Working with the Lehner Quartet, we explore how mastering can do much more than simply adjust levels and prepare a recording for release. The goal is to preserve the natural balance of a string quartet while subtly guiding the listener's attention towards the musical voice that matters most at any given moment. We discuss the delicate boundary between mixing and mastering, and how very small, carefully controlled adjustments can influence the perception of an instrument without changing the fundamental character of the mix. We also look at the challenge of creating coherence across an entire album: maintaining a consistent acoustic and sonic experience from one piece to another while preserving the individual character of every composition. Featuring musical examples from Lehner Quartet – Volume 2, including Jana Skarecky's Karrimurra Waterfall. Welcome to Beyond Recording — exploring the art of classical music production.

How does a composer build a relationship with the audience? In this excerpt from the Magnificent Nine documentary series, Anna Ouspenskaya explores the powerful connection between a composer and the listener — and how Beethoven mastered the art of creating that relationship through music. From the very first notes, Beethoven draws the audience into a musical conversation, creating expectation, tension, surprise, and emotional connection. His symphonies don't simply present ideas to us — they invite us to listen, anticipate, and become part of the experience. A fascinating insight into Beethoven’s unique approach to communicating with an audience through music. Beethoven’s Third Symphony, Eroica, marks a decisive break from Classical convention. Monumental in scale and ambition, it expands sonata form, intensifies harmonic tension, and treats thematic material with unprecedented developmental weight. The symphony is driven by bold rhythmic motives, abrupt contrasts, and a pervasive sense of struggle and transformation. Originally conceived in a heroic vein, Eroica presents not triumph alone but conflict, loss, and hard-won resolution, establishing a new model for the symphony as a dramatic and philosophical statement. Continuing our series dedicated to Beethoven’s Nine Symphonies, this video presents selected highlights from the documentary series, followed by commentary from Anna Ouspenskaya and Chris Ka Long Au, reflecting on key musical and historical insights. BEETHOVEN’S UNIVERSE In the ongoing Beethoven’s Universe series, Lawrence Rapchak examines each movement of Beethoven’s symphonies, revealing their inner structures and illuminating the architecture of each complete work. The series combines musical analysis with a visually engaging experience created by the Virtual Concert Halls team, featuring full scores and piano reductions with highlighted passages, composer portraits, performance photographs, landscapes, and curated images of Beethoven.

In this special episode of Beyond Recording, we take the process one step further. Instead of simply explaining how to become a Registered Artist on Spotify, we invite musicians to join us and go through the procedure live. Starting with a browser and an existing Spotify release, we guide our guests step by step through Spotify for Artists — from finding the correct Artist Profile and verifying their identity to submitting their request for access. Along the way, we discover what happens when you actually go through the process, what questions Spotify asks, and what an artist needs to have ready before starting. We also look at Spotify's transition from the traditional Verified Artist status to the new Registered Artist designation introduced in 2026. A practical, hands-on episode of Beyond Recording, with real artists, real profiles, and the real Spotify registration process.

It is about bringing together the strongest musical moments while preserving the continuity, character and emotional direction of the performance. In this episode of Beyond Recording, we take a closer look at the editing of César Franck’s Symphony in D minor, recorded live with the Paducah Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Raffaele Livio Ponti. How do you choose between different takes? How can edits be made across a large-scale symphonic structure without disturbing the listener? And how do you preserve the relationship between the different sections of a large orchestra? We also explore one of the most important questions in the editing process: when is it time to stop? Because an orchestral recording can always be made technically “better” — but too much editing can ultimately take away the natural character of a live performance. From the first selection of takes to the final decision to leave an imperfection untouched, this episode explores editing as a musical discipline rather than a purely technical one. César Franck — Symphony in D minor Live recorded with the Paducah Symphony Orchestra Conductor: Raffaele Livio Ponti From meditative darkness to quiet devotion and final illumination, Franck’s Symphony in D minor reveals a deeply spiritual arc shaped with architectural clarity by the Paducah Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of Raffaele Livio Ponti.

