The Phantom
of the Opera is,
without doubt, one of the
great classics of our
time. The stage
production of this tale,
exciting and mysterious
in equal measure, has now
captivated over a million
theatre-goers. The
phantom sings the song
The Music of the
Night to the
beautiful Christine, who
he has just kidnapped
into his realm, as if
entrancing her. This
enchanting mood is so
authentically recreated
in Nico Dezaire’s
sensitive arrangement for
string quartet that it
feels like listening to
the singer perform the
original version from the
musical.
De

twijfel een van de grote
klassiekers van onze
tijd. De theaterversie
van dit spannende en
tegelijk mysterieuze
verhaal heeft in de loop
der tijd al een
miljoenenpubliek
getrokken. Met het lied
The Music of the
Night brengt het
spook de mooie Christine,
die hij zojuist naar zijn
rijk heeft ontvoerd, als
het ware in trance. De
betoverende sfeer wordt
in dit gevoelige
strijkkwartetarrangement
van de hand van Nico
Dezaire zo authentiek
overgebracht, dat het
voelt alsof je luistert
naar de zanger in de
originele versie uit de
musical.

dem Lied The Music of
the Night singt das
Phantom die schöne
Christine, die er soeben
in sein Reich entführt
hat, gleichsam in Trance.
Eben diese Stimmung
lässt Nico Dezaire in
seiner einfühlsamen
Bearbeitung für
Streichquartett so
glaubwürdig wieder
aufleben, dass es sich so
anfühlt, als höre
man dem Sänger der
originalen
Musical-Fassung
zu.

String
Quartet No. 5 consists of
two contrasting
movements. The first
movement, being present,
immediately leads to an
atmosphere of high
emotional tension. The
prevailing atmospheric
elements of the music are
dramatic and passionate,
alternating with each
other like a
kaleidoscope. In contrast
to that, a second theme
is intoned three times -
an invitation, a memory
of the existence of
another world, a
light-house which
illuminates the twilight
in which we live so
often. But this
invitation remains
unheard. The first
movement concludes with
dissonances in the upper
register - a cry of utter
desperation.The second
movement, so distant ...
yet so near, is the calm,
unhurried vocal section
of the quartet. A
forgiving, loving look at
a world tortured by grief
and contradictions.
Gradually, the singing
becomes more personal,
more emotional and more
dramatic. The rhythmic
figure of a funeral march
in the recapitulation of
the second movement is a
gesture of loss.
Eventually, the quartet
loses itself in an
atmosphere of
light-filled grief.

String
Quartet No.3 was written
for, and first performed
by the Balanescu Quartet,
February 1990 at the
Queen Elizabeth Hall,
London. Duration 16
minutes. Instrumental
parts are available on
sale. Quoting composer:
In the summer of 1989 I
composed a choral work,
Out of the Ruins, for
Agnieszka Piotrowska's
BBC2 documentary which
dealt with the physical
and emotional responses
of some inhabitants of
Leninakhan to the
earthquake which
devastated Armenia the
previous December. When
he heard the recording of
the work that I made with
the Holy Echmiadzin
Chorus under the fervent
conducting of Khoren
Meykhanejian, Alex
Balanescu suggested
turning Out of the Ruins
into a string quartet.
There seemed no reason or
opportunity to do this
until I felt the need to
add to the intensity of
my experiences in Armenia
the no less profound
experience of witnessing
the images of the
Romanian revolution on
television during the
later part of December
1989. The compositional
procedure was as follows:
to take Out of the Ruins
as a template on which
the Romanian vocal or
instrumental music would
be superimposed, quite
often stretched into new
intervallic shapes though
the demands of the
completely performed
harmonic structure.

In these
lieder, Robert Schumann
seems to mirror his life
full of crises. The
composition coincides
with the first
signs of his illness. The
picture of the drowning
Ophelia evoked in the
first chant
conjures up the image of
his suicide attempt three
years later. Aribert
Reimann's transcription
seems to be opposed to
Schumann's endeavours to
make stronger use of 'the
development of the
accompanying instrument,
the piano'. On the other
hand, the complete
integration of the vocal
part in the musical
setting of the string
quartet confirms
Schumann's assessment
that the singing voice
alone cannot 'express
everything; apart from
the expression of the
whole, even subtle
nuances of the poem shall
become apparent'. These
transcriptions show
Reimann's sense of timbre
and his many years of
experience as a lied
accompanist.

The
Composer writes: 'In
February 1987 I saw in
the Tate Gallery in
London a painting by the
Victorian English painter
John William Waterhouse.
The painting kept
haunting my memory, and
as I at the same time
planned to write a piece
for solo Viola, my ideas
for the music and the
memory of the painting
fused more and more. I
decided, then, to let my
piece borrow the title of
Waterhouse's painting:
The Lady Of Shalott. The
picture of a mad-like,
pale, and perhaps singing
woman alone in a boat
without sculls, which
calmly slips out from the
rush growth of the river
is an illustration for
the ending of Alfred
Tennyson's poem by the
same title, which again
plaits into the old
English legends about
King Arthur. My piece
tries to meander - like
the river at Camelot -
among these sources.' As
suggested above the piece
was originally written
for Viola solo. This
version for String
Quartet is from 1993.

The Full
Score for Peter Maxwell
Davies' fourth in a
series of ten string
quartets commissioned by
the Naxos Recording
company, first performed
by the Maggini Quartet on
20th August 2004 at the
Chapel of the Royal
Palace, Oslo, Norway, as
part of the Olso Chamber
Music Festival. Composer
Note: The fourth Naxos
quartet was written in
January and February of
2004, with the intention
of producing something
lighter and much less
fierce than its
predecessor, an
unpremeditated and
spontaneous reaction to
the illegal invasion of
Iraq. I returned to the
well-known Brueghel
picture of children's
games (1560, now in
Vienna), which had been
the inspiration for my
sixth Strathclyde
Concerto, for flute and
orchestra. These
illustrations liberated
my musical imagination,
but I feel it would limit
the listener's perception
to be too specific about
which game relates to
exactly which section of
the work. Suffice it to
say that there is
vigorous play -
leap-frog, bind the devil
with a cord, truss,
wrestling - alongside
quieter pastimes - masks,
guess whom I shall
choose, courting, odds
and evens. The single
movement juxtaposes these
activities as abruptly
and intimately as they
occur in Brueghel. Rather
as the eye is taken into
different perspectives
and proportions of scale
within the picture,
taking liberties which
would never be present
in, for instance,
Brunelleschi
architectural drawings,
so here, with a constant
sequence of
transformation processes,
I have distorted the
neat, precise
implications of modal
progression, expressed in
the unison opening phrase
(from F to B through A
sharp/B flat), so that
the ear is led, en route,
into the sound
equivalents of strange
passageways and closed
rooms: sicut exposition
ludus. As work on the
quartet progressed I
became aware that I was
reading into, and behind
the games, adult motives
and implications,
concerning aggression and
war, with their
consequences. It was
impossible to escape into
innocent childhood
fantasy. The nature of
the F to B progression
underlying the whole
construction derives from
a passage in the
development of the first
movement of Mahler's
Third Symphony, and the
opening of Schoenberg's
Second String Quartet.
However, unlike in these
models, here a real - if
temporary - sense of
resolution occurs at the
close of the quartet: as
when the curtain falls on
the reconciled Count and
Countess in 'Figaro' one
wonders how long the F/B
truce will hold, and
games break out again.
The quartet is dedicated
to Giuseppe Rebecchini,
Roman architect, and
friend since the
nineteen-fifties.
