Notes
on Music
Renée
Silberman, essayist on topics of musical interest, has authored program
notes for
performances in concert halls in Canada
and the U.S. She
provided texts on works by Mozart,
Beethoven and Schumann for the Serafin
String Quartet on the occasion
of their
Carnegie Recital Hall debut appearance (2004) and
prepared notes
for their return engagement on April
23, 2005, and returned with the Serafins to Carnegie Hall in May,
2006. She will once again return to Carnegie Hall in September, 2007. Her material
accompanies all recitals on the
Serenata Music Series. Ms. Silberman also
contributed the liner notes to Poème
Mystique, a CD featuring Sergiu
Schwartz, violin, and Alec Chien,
piano (Roméo
Records, 2003).
Recognized for
meticulous scholarship and a lively
style (“according to Renée Silberman’s
uncommonly informative program annotations….[which] shed
much interesting light,” Harris Goldsmith in New
York Concert Review), she
creates articles richly detailed, educational and entertaining. With
a background in cultural history, she
places the purely musical aspects of
her writings within the context of
the times. She explores the interrelationship of the dynamics
of cultural movements that influenced composers and
the inner motivations
pressing composers to seek new directions. Her
research embraces subjects ranging from Purcell and
English song to
the art of modern French song; from the quartets of Haydn to those of
Bartok
and Shostakovich; from Court orchestras to concentration camp
orchestras.
Most
recently
Renée Silberman completed a biographical
sketch of Maria Rosé, published in London:
100 Fascinating Lives (Lorimer, Toronto,
2005), and a booklet of notes to accompany the compact disc Reflections with Coenraad Bloemendal, cello, and Erica Goodman, harp, which will be issued in the fall of 2007.