And what does it mean to become a Registered Artist? In this episode of Beyond Recording, we take you through the complete process, step by step, starting from the moment an artist already has a release available on Spotify. Featuring Jennifer Savage, a pianist, professional accompanist and collaborator based in New York and the DC area, regularly performing at Carnegie Weill recital hall, collaborating with the New York Chamber Players orchestra conducted by Giacomo Franci, Orchestra Manhattan conducted by David Wroe, and was previously Program Coordinator and Administrator Assistant at the Summit Music Festival. As a Spotify verified recording artist, she has recorded many digital albums available on Youtube, Spotify, and major platforms including concert season opener with the Paducah Symphony Orchestra, KY conducted by Raffaele Ponti released 2026 performing live Rachmaninov No. 2. She has also recorded on digital album "The Road to Zlin" with publisher label Cicerone Music & Art released November 2024, performing the Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No. 2 with the Czech Bohuslav Martinů Philharmonic orchestra conducted by Gevorg Sargsyan, in Zlin Czech Republic as well as the Gershwin Piano Concerto in F with the Lviv National Philharmonic in Ukraine, conducted by Theodore Kuchar, in Lviv, Ukraine. We guide the artist through Spotify for Artists, showing how to find and claim the correct Artist Profile, verify their identity, provide the necessary social or website information, submit the request, and understand what happens once Spotify approves it. We also look at the recent transition from the traditional Verified Artist status to Spotify's new Registered Artist designation, introduced in 2026. Whether you are an independent musician, a classical artist, a producer, or simply starting to build your presence on streaming platforms, this episode shows you exactly what to do — and what to expect along the way.

From microphone placement and acoustic perspective to editing, stereo imaging and mastering, this episode reveals how recording technology can support — rather than overshadow — the musical expression. 🎻 Featured Recording: Lehner Quartet - Volume 1 & Volume 2 Production Focus: • Recording • Editing • Mixing • Mastering • Acoustic Vision In this episode, we explore: • What makes the Lehner Quartet unique • The challenges of recording contemporary string quartet repertoire • How performers make complex musical structures accessible • The philosophy behind the unusual microphone placement • Recreating the perspective of a listener in the room • Building a natural stereo image between the four instruments • How editing can preserve the physical relationship between musicians • The role of mastering in bringing important musical phrases forward • Why a recording should be more than a document of a performance The episode also features excerpts from works by Joel Feigin and Jana Skarecky, performed by the Lehner Quartet. 🎵 Music featured in this episode: Joel Feigin - Mosaic in Two Panels - excerpt Jana Skarecky - I. Kata Tjut - excerpt Jana Skarecky - IV. Karrimurra Waterfall - excerpt At the heart of the conversation is a simple question: How can a recording make a past musical performance become present again? Welcome to Beyond Recording - exploring the art of classical music production.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Heritage and Harmony: Silver Linings, an Album Spotlighting Music by Under- Represented Composers, Will Be Released on May 1st New EP Featuring AAPI/BIPOC Artists Aims to Promote Understanding and Tolerance and Combat Racism New York, NY—April 26, 2021 On May 1st, pianist and music producer Donna Weng Friedman will be releasing the EP album Heritage and Harmony: Silver Linings. The album, which will be available on Spotify, Amazon, Tidal and other online outlets, is intended as a response to the wave of violence against Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) individuals, and aims to promote understanding and tolerance among people of all backgrounds. It features Ms. Weng Friedman and soprano Indira Mahajan performing music by composers Margaret Bonds, Beata Moon, Florence B. Price, and Chinary Ung. The performers and composers are all members of the AAPI and/or BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Color) communities. https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/donnawengfriedman/heritage-and-harmony-silver-linings The album’s release date is timed to coincide with the start of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. “I am an Asian American concert pianist, and like so many of us, my heart aches from the ongoing hate crimes against our AAPI community,” says Ms. Weng Friedman. “Each piece on this EP album helped get me through the pandemic year, which started with my being assaulted on the street of New York City for being Asian, and ended with my entire family getting sick with COVID-19.” All proceeds from the album will be donated to the Korean American Community Foundation (KACF) an organization that supports the AAPI community through philanthropy and education. “The KAFC is committed to fighting for diversity, equity and inclusion, and will not tolerate racism on any level,” notes Ms. Weng Friedman. “I learned an incredible amount from their virtual information sessions, talks and panels over the last year.” She adds, “My hope is that this album will resonate with people of all ethnicities who are looking for a way to help support our AAPI community. By listening to each track on Heritage and Harmony: Silver Linings, they can enjoy the glorious music of incredible but under-represented BIPOC composers and musicians while also making a small but valuable contribution to the AAPI community.” For more information, contact: Donna Weng Friedman donnawengfriedman@gmail.com Reproducir video Reproducir video 53:21 Sadie Goodman, flute - Sound Espressivo Laureates' Recital Program: 2:57 Jules Mouquet - La Flûte de Pan (I.

