Review: PROM 69 – MOZART'S 'REQUIEM', Royal Albert Hall
by Debbie Gilpin - September 10, 2023
Mozart received the commission for this requiem under mysterious circumstances, a “messenger in black” brought the request and then refused to divulge who had sent him. The identity of the person commissioning the work was eventually revealed to be that of Count Franz von Walsegg, as he had recently lost his wife and wanted to commemorate her with a requiem - however, as Mozart didn’t start working on it until October 1791 (three months after the commission was sent), it remained unfinished upon his death in December that year. Several of Mozart’s pupils were charged with completing the composition, though the bulk of this work fell to Franz Xaver Süssmayr.

Review: SALTY BRINE: BIGMOUTH STRIKES AGAIN – THE SMITHS SHOW, Soho Theatre
by Kat Mokrynski - September 10, 2023
The concept of Salty Brine: Bigmouth Strikes Again – The Smiths Show is quite a fascinating one. The show, created and performed by Salty Brine, merges Mary Shelley’s iconic Frankenstein novel, The Smiths’ The Queen is Dead, and some personal stories. How can something like this possibly work? Luckily, Salty Brine knows exactly what he is doing

Review: PROM 68 – MAX RICHTER - RECOMPOSED, Royal Albert Hall
by Debbie Gilpin - September 10, 2023
The Britten Sinfonia is unusual in the world of professional orchestras, in that they don’t have the now-traditional principal conductor as their figurehead, instead choosing to collaborate with leading exponents of the field. For this Prom, violinist Thomas Gould both played and acted as director; this harks back to the early days of orchestral performances, where the first violin tended to be the concertmaster - conductors only began to be more prevalent in the 19th century.
