PARAGON 0F ROMANCE
Fortheir iinal programme this season Paragon otter an intriguing choice oi old and new. Concentrating on the theme oi the symphony, or, more accurately, as there are only 14 musicians, the chamber symphony, the performances (in Edinburgh on Sunday 16 and Glasgow on Monday 17) open with the original version oi Wagner's tender symphonic poem, Sieglried ldyll. Scored ior 13 instruments, the piece was dedicated to Wagner’s wile Cosima and given its premiere on her tirst birthday after their marriage, which had the additional romantic attraction oi ialling on Christmas Day. Equally romantic wasthe venue—the sweeping staircase at their summer house on Lake Luzern, the sound oi the new piece drifting up to Cosima as she awoke. Those who saw the Tony Palmer him at Wagner’s lite may recall
(Ly .4, :' y "f ‘/ f f, I
he had the trumpeter, Hans Richter, practising in the middle oi the lake so that Cosima would not be able to hear, an incident which may or may not be a creation 01 Tony Palmer’s own invention, but which nonetheless adds even more to the romance.
Whether Edinburgh composer Lyell Cresswell might have opted tor a similar premiere ior his new chamber symphony, Passacagli, is unknown, but it is not to be as it iorms the second major work oi Paragon’s programme. This marks the iirst ot a series at important commissions by Paragon trom Scottish composers, Thomas Wilson and James MacMillan (who has just been signed up by music publishers Universal Edition) being next on the list.