Yacobs Royz Duo (Maria Yacubovich, Alexey Rozov) Дуэт "Роза Якова" (Мария Якубович, Алексей Розов) "Жила-была сказка", еврейская колыбельная, Открытая репетиция в клубе Арт'Эрия 23 мая 2017 года. Однажды, на заре христианства у славянских народов, в Польшу забрел странствующий купец, еврей Абрам Проховник. Приняли его хлебом-солью и упросили стать королем – дескать, было у них знамение свыше, что король явится народу в виде странника. Сутки правил Абрам и остался в истории как «король на день». Наутро он был убит и брошен собакам. Жила-была сказка, Сказка несчастливая, Сказка началась С еврейского короля. Припев: Тише, моя маленькая птичка, Тише, дитя мое, Я потеряла такую любовь, О, горе мне. У короля была королева, У королевы – виноградник, В винограднике –дерево, Тише, дитя мое. У дерева – ветка, На ветке – гнездо. В гнезде жила птичка, Тише, дитя мое. Тише, моя маленькая птичка ... Король умер, Королева удалилась от мира, Ветка сломалась, Гнездо опустело, Птичка улетела.

Working with the Lehner Quartet, we explore how mastering can do much more than simply adjust levels and prepare a recording for release. The goal is to preserve the natural balance of a string quartet while subtly guiding the listener's attention towards the musical voice that matters most at any given moment. We discuss the delicate boundary between mixing and mastering, and how very small, carefully controlled adjustments can influence the perception of an instrument without changing the fundamental character of the mix. We also look at the challenge of creating coherence across an entire album: maintaining a consistent acoustic and sonic experience from one piece to another while preserving the individual character of every composition. Featuring musical examples from Lehner Quartet – Volume 2, including Jana Skarecky's Karrimurra Waterfall. Welcome to Beyond Recording — exploring the art of classical music production.

How does a composer build a relationship with the audience? In this excerpt from the Magnificent Nine documentary series, Anna Ouspenskaya explores the powerful connection between a composer and the listener — and how Beethoven mastered the art of creating that relationship through music. From the very first notes, Beethoven draws the audience into a musical conversation, creating expectation, tension, surprise, and emotional connection. His symphonies don't simply present ideas to us — they invite us to listen, anticipate, and become part of the experience. A fascinating insight into Beethoven’s unique approach to communicating with an audience through music. Beethoven’s Third Symphony, Eroica, marks a decisive break from Classical convention. Monumental in scale and ambition, it expands sonata form, intensifies harmonic tension, and treats thematic material with unprecedented developmental weight. The symphony is driven by bold rhythmic motives, abrupt contrasts, and a pervasive sense of struggle and transformation. Originally conceived in a heroic vein, Eroica presents not triumph alone but conflict, loss, and hard-won resolution, establishing a new model for the symphony as a dramatic and philosophical statement. Continuing our series dedicated to Beethoven’s Nine Symphonies, this video presents selected highlights from the documentary series, followed by commentary from Anna Ouspenskaya and Chris Ka Long Au, reflecting on key musical and historical insights. BEETHOVEN’S UNIVERSE In the ongoing Beethoven’s Universe series, Lawrence Rapchak examines each movement of Beethoven’s symphonies, revealing their inner structures and illuminating the architecture of each complete work. The series combines musical analysis with a visually engaging experience created by the Virtual Concert Halls team, featuring full scores and piano reductions with highlighted passages, composer portraits, performance photographs, landscapes, and curated images of Beethoven.

