PROGRAM NOTES BY DR. RICHARD E. RODDA

FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN

Symphony No. 68 in B-flat major (1778)

Since Haydn’s name is so closely associated with the genres of instrumental music, it is perhaps surprising to learn that in the year he apparently wrote this Symphony — 1778 — he was one of the busiest opera producers in Europe. As part of his duties at the Esterházy Palace, he was not only responsible for the regular Tuesday and Saturday orchestral concerts (for which this work was written), but he was also in charge of the opera and marionette theaters. He composed music for each of these functions, organized the repertory and performers, oversaw the music library and instrument collections, and conducted the performances. To say that he was busy is to seriously understate his situation. On March 10, 1778, the Pauli Company, a group of itinerant players, took up residence at the palace to present plays for the noble audience (for which Haydn also provided incidental music). From the date of the troupe’s arrival until three days before Christmas, there was a German play, an Italian opera or a German marionette opera at the Palace every night except Easter or when the Prince was not in residence. In 1786, Haydn conducted 125 performances of seventeen operas, eight of them premieres. So great was the Prince’s love of opera that, when fire gutted the opera house on November 18, 1779, he had the ground cleared and a new corner stone laid within a month. While construction went forward on the new building — grander, of course, than the original — the entire company was moved into the closer confines of the marionette theater, whose stage was specially renovated to accommodate the full-size singers.

All of this operatic activity meant that Haydn had less time to devote to the symphonic form than in previous years. The symphonies of the decade following 1774 show little of the incipient Romantic spirit of the works of the preceding “Sturm und Drang” (“Storm and Stress”) period, with their minor keys and compressed emotionalism. Many of the post-1774 symphonies were written in a deliberately unaffected, popular style. Those were the years of Haydn’s growing European notoriety, and such a work as this Symphony No. 68 seems to have been written with a more general audience in mind than the group of devoted connoisseurs at Esterházy Palace. The late Haydn authority H.C. Robbins Landon had some disparaging things to say about the “great master sacrificing his art for the sake of public acclaim,” but the true measure of this Symphony is not that it fails to scale the peaks of the Paris or London sets, but that it shows such craftsmanship, style and wit at a time when Haydn was busier than at any other in his life.

The opening movement is a compact, almost nonchalant, sonataallegro. The main theme is trotted out by violins in thirds before the double reeds have their chance with it. The second theme, full of little graces, appears over pizzicato basses and a ticking accompaniment in second violins and violas. A brief and uneventful development utilizes both themes. The recapitulation recalls the first theme (with oboes

doubling the violins), after which the remainder of the movement proceeds apace, ending without deliberation.

For reasons of structural balance, the minuet is placed second rather than third in this Symphony. It is a straightforward demonstration of this hardy dance species, with its main point of interest being some surprising but rather contrived dynamics sprinkled upon the central trio. The following Adagio is a sprawling sonata form whose incessant accompanimental rhythms look forward to the great Symphony No. 101 (“The Clock”) of 1794. The finale is one of Haydn’s rollicking hybrids: part rondo, part variations. The rondo theme, a chunky, little, no-nonsense ditty, is tossed off without introduction by the full orchestra. This same theme then serves as the basis for some resourceful elaborations. First the bassoons have a go at it. After another traversal of the rondo theme, the oboes get their turn. Further displays of the rondo theme and more of its variations lead to a disintegrating phrase which is followed by a curious section marked “Echo Solo” in the score. In these measures, various of the orchestral instruments quietly bandy about a thematic fragment before the entire ensemble joins in for the final sprint to the finish.

MASON BATES, PSO Composer of the Year Violin Concerto (2012)

Mason Bates brings not only his own fresh talent to the concert hall but also the musical sensibilities of a new generation — he is equally at home composing “for Lincoln Center,” according to his website (www.masonbates.com), as being the “electronica artist Masonic® who moved to the San Francisco Bay Area from New York City, where he was a lounge DJ at such venues as The Frying Pan — the floating rave ship docked off the pier near West 22nd Street.”

Bates was born in Philadelphia in 1977 and started studying piano with Hope Armstrong Erb at his childhood home in Richmond, Virginia. He earned degrees in both English literature and music composition in the joint program of Columbia University and the Juilliard School, where his composition teachers included John Corigliano, David Del Tredici and Samuel Adler, and received his doctorate in composition from the University of California, Berkeley in 2008 as a student of Edmund Campion and Jorge Lidermann. Bates was Resident Composer with the California Symphony from 2008 to 2011, Project San Francisco Artist-inResidence with the San Francisco Symphony in 2011-2012, and began a continuing residency with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in September 2010; he is Composer of the Year with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra in 2012-2013.

