Sir Andrew Davis

One of Britain’s greatest conductors widely admired for leading the BBC Symphony Orchestra at the Proms

One of the most beloved and highly esteemed conductors of his generation, Sir Andrew Davis, who has died aged 80 of leukaemia, was a familiar presence on the podium, not least through his countless appearances at the BBC Proms in his capacity as chief conductor of the BBC Symphony Orchestra (1989-2000).

After Adrian Boult, his was the second longest tenure of the post in the history of the orchestra. During the same period he was also music director of Glyndebourne Opera (1988–2000), conducting works by Mozart, Janáček and Richard Strauss, among many others.

The sheer range of his repertoire was in fact one of the defining features of Davis’s career. Not only was he acclaimed as an empathetic interpreter of British music from Elgar and Vaughan Williams to Holst and Bliss, but he also had the ability to assimilate contemporary scores such as Michael Tippett’s The Mask of Time, Harrison Birtwistle’s The Mask of Orpheus, Nicholas Sackman’s Hawthorn or David Sawer’s Byrnan Wood, all of which were either introduced at the Proms or recorded. The Birtwistle was named record of the year at the Gramophone awards in 1987.

But as he showed season after season in the BBC post, Davis could bring both vitality and a discerning sense of idiom to almost any music. One recalls, almost at random, a 2015 concert featuring a sensuous account of Delius’s In a Summer Garden, followed by a lithe and muscular suite from Ravel’s erotic Daphnis et Chloé, the ecstatic choral shouts and shuddering climaxes leaving little to the imagination. The concert also included music by Carl Nielsen and a new work, Epithalamion, by Hugh Wood.

One of many highlights of his Proms appearances was his commanding premiere in 1998 of Elgar’s Third Symphony in the “elaboration” by Anthony Payne (effectively a performing version made from the composer’s sketches).

Another was his speech from the podium in 1992, delivered as a patter song to the tune of Gilbert and Sullivan’s “I am the very model of a modern major-general”, complete with witty rhymes and repartee with the delighted audience. The trick was repeated on the final night of the 2000 festival, his last as the orchestra’s chief conductor. On his arrival at the BBC Symphony Orchestra, the more truculent members of the ensemble had to be won over, but they were, by his genial humour and charm, as well as his purely musical talents.

He was also popular with soloists, not necessarily offering a radically new perspective of his own, but listening carefully to them to provide an ideal accompaniment. The pianist Stephen Hough said he had “the sharpest ear and the clearest stick”. Both on and off the podium Davis exuded bonhomie and affability. His concern as a conductor was always to create the conditions that enabled musicians to give of their best.

Born in Ashridge, Hertfordshire, he was the son of Robert Davis, a compositor, and his wife, Joyce (nee Badminton). Andrew began to learn the piano at the age of five and attended Watford grammar school. In 1959 he started organ studies with Peter Hurford and subsequently won an organ scholarship to King’s College, Cambridge, where he played under David Willcocks. He then studied conducting at the Accademia di S Cecilia, Rome, under Franco Ferrara, and in London with George Hurst. From 1966 to 1970 he was pianist, harpsichordist and organist with the Academy of St Martin in the Fields.

In 1970 he made his debut with the BBC Symphony Orchestra and in the same year was appointed assistant conductor of the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra. He then became principal guest conductor of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra (1974–77) and music director of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra (1975–88), whose stature he boosted with major tours of North America, Europe and Asia. In 1982, he helped establish the orchestra’s new home at Roy Thomson Hall, and advised on the construction of its organ.

Then came the posts at the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Glyndebourne. His debut at the latter had been in Strauss’s Capriccio (1973) and he was to become a noted exponent of the composer’s operas.

In 1989 he married the soprano Gianna Rolandi, whom he had met when she sang Zerbinetta under his baton first at the Metropolitan, New York, in 1984 and again at Glyndebourne in 1988.

On his retirement from the BBC in 2000 he moved to the US with Rolandi and their son, Edward, to take up the appointment of music director, until 2021, of the Lyric Opera of Chicago, where he conducted nearly 700 opera performances including Wagner’s Ring cycle (2004–05). A second cycle was planned for the 2019–20 season, but was never completed on account of the Covid pandemic. He additionally conducted orchestral concerts at the Lyric and free concerts at Millennium Park.

From 2012 to 2019, he also held the post of chief conductor of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, becoming conductor laureate, while continuing to live in the US.

In addition to his conducting, he made an orchestration of Handel’s Messiah, performing it with the Toronto orchestra, and of Berg’s Piano Sonata, op 1, and Passacaglia (Berg was a composer who inspired him, he once said, throughout his life). His own compositions included La Serenissima: Inventions on a Theme by Claudio Monteverdi (1980), Chansons Innocentes for children’s chorus and orchestra (1984) and Alice (2003) – settings of Lewis Carroll for mezzo-soprano, tenor and children’s chorus. At his death he was working on orchestrating some of JS Bach’s organ music.

