Thomas Kelly Debut Releases - Liszt, Chopin and Schumann on Ulysses Arts

31/7/2020

0 Comments

Ulysses Arts is delighted to release pianist Thomas Kelly's debut recordings, starting with Liszt, Rhapsodie espagnole, on 21 August 2020. Chopin Nocturne in D-flat Op. 27 No. 2 follows on 4 September, and Schumann's Toccata Op. 7 on 25 September.

James Ross, director of Ulysses Arts, comments:

'It is a great pleasure to be launching Thomas Kelly's debut recording with Ulysses Arts on Friday 21 August, of Liszt's Rhapsodie espagnole. I first met Thomas when judging the The Purcell School's Senior Concerto Competition a few years back. He played Brahms' Second Piano Concerto. Beforehand I was sceptical about the likelihood of a 17-year old pianist being ready musically to interpret this work, however technically impressive or promising they were. I was wrong: Thomas' performance was utterly convincing and he won the first prize amongst a field of excellent finalists crowded with talent.

Since then I have had the pleasure of performing Rachmaninov PIano Concerto No. 1 with Thomas, and of hearing him continue to develop as a musician - it is therefore hugely exciting now to be releasing his work.'

Thomas is currently studying at the Royal College of Music in London with Andrew Ball. His three single releases will be followed by a full album in autumn 2020, including music by Sibelius, Prokofiev, Reubke and Tippett.

BBC's Ten Pieces Extended into UK Secondary Schools

20/5/2015

0 Comments

Works by Verdi, Wagner and Bach to be played in UK secondary schools.

The BBC today announced it is extending its successful 'Ten Pieces' music programme into UK secondary schools. The original project aimed to expose more primary schools students to classical music, and after a successful pilot engaging over half of UK primary schools, it is rolling out the programme into UK secondaries.

Here's (almost all of) the playlist on Spotify. One exception is Gabriel Prokofiev's Concerto for Turntables and Orchestra which isn't on the streaming service but can be found here at https://nonclassical.bandcamp.com/album/gabriel-prokofiev-concerto-for-turntables-and-orchestra.

Watch out for our curated list of recommended recordings of all the secondary school 'Ten Pieces' on YouTube to follow.

Spotify Rival TIDAL Re-Launches Under Jay-Z's Ownership

2/4/2015

0 Comments

Article originally published at kenyonarts.com

TIDAL, the new subscription streaming service owned by Jay-Z, Chris Martin, Daft Punk, Kayne West, Arcade Fire, Alicia Keys and more, launched Monday night from New York.

What did we learn? Very little. The service, which has been operating for over a year, offers CD quality streaming and HD video and is owned by famous people.

Touted by its star-studded shareholders as a “new movement in music”, the launch of TIDAL offered no insights into….anything about the service.

So, let’s look at what we got from last night’s unveiling (what we already knew):

- There will be no free tier.
TIDAL want you to pay for your music, to value it and so compensate the rights holders for it. To a business like TIDAL, advertising revenues bring in 10% of what subscriptions do (according to Spotify’s numbers) so eliminating the free tier is a more robust model. The problem being of course that Spotify’s number one marketing tool is its free tier, so how will TIDAL get its users? Which brings us onto:

- High resolution audio and video.
Ignoring the endless debates over the discernible improvement in fidelity of high resolution audio, especially when the majority of listeners are doing so on garbage white headphones, TIDAL will offer CD quality streams and offline playback.

- Artist owned.
This is where TIDAL differs from Spotify. Whereas the latter is owned, in part, by the major labels, TIDAL will be owned by the host of artists mentioned above. Although many of the super-wealthy included in this venture own labels themselves. So maybe it’s no different after all.

What will set TIDAL apart with the big name backers is exclusive content – this is where it can drag users from other services and keep them. New content from big names and curated playlists can be to TIDAL what collaborative playlists are to Spotify.
--
TIDAL isn’t new, just its owners are. We will have to wait and see if the good intentions of its creative shareholders will affect, in any way, the struggling artists and indies who feel currently underserved by the streaming market.