Bates’ rapidly accumulating portfolio of orchestral, chamber, vocal, theatrical and electronic compositions includes commissions and performances by the major orchestras of London, Lisbon, New York,

Washington, Atlanta, Toronto, Phoenix, San Francisco, Oakland, Annapolis, Los Angeles, Miami and Detroit, the Tanglewood, Aspen, Cabrillo and Spoleto USA festivals, Biava Quartet, Chanticleer and New Juilliard Ensemble. In 2010, Bates was commissioned to write Mothership for the second concert of the YouTube Symphony Orchestra, an ensemble composed of musicians from around the world who were selected through on-line auditions by Michael Tilson Thomas, the project’s director and conductor, and assembled in Sydney, Australia for rehearsals and a live concert on March 20, 2011 streamed on the Internet; the first YouTube Symphony Orchestra concert was held in New York in 2009. Bates’ many honors include a Charles Ives Scholarship and Fellowship from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, Guggenheim Fellowship, Jacob Druckman Memorial Prize from the Aspen Music Festival, ASCAP and BMI awards, a Fellowship from the Tanglewood Music Center, Rome Prize, Berlin Prize, 2012 Heinz Award for Arts and Humanities, and a two-year Composer Residency with Young Concert Artists.

Bates is also an ardent and effective advocate for bringing new music to new spaces, “whether,” he explained, “through institutional partnerships such as the residency with the Chicago Symphony’s MusicNOWseries, or through the project Mercury Soul, which has transformed spaces ranging from commercial clubs to Frank Gehry-designed concert halls into exciting, hybrid musical events drawing over a thousand people. Mercury Soul, a collaboration with director Anne Patterson and conductor Benjamin Schwartz, embeds sets of classical music into an evening of DJing and beautiful, surreal visuals.”

Mason Bates wrote of his Concerto for Violin and Orchestra, commissioned in 2012 by Anne Akiko Meyers with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, “Composers paint with sound, and my sonic palette has been growing rapidly in large-scale symphonies fusing orchestral and electronic sounds. But the pops, clicks and thuds of techno present challenges in a violin concerto: the subtle textures of this eighteen-inch instrument would be quickly painted over by the powerful colors of such a big palette. So, in order to fully showcase the violin, I stepped back into the acoustic universe — but with my ears still humming with exotic sounds.

“The search for novel sounds pushed me, surprisingly, into primeval territory, resulting in a concerto filled with ancient animals. First and foremost is the solo violinist, who inhabits two identities: one primal and rhythmic, the other elegant and lyrical. This hybrid musical creature is, in fact, based on a real one. The Archeopteryx, an animal of the Upper Jurassic famously known as the first dinosaur/bird hybrid, can be heard in the sometimes frenetic, sometimes sweetly singing solo part. The searching melody that underlies the entire work, not heard in full until we are well into the first movement, has in fact been peering at us from behind the orchestral fauna all along.

“Unfolding continuously out of the explosive first movement, the middle movement (Lakebed Memories) explores this melody dreamily, conjuring the lakebed in southern Germany where the archaeopteryx fossil was discovered. Eerie, hazy sonorities give way to a kind of underwater epiphany, pushing us airborne into the finale. In this last movement (The Rise of Birds), the soloist stays aloft on a jetstream of notes, inspired equally by Bach inventions and sparkling electronica. The work’s final measures transform the soloist fully from dinosaur into bird, with the melody floating high above an orchestra of fluttering textures.

“Many thanks to Anne Akiko Meyers, whose fiery and soulful playing inspired every note of this piece, and to my dear friend Leonard Slatkin.”

The residency of PSO Composer of the Year Mason Bates, is made possible through Music Alive, a residency program of the League of American Orchestras and New Music USA. This national program is designed to provide orchestras with resources and tools to support their presentation of new music to the public and build support for new music within their institutions. Funding for Music Alive is provided by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, The Aaron Copeland Fund for Music, and The ASCAP Foundation.

