Brandenburg Concerto No. 2 (Bach) - III. Allegro assai Thumbs list

Andrew BishopJunior Trumpet RecitalWiedemann Recital HallWichita State UniversityFebruary 22, 1996At the end of the spring semester before the year I gave this Junior Recital at WSU, my trumpet instructor Bob Grim told me that he thought I should start working on and conditioning for Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 2 and perform it the next school year. I was excited that he believed I had the ability to perform the famous (infamous!) masterwork, and eagerly began working on it. I had originally thought of asking the top violinist, oboist, and flautist at WSU at the beginning of the year if they would consider doing it as a audition for the WSU Concerto/Aria contest later that spring. But before I did that, I thought I'd ask Dr. Jay Decker, director of the orchestral program if that unusual audition piece would be allowed. So the first week of school I made an appointment and presented my idea to him. To my astonishment, he informed me that he had already programmed the piece on a future concert that year! I was very excited, especially after the GTA of the trumpet studio wanted no part of playing it. The unfortunate thing about performing Brandenburg 2 on the orchestra concert, was that Dr. Decker insisted on having the whole WSU string section play on the piece, because the Bach was one of only two pieces on the concert (the other, incredibly, was Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring!") Both WSU Conducting GTA Anthony Arnone (who was conducting the piece) and I lobbied voraciously for a much more appropriate and authentic performance using a small baroque orchestra instead, but to no avail. It was a fine first Brandenburg performance of my career, but as you can imagine, not an ideal balance between soli and tutti. HOWEVER, to remedy the situation somewhat, I decided to program my Junior Trumpet Recital just two days after the orchestra concert, and by doing so, have executive decision on the instrumentation numbers for the Bach. Little did I know that absolute disaster was awaiting me when I arrived at school the morning of my recital. As I walked into the music office, someone asked me if I was going to go ahead with my recital that afternoon. Having absolutely no reason why I wouldn't, I said of course, to which the reply came, "who is going to play oboe on the Brandenburg?" At that moment I knew something horrendous had happened, and sure enough, Oboe GTA Andrea Banke (who, BTW, is now the oboe professor at WSU) had smashed her hand in a car door the night before and broken her finger(s). Mercifully, my utter panic subsided quickly after learning that she had already contacted top undergraduate oboist David Jordan to play the part on my recital. David basically sight read the part without any rehearsing, and truly saved the day with a remarkably fine job under those circumstances.Program:Let the Bright Seraphim (G.F.

Let the Bright Seraphim (G.F. Handel) Thumbs list

Andrew BishopJunior Trumpet RecitalWiedemann Recital HallWichita State UniversityFebruary 22, 1996While at WSU I was very lucky to befriend Soprano GTA Marla Fogderud while singing in the Concert Chorale. We stood next to each other, though the chasm that represented her vocal talent next to my own was (and still is) nothing short of infinite. But, where my vocal talent lacked, my abilities on the trumpet must have been the reason for her reciprocating the musical respect I had/have for her. We became fast friends, and after this first collaboration, have performed together many times since. Program:Let the Bright Seraphim (G.F.

JUSTINO DIAZ IS SCARPIA; PUCCINI'S TOSCA ACT 2, PT 5 (1999) Thumbs list

JUSTINO DIAZ IS SCARPIA; PUCCINI'S TOSCA ACT 2, PT 5 (1999)JUSTINO DIAZ IS THE PERFECT SCARPIA, NOT ONLY VOCALLY AND IN HIS ACTING, BUT HIS ARTISTIC ACHIEVMENT IS SO OUTSTANDING, THAT YOU END UP BELIEVING HE "IS" SCARPIA! I UPLOADED THE "TE DEUM" FROM ACT 1 AND THE COMPLETE ACT 2 OF THIS PERFORMANCE IN 5CLIPS. I ALSO UPLOADED THE SAME SCENES FROM A 1983 PERFORMANCE SO YOU CAN COMPARE!JUSTINO DIAZ came to international prominence at the age of 23 when he made his debut at Carnegie Hall opposite Dame Joan Sutherland in a concert performance of I Puritani. A few months later he made his Metropolitan Opera debut and became the youngest bass ever to sing there. That same year he also made impressive debuts with the London Symphony Orchestra, chosen by Lorin Maazel, Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic, and the Cleveland Orchestra under George Szell. Three years later, at the age of 26, he inaugurated the new Met in Lincoln Center opposite Leontyne Price in the world premiere of Samuel Barber's opera Antony and Cleopatra. By the time he was 35 he had sung in all the world's great musical centers.Although he has sung all over the world perhaps his natural operatic home has been the Metropolitan Opera where he has sung 398 performances of 39 roles in 23 seasons including eight new productions and six opening nights. Some of the many other roles he has sung there include Don Giovanni, Figaro, Macbeth, Iago, Scarpia, Mephistopheles, Escamillo, Padre Guardiano in La Forza del Destino, Alvise in La Gioconda, Basilio in The Barber of Seville, Maometto II in The Siege of Corinth, Prince Gremin in Eugene Onegin, Count Rodolfo in La Sonnambula, as well as Raimondo, Ramphis, Colline, Sparafucile and the Grand Inquisitor. With the New York City Opera, he performed the title roles of Mephistopheles, Attila, Julius Caesar, Don Giovanni (and Leporello). He created the role of Francesco Cenci in the world premiere of Beatrix Cenei by Alberto Ginastera, the first opera presented at the new Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. Ginastera also wrote for Justino Díaz a piece for Baritone, Percussion and Cello with a textby Pablo Neruda, which was premiered by the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center.He has sung such diverse operatic roles as Don Giovanni, Figaro, Iago, Scarpia, Macbeth, Rigoletto, Count di Luna, Germont, Gerard, Michele, Jack Rance, Boccanegra, Escamillo, Mephistopheles, Alvise, Phillip II, Attila, four villains in the Tales of Hoffmann and Cristoforo Colombo, under conductors that include Levine, Kleiber, von Karajan, Bernstein, Karl Böhm, and the legendary Pablo Casals. The list of stage directors he has worked with is no less impressive as it includes such names as Franco Zeffirelli, Gunther Renert, Goetz Friederich, Gian Carlo Menotti, Sarah Caldwell, Ponnelle, Mansouri, Eduardo de Filippo, Tito Capobianco, Ian Judge, Piero Faggione, Nuria Espert, Jonathan Miller, and Pilar Miró.His many recordings of Operas and Oratorios include Messiah, Otello, Semele, Lucia di Lammermoor, La Wally, L'Assedio di Corinto, La Pietra del Paragone, The Tales of Hoffmann, Rossini's Stabat Mater for the labels Deutsche Grammophon, RCA Sony, EMI, London, Vanguard and ASV. Among his numerous videos is the famous Zeffirelli movie of Otello which features him as Iago opposite Placido Domingo's Moor as well as various telecasts from different opera houses including the Metropolitan, San Francisco and most recently he sang the title role in El Gato Montes for Los Angeles which was seen nationwide on PBS.Justino Díaz was born in Puerto Rico where he sings regulary. He studied at the University of Puerto Rico with further studies in opera, music and voice at the New England Conservatory in Boston from which he received and Honorary Doctorate Degree in Music. He is the recipient of the Handel Medallion, New York City's highest cultural award, as well as several Honorary Doctorate degrees -- including the New England Conservatory and the Universities of Puerto Rico and El Turabo. At the Conservatory of music he is visiting professor of voice to advanced students. [ More Detail ]
