Colin Davis
I Kepakemapa 1967, ua koho ʻia ʻo Colin Davies i alakaʻi alakaʻi nui o ka BBC Orchestra, no laila ua lilo ʻo ia i alakaʻi ʻōpio ʻoi loa o kekahi o nā orkestra Pelekane maikaʻi loa i kona mōʻaukala - mai ka makahiki 1930. Akā naʻe, ʻaʻole kēia i kāhāhā i kekahi, no ka mea, ua lanakila ka mea pena kiʻi. he kaulana kaulana, a ua mahaloia ma na aina e ma Enelani.
Akā naʻe, ʻaʻole maʻalahi nā ʻanuʻu mua a Davis i ke kahua o ke alakaʻi. I kona wā ʻōpiopio, ua aʻo ʻo ia i ka Clarmette ma ke Royal College of Music ma Lākana, a ma hope o kona puka ʻana ua hoʻokani ʻo ia i kekahi mau orkestra no ʻehā makahiki.
Ua lawe mua ʻo Davies i ka baton ma 1949, e alakaʻi ana i ka mea hoʻokani Kalmar Orchestra hou, a i ka makahiki aʻe ua lilo ʻo ia i poʻo o kahi hui liʻiliʻi, ʻo Chelsea Opera Group. Akā he mau mahina wale nō ka lōʻihi, a ʻo Davis, ka mea i haʻalele i ka ʻoihana clarinetist, ʻaʻohe hana no ka manawa lōʻihi. I kekahi manawa, loaʻa iā ia ka manawa e alakaʻi ai i nā papa mele ʻoihana a me nā mea hoʻokani pila. I ka hopena, ua kono ka BBC iā ia i ke alakaʻi alakaʻi o kā lākou Scottish Orchestra ma Glasgow. A ma hope koke iho, ua hoʻomaka ʻo ia i kāna hana mua ma Lākana me kahi ʻahamele ma ka pōʻai "Young Conductors", a ua ʻike ka nūpepa ʻo Evening News "ke kālena alakaʻi koʻikoʻi o kēia clarinetist." I ka manawa like, ua loaʻa iā Davis ka manawa e pani ai i ka Klemperer maʻi a alakaʻi i kahi hana ʻahamele a Don Juan ma ka Royal Festival Hall, a laila hoʻokani ma kahi o Thomas Beecham a paʻa i nā hana ʻewalu o The Magic Flute ma Glyndebourne. I ka makahiki 1958 ua lilo ʻo ia i alakaʻi alakaʻi o ka hui ʻo Sadler's Wells, a i ka makahiki 1960 ua lilo ʻo ia i alakaʻi alakaʻi nui o ka hale keaka.
I nā makahiki ma hope mai, ua ulu wikiwiki ka kaulana o Davis. Hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma nā moʻolelo, lekiō a me ke kīwī, nā ʻaha mele a me nā hana hoʻokani e hahai ana kekahi ma hope o kekahi. Ua huakaʻi ʻo Davis i ka hapa nui o nā ʻāina ʻEulopa; i ka makahiki 1961 ua lanakila 'o ia ma ka USSR.
ʻO kāna mau papahana ʻo Berlioz's Fantastic Symphony, Britten's Funeral and Triumphal Symphony, Tippett's Concerto for Double String Orchestra, Stravinsky's Symphony in Three Movements, a me kekahi mau mele ʻē aʻe. Ua aloha koke ka lehulehu Soviet i ka mea pena kiʻi.
Manaʻo ʻo K. Davis iā ia iho he mea hoʻokani pila, a laila he alakaʻi. No laila ke aloha o kāna repertoire. "Aloha like au i ka opera a me ke kahua ʻaha mele," wahi āna. "Ma hope o nā mea a pau, no ka mea hoʻokani pila, he mea nui ka nīnau o ka maikaʻi o ke mele, ʻaʻole i kona ʻano." ʻO ia ke kumu e ʻike pinepine ʻia ai ka inoa ʻo Colin Davis ma ka ʻaha mele a me ka hale kiʻiʻoniʻoni: alakaʻi mau ʻo ia i nā hana ma Covent Garden, hāʻawi nui i nā ʻaha mele, e hāpai ana i nā mele hou o nā haku mele Pelekane - Britten, Tippett. ʻO nā hana a Stravinsky kahi kokoke iā ia, a ʻo nā papa mele, alakaʻi pinepine ʻo ia iā Mozart.