Symphony No. 3 in C minor, Opus 78, “Organ”

(1886)

“There goes the French Beethoven,” declared Charles Gounod to a friend as he pointed out Camille Saint-Saëns at the Paris premiere of the “Organ” Symphony. This was high praise, indeed, and not without foundation. Though the depths of feeling that Beethoven plumbed were never accessible to SaintSaëns, both musicians largely devoted their lives to the great abstract forms of instrumental music — symphony, concerto, sonata — that are the most difficult to compose and the most rewarding to accomplish. This was no mean feat for Saint-Saëns.

The Paris in which Saint-Saëns grew up, studied and lived was enamored of the vacuous stage works of Meyerbeer, Offenbach and a host of lesser lights in which little attention was given to artistic merit, only to convention and entertainment. Berlioz tried to break this stranglehold of mediocrity, and he earned for himself a reputation as an eccentric, albeit a talented one, whose works were thought unperformable and probably best left to the pedantic Germans anyway. Saint-Saëns, with his love of Palestrina, Rameau, Beethoven, Liszt and, above all, Mozart, also determined not to be enticed into the Opéra Comique but to follow his calling toward a more noble art. To this end, he established with some like-minded colleagues the Société Nationale de Musique in 1871 to perform the serious concert works of French composers. The venture was a success, and it did much to give a renewed sense of artistic purpose to the best Gallic musicians.

Saint-Saëns produced a great deal of music to promote the ideals of the Société Nationale de Musique, including ten concertos and various smaller works for solo instruments and orchestra, four tone poems, two orchestral suites and five symphonies, the second and third of which were unpublished for decades and discounted in the usual numbering of these works. The last of the symphonies, No. 3 in C minor, is his masterwork in the genre. SaintSaëns placed much importance on this composition. He pondered it for a long time and realized it with great care, unusual for this artist, who said of himself that he composed music “as an apple tree produces apples,” that is, naturally and without visible effort. “I have given in this Symphony,” he confessed, “everything that I could give.”

Of the work’s construction, Saint-Saëns wrote, “This Symphony is divided into two parts, though it includes practically the traditional four movements. The first, checked in development, serves as an introduction to the Adagio. In the same manner, the scherzo is connected with the finale.” SaintSaëns clarified the division of the two parts by using the organ only in the second half of each: dark and rich in Part I, noble and uplifting in Part II. The entire work is unified by transformations of the main theme, heard in the strings at the beginning after a brief, mysterious introduction. In his “Organ” Symphony, Saint-Saëns combined the techniques of thematic transformation, elision of movements and richness of orchestration with a clarity of thought and grandeur of vision to create one of the masterpieces of French symphonic music.

He is the proud parent of a teenage son, Daniel. Slatkin last conducted the PSO in October 2012.

ANNE AKIKO MEYERS

Anne Akiko Meyers is one of the world’s premiere concert violinists. She regularly performs as featured soloist with orchestras around the world, including the Boston Symphony, London’s Philharmonia Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Orchestre de Paris, Minnesota Orchestra, Montreal Symphony, Moscow Philharmonic, New York Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Royal Philharmonic, Swedish Radio Orchestra, Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Tokyo’s NHK Symphony, Toronto Symphony, Vienna Symphony and the Warsaw Philharmonic.

In the 2012-2013 season, Meyers gives the world premiere of Mason Bates’ first violin concerto, which she will perform with Leonard Slatkin and the Pittsburgh Symphony and later in the season with Giancarlo Guerrero and the Nashville Symphony. She also performs Barber’s Violin Concerto with the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra at Carnegie Hall; with the New West Symphony as their season opening concert; and with the Phoenix Symphony, where she also performs the Bach Double Violin Concerto.

Other dates include the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto with Andrew Litton and the Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra; the Mozart Violin Concerto No. 3 (with special cadenzas written for her by Wynton Marsalis) with the Reno Philharmonic; the Asian American Chamber Music Society of Dallas, and a duo recital at the Constella Festival with pianist Wendy Chen. At the Montecito International Music Festival, she gave a masterclass and performed the Arensky Trio and Mendelssohn Octet in a special tribute to her teacher, Alice Schoenfeld.

In 2012, Meyers’ eagerly anticipated Bach Air album was released on eOne to critical acclaim. Featuring Bach’s solo violin concerti as well as the double concerto where Meyers played both solo parts on the 1697 ex-“Napoleon/Molitor” and the 1730 “Royal Spanish” Stradivari violins with the English Chamber Orchestra, Air was received with great popular and critical acclaim. Her other recent releases include Seasons...dreams, which included several world premieres, and

Smile, released in 2009. Both recordings topped the Billboard charts.

