  • Taking Flight Beginning with a Tribute to Lindbergh, the St
    TAKING FLIGHT BEGINNING WITH A TRIBUTE TO LINDBERGH, THE ST. LOUIS SYMPHONY EXPRESSES THE SPIRIT OF ST. LOUIS. BY EDDIE SILVA DILIP VISHWANAT David Robertson Begin with a new beginning. The St. Louis Symphony’s 2016-17 season, its 137th, starts with the turn of a propeller, a steep rise into uncluttered skies, and a lonely, perilous journey that changed how people lived, thought, and dreamed. Charles Lindbergh’s silvery craft was christened The Spirit of St. Louis, and pilot and aircraft made their historic flight together across the Atlantic 90 years ago. The name “Spirit of St. Louis” also reflects upon the daring and innovation of a few St. Louisans early in the 20th century. It also speaks to St. Louis now, near the beginning of a new century amidst a whirlwind of innovation that turns more swiftly than a propeller. The St. Louis Symphony, Music Director David Robertson has remarked often, embodies that spirit: innovative, daring, risk-taking, enduring, agile, resourceful—give it an engine and a pair of wings and you’ll see Paris by morning. Kurt Weill’s The Flight of Lindbergh opens the 2016-17 season (September 16-17). Described as a “radio cantata,” it is one of the early collaborations between Weill and Bertolt Brecht, who created the classic The Threepenny Opera as well as other distinctive Brecht/Weill productions. KMOX’s Charlie Brennan provides the radio expertise as narrator of The Flight of Lindbergh. This 1929 work, written in the flush of inspiration that followed Lindbergh’s 6 Taking Flight achievement, will feel fresh, new, and innovative in 2016.

  • Zu Anderen Gipfeln
    Musikfreunde | Magazin der Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Wien Mai/Juni 2017 Zu anderen Gipfeln Lionel Bringuier Lionel Bringuier, 31, der nun mit den Wiener Symphonikern im Musikverein debütiert, wurde schon als 28-Jährger Chef des Tonhalle-Orchesters Zürich. Die Schweiz wird er bald hinter sich lassen. Sein Weg führt zu anderen Gipfeln. Es war ein Sieg der Jugend. Und ein Abschied von den alten, allerdings äußerst verdienten Männern. Zu Ende der Saison 2013/14 trat David Zinman als Chefdirigent des Tonhalle-Orchesters Zürich zurück; neunzehn Jahre lang hatte er das Orchester geleitet, geprägt, geformt. Mit ihm zusammen zogen sich Elmar Weingarten als Intendant des Orchesters sowie der Präsident der Trägergesellschaft zurück. Die Trias hatte Bedeutendes geleistet und war in Ehren ergraut. Darum war da und dort ein Seufzer der Erleichterung zu vernehmen; die Zeichen standen klar auf Generationenwechsel. Als Präsident gewonnen wurde ein mit allen Wassern gewaschener, bestens vernetzter Vollblutpolitiker aus der Stadt Zürich. Und für die Nachfolge in der Intendanz war Ilona Schmiel geholt worden, die in ihren neun Jahren beim Beethovenfest Bonn ebenfalls manches in Bewegung gesetzt hatte. Von Paris nach Los Angeles Schwieriger gestaltete sich die Wahl eines neuen Chefdirigenten. Das Orchester hatte nach Verjüngung auch auf dem Dirigentenpodium gerufen – was verständlich war, hatten dort doch neben Zinman Großmeister wie Bernard Haitink, Herbert Blomstedt oder Kurt Sanderling den Ton angegeben. Der Blick des Wahlgremiums fiel daher auf Andrís Nelsons, der sich jedoch lange zierte und dann in letzter Minute der Umarmung entzog. So war guter Rat teuer. Just in diesem Augenblick fiel der Name von Lionel Bringuier, dem 1986 geborenen Franzosen, der zur Gruppe jener sehr jungen Dirigenten gehört, die in unseren Tagen so viel Aufmerksamkeit auf sich zieht.

  • JS BACH (1685-1750): Violin and Oboe Concertos
    BACH 703 - J. S. BACH (1685-1750) : Violin and Oboe Concertos Johann Sebastian Bach was born on March 21 st , l685, the son of Johann Ambrosius, Court Trumpeter for the Duke of Eisenach and Director of the Musicians of the town of Eisenach in Thuringia. For many years, members of the Bach family throughout Thuringia had held positions such as organists, town instrumentalists, or Cantors, and the family name enjoyed a wide reputation for musical talent. By the year 1703, 18-year-old Johann Sebastian had taken up his first professional position: that of Organist at the small town of Arnstadt. Then, in 1706 he heard that the Organist to the town of Mülhausen had died. He applied for the post and was accepted on very favorable terms. However, a religious controversy arose in Mülhausen between the Orthodox Lutherans, who were lovers of music, and the Pietists, who were strict puritans and distrusted art. So it was that Bach again looked around for more promising possibilities. The Duke of Weimar offered him a post among his Court chamber musicians, and on June 25, 1708, Bach sent in his letter of resignation to the authorities at Mülhausen. The Weimar years were a happy and creative time for Bach…. until in 1717 a feud broke out between the Duke of Weimar at the 'Wilhelmsburg' household and his nephew Ernst August at the 'Rote Schloss’. Added to this, the incumbent Capellmeister died, and Bach was passed over for the post in favor of the late Capellmeister's mediocre son. Bach was bitterly disappointed, for he had lately been doing most of the Capellmeister's work, and had confidently expected to be given the post.

  • Mcallister Interview Transcription
    Interview with Timothy McAllister: Gershwin, Adams, and the Orchