Very few music lovers know about his atypical road to success. Margison reflects on the path he has travelled and the dreams he holds for a stellar future. CD contest: Win Richard Margison's recordings on CBC Records. Details on the Web. Deadline: March 7, 2002 Baritone Russell Braun is another fine Canadian singer on the rise. This month at the Opéra de Québec, he will take on Don Giovanni for the first time. He talks about the process that led to this new role. We publish the first prize essay (English paper) of our Student Writing Contest. "The Baffling Binary Gigue" explains the evolution of the baroque form and its different aspects. La cena musicale (The Musical Table) chose a simple recipe that never loses any of its appeal: Bizet's Omelette. Even the simplest concoction can find a musical match. Analekta, one of the few "independent" recording companies to stay afloat despite bad times, celebrates its 15th anniversary this month. We spoke to its founder and president, Mario Labbé. (in French only) Ever heard of Christoph Graupner? This prolific composer (almost 2000 works!) was a contemporary of Bach and a friend of Handel. Harpsichordist Geneviève Soly has rediscovered several of his forgotten works. New found love! (in French only) Valentine's Day is just around the corner. Your beloved finally popped the question? We offer a few guidelines to plan a classical wedding you will never forget. (in French only) Plus don't miss our calendar, concert suggestions and CD reviews! Have a great month!