In recent seasons, Meyers has performed across North America, Europe, Korea, and Japan, working with the Saint Louis Symphony, Dusseldorf Symphoniker, Korean Broadcasting Symphony and the Tokyo Philharmonic and many other orchestras. She performed a special benefit recital for “Play For Japan” in San Francisco that was broadcast around the world on the Internet, and joined Ryuichi Sakamoto at New York’s Japan Society to raise funds for the Japan Earthquake Fund.

Over the years, Meyers has collaborated with pop singing sensation Il Divo, top jazz artists such as Chris Botti, and Wynton Marsalis, who composed cadenzas for her in Mozart’s G Major Violin Concerto. She performed the National Anthem to 42,000 fans at Safeco Field before the Mariners-Red Sox game in Seattle. Meyers has recorded extensively for labels including Avie, Camerata, eOne/Koch, Hyperion, Naxos, RCA Victor Red Seal, RPO, Sony and Warner Classics. Her catalogue of Red Seal Masterworks was re-released on iTunes last season. Other notable recordings include the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto with Andrew Litton and the Philharmonia Orchestra, the Prokofiev Concertos with the Radio-Sinfonie-Orchester Frankfurt, Somei Satoh’s “Kisetsu” and the Joseph Schwantner “Angelfire” fantasy for amplified violin and orchestra, both written for, and premiered by, Meyers.

A passionate advocate of expanding the repertoire, Ms. Meyers has regularly performed and commissioned new compositions, premiering works by composers such as David Baker, Mason Bates, Jakub Ciupinski, John Corigliano, Roddy Ellias, Karl Amadeus Hartmann, Jennifer Higdon, Wynton Marsalis, Olivier Messiaen, Akira Miyoshi, Arvo Part, Manuel Ponce, Gene Pritsker, Somei Satoh and Joseph Schwantner.

Meyers’ television credits include a feature on MSNBC’s Countdown with Keith Olbermann, a segment that was so popular it was named the Number 3 story of 2010. An A&E Network telecast from the Casals Festival with the Montreal Symphony, a PBS broadcast with the Boston Pops Orchestra and John Wil-

liams and her appearances on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and the Emmy Award Show attracted national attention. She was featured in a performance with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Holland that drew an audience of 10,000 and was globally broadcast live on the Internet. Meyers also performed in front of 750,000 people in Sydney, Australia’s Harbour, celebrating their 200th Bicentennial, and has performed for dignitaries including the Emperor and Empress of Japan. She has been featured in numerous print and

television commercials including Anne Klein’s “Women of Substance” fashion campaign that appeared in magazines around the world, and was photographed by Annie Leibovitz and recently starred in ads for Tourneau. Meyers performs on the “Ex-Napoleon/ Molitor” Stradivarius violin from 1697 and the “Royal Spanish” Stradivarius violin dated 1730.

These performances mark Meyers’ debut with the PSO.

PROGRAM NOTES BY DR. RICHARD E. RODDA

GEORGE WALKER

Sinfonia No. 4, “Strands” (2011)

George Walker, born in Washington, DC in 1922, began the study of piano at age five. George started formal piano lessons soon thereafter and gave his first public recital at Howard University when he was fourteen. As precocious in academics as he was in music, he graduated from the competitive Dunbar High School that same year and then attended Oberlin College in Ohio on a full scholarship; he graduated at age eighteen with highest honors in his class. Advanced study of piano (with Rudolf Serkin), orchestration (Gian Carlo Menotti), chamber music (William Primrose and Gregor Piatigorsky) and composition (Rosario Scalero) at the renowned Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia followed; in 1945, he became the school’s first black graduate to receive Artist Diplomas in both piano and composition. Later that year Walker made his New York Town Hall debut and appeared as soloist in Rachmaninoff’s Third Piano Concerto with Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra (his prize for winning the Philadelphia Youth Auditions), both again firsts for a black instrumentalist. Further piano study in France in 1947 helped prepare him for several years as a touring virtuoso in Europe and America. Walker taught at Dillard University in New Orleans in 1954-1955 before completing his doctoral degree after just one year at the Eastman School in Rochester; the Piano Sonata No. 2 of 1956 was his dissertation. Following his graduation, Walker returned to France for two years on a Fulbright Fellowship and a John Hay Whitney Fellowship to study composition with Nadia Boulanger. After again concertizing successfully in Europe, he returned to America and thereafter taught at the Dalcroze School of Music and New School for Social Research in New York City (1960-1961), Smith College (1961-1968, where he became the first black tenured faculty member), University of Colorado (1968-1969), Rutgers University (1969-1992, where he chaired the Music Department), Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins University (1975-1978) and University of Delaware (1975-1976, where he was the recipient of the first Minority Chair established by the University).