In this special episode of Beyond Recording, we take the process one step further. Instead of simply explaining how to become a Registered Artist on Spotify, we invite musicians to join us and go through the procedure live. Starting with a browser and an existing Spotify release, we guide our guests step by step through Spotify for Artists — from finding the correct Artist Profile and verifying their identity to submitting their request for access. Along the way, we discover what happens when you actually go through the process, what questions Spotify asks, and what an artist needs to have ready before starting. We also look at Spotify's transition from the traditional Verified Artist status to the new Registered Artist designation introduced in 2026. A practical, hands-on episode of Beyond Recording, with real artists, real profiles, and the real Spotify registration process.

It is about bringing together the strongest musical moments while preserving the continuity, character and emotional direction of the performance. In this episode of Beyond Recording, we take a closer look at the editing of César Franck’s Symphony in D minor, recorded live with the Paducah Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Raffaele Livio Ponti. How do you choose between different takes? How can edits be made across a large-scale symphonic structure without disturbing the listener? And how do you preserve the relationship between the different sections of a large orchestra? We also explore one of the most important questions in the editing process: when is it time to stop? Because an orchestral recording can always be made technically “better” — but too much editing can ultimately take away the natural character of a live performance. From the first selection of takes to the final decision to leave an imperfection untouched, this episode explores editing as a musical discipline rather than a purely technical one. César Franck — Symphony in D minor Live recorded with the Paducah Symphony Orchestra Conductor: Raffaele Livio Ponti From meditative darkness to quiet devotion and final illumination, Franck’s Symphony in D minor reveals a deeply spiritual arc shaped with architectural clarity by the Paducah Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of Raffaele Livio Ponti.

And what does it mean to become a Registered Artist? In this episode of Beyond Recording, we take you through the complete process, step by step, starting from the moment an artist already has a release available on Spotify. Featuring Jennifer Savage, a pianist, professional accompanist and collaborator based in New York and the DC area, regularly performing at Carnegie Weill recital hall, collaborating with the New York Chamber Players orchestra conducted by Giacomo Franci, Orchestra Manhattan conducted by David Wroe, and was previously Program Coordinator and Administrator Assistant at the Summit Music Festival.

We guide the artist through Spotify for Artists, showing how to find and claim the correct Artist Profile, verify their identity, provide the necessary social or website information, submit the request, and understand what happens once Spotify approves it. We also look at the recent transition from the traditional Verified Artist status to Spotify's new Registered Artist designation, introduced in 2026. Whether you are an independent musician, a classical artist, a producer, or simply starting to build your presence on streaming platforms, this episode shows you exactly what to do — and what to expect along the way.

