THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE SOLDIER’S NOT QUITE FAUSTIAN TALE
Overcome with greed, wealth-craving Faustian protagonists stake their souls with the Devil to achieve their dreams. Yet the Soldier whose tale is told through Stravinsky’s L’Histoire du Soldat was content with what he had—a few trinkets and a violin. Until he met the Devil, all he wanted was to be reunited with his mother and his fiancé during a break from the action. Over the course of an hour infused with intriguing dialog and evocative music that portrays pain, love, regret and dark magic, we experience a battle of wits with a Devil who craves the Soldier’s violin (representing his soul) and will stop at nothing to get it.

I am thrilled to be performing this great work on the occasion of its 100th Anniversary with the fine musicians of Amici della Musica New York on Sunday, September 16th at 4PM at Christ & St. Stephen’s Church, 122 W. 69th Street.

GRAMOPHONE CD REVIEW: Tchaikovsky Pathétique: Park Avenue Chamber Symphony conducted by David Bernard

“David Bernard and the Park Avenue Chamber Symphony deliver an impressively elegant, thoughtful, well‑balanced and sophisticated Tchaikovsky Pathétique…carefully sculpted phrasing in the finale’s thematic statements, their pointed articulation throughout the second movement and the X‑ray clarity of the low strings underneath the bassoon solo in the first movement’s opening Adagio…The […]