Among Walker’s many honors are the 1996 Pulitzer Prize in Music (for his Lilacs for Voice and Orchestra), induction into the American Classical music Hall of Fame, honorary doctorates from Lafayette College, Oberlin College, Montclair State University, Bloomfield College, Curtis Institute of Music, Spelman College and the Eastman School, grants and fellowships from the Guggenheim, Rockefeller, Koussevitzky, Fromm and MacDowell foundations, membership in the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters, and commissions from the National Endowment for the Arts, Library of Congress, Cleveland Orchestra, New York Philharmonic, Boston Symphony, Kennedy Center and other leading ensembles and institutions. George Walker’s compositions, which have been performed by every major orchestra in the United States and by many in Europe, South America and Canada as well (his Lyric for

Strings is the most frequently performed work by a living American composer), include: a symphony; concert works for piano, trombone and cello; several independent orchestral scores; five sonatas for solo piano and one for two pianos; two string quartets; two violin sonatas; a Mass for soloists, chorus and orchestra; several songs and numerous other smaller works. His recent compositions include the Concerto for Violin and Orchestra (2007), Foils: Hommage à Saint George (2006) and Sinfonia No. 4 (“Strands,” 2011).

Walker’s Sinfonia No. 4 (“Strands”) was commissioned by the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, New Jersey Symphony Orchestra, Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and National Symphony Orchestra through the Meet The Composer’s Commissioning Music/USA program, which is made possible by generous support from the Mary Flagler Cary Charitable Trust, New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and Helen F. Whitaker Fund. Jacques Lacombe conducted the work’s first performance, with the NJSO, on March 30, 2012. Walker describes the Sinfonia as “complex, intense and compact. I wanted to compose a work that was more than an overture or extended fanfare. The subtitle ‘Strands’ refers to the intertwining of various melodic elements that are unrelated to each other. Two of those strands are the initial phrases of spirituals. The Sinfonia begins with an introduction that consists of several sections before the principal theme is stated. This theme recurs several times. The quotation of the first spiritual provides a pensive relief from the proclamatory nature of the theme that precedes it. The briefer snippet of the second spiritual is affirmative. The following section consists of a melodic bass line over which fragmented interjections are superimposed. A similar section recurs, combining with the opening phrase of the second spiritual played by the piano during the course of the work. The bass material appears briefly in the coda.”

ABOUT THE COMPOSER

Born 27 January 1756 in Salzburg; died 5 December 1791 in Vienna

PREMIERE OF WORK

Salzburg, December 1775

Salzburg Court Orchestra; Wolfgang Amadé Mozart, soloist

Concerto No. 5 in A major for Violin and Orchestra, K. 219, “Turkish” (1775)

Mozart’s five authentic Violin Concertos were all products of a single year — 1775. At nineteen he was already a veteran of five years experience as concertmaster of the archepiscopal court in Salzburg, for which his duties included not only playing, but also composing, acting as coconductor with the keyboard player (modern orchestral conducting was not to originate for at least two more decades) and soloing in concertos. It was for this last function that Mozart wrote these concertos. He was, of course, a quick study at everything that he did, and each of these works builds on the knowledge gained from its predecessors. It was with the last three (K. 216, 218, 219) that something more than simple experience emerged, however, because it was with these compositions that Mozart indisputably entered the era of his musical maturity. These are his earliest pieces now regularly heard in the concert hall, and the last one, No. 5 in A major, is the greatest of the set. A. Hyatt King wrote that this is not only

PROGRAM NOTES BY

DR. RICHARD E. RODDA

the best of Mozart’s concertos for violin, “but has no rival throughout the second half of the 18th century.”

The opening movement is in sonata-concerto form, but has some curious structural experiments more usually associated with the music of Haydn than with that of Mozart. After the initial presentation of the thematic material by the orchestra, the soloist is introduced with the surprising device of a brief, stately Adagio, a technique perhaps derived from the D major Clavier Concerto of C.P.E. Bach, Johann Sebastian’s musically adventurous Sonata No. 2. When the Allegro tempo resumes, the soloist plays not the main theme already announced by the ensemble, but a new lyrical melody for which the original main theme becomes the accompaniment. More new material fills the remainder of the exposition. The development section is invested with passages of dark harmonic color that cast expressive shadows across the generally sunny landscape of the movement, and lend it emotional weight. The recapitulation calls for restrained, elegant virtuosity from the soloist.

