FAREWELL TO…
Clifford Bartlett Born 1939 Music editor and publisher If you needed a piece of early music to perform in concert in the 1980s and ’90s, chances are you turned to Clifford Bartlett. Through his King’s Music publishing business, he turned deep knowledge into an indispensable service for musicians all over the world. Digging out scores by the likes of Handel and Monteverdi, he would faithfully prepare fully performable versions for modern-day players – his edition of Handel’s Messiah, for instance, is still used widely today. In 2009, he was forced to declare bankruptcy after becoming victim to a major fraud scheme.
Roger Boutry Born 1932 Composer, conductor and pianist A multi-talented musician, Roger Boutry won the Prix de Rome for composing in 1954 – just one of many awards bestowed during his studies at the Paris Conservatoire. His star rose further in 1958 when he was a finalist in that year’s International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow; however, before he could embark on an international piano concert tour, he had to complete his military service. Beginning his conducting career with the Opéra de la Monte-carlo Orchestre, he would go on to serve as music director of the Orchestre de la Garde Républicaine from 1973-97. Boutry worked at the Paris Conservatoire from 1962-97.
Jonathan Goldstein Born 1968 Composer Goldstein’s early career found him creating music for the Royal Shakespeare Company and National Theatre, working with Peter
Hall and Trevor Nunn. It was on screen, though, where he established himself and he became a much-sought-after composer for cinema and television ad campaigns. Awards followed and he set up a successful music production agency in Soho, which has enjoyed working relationships with high-profile brands such as Gillette, Volvo and Sky. It was his music for the broadcaster’s Christmas 2013 advert, ‘Magical Moments’, which saw him at No. 1 in the classical chart for three weeks. Hannah Marcinowicz (Goldstein) Born 1983
Saxophonist A tenacious and vivacious performer, Marcinowicz worked with the UK’S leading orchestras, played twice at the BBC Proms and commissioned new works for the saxophone. The commissions formed part of her successful ‘Screen and Sax’ concerts, which began life at the Equator Festival’s ‘Women of the World’ series in 2015. Her natural talent on the recorder and piano when growing up in Watford saw her receive a scholarship to the Purcell School. Then followed a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music, where she studied clarinet and saxophone. Continuing studies in Paris led to her being twice awarded the Medaille d’or.
