Henry Wood
ʻO kekahi o nā mea hoʻokani pila nui o ke kapikala ʻEnelani ʻo ia ka Promenade Concerts. I kēlā me kēia makahiki, he mau tausani o ka poʻe maʻamau - nā limahana, nā limahana, nā haumāna - kipa iā lākou, kūʻai aku i nā tiketi kūʻai ʻole a hoʻolohe i nā mele i hana ʻia e nā mea pena kiʻi maikaʻi loa. Mahalo nui ka poʻe hoʻolohe o nā ʻahamele i ke kanaka nāna i hoʻokumu a naʻau i kēia ʻoihana, ʻo ke alakaʻi ʻo Henry Wood.
Hoʻopili pili ʻia ke ola hoʻomohala holoʻokoʻa o Wood me nā hana hoʻonaʻauao. Hāʻawi ʻo ia iā ia iho i kona wā ʻōpio. Ma hope o kona puka ʻana mai ka Royal Academy of Music ma Lākana i ka makahiki 1888, ua hana ʻo Wood me nā ʻano opera a me nā symphony orchestras, i ulu nui ʻia me ka makemake e lawe mai i nā mele maikaʻi i kēlā poʻe i hiki ʻole ke kūʻai i nā tiketi pipiʻi no nā ʻaha mele a me nā hana. Ma muli o kēia manaʻo hanohano, ua hoʻonohonoho ʻo Wood i kāna "Promenade Concerts" i ka waena o 1890s. ʻAʻole i pōʻino kēia inoa - ʻo ia ka manaʻo maoli: "nā ʻaha mele." ʻO ka mea ʻoiaʻiʻo, no lākou ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia nā keʻena holoʻokoʻa o ka Hale Aliʻi Queens, kahi a lākou i hana mua ai, mai nā noho, a ua hiki i ke anaina ke hoʻolohe i ke mele me ka wehe ʻole ʻana i ko lākou ʻaʻahu, kū, a me ka hele wāwae ʻana inā makemake lākou. Eia naʻe, i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻohe mea e hele ana i ka wā o ka hana ma ka "Promenade Concerts" a ua noho aliʻi koke ka lewa o ke kiʻi maoli. I kēlā me kēia makahiki, hoʻomaka lākou e hōʻuluʻulu i ka lehulehu a ma hope "neʻe" i ka Albert Hall nui, kahi a lākou e hana nei i kēia lā.
Ua alakaʻi ʻo Henry Wood i ka Promenade Concerts a hiki i kona make ʻana - he hapalua haneli. I kēia manawa, ua hoʻolauna ʻo ia i nā Londoners i kahi nui o nā hana. Ua hōʻike nui ʻia nā mele o nā lāhui like ʻole ma nā papahana, me ka ʻōlelo Pelekane. ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻohe wahi o nā palapala symphonic i ʻōlelo ʻole ʻia e ke alakaʻi. A ua noho nā mele Lūkini i kahi kikowaena ma kāna mau ʻahamele. Aia i ka manawa mua - 1894/95 - Ua hoʻomaka ʻo Wood e hoʻolaha i ka hana a Tchaikovsky, a laila ua hoʻonui ʻia ka repertoire o ka "Promenade Concerts" me nā mele he nui e Glinka, Dargomyzhsky, Mussorgsky, Glazunov, Rimsky-Korsakov, Cui, Arensky , Serov. Ma hope o ka Great October Revolution, ua hana ʻo Wood i kēlā me kēia makahiki i nā mele hou a pau o Myaskovsky, Prokofiev, Shostakovich, Kabalevsky, Khachaturian, Gliere a me nā mea kākau Soviet ʻē aʻe. ʻOi aku ka nui o nā mele Lūkini a me Soviet i kani i ka "Promenade Concerts" i ka wā o ke Kaua Honua ʻElua. Ua hōʻike pinepine ʻo Wood i kona aloha no ka poʻe Soviet, ua kākoʻo i ka pilina ma waena o ka USSR a me ʻEnelani i ka hakakā ʻana i kahi ʻenemi maʻamau.
ʻAʻole i kaupalena ʻia ʻo Henry Wood i ke alakaʻi ʻana i nā Concerts Proms. ʻOiai i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ko mākou kenekulia, ua alakaʻi ʻo ia i nā pōʻai ʻē aʻe o nā ʻaha mele lehulehu, i kipa ʻia e Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, e noho ana ma ʻEnelani. "Ua hele mākou i kahi ʻaha mele maikaʻi no ka manawa mua i kēia hoʻoilo a ua hauʻoli nui mākou, ʻoi aku hoʻi me ka symphony hope a Tchaikovsky," i kākau ai ʻo ia ma kahi leka i kona makuahine i ka hoʻoilo o 1903.
ʻAʻole i alakaʻi mau ʻo Wood i nā ʻaha mele wale nō, akā i nā hana opera (ʻo ia hoʻi ka English premiere o "Eugene Onegin"), i mākaʻikaʻi ʻia ma ka hapa nui o nā ʻāina o ʻEulopa a me ʻAmelika, i hana pū me nā soloists maikaʻi loa ma ka honua. Mai ka makahiki 1923, ua aʻo ka mea pena kiʻi hanohano i ke alakaʻi ʻana ma ka Royal Academy of Music. Eia kekahi, ʻo Wood ka mea kākau o nā hana mele a me nā puke e pili ana i ke mele; Ua kau inoa ʻo ia i ka mea hope me kahi pseudonym leo Lūkini "P. Klenovsky. No ka noʻonoʻo ʻana i ka laula o nā lewa o ka mea pena a me ka liʻiliʻi o ka ikaika o kāna talena, ua lawa ia e hoʻolohe i nā leo hoʻopaʻa ola a Wood. E lohe mākou, no ka laʻana, nā hana maikaʻi loa o Mozart's Don Giovanni overture, Dvorak's Slavic Dances, Mendelssohn's miniatures, Bach's Brandenburg Concertos a me kahi pūʻali o nā mele ʻē aʻe.