The second movement is a graceful song in sonatina form (sonataallegro without development). The final movement is an extended rondo in the style and rhythm of a minuet. It is from one of the episodes separating the returns of the theme that the work acquired its sobriquet, “Turkish.” This passage occurs before the theme is heard for the last time, and stands in surprising contrast to its elegant surroundings by changing its tempo, meter and mood to recreate a vivacious contradance in the style popular at the time in the dance halls of Vienna. A number of short tunes comprise this section. Most are, according to A. Hyatt King, derived from Hungarian folk music (known, vaguely, as “Turkish” in the 18th century), though one was part of a ballet titled Harem Jealousies that Mozart borrowed from his opera Lucio Silla of 1772. After the wonderful clangor of this episode, which even calls for the basses to strike their strings with the wood of the bow, the return of the minuet theme is guaranteed to bring a smile — as though the dancers had collapsed from exertion and had only enough strength left for something slow and easy. The end of the work is quiet, and wistful and unforgettable.

PYOTR ILYICH TCHAIKOVSKY

Symphony No. 1 in G minor, Opus 13, “Winter Dreams”

(1866; revised in 1874)

In 1859, Anton Rubinstein established the Russian Musical Society in St. Petersburg; a year later his brother Nikolai opened the Society’s branch in Moscow. Since one of the important aims of the Society was to encourage musical education in Russia, it instituted classes almost immediately in both cities. St. Petersburg was first to receive an imperial charter to open a conservatory and offer a formal curriculum of instruction, and Tchaikovsky, who had quit his job as a clerk in the Ministry of Justice to devote himself to music, was in the first class of students when the school was officially opened in 1862. By January 1866, he had completed his studies in theory and composition, principally with Rubinstein and Nikolai Zaremba, and was in need of a job. On the basis of his academic work, which included a cantata for the graduation examinations courageously based on the same “Ode to Joy” text by Schiller that Beethoven had set in his Ninth Symphony, Rubinstein recommended Tchaikovsky to Nikolai as a teacher for the music classes in Moscow. The official opening of the Moscow Conservatory was still some months off, so Nikolai was running the program from his own home and was able to pay his instructors only a pittance. Though reluctant to leave the rich cultural milieu of St. Petersburg for more provincial Moscow, Tchaikovsky accepted the much-needed position.

PROGRAM NOTES BY DR. RICHARD

E. RODDA

As soon as his St. Petersburg studies were completed in mid-January, Tchaikovsky departed for Moscow, where he was greeted at the train station like an old friend by Nikolai Rubinstein. Nikolai immediately took the young musician under his wing, lending him clothes (including a frock coat left behind by famed violinist-composer Henryk Wieniawski on a recent visit), introducing him to his wide circle of acquaintances, offering him a room in his home, and lavishing upon him every hospitality. (Rubinstein also included Tchaikovsky in his nightly rounds of tavernhopping, during which each impressed the other with his capacity for alcohol.) Nikolai encouraged Tchaikovsky to supplement his teaching duties by continuing his creative work, and the first project he suggested was a revision for full orchestra of the Overture in F major written at the end of the preceding year. Tchaikovsky had conducted the original chamber orchestra version of the work as a student in December, shortly before he left the St. Petersburg Conservatory. The success of the revised version when it was conducted in Moscow by Nikolai on March 4th (the first public performance of one of Tchaikovsky’s compositions) was such that he was motivated to begin writing a symphony that same month. Though working on such a large scale was a daunting challenge for the young composer, the new symphony was completed by November, and premiered by Nikolai in Moscow on February 15, 1868 “with great success,” reported the composer to his brother Anatoli. The work was inscribed “Winter Dreams.” The first two movements were called “Reveries of a Winter Journey” and “Land of Desolation, Land of Mists”; the

closing movements are without sobriquet. There is no specific program apparent in the music, though Tchaikovsky may have intended that this be his contribution to the many depictions of the harsh Russian winters that have always been popular subjects in that country’s literature and art.

The Symphony’s first movement opens as the flute and bassoon present the doleful main theme above the murmurings of the violins. The complementary melody, more lyrical in phrasing and brighter in mood, is sung initially by the clarinet. The development section, typically Tchaikovskian in many of its orchestral techniques, combines true motivic elaboration with a certain amount of boisterous, newly invented figuration. The recapitulation returns the themes of the beginning and ends with the hushed whispers of the first measures.

