Extractions: Revival of U. Music Program This article orginally appeared in The Salt Lake Tribune , (November 20, 1994) Robert Debbaut is going from the hill to the hall Monday night. And he is bringing more than 60 top-flight student musicians and a world-class guest soloist with him. Debbaut, director of the two University of Utah symphony orchestras, will conduct his premier ensemble, the Utah Philharmonia, in a 7:30 concert at Abravanel Hall, 123 W. South Temple. The highlight will be a performance of the original Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 2, with British pianist Leslie Howard as soloist. The orchestra also will play Rimsky Korsakov's "Scheherazade" symphonic suite. It is the first time a Utah audience will hear the 45 minute Tchaikovsky Second in its entirety, Debbaut said. In a letter to his brother, the composer "disavowed" an abbreviated version and called it "a mutilation" of the original score, the conductor added. To Note Birthday : And in "Scheherazade," the orchestra will celebrate the 150th birthday of the Russian composer. "When we go downtown, we show the public where their tax dollars are going and the quality they're getting out of their investment in this university," said Debbaut, who took over the U.'s orchestral program in the fall of 1990. And Debbaut likewise lures stellar soloistslike Howard for the Abravanel Hall concerts.

Filmography Late News Trailer Usage Zinfo ... Guest Book Biography James was born on June 9th, and is enjoying his forty-something days. He has 2 sons, Jackson and newborn Hayden, with wife Sophie. James is fond of dogs, and has a golden labrador named Otis (after Mr. Redding) which he adopted soon after his marriage. He studied at the USC School of Music and with Leon Fleischer and Reginald Stewart at Santa Barbara's Music Academy of the West. He developed a strong affinity for the string orchestra. However, despite his love for the classical repertoire, James was inevitably drawn to pop music. In the early 70's a stint with an L.A. based band, "Mama Lion" was followed by 2 solo albums - JNH (1974) and James Newton Howard and friends in 1984. The latter was "commissioned by Yamaha to demo its new synths"

Complete Music for Solo Piano Volume 54 Leslie Howard: Piano Hyperion CDA67406/7 145m DDD. TITANIC OPERATIC LIZST An interesting unpublished version of Meyerbeer's 'Les Huguenots' is even more enticing and contains a better arrangement than the previous versions, something which is espoused in Howard's scholarly notes. Another 'extra' version of Bellini's 'La Sonnambula' appears here and one can only marvel at the height of Lizst's inspiration and capability in making such music sound so utterly pianistic. There is also Russian charm and a sense of joie de vivre in the 'Russlan' transcription. The 'Valse et Caprice' contains elements of Lizst's better style, all fused into such a charming whole that I was almost singing the tunes after a few repeated listens. Howard's marvelous playing adds to the excitement and virility of the piece. This brings us to the inimitable arrangement of Wagner's 'Tannhauser' Overture. It is quite amazing to realize how such a vividly orchestral work can sound so incredibly beautiful in a pianistic guise. Howard's slow tempo adds to to the grandeur and nobility of the piece, thus creating an unforgettable sensation in the middle of the Pilgrim's Chorus theme and the headlong rush into the final chords. After such fireworks, the somewhat overlong and occasionally boorish melodies of 'I Puritani' may seem to sound cheap by comparison but repeated listening will make one appreciate this titanic music much more. At times it seems that these arrangements rather grow on you!
Extractions: SLS 5249 was a well-loved double LP set called The Music of Percy Grainger and it featured two of the orchestras on this new ABC disc as well as one of the conductors and the pianist. So its a welcome back to the Symphony Orchestras of Sydney and Adelaide, John Hopkins and to Leslie Howard in this infectious and captivating disc of Grainger favourites. Surprisingly there are not as many Grainger discs in the catalogue as there might be or should be and this one is entirely sympathetic to Graingers demands.
Koncert I Den Sorte Diamant Schumann og Liszt Den australske pianist leslie howard er kendt i hele den klassiskemusikverden for at have indspillet samtlige soloklaverværker af Liszt. http://www.kb.dk/kultur/diamant/arrangementer/koncerter/DRklaverfestival2001.htm
Extractions: Den skandinaviske musikverden fik for alvor øre for Stefan Stroissnigs store talent, ikke mindst som Liszt-fortolker, da han vandt Greta Eriksson-konkurrencen i Sverige sidste år. Stefan Stroissnig er også komponist, men opmærksomheden ved hans koncert samles nok mest om ét værk, nemlig Liszts store sonate i h-mol, der er frygtet - og elsket - af pianister. Amalie Malling er nok inderst inde en romantisk klaverkunstner, men hun har aldrig været bange for udfordringer. Den ungarske accent ved koncerten den 25. september, sætter hun med en spændende sammenstilling af Liszt og den nulevende komponist György Kurtág. Netop denne kombination kalder ikke på den højtråbende Liszt; de værker Amalie Malling har valgt går mere i retning af det eksperimenterende og reflekterende.

