EDITOR'S NOTE
|
For her debut solo album Love + Loss, Australian mezzo-soprano and Limelight Award-winner Fiona Campbell has made the bold decision to pose nude on the cover. To give this beautiful release some exposure (pun intended!) we've placed her in the company of ten classical artists in the buff… The good, the bad and the just plain funny!
The cover star of Limelight's February issue (no, he's not naked) is Leonard Bernstein: conductor, composer, pianist, educator… A colossus of 20th-century music. In tell-all interviews, his friends, family and colleagues share their memories of the man and the myth.
To celebrate the life of this music legend, we have created a Leonard Bernstein gallery featuring rare and candid photos. Exclusively for the website, we chatted with American baritone Jubilant Sykes - with a name like that he was born to sing the Celebrant in Bernstein's Mass, which he performs at the Adelaide Festival.
Also in the February issue, we discover how The Four Seasons was rescued from obscurity by a band of intrepid young Italians to become the most famous piece of classical music today. And we investigate a controversial theory: was Wagner Jewish? Get your copy of the magazine with free postage from our online store.
This month Limelight launches our nationwide search for a new classical CD reviewer to join our team of experts. Could you be our new critic? If you love Bach and Stravinsky as much as you love a good turn of phrase, enter our competition. We look forward to reading your reviews!