A chorale-like passage for strings opens and closes the second movement. Within this frame are set two folkish melodies: the first, a plaintive tune, intoned by the oboe, has hints of the Volga Boatmen; the other is a more flowing song given first by the flutes and violas. The nimble Scherzo, indebted to Mendelssohn for its effervescent writing, is based on a movement from Tchaikovsky’s Piano Sonata in C-sharp minor, composed in 1865; the lovely central trio is the first of the succession of great waltzes Tchaikovsky penned for orchestra. The finale is a gloriously noisy display of orchestral color and rhythmic energy. It begins with a slow introduction (“lugubrious,” notes the score) during which the violins present the Russian folk song “The Gardens Bloomed.” A vivacious main theme in fast tempo is hurled forth by the full orchestra before the folk song returns to serve as the second theme. Twice the tempo is increased in the closing pages so that the ending of the Symphony is filled with brilliant whirling vitality and bursting high spirits.

ARILD REMMEREIT

In September 2010, the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra appointed Arild Remmereit as its 11th Music Director, beginning in the 2011-2012 season. Remmereit’s predecessors include illustrious conductors such as Eugene Goosens, Erich Leinsdorf and David Zinman.

Over a five-month period in 2005, Norwegian conductor Arild Remmereit made five dramatic debuts with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, Baltimore Symphony, Milan’s Filarmonica della Scala, Munich Philharmonic and Vienna Symphony, quickly establishing himself as a major talent on the international scene.

The New York Times wrote of his Pittsburgh debut: “…he showed utter self-assurance, using clear and wide-ranging gestures, particularly in a breathtakingly dynamic reading of the Schumann [Symphony No. 4]… The only thing listeners seemed to want to talk about afterward was Remmereit. ‘Sensational’ was the word heard most frequently.”

The prestigious Wiener Zeitung hailed his performance of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3 with the Vienna Symphony as “the sensation of the evening. … The orchestra played with unequaled precision.”

Remmereit was immediately re-engaged in Pittsburgh, Vienna, Milan and Baltimore, and since then has conducted a number of other prominent orchestras around the world, including the Detroit Symphony, England’s Hallé Orchestra, the Orchestra del Maggio Musicale in Florence, the National Arts Centre Orchestra (Ottawa), the Dallas Symphony, the Cincinnati Symphony, the Bamberg Symphoniker, the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, the Seattle Symphony, the BBC Symphony Orchestra, the Tokyo Philharmonic and the Seoul Philharmonic, among many others. In 2005, he made an acclaimed debut at the Teatro alla Scala conducting Tchaikovsky’s opera Cherevichki

Highlights of the 2010-2011 season included performances of Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro at the Teatro Comunale di Firenze, return engagements with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, Detroit Symphony and Indianapolis Symphony, and a debut with the Rundfunk Sinfonieorchester Berlin, among others.

Born in Norway, Remmereit began piano lessons at the age of six, studied trumpet and performed as a boy soprano. In 1986, he graduated from the Norwegian Conservatory of Music, earning master’s degrees in voice, piano (jazz and classical) and composition. It was at a conducting seminar in 1985 at the Aspen Music Festival that he was inspired to change his focus. From 1987 to 1992, he studied conducting in Vienna under the direction of Prof. Karl Österreicher at the Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst, where he also participated in a master class with Zubin Mehta. Remmereit studied with Leonard Bernstein at the Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia in Rome, and assisted him in several recordings in Vienna between 1987 and 1990.

Remmereit and his wife currently live in Vienna. He last conducted the PSO on tour in July 2011.

GIL SHAHAM

Gil Shaham is one of the foremost violinists of our time, combining flawless technique with inimitable warmth and a generosity of spirit. He is sought after throughout the world for concerto appearances with leading orchestras and conductors, and he regularly gives recital and ensemble appearances on the great concert stages and at the most prestigious festivals.

In the 2011-2012 season, Shaham has continued his long-term exploration of “Violin Concertos of the 1930s,” which comprises performances at some of the most wellestablished concert venues with the world’s greatest orchestras. In January 2012, he began the year performing Barber’s Violin Concerto with the Hong Kong Philharmonic and Virginia Symphony. He tackled Prokofiev’s Second Violin Concerto in February with the New World Symphony and filled out the rest of the season giving performances of the Hartmann, Berg, and Stravinsky concertos with the orchestras of New York, London and Atlanta, respectively. In October, Shaham brought Brahms’s Violin Concerto to Carnegie Hall with Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, and later in the season has reprised the concerto with the orchestras of San Francisco, Boston and Delaware. This fall also saw Shaham exploring several of Bach’s sonatas and partitas for solo violin on a U.S. recital tour.

