专辑简介
Joshua Rifkin (Conductor, Musicologist)
Born: April 22, 1944 - New York, New York, USA
The American musicologist, pianist and conductor, Joshua Rifkin, studied
with Persichetti at the Juilliard School of music in New York, receiving
his B.S. in 1964. He also studied with Gustave Reese at New York
University (1964-1966), at the University of Göttingen (1966-1967), and
later with Mendel, Lockwood, Babbitt, and Oster at Princeton University,
receiving his M.F.A. in 1969. He also worked with Stockhausen at Darmstadt
in 1961 and 1965.
Joshua Rifkin has won international acclaim as conductor, pianist, and
harpsichordist for performances of music ranging from Monteverdi to
Stravinsky, Bach to Richard Strauss, and Mozart to Gershwin, Copland, and
the most recent moderns. He led The Bach Ensemble from 1978. He is noted
for his research in the field of Renaissance and Baroque music, but he
became popular as a performer and explicator of ragtime.
Joshua Rifkin has led and appeared as soloist with many prominent
orchestras, among them the English Chamber Orchestra, the St. Louis
Symphony, the San Francisco Symphony, the Victorian State Symphony of
Melbourne, the St. Paul, Los Angeles, Scottish: and Prague Chamber
Orchestras, the Haydn Orchestra of Bolzano and Trent, the Jerusalem
Symphony, the Solistas de México, the BBC Concert Orchestra, the City of
London Sinfonia, the National Arts Centre Orchestra of Ottawa, and the
Houston Symphony.
Beyond his work with The Bach Ensemble, Joshua Rifkin's activities in the
world of early music have included an enthusiastically received production
of Monteverdi's L'Orfeo at Switzerland's Theater Basel, the modern
premiere of Alessandro Scarlatti's Venere, Amore e Ragione in Chicago,
Mozart's Requiem and poly-choral Psalms of Heinrich Schütz at the Utrecht
Early Music Festival, and guest appearances with the Ensemble Gradus ad
Parnassum of Vienna, the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, and the St James's
Baroque Players of London, as well as recordings of Mozart's "Posthorn"
Serenade and several Haydn symphonies with the Cappella Coloniensis of
Germany. Highlights with modern orchestras and ensembles include staged
performances of Stravinsky's L'Histoire du soldat in the USA and
Australia; the Melbourne premiere of Weill's Die sieben Todsünden; the
European and Canadian premieres of Gunther Schuller's And They All Played
Ragtime; Bach's St. Matthew Passion (BWV 244) in the 1911 version of Ivor
Atkins and Edward Elgar; and the posthumous premiere and first recording
of Silvestre Revueltas's theater music Este era un rey with the Camerata
de las Americas.
Joshua Rifkin has taught in several universities, including Brandeis
(1970-1982), Harvard, New York and Yale. He is noted for his research in
the field of Renaissance and Baroque music, and contributed scholarly
studies to many publications in America and Europe, among them The Musical
Quarterly, Bach-Jahrbuch, The Journal of the American Musicological
Society, Early Music Magazine, 19th Century Music, The New Grove
Dictionary of Music and Musicians.
In 1999 the University of Dortmund, Germany, awarded Joshua Rifkin an
honorary doctorate for his contributions to Bach interpretation; he has
also held guest seminars, workshops, and master-classes at universities
and conservatories throughout Europe and the USA. In the autumn of 2001
Joshua Rifkin makes his debut at the Bayerische Staatsoper in Munich with
a new production of Purcell's Dido and Aeneas and Georg Frideric Handel's
Acis and Galatea.
