2302_OctCover.indd 1 PRICELESS Vol 23 No 2 2017-09-21 5:46 PM Volume 23 No 2 | October 2017 ON OUR COVER Since his unexpected death in 1983, the memory of composer Claude Vivier, and the haunting music that he created, has loomed large over the Canadian music scene. In a rare turn of events, this year in Toronto there will be four different presentations of his music. The players involved all insist it’s just a coincidence. FEATURES 18th Annual BLUE PAGES Alex Ivanovici in Claude Vivier's Musik für das Ende 7 OPENER | A is for Abecedarium | DAVID PERLMAN 8 ON OUR COVER | UNVANISHING: The Musical Life of Claude Vivier | SARA CONSTANT 10 QUESTIONS & ANSWERS | Pianist Benjamin Grosvenor | PAUL ENNIS OCTOBER 2017 CONCERT LISTINGS FEATURES | REVIEWS FEATURE Claude Vivier composer Q&A Benjamin Grosvenor pianist MAINLY CLUBS Artword Artbar But bottom line: by chance or otherwise, even three and a half decades after his death, something about Vivier’s work – and the world he drew from to create it – still sounds intimate, relevant, and intensely alive.