Building relationship between musicians from all other the world: a great new way of sharing between all of us! Apply by November 30 https://www.soundespressivocompetition.com/home Olivier Chassain was born in Paris in 1957. He began studying the guitar in Limousin with Roger Généraux and completed his training with Carel Harms. In 1977, he entered the Conservatory of Paris (the current Cnsmdp) where he obtained in 1982 a first prize for guitar in the class of Alexandre Lagoya; he was also awarded a prize for counterpoint (class of Bernard de Crépy) and a prize for harmony (class of Roger Boutry). Today, his triple professional activity makes him lead simultaneously: a career as a concert performer, which took on an international dimension when he won the first prize in the "Guitar Foundation of America international competition" in 1988, thus becoming the first non-American guitarist to receive the highest distinction of this competition worldwide renamed. The following year (in 1989) he made a major tour organized by the GFA, across the entire North American continent: he was invited there regularly for concerts and master-classes, as well as on other continents. a career as a composer: he is the author of numerous works, in particular for guitar, such as: “ Fantastic echoes ” i n memoriam I. Presti and A.Lagoya , “ Etoiles ”, “ Arion ”, “ De loin en loin ”, sonata for two guitars (1995), “ Doigts de fées ” (2010) for flute and guitar, sonata for solo guitar (2011)…, and educational collections such as “ Patchwork ”, “ Ad hoc ”, “ Brèves de lectern ”(2012)… a teaching career which took off in Orléans in 1978, following his first teacher, Roger Généraux (he was established after obtaining his CA at the age of 21), and which saw its accomplishment when he was appointed in 1992 at the Jacques Thibaud Conservatory in Bordeaux, then in 1994 to succeed his master Alexandre Lagoya, as guitar teacher at the Paris National Conservatory of Music and Dance (Cnsmdp), where he still teaches today. Olivier Chassain regularly leads, in addition to his conservatory lessons, instrumental improvement sessions within the framework of festivals, summer academies, as was notably the case in Dordogne from 1995 to 2010, at the Britten school in Périgueux directed by Jean-Jacques Rouveroux: this institute organized ad hoc courses throughout the year in all musical disciplines, and called on internationally renowned artists. Olivier Chassain thus had, for his summer internship, the opportunity to invite many friends, renowned guitarists, such as J. Cogan, N. Koshkin, SI. Fukuda, B. Kanengiser, D. Bogdanovic, SE Olsen, F. Zigante, L. Blanquart, H. Navez, Jim Smith. Since 2010, it has been organizing new sessions in Limousin, throughout the year. Olivier Chassain's repertoire displays a great eclecticism, from the Renaissance to the music of today. Passionate about early music, he has also devoted himself to the lute and the vihuela for many years, in order to transmit through this privileged approach the sound and the spirit of this music. He is also fond of French music from the Grand Siècle and romantic music, which he plays alone or in the company of eminent artists such as P. Gallois, Ph. Muller, P.-H. Xuereb, R. Pidoux, E. Aubier, F. Pierre, G. Millière ... Ardent defender of contemporary creation, Olivier Chassain is the dedicatee of numerous works for guitar (Stephen Dodgson, Antonio Ruiz-Pipo, Thierry Pécou, Sean Heim) and of concertos: "Escales" by Roland Creuze: created in Bordeaux with the ensemble Musique Nouvelle and Michel Fusté-Lambezat, as well as that of Edith Lejet, "Flowers in the shape of diamonds", from the concerto by Alain-Michel Riou, and more recently by Alain Margoni. Olivier Chassain has made several records, under different labels, including "Almost a song" (Metronome recordings) which was crowned with the "Choc" of the World of Music, and "Eventail" by the review Classica. An album devoted to the complete compositions of Ida Presti - the world's first recording -, in duet with the Norwegian guitarist Stein-Erik Olsen, received a rave reception from music critics (ranked in the 'top 5' of the 10 best albums classics of 2009 in Scandinavia), under the Simax label. Several other recordings are in the pipeline, including a second album with his friend SE Olsen, for the Simax label, in a repertoire of original works dedicated to the Duo Presti-Lagoya.

