Johann Matthias Sperger (1750-1812) was a name that was new to me He was a distinguished Austrian contrabass virtuoso and composer with a significant body of work to his name Born in Feldsburg in what was then Austria but is now Valtice in the Czech Republic his name may well originally have been Jan Matyáš Sperger He studied in Vienna and may have been a pupil of Albrechtsberger From 1777 he worked for the Archbishop of Pressburg (now Bratislava) He then went on extended concert tours that made him famous as a contrabass virtuoso and composer In 1789 the court of Archduke Friedrich Franz I in Ludwigslust (a Baroque palace some 40km south of Schwerin) appointed Sperger to the position of principal contrabass in the Mecklenburg-Schwerin Court orchestra Sperger produced some forty symphonies and numerous instrumental concertos There is a chance to hear one on 23 February at Kings Place when Leon Bosch directs The Hanover Band in the first modern performance of Sperger's Cello Concerto in C with soloist Sebastian Comberti in a programme that also includes Cimarosa's Oboe Concerto (with soloist Geoff Coates) and symphonies by Haydn and Mozart Full details from Kings Place website Join us at the Akustika Fair at the Nuremberg Exhibition Centre from April 4-6 Meet The Strad team at stand F08 and pick up a free copy of the magazine The Strad Directory Jobs Sperger Competition for Double Bass honoured its namesake writes jury member Jeff Bradetich Prize winners at the tenth international J.M Sperger Competition for Double Bass (from left to right): Igor Šajatović, Andreas Ehelebe Alexander Weiskopf and Yomoon YounPhoto: Wolfgang Krasa the Mecklenburg-Schwerin family envisioned the small north German town of Ludwigslust as a ‘Versailles of the north’ but the town’s castle and church (both used as venues for the biennial International J.M Sperger Competition for Double Bass) and the surrounding fountains and grounds reflect a proud history – one that was somewhat tarnished by the establishment nearby of a concentration camp towards the end of the Second World War Ludwigslust is the source of much vital history for the double bass one of the most significant bassists of the Classical period security and inspiration that allowed him to flourish In addition to his work in court orchestras and as a soloist he composed some 45 symphonies as well as numerous works for bass The Sperger competition and the work of its founder have helped to focus the spotlight on this composer’s music with at least two sonatas and one concerto having become mainstream repertoire for the bass Sperger’s greatest contribution to the profession is the collection of manuscripts he amassed throughout his life These were willed after his death to the state library in nearby Schwerin The majority of bass concertos written in the Classical period are preserved therein Dittersdorf (with cadenzas written by Sperger) and many others Access to the library was limited during the days of the Communist stronghold but with the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 came new opportunities to reclaim the past and share hidden treasures with the world Thanks to the incredible foresight of Sperger works that had long been forgotten have again come to attention Ludwigslust has honoured Sperger with a plaque on the wall of his former residence with a street and music school bearing his name and with a new life-size bronze statue which was unveiled at this year’s competition during a concert featuring a performance of Sperger’s Romance for solo bass and bass quartet by jury members Andreas Ehelebe performs for a packed crowd in the sweltering heatPhoto: Michaela Kober who endured temperatures of 35 degrees to witness the superb artistry of the finalists reflected the town’s love of music and its support for the competition – which this year took place from 22–29 July First prize of €8,500 and an all-expenses-paid trip to New York was won by Germany’s Andreas Ehelebe (b.1994) a student of Dorin Marc at the Hochschule für Musik in Nuremberg Second prize of €4,500 went to his compatriot Alexander Weiskopf (b.1995) of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra academy in Munich and the third prize of €2,500 went to South Korean Yomoon Youn (b.1994) A number of concert engagements throughout Germany are shared among the top three prizewinners The fourth prize of a two-year loan of a new Stefan Krattenmacher double bass was awarded to Igor Šajatović (b.1998) from Croatia the jury consisted of Christine Hoock – Sperger Society president and professor at the Mozarteum Salzburg; Hiroshi Ikematsu – principal bassist of the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra and professor at the Tokyo University of the Arts; Dan Styffe – principal of the Oslo Philharmonic and professor at the Norwegian Academy of Music composer and bassist; Gunars Upatnieks – Berlin Philharmonic bassist from Latvia; Christiane Hutcap – jury chair and professor of violin at the Rostock University of Music and Drama; and Dorin Marc The compulsory work for this year’s competition was Caprice a new piece specially written for the event by jury member Tabakov who also conducted the final-round concertos with orchestra providing him with a unique perspective for judgement Asked if his experience of the finals