During the pandemic lockdown he drew on his knowledge of the classics, gained as a student, to undertake an original translation of Virgil’s Aeneid. Though modest about his poetic abilities, he did comment that the experience was comparable to that of making music: “The manipulation of sonorities and rhythms and the search for ways of bringing to life the vividness of Virgil’s imagery and at times his great emotional power struck me as remarkably similar to the search that I have been engaged in all my life on the podium.”

His numerous recordings reflect the vast range of his repertoire, British and contemporary music looming large alongside Stravinsky, Strauss, Berlioz, Ives, Sibelius, Weill and the complete Dvořák symphonies. A 16-CD retrospective collection celebrating British composers on Teldec’s The British Line series was released by Warner Classics.

In 1991, he received the Royal Philharmonic Society/Charles Heidsieck music award. He was appointed CBE in 1992 and knighted in 1999.

Rolandi died in 2021. Davis is survived by Edward, a composer, singer and conductor.

Libri che vanno letti 31

Lo ricordo come fosse l’altro ieri. Il professore con cui poi mi sono laureato aveva invitato un poeta. Si chiamava Franco Ferrara. Indossava un cappello in stile Indiana Jones. E aveva portato con sé alcune copie delle sue opere. Io ero riuscito ad accaparrarmene addirittura tre. Fra cui quella che sto per segnalarvi: Imzad. Il libro è bellissimo. Sia come oggetto (era una cosa particolare: confezionato con carta grigia riciclata stampata solo sul lato destro), sia come opera letteraria. Era un poeta vero. Mica uno di quelli che si ritengono tali solo perché riescono a mettere una serie di frasi una sopra l’altra. Non so cosa sia stato di lui. Ma conservo ancora gelosamente i suoi tre libri.

Genres:Illuminated manuscripts--Italy--Milan--15th century. Cardboard. Cuir bouilli--France--14th century. Emblems (symbols)--Italy--Milan--15th century. Devices (symbols)--Italy--Milan--15th century. Playing cards--Italy--Milan--15th century. Language:Latin captions on card 9; French inscription on cards 28, 29, and 34: A BON DROYT. Notes:Tarot cards; 33 illuminated in Milan, Italy, ca. 1450, and 3 replacement cards (M.630.5 - Temperance; M.630.8 - Fortitude; and M.630.13 - The Sun) illuminated ca. 1480. Decoration: 8 court cards and 15 trump cards with figural representations, 12 decorated pip (numerical) cards.

Tarot Card: Wheel of Fortune -- Woman (personification of fortune), winged, blindfolded, is at center of wheel, at top of which is man, with ass's ears, seated, with scepter in right hand. Below, flanking the wheel are two male figures, one upright, also with ass's ears, and the other upside down, with tail. Below the wheel is bearded man on hands and knees. Scrolls accompany each figure. Man at top of wheel has scroll with inscription REGNO; man at left has scroll inscribed REGNABO; man at right has scroll with inscription REGNAVI; and man at bottom has scroll inscribed SUM SINE REGNO.

Artist: The original cards have been attributed to Francesco Zavattari, while more agree with the attribution to Bonifacio Bembo. The replacement cards have traditionally been attributed to the Cremonese artist Antonio Cicognara, an attribution questioned by Dummett (1980), who suggests instead an artist from Ferrara or (Dummett 2007) Benedetto Bembo (brother of Bonifacio) and proposes that they were not replacements but part of the original set as designed by the Bembo workshop. Bauer-Eberhardt (1997) advances Franco dei Russi (or de' Russi) as the artist of these later cards, attribution accepted by the exhibition catalogue Tarots enluminés (2021).

A complete pack of tarot cards consists of seventy-eight cards; the thirty-five cards in the Pierpont Morgan Library, twenty-six in the Accademia Carrara in Bergamo, and thirteen owned by the Colleoni family of Bergamo form one of the most complete sets of 15th cent. painted tarot cards of Italian origin.

Executed by or for a member of the Visconti-Sforza family (emblems and devices of both families found intermingled on the cards, i.e., the Sforza three interlinked diamond rings, the Visconti ducal crown of Milan with palm and laurel), probably Francesco Sforza (d. 1466), most likely after his triumphal entry as Duke of Milan 25 March 1450; the patrician family Bon from Venice?, as suggested by heraldic elements in certain cards (parti de gueles et d'argent) and a haloed lion holding a book on the shield of the King of Swords (M.630.22); Count Alessandro Colleoni of Bergamo (d. 1900); purchased by J. Pierpont Morgan (1837-1913) through Hamburger Frères, Paris, in 1911; by descent to J.P. Morgan (1867-1943).

