With a step in its Spring

Article Abstract:

The Prague Spring Festival faces competition from musical and theatrical events but is adequately sponsored and has a good level of foreign involvement. Traditional and new works are performed, including premieres of Jan Hanus's Fantasia-Concerto for cello and David Matthews's 'The Sleeping Lord.' Sir Charles Mackerras and returning exiles, Jiri Kyllian and David Radok, bring fresh ideas to production. These changes represent the changing Prague, where philanthropists are establishing musical institutes.

Road rage and all that jazz

Article Abstract:

The International Society for Contemporary Music included a wide range of music in its New Music '98 festival. There was a retrospective of major works performed at previous festivals, including Ravel's 'Piano Concerto for the Left Hand' and Peter Maxwell Davies' 'Worldes Blis.' Recent and brand-new music served as a celebration of the 'Manchester school' of composers who studied in Manchester, England, where the festival was held, in the 1950s.