We are extremely grateful everyone who donated funds, produced the event, helped get the public aware and informed. The Fundraiser was a great tribute to human empathy and collaboration. This campaign is now closed CHICAGO’S UKRAINIAN INSTITUTE FOR MODERN ART PARTNERS WITH VIRTUAL CONCERT HALLS TO HOST A LIVE GLOBAL INTERNET BROADCAST TO BENEFIT UNICEF USA All Funds Raised will Support Emergency and Humanitarian Aid for Ukrainian Families and Children Suffering from the Devastation of War Wednesday, April 13, 2022 6:00am-11:59pm EST/EDT Chicago -- On April 13, 2022, the Ukrainian Institute for Modern Art (UIMA) is partnering with Virtual Concert Halls (VCHS) , a Virginia-based ITV producer, to host a global online fundraising effort to benefit UNICEF USA, who are committed to providing emergency aid to families and children in Ukraine. The event will stream to multiple social media platforms including YouTube, Facebook, Twitch and LinkedIn. Virtual Concert Halls will take the 18-hour live Internet Web stream from 5:00 a.m. to 11 p.m. CT from the Institute’s gallery and distribute it live to major social media platforms. Virtual Concert Halls streams live events from all over the world and are experts at streaming simultaneously on multiple social media platforms. Throughout the broadcast, news anchors will interview a wide variety of people who are close to the situation in Ukraine including historians, scholars, lawmakers, young Ukrainian refugees who recently arrived in Chicago, among others. UNICEF has been in Ukraine for 25 years—and it is on the ground now, delivering safe water, health and hygiene supplies, blankets, warm clothes and psycho-social care to children and their families. Security is especially crucial during this time when many children and youth are separated from their families which leaves them in indescribably vulnerable. Donations are accepted any time before, during, and after the live stream. According to a recent statement by UNICEF USA, two million children have now been forced to flee Ukraine, as the war rages on. “The situation inside Ukraine is spiraling,” said UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell. “As the number of children fleeing their homes continues to climb, we must remember that every single one of them needs protection, education, safety and support.” In a joint statement, Motria Melnyk, President of the Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art and Marta Farion, Vice President said, "The war in Ukraine is breaking all of our hearts and so the opportunity to make our facility the staging area for this amazing fundraising effort was enthusiastically welcomed by our board and staff." In addition to her work at the Ukrainian Institute, Farion is also the president of the Kyiv-Mohyla Foundation of America. Virtual Concert Halls co-founder, Anna Ouspenskaya, said, “We are deeply touched and honored to be included in this project. People on our team come from different continents and backgrounds, but many of us share one thing in common: we carry scars and pains of being raised in the countries of the former Soviet bloc, or have relatives who endured the horrors of that terrible regime. Working on this project is the least we can do for Ukrainians who are enduring unimaginable pain. My colleagues at VCHS and I myself are putting our whole hearts into this effort.” HELPING UNICEF IN UKRAINE Internet Broadcast is spearheaded by veteran public radio broadcaster, Steve Robinson, President of New Media Productions. In 2003 for the victims of the tsunami and again in 2010 for victims of the earthquake in Haiti, Steve organized all-day fundraisers in involving virtually all Chicago television and radio stations that each raised $3 million in humanitarian assistance. “I hope this 18-hour continuous stream raises millions of dollars for UNICEF in this emergency,” Robinson said. ABOUT UNICEF: The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) works in more than 190 countries and territories to pursue a more equitable world for every child. UNICEF has helped save more children’s lives than any other humanitarian organization, by providing health care and immunizations, safe water and sanitation, nutrition, education, emergency relief and more.

En profundidad Tocar música es tan atlético como cualquier deporte, y requiere una gran cantidad de precisión y entrenamiento para perfeccionar el arte. Algunos músicos encuentran emoción en llevar los límites de la ejecución rápida a niveles más allá nuestra imaginación y comprensión, mostrando al mundo de lo que somos capaces los humanos. Los intérpretes rápidos trabajan para llevar el metrónomo a su punto de ruptura e impresionar de una manera clara. Criterios generales Tempo extremo: la velocidad de cambio entre notas y la coordinación más rápida es uno de los dos componentes clave para impresionar al club de los intérpretes veloces. Precisión extrema: la precisión de cada nota y cambio es el otro componente clave para una interpretación llamativa. Presentación maravillosa: tocar rápido es una cosa, pero ver como si no hubieras sudado al hacerlo y tal vez tuvieras tiempo para guiñar un ojo a la multitud puede realmente llevar el calor a la audiencia. Consistencia: mantenerse llamativo es genial, pero hacerlo durante toda la duración de una pieza y probar trabajos más grandes y más duros sin vacilar es mostrar un verdadero dominio.