Il Messina strappa un pareggio al Potenza - VIDEO

Partita poco spettacolo, ma il Messina attento e preciso, soprattutto in difesa, alla fine a strappato un pareggio nel difficile campo di Potenza. Modica schiera il suo 4-3-3 con Fumagalli in porta, Salvo e Ortisi terzini e manetta e Pacciardi centrali; centrocampo con Firenze, Franco e Frisenna; in attacco Emmausso, Plescia e Ragusa. Dopo appena 30 secondi il Potenza si rende pericoloso con un tiro da fuori di Saporiti ben parato da Fumagalli. All’8’ Volpe si rende pericolo in area del Messina, ma ancora una volta Fumagalli ferma il pallone. Nel secondo tempo il Potenza è ancora più intraprendente al 64’ Steffè crossa in rea Candellori colpisce di tacco, ma Salvo respinge quasi dalla linea di porta. Al 75’ Pace in area mette fuori il pallone. Al 79’ Candellori raccoglie in area un cross, ma la difesa del Messina mette in angolo. All’85’ un tiro non troppo forte di Rossetti dal limite viene prato da Fumagalli. Il Messina non si è mai reso pericoloso, ma durante tutto il match ha controllato l’avversario. Buona la difesa, centrocampo poco incisivo dal punto di vista della costruzione. Plescia praticamente mai servito, mentre per Emmausso un passo indietro rispetto alle precedenti prestazioni con una partita anonima ed un ammonizione che porta alla sua squalifica per l’ultima partita casalinga del girone di andata contro il Monopoli.

Edgar, opera dimenticata di Giacomo Puccini

Il 29 novembre 1924 moriva, in un ospedale di Bruxelles, il leggendario compositore Giacomo Puccini, autore di capolavori come La Boheme e Madame Butterfly, ma anche di Edgar, lavoro ispirato alla grand opera francese… Nel 1889 il successo delle Villi convinse l’editore Giulio Ricordi ad accogliere Puccini nella sua scuderia, a concedergli uno stipendio fisso mensile di 200 lire e a commissionargli una seconda opera, Edgar, su libretto di Ferdinando Fontana, tratta dal poema drammatico La coupe et les lèvres di Alfred de Musset. La composizione impegnò Puccini per quattro anni, mentre cominciò la sua travagliata relazione con Elvira Bonturi, da cui ebbe il primogenito Antonio. La prima rappresentazione di Edgar, avvenuta il  21 aprile 1889 diretta da Franco Faccio e con Romilda Pantaleoni alla Scala di Milano, non fu quel successo che Puccini e Ricordi si aspettavano, infatti fu seguita da solo due repliche. Subito dopo Puccini iniziò a revisionare la partitura in vista di una possibile ripresa, che avvenne soltanto nel settembre 1891 al Teatro del Giglio di Lucca, con un grande successo. La rappresentazione lucchese servì a Puccini per definire una nuova versione in tre atti, abolendo il quarto e riducendo il secondo, che andò in scena nel 1892 a Ferrara, Torino, Madrid e Brescia. Una terza versione fu preparata per il festival pucciniano organizzato nel 1905 a Buenos Aires, ma l’esito fu deludente, venne poi rappresentata a La Valletta nel 1920 In Italia Edgar tornò prima alla radio, il 10 agosto 1935, e poi sulla scena, al Teatro Lirico di Milano, il 24 dicembre 1944. Il 25 giugno 2008 l'opera  fu finalmente allestita, al Teatro Regio di Torino, in una versione simile a quella della prima scaligera con José Cura ed Amarilli Nizza e venne riproposta anche al Teatro Comunale di Bologna nel 2010. La vicenda comincia nel 1302, in un villaggio delle Fiandre, durante la Messa mattutina, quando Tigrana, una zingara, intona una canzone blasfema suscitando l’indignazione del paese che l’ha allevata. La zingara viene difesa dal giovane Edgar il quale, nonostante sia innamorato dalla dolce Fidelia, non riesce a sottrarsi al fascino di Tigrana tanto da decidere di fuggire con lei. In poco tempo i due amanti vivono  in un sontuoso castello, ma Edgar non  comincia a sentire molto intensamente la nostalgia per la sua casa e Fidelia così, sentendo rulli di tamburi e suoni di fanfare militari che accompagnano un esercito diretto a una battaglia, decide di cambiare vita e segue, ignorando i tentativi di Tigrana per trattenerlo, il gruppo guidato da Frank, fratello di Fidelia L’esercito fiammingo vince lo scontro, ma subisce ingenti perdite e tra gli scomparsi c’è anche Edgar per il quale nei pressi del villaggio si stanno celebrando solenni funerali. Alla celebrazione delle gesta di Edgar  c’è un frate che ricorda a tutti le numerose colpe di cui si è macchiato il giovane suscitando la reazione di Fidelia, decisa a difendere la memoria dell’amato. Finita la cerimonia funebre, giunge Tigrana che viene avvicinata dal frate che, offrendole oro e oggetti preziosi, le suggerisce una macchinazione ai danni del morto. Tigrana così ammette di essere stata l’amante di Edgar aggiungendo che era intenzionato a tradire la sua patria. Alla sue affermazioni alcuni soldati si avvicinano per profanare la bara, ma, aprendola, trovano soltanto l’armatura così il frate, che altri non è se non Edgar, si spoglia del suo saio e accusa Tigrana di fronte a tutti.
