August 20, 2008 by marinda

Gaan kyk 'n bietjie na hierdie onderhoud met die Kaap se geliefde sopraan en wenner van Standerd Bank se Young Artist's Award 2008, Zanne Stapelberg. Terloops, sy verwag volgende maand haar eersteling. Sal dit nie great wees as sy en Anna Netrebko hul seuntjies op dieselfde dag in die lewe kan bring nie?

The Washington Post has called him a "pianist of genius".

Gustavo speel ook op 1 Augustus in die Burgersentrum op Hermanus. Hou die Hermanus Times dop vir meer besonderhede of kontak my by mehlers@hermanus.co.za.

Kalfiefees, Onrusrivier, Hermanus

July 1, 2008 by marinda

Die Kalfiefees se kaartjieverkope het vandag flink afgeskop.

Een produksie wat nie gemis mag word nie, is 'n Ander Tongval, met Antoinette Kellerman as Dot Serfontein en Nina Swart as Antjie Krog. Ek het dit verlede jaar by die KKNK gesien en kan dit sterk aanbeveel.

'n Relatief onbekende Lize Beekman het 11 jaar gelede by die eerste Kalfiefees tydens die Vrouedag in die feestent sit en klavier speel en gesing. Vanjaar is sy hier met Sit 'n bietjie langs my. En ek kan julle verseker julle sal nie spyt wees as julle dit bywoon nie.

Re: Boekefees Kaapstad

So gepraat van Galway. Dit het onmiddellik, benewens al die songs met Galway Bay in, "The Wild Rover" by my laat opkom.

Wikipedia sê hieroor:

When performed live in a pub setting, or for an audience, it is a custom for the participants to bang on the table or clap their hands in cadence four times during the break in the chorus, thus: And it's no, nay, never (clap - clap - clap - clap) no, nay, never, no more... Also during the break some scream "lift up your kilts" (or skirts) in cadence to the clap. In Ireland this is replaced by "rise up your pints!" and all assembled raise their glasses and toast the chant.

Man, is dit nou nie lekker nie?

PS. Ek het ook toevallig 'n Vita Sackville West-oomblik in Galway ervaar, wat dit vir my nog meer onvergeetlik maak.

Paulus, jy is inderdaad 'n gelukkige man as jou vrou en kinders jou obsessie vir lees met jou deel. En hoe bevoorreg is hulle nie om 'n man en pa soos jy te hê nie! Klink vir my soos die ultimate household. Maar, man, jy (en sommer jou hele gesin) moet by Boekemakranka aansluit. Dis waar dinge rondom boeke en skrywes gebeur.

Penderecki in Cape Town!

June 19, 2008 by marinda

Perhaps the biggest news relating to the 3rd Cape Town International Summer Music Festival (20 November-18 December) is the fact that Krzysztof Penderecki, one of the most highly rated modern composers and conductors in the world, has chosen Cape Town and the CPO to form part of his 75th birthday celebrations. On 18 December he will be conducting South African premières of two of his own works "Largo for Cello" and his Piano Concerto The Resurrection with soloists Alexander Ivashkin (cello) and Florian Uhlig (piano). Maestro Penderecki's participation in the festival attests to the international recognition already earned by the orchestra and the festival. Other highlights include, among others, another special concert for South African pianist and composer Thomas Rajna (his 80th birthday is this year), an African première performance of Schnittke's Concerto Grosso for Flute and Oboe by the sensational Sharon Bezaly (flute) and Christopher Cowie (oboe) under the CPO's principal guest conductor Owain Arwel Hughes. This work will also be recorded by BIS during the festival. Other special highlights will be the performances by the Choir Of The Holy Trinity, St Sergius Lavra, Moscow and the "New European Strings" Chamber Orchestra.  There are also two performances by the CPO of Beethoven's Missa Solemnis with the New Apostolic Church Choir and soloists under Owain Arwel Hughes, a recital by the ever-popular Olga Kern together with CPO soloists, and performances by many other exceptional local and international soloists - including two very exciting young South African pianists (Ben Schoeman and Jan Hugo). Booking for the Festival starts on 7 July.

Oprah koop woonstel in Kaapstad vir R103 miljoen!

June 18, 2008 by marinda

Gerugte doen die ronde dat die Amerikaanse kletskoningin Oprah Winfrey R103 miljoen betaal het vir 'n dakwoonstel in Sol Kerzner se nuwe ontwikkeling by die V&A Waterfront.
Dit volg nadat 'n Londense sakeman R110 miljoen vir syne betaal het.
Wonder of Oprah bewus is van die nuwe onteieningswetgewing wat einde vandeesmaand deur die parlement gestoot gaan word. Daarvolgens kan selfs 'n dorp se burgemeester besluit watter eiendom in openbare belang onteien moet word, jy kan nie op 'n markverwante prys aandring nie, en die minister kan besluit in watter vorm en wanneer jy betaal gaan word.
Dit is ongelooflik scary en voorspel niks goeds vir ons land nie.
Hallo, Zim, here we come?
