  The Classical Life - How to...

  ‘The Classical Life: How to Promote Yourself as a Young Performer’ is a selfhelp guide that consists of three parts, a Consulting Part, an Autobiographic Part and a Research Part. 
  In the Consulting Part I have shared insights about how to promote yourself as an aspiring performing artist so as to attract the support of record companies and concert agents and their management and marketing services. While there is no standard recipe for this to happen in your creative life, you can well prepare yourself in one or the other way so as to make it more likely to happen! 
  In the Autobiographic Part I have shared my own accidented music story, based on the insight that there is no exception from the rule that outstanding musical performers all come from intact and supportive homes. Having myself suffered from abuse in early childhood with no support for my talent, and no attention to my repeated requests for piano lessons, it is no wonder that I ended up becoming a lawyer, as this was what was expected from me, becoming a late starter at the piano at age 18. But the real breakthrough in nurturing my talent occurred only in my sixties, that is, quite recently, with extraordinary changes in my mind and body that led to a liberation from all technical handicaps and their psychological correlates. In one word, I was set free to experience the thrill of a learning process that others go through in childhood and youth. 
  In the Research Part I share the story about a letter I have written to Maestro Svjatoslav Richter back in 1982, and present my genius research on the late Russian pianist of world renown. I also analyze the pianistic genius of Claudio Arrau, who was via his teacher Martin Krause directly resourced with Franz Liszt’s revolutionary piano method, and compare the two pianists by analyzing their rendering of Franz Liszt’s B Minor Sonata and Schubert’s D958 Sonata.

  Thirteen leading actors take us behind the scenes, each recreating in detail a memorable performance in one of Shakespeare's major roles.
  
  - Brian Cox on Titus Andronicus in Deborah Warner's visceral RSC production
  - Judi Dench on being directed by Franco Zeffirelli as a twenty-three-year-old Juliet
  - Ralph Fiennes on Shakespeare's least sympathetic hero Coriolanus
  - Rebecca Hall on Rosalind in As You Like It, directed by her father, Sir Peter
  - Derek Jacobi on his hilariously poker-backed Malvolio for Michael Grandage
  - Jude Law on his Hamlet, a palpable hit in the West End and on Broadway
  - Adrian Lester on a modern-dress Henry V at the National, during the invasion of Iraq
  - Ian McKellen on his Macbeth, opposite Judi Dench in Trevor Nunn's RSC production
  - Helen Mirren on a role she was born for, and has played three times: Cleopatra
  - Tim Pigott-Smith on Leontes in Peter Hall's Restoration Winter's Tale at the National
  - Kevin Spacey on his high-tech, modern-dress Richard II
  - Patrick Stewart on Prospero in Rupert Goold's arctic Tempest for the RSC
  - Penelope Wilton on Isabella in Jonathan Miller's 'chamber' Measure for MeasureThe actors discuss their characters, working through the play scene by scene, with refreshing candour and in forensic detail. The result is a masterclass on playing each role, invaluable for other actors and directors, as well as students of Shakespeare - and fascinating for audiences of the plays.
  Together, the interviews give one of the most comprehensive pictures yet of these characters in performance, and of the choices that these great actors have made in bringing them thrillingly to life.
  Each interview is also available as an individual ebook as part of the Shakespeare on Stage series.
  'These passages of times remembered contribute vividly to the sense of a teemingly creative period when Shakespeare seemed to have been rediscovered.' Trevor Nunn, from his Foreword
  'absorbing and original... Curry's actors are often thinking and talking as that other professional performer, Shakespeare himself, might have done' TLS