Extractions: On the particular piece 'Improvisations on la Folia' is said at the same page: We have no surviving 16th-century choreography for the Folia melody, which was widely known and popular for almost three centuries. Dancers may improvise, as musicians love to do, to the haunting little strain or simply to its bass. You do not have to be a musicologist or a great analyser of 16th Century dances to recognize instantly in 'improvisations on la Folia' the later Folia-theme which was introduced (ok, i make an exception for Falconieri ) by Lully in 1672. The subtitle 'flowers of the 16th Century Italian Dance Music' is absolutely incorrect. I wonder what kind of dance is picked for this Baroque music pur sang and clearly intended for a listening audience the delicate way it is played. However the Folia theme (a nice blending of the Gallot and Ruiz de Ribayaz ) sounds great on the Chitaronne.
Turner Classic Movies Intermezzo tells of a bittersweet love affair between a young pianist (Bergman) anda famous concert violinist (leslie howard) who is married with two children http://www.turnerclassicmovies.com/ThisMonth/Article/0,,537,00.html
Extractions: During the period in which he was producing and releasing his signature movie, Gone With the Wind (1939), David O. Selznick made another important contribution to American films by introducing Ingrid Bergman in her first English-speaking movie, Intermezzo (1939). Selznick assistant Kay Brown had seen an earlier Swedish version of the film, also starring Bergman, and the producer dispatched her to Stockholm to secure the rights for an American remake. After Brown returned to New York with the screenplay rights, Selznick had an afterthought and sent her once again to Sweden, this time with instructions to sign the leading lady to a contract. According to Selznick biographer Bob Thomas, Bergman had turned down other Hollywood offers from fast-talking Hollywood types but was impressed by Brown's personality, telling her, "You're so sweet and human that anyone you work for couldn't be nearly as crazy as I expected." She eventually signed with Selznick, although stipulating that she would commit to only one film before deciding whether she wanted to stay in Hollywood.

Howard Als Ideale Verdediger Van Liszt De Engelse pianist leslie howard is voor het label Hyperion sinds enkelejaren bezig met het op CD zetten van alle pianomuziek van Franz Liszt. http://www.nopapers.nl/km/muz2/1/muze0106.html
Extractions: De Engelse pianist Leslie Howard is voor het label Hyperion sinds enkele jaren bezig met het op CD zetten van alle pianomuziek van Franz Liszt. Deze gigantische onderneming kan tot nu toe zeker geslaagd worden genoemd. Howard is een uitstekend musicus en verder is hij uit het juiste hout gesneden om een project als dit tot in de puntjes te verzorgen. De begeleidende teksten bij de CD's zijn van hemzelf en bewijzen dat hij zijn wetenschappelijke instelling op ideale wijze koppelt aan zijn liefde voor Liszt. Inmiddels is Howard toe aan de zestiende (!) aflevering. Het gaat ditmaal om een transcriptie van de "Bunte Reihe", een werk voor viool en piano van de componist Ferdinand David (1810-1873). David is de man die Mendelssohn nog geassisteerd heeft bij de realisatie van diens beroemde vioolconcert waarvan hij ook de eerste uitvoering gaf. Verder is hij alleen nog bekend als de maker van studiemateriaal voor de violist. Howard speelt deze muziek met grote charme en toewijding. De technische obstakels neemt hij zonder moeite, ook waar in gerepeteerde noten (voor viool is deze techniek makkelijker dan voor piano) de viool oorspronkelijk de boventoon voerde. Bijzonder fraai is ook de verwezenlijking van het meerstemmige spel, dat Liszt in de bewerking heeft weten te handhaven. Zonder dat nù al gesteld mag worden dat hier sprake is van een ideale uitvoering, is Howard een uitermate geschikte pleitbezorger van deze muziek. Misschien kan het soms nóg subtieler of expressiever, maar het is in ieder geval zeer plezierig luisteren naar zijn bezielde spel. Howard verdient niets dan lof voor zijn grondige inspanningen ten bate van deze te weinig bekende muziek.
