University of Greenwich: 7th December

Phil — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 20:08:45 +0000

It’s always a bit hard to run two quite different sessions on the same thing, where quite a few people are present at both sessions. I’ve therefore put today’s slides up as two presentations, which overlap with the key things I mentioned on both sessions, but which include the differences. I’ve removed the pictures and links from each to keep the file size down. I’d love to have had another hour or two to go more deeply into reliability, validity, authenticity and so on – but you can follow that plot from Chapter 5. Here are the presentations: Greenwich afternoon (83), Greenwich evening (72), and you might also find the ‘assessment digest’ in the previous post relevant.

‘Assessment Digest, 2011′

For those of you who’ve heard me talking about assessment and feedback recently (and indeed those who haven’t), this little Word file brings together some of the main sources and thoughts I’ve mentioned. Let me know if it’s useful to you. Assessment Digest 2011 (180)

Bruckner: Symphony No.2 in C Minor: 24th November

Phil — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 18:52:17 +0000

Bruckner’s ’2nd’ is not his best known or most loved. Last night, however, Mario Venzago and the Northern Sinfonia re-invented it to great aclaim. Venzago clearly was ‘living’ the symphony, and the orchestra was unanimous in bringing his realisation to glorious life. Admittedly, it was best to sit there, consciously casting out of mind what Bruckner was later to do in (for example, his 3rd, 4th and 9th) essays into the symphony, and simply focus on what was being created. Sadly, there were numerous empty seats in ‘The Sage’ at Gateshead, even after the first part of the concert when Bradley Creswick produced an impeccable reading of Mozart’s best violin concerto. The untiring Bradley rejoined his colleagues in the Sinfonia to lead this formidable interpretation of Bruckner’s 2nd. The version used was from 2005 and attempts to recreate the original score which was attacked at its premiere by the Vienna Philharmonic, but which was rapturously received – as indeed it was last night. A full and useful programme note by Richard Yates added to one’s appreciation. One of my most enjoyed concerts at the Sage.