Shaham returned to the studio with his sister, pianist Orli Shaham, for a new recording, Hebrew Melodies, due out in January 2012 on his own label (Canary Classics). The repertoire features an exploration of both traditional and modern Jewish music, including the world-premiere recording of Israeli composer Avner Dorman’s new work “Niggunim,” a work praised by the New York Times for its “explosive energy.” This is not the first time Shaham has had the good fortune to enjoy musical collaborations with family members; previously he’s worked with wife Adele Anthony, sister Orli Shaham, and his brother-in-law, conductor David Robertson. On two occasions – first in 2007 and then again in 2009 – the violinist has succeeded in fulfilling his dream of bringing together family, friends, and colleagues for chamber mu-

sic; both tours of Brahms programs culminated in a series of three concerts at Carnegie’s Zankel Hall.

Last season, Shaham launched the “Violin Concertos of the 1930s” project with 34 live performances, including appearances with the Chicago Symphony, Orchestre de Paris, San Francisco Symphony, New York Philharmonic, and Philadelphia Orchestra. In September 2010, he was a special guest artist for the Chamber Music Society’s seasonopening concert at Lincoln Center along with his wife and fellow virtuoso Adele Anthony. Shaham appeared on PBS with Yo-Yo Ma, Emmanuel Ax, Alan Gilbert and the New York Philharmonic for Carnegie Hall’s 120th anniversary concert in May 2011, performing Beethoven’s Triple Concerto.

Shaham has more than two dozen concerto and solo CDs to his name, including bestsellers that have appeared on record charts in the US and abroad. These recordings have earned prestigious awards, including multiple Grammys, a Grand Prix du Disque, Diapason d’Or, and Gramophone Editor’s Choice. His recent recordings are produced on the Canary Classics label, which he founded in 2004. They comprise Haydn Violin Concertos and Mendelssohn’s Octet with Sejong Soloists; Sarasate: Virtuoso Violin Works with Adele Anthony, Akira Eguchi and Orquesta Sinfónica de Castilla y León; Elgar’s Violin Concerto with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and David Zinman; The Butterfly Lovers and Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto with the Singapore Symphony; Tchaikovsky’s Piano Trio in A with Yefim Bronfman and cellist Truls Mork; The Prokofiev Album and Mozart in Paris, both with Orli Shaham; and The Fauré Album with Akira Eguchi and cellist Brinton Smith.

Gil Shaham was born in ChampaignUrbana, Illinois, in 1971. He moved with his parents to Israel, where he began violin studies with Samuel Bernstein of the Rubin Academy of Music at the age of seven, receiving annual scholarships from the America-Israel Cultural Foundation. In 1981, while studying with Haim Taub in Jerusalem, he made debuts with the Jerusalem Symphony and the

Israel Philharmonic. That same year he began his studies with Dorothy DeLay and Jens Ellerman at Aspen. In 1982, after taking first prize in Israel’s Claremont Competition, he became a scholarship student at Juilliard, where he worked with DeLay and Hyo Kang. He also studied at Columbia University.

Shaham was awarded an Avery Fisher Career Grant in 1990, and in 2008 he re-

ceived the coveted Avery Fisher Award. He plays the 1699 “Countess Polignac” Stradivarius. Shaham lives in New York City with his wife, violinist Adele Anthony, and their two children.

Shaham last performed with the PSO in January 2010.

LEGACY OF EXCELLENCE

In addition to income from the Annual Fund, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra is dependent on a robust Endowment to assure its financial stability. Gifts from Legacy of Excellence programs are directed to the endowment to provide for the PSO’s future. The Steinberg Society honors donors who have advised the PSO in writing that they have made a provision for the orchestra through their estate plans. Members of the Sid Kaplan Tribute program have made a planned gift to the endowment of $10,000 or more to commemorate a particular person or event. Endowed naming opportunities for guest artists, musicians’ chairs, concert series, educational programs or designated spaces allow donors to specify a name or tribute for ten years, twenty years or in perpetuity. For additional information, please call Jan Fleisher at 412.392.3320.
