Paul Bentley: A Handmaid's Diary

Paul Bentley: A Handmaid's Diary

This fabulous book tells the story of how Margaret Atwood's novel, The Handmaid's Tale, was adapted for, and became an Opera. Paul Bentley, who also wrote the opera's Libretto, has written a wonderful, absorbing and insightful book. From the first phone call to the premiere party, and all the creative processes in between, Bentley explores the procedures and methods of setting a novel to Operatic music, as well as anecdotal references and examples. It is not limited merely to Opera buffs, but is delightfully witty and easy-going so suitable for any theatre or music lover.

Bent Sørensen: Shadows Of Silence (Piano)

Bent Sørensen: Shadows Of Silence (Piano)

Bent Sørensen THE SHADOWS OF SILENCE For pianoProgramme NoteThe Shadows of Silence (2003-2004)Quite some time ago I heard - through a conversation in a mobile phone - a wonderful concert of ringing church bells from an European capital. I found it very hard to concentrate about the conversation, because I was so engrossed by the chaotic world of bell sound. The night after, I dreamt that the sound of those low singing bells was rising up from a piano in a huge empty concert hall. That experience became the starting point for my piano piece, "The Shadows of Silence". But before the piece gets to the ringing bells it moves through a landscape of shadows - Shadows of the silence before the bells - Silence before the storm - Shadows of melodies which all the time leaves traces even in the short passages of storm. After the passage with the low ringing bells the shadows of silence returns melted in to a lament, which are sending two regards. One to two small beautiful - not very well known - bars by Mozart, and one to the sextet in my own opera, "Under the Sky"."The Shadows of Silence" was commissioned by The Carnegie Hall Corporation and is dedicated to Leif Ove Andsnes
