Just then the maestros assistant quit. Mr. Abbado invited Ms. Manson to be his new assistant, which involved helping him prepare performances at the opera house, including a production of Boris Godunov. When the Vienna Philharmonic performed this Mussorgsky opera at Salzburg, Mr. Abbado could not conduct one of the performances. At his suggestion, Ms. Manson was hired.</p> <p>- 1988 to 1996: Conductor of the London Mecklenburgh Opera, exploring the composers of the Eastern Bloc. She inaugurated the Mecklenburgh Opera with a production of a neglected work, Der Kaiser von Atlantis, by the German-Czech composer Viktor Ullmann, who was killed at Auschwitz in 1944. To raise funds for the production, she turned to prominent cultural figures in London who had roots in Eastern Europe: the conductor Georg Solti and the playwright Tom Stoppard. The success of this production earned the Mecklenburgh Opera regular support from the government arts council.</p>

Ludwig Semerjian, piano forte @ Atma Classique
<p>- Favorite composers: Mozart, Chopin</p> <p>- Favorite music pieces: Mozart piano concerto no. 22 in E flat K.482, Mozart piano sonata no. 13 in B flat major K.333, Chopin Ballade no.4 in F minor Op. 52.</p> <p>- Equally at home on the 18th-century fortepiano as he is on the modern concert piano, Canadian pianist Ludwig Sémerjian holds a special place on today's music scene. His sensitive and original interpretations regularly garner praise from critics, while audiences are delighted by his dazzling virtuosity, unusual grace and poetic temperament. After graduating from McGill University in Montreal, Ludwig Sémerjian began to take an interest in historic pianos from the 18th and 19th centuries. The enormous success achieved on these instruments led him to collaborate with such eminent early music specialists as Nicholas McGegan, Jaap Shröder, Paul Badura-Skoda and Andreas Staier. This marriage of the old and the new has produced a peerless artist in Ludwig Sémerjian who continues to capture the imagination of critics and audiences alike. Sémerjian has performed in Europe and North America as a recitalist, soloist with orchestra and chamber musician, playing on both ancient and modern instruments. Recent concerts by Ludwig Sémerjian include a North American tour as a soloist with the Concerto Köln as well as appearances on some of the most prestigious stages in the world, including the Library of Congress in Washington, Studio Glenn Gould in Toronto, the Accademia Bartolomeo Cristofori in Florence and the Beethoven-Haus Kammermusiksaal in Bonn where it was praised by German critics. Ludwig Sémerjian's recordings can be found on the Atma Classique label, with which he completed recording all of Mozart's sonatas on pianos from the 18th and 19th century.</p> <p>- His mother liked to play Chopin prelude Op. 28 no. 15 'Raindrop'.</p>
