Bruckner, Rubber Chicken, and everything in between!

sinead — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 19:58:59 +0000

Sometimes in life, the sublime and the almost ridiculous merge into one surreal, but fulfilling whole! So it was that I found myself, at 9:30am, sitting in Media City discussing the phrase direction of the opening of Bruckner’s Sixth Symphony with the mercurial Juanjo Mena, before a BBC Philharmonic rehearsal (I was observing – not conducting!) What an orchestra they are, the perfection of the wind and brass intonation almost brought a tear to my eye, and the orchestra’s ability to turn a musical corner as one was just breathtaking. Mena has that thing, that indefinable something that makes this orchestra want to play for him, an elusive melding of charisma, musicianship, technique and unwavering self belief that every conductor hopes will surface at some point in their career (preferably early!). It was inspiring to watch the Mena/Phil partnership let the Bruckner breathe and come to life.

Fast forward a few hours to a primary school in Trafford where I was covering some large group beginner violin teaching. I must admit that when Gemma suggested I warm up with that classic of the canon, ‘Rubber Chicken’ I was a bit mystified. Some frantic internet searching, followed by a few test runs in my sitting room later, I felt confident enough to stand in front of eleven year 2/3 violinists, shake arms and legs 8,4,2 and 1 times, and triumphantly shout ‘RUBBER CHICKEN’ all in the name of music education. The youngsters joined in with gusto and, as a musical experience that gets the blood flowing, I have to say, it’s right up there with Bruckner 6!
