, Jordi Llovet wrote that this is a work in which, as is the case with most of Cervello's compositions, the listener finds something covertly religious, a mysterious secret, a transcendence linked to the origins of communication requiring more than a single being, which provides excitement. In 1990, when the Orquesta de Granada (Orchestra of Granada) performed the work at Barcelona's Grec festival, the critic Cesar Calmell opined, in the same newspaper, that inch by inch, surely and imperturbably, Cervello built up a perfect world that reflects the image of the craftsman who, so astonished at the delights of his trade, is unable to do anything but turn the very backdrop of tragedy into something pleasant. Lux et umbra was recorded by the Orchestra Estatal of the Hermitage, conducted by Alexis Soriano (CD SA01210 Fundacion Autor). --Xavier Casanoves Danes Music critic

Comentari os del Espanol:
Se trata de la version definitiva de Biogenesis, obra que habia escrito en 1976 en colaboracion con su amigo Jorge Wagensberg y que obtuvo el Primer Premio, en el ano de su creacion, en el Concurso Permanente de Composicion e Investigacion Musical del Ministerio de Educacion y Ciencia. La nueva version fue realizada en 1984-85. Lux et umbra esta escrita para un grupo de cuerda integrado por cuatro primeros violines, cuatro segundos, tres violas, tres violoncelos y un contrabajo. El combate filosofico entre la oscuridad y la luz lo lleva a cabo la inestabilidad entre las notas si y do y la compartimentacion del grupo de quince cuerdas en unos divisi que llegan a una escritura independiente para cada instrumento, otorgando una gran importancia a la textura sonora. De un principio lento y descarnado emerge una cadencia del violonchelo. A continuacion da comienzo un proceso de contrastes que culmina en un pasaje molto vivace de caracter scherzando que alude a los concerti grossi del barroco. La musica juega de nuevo con el claroscuro hasta llegar a la cumbre sonora iniciando el final lentamente que se instala en el registro agudo hasta desvanecerse. La estreno en el Palau de la Musica de Barcelona la English Chamber Orchestra en el ano 1987 bajo la direccion de Enrique Garcia Asensio. Ese mismo ano, en el periodico El Pais, el compositor y critico Francesc Taverna-Bech reconocia en sus comentarios la inteligencia en el uso y la busqueda de los recursos instrumentales -en este caso la cuerda, de la que Cervello es profundo conocedor-, la destreza para revestir de tension la linea lirica y un tacto particular para conferir entidad formal al discurso sonoro. Jordi Llovet, en La Vanguardia, escribia que en esta obra, se encuentra, como en la mayor parte de la produccion de Cervello, algo secretamente religioso, un arcano misterioso, una trascendencia vinculada a los origenes de la comunicacion impracticable con el ser unico que resulta apasionante. En el ano 1990, cuando la Orquesta de Granada la toco en el Grec de Barcelona, era el critico Cesar Calmell quien, en el mismo periodico consideraba que Cervello construyo palmo a palmo, segura e imperturbablemente, un mundo perfecto que refleja la imagen del artesano que, de tan admirado con las delicias de su oficio, no puede hacer otra cosa que convertir en agradable el fondo mismo de la tragedia. Lux et umbra esta grabada por la Orquesta Estatal del Hermitage, dirigida por Alexis Soriano (CD SA01210 Fundacion Autor). --Xavier Casanoves Danes Critico musical.