changed his view of the performers and their ranking he commented that there was a noticeable difference between the two rehearsals and the performance but that his final vote reflected his assessment of the first three rounds Jury member Hutcap was so taken by Caprice that she immediately started transcribing it for the violin it offered extreme technical and rhythmic challenges to the bass players which were amplified by the fact that they had only six weeks to learn it the supplemental prizes of bows and basses and the many performance engagements on offer this is a competition that should be coveted by all aspiring bassists A fast tempo marking in the many semiquaver passages took the player from the very lowest to the highest range of the instrument at great speed causing the composer to reflect that perhaps he had been a little ambitious in terms of tempo the complexity of the driving Bulgarian rhythms (one eight-bar phrase includes the time-signature progression 4/4 – 3/4 – 3/8 – 2/4 –5/8 – 7/8) caused problems for every candidate and the work still awaits a completely accurate performance 43 played with a German bow and only one came from across the Atlantic international sharing and acceptance of diverse playing methods The Sperger contest is designed to be embraced by the entire bass world and there was plenty of such playing on show here the future of bass playing is in excellent hands as solo playing continues to evolve towards greater artistry the third triennial Elmar Oliveira International Violin Competition continued to build on its credentials for developing outstanding young talent Andrew Mellor talks to the Danish Quartet as they embark on their 20th-anniversary season Tim Homfray attended the International Henryk Wieniawski Violin Competition in Poznań and discovered an impressive collection of competitors US correspondent Thomas May reviews Midori’s performance of the Brahms concerto with the Seattle Symphony under guest conductor Anja Bihlmaier on 23 January 2025 An all-American celebration of the concept of home Fine musicianship can’t quite overcome a flawed programme concept Site powered by Webvision Cloud the liberation of the Nazi work camp is often overlooked There is no mention of it in the division museum except a plaque given in thanks by one of the men rescued that day That's about to change in a new exhibit focusing on World War II universities and the Arts Council of Fayetteville/Cumberland County will host exhibits on the themes of tolerance and diversity visitors will have an opportunity to see photos normally stored in the archives a Nazi sub-camp used as a dumping ground for Russian prisoners of war and Jews who had survived other concentration camps It did not have gas chambers or crematoria - German soldiers planned to shoot the surviving inmates who did not succumb to starvation or cold and an 82nd lieutenant stumbled upon Wöbbelin by accident The Americans thought they had seen the worst of war but what they found at Wöbbelin appalled them They found bodies "stacked liked cordwood," one soldier said later Hundreds more were discovered in mass graves in the woods outside the camp It is estimated that 4,000 people were held prisoner at Wöbbelin just prior to its liberation The closest town was about four miles away but the residents of Ludwigslust denied any knowledge of the work camp The 82nd ordered residents to dig 200 graves in front of the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg Castle and mark each one with a cross The bodies lay in view as every town resident and the command staff of the 21st German Army filed by Philip Hannan and Henry Wall led a funeral for the victims Wood would later be recognized as the only World War II chaplain to parachute into combat four times Hannan would go on to become the leader of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New Orleans famous for delivering the eulogy at President John F Wood spoke directly to the people of the town "Within four miles of your comfortable homes 4,000 men were forced to live like animals deprived even of the food you would give to your dogs These 200 who lie before us in these graves were found piled four and five feet high in one building and lying with the sick and dying in other buildings Catholic and Jewish prayers will be said .. for these victims as we lay them to rest and commit them into the hands of our heavenly father in the hope that the world will not again be faced with such barbarity."

Nun ist es in Lüdersdorf bei Neukloster wieder aufgetaucht und konnte eingefangen werden. Der Eigentümer des Kängurus ist Jens Kohlhaus aus Sternberger Burg bei Sternberg (Landkreis Ludwigslust-Parchim). Er habe bereits mehrmals versucht, das Tier wieder einzufangen, was sich jedoch als schwierig erwies. Zuletzt wurde Skippy Ende März zwischen den Orten Sülten und Sagsdorf gesichtet. "Skippy" sei am Donnerstag von einem Mann in Lüdersdorf (Landkreis Nordwestmecklenburg) eingefangen worden, teilte die Polizei jetzt mit. Nun befindet sich das Känguru in der Pferdebucht des Mannes und der Eigentümer des Ausreißers ist informiert worden. Ob das Känguru schon an seinen Besitzer übergeben wurde und wo es sich in den mehr als sechs Monaten herumgetrieben hat, bleibt vorerst unklar. Notifications can be managed in browser preferences.
