Recitals with Commentary
Mark Salman is dedicated to the idea that
great art can communicate to any audience, no matter their
prior listening experience. It is just a matter of giving them
confidence in their own listening abilities, to validate their
own perceptions, that gives them the key to participate deeply
and fully in the art. Through his own commentary, Mr. Salman
illuminates his personal experience with the music, what draws
him to it and why it is important. He brings to life the
personality of the composer in a way that contemporary
audiences can personally relate to. He illustrates how the
composer's personality or events in his life directly
influenced the music being performed, giving the audience an
"in" to building their own relationship to the music,
to understanding the music through their own experiences and
spontaneous emotional reactions. Mr. Salman can also make clear
the technical details of a score to any type of audience, and
performances can be tailored to the requirements of any level
of audience musical experience and knowledge.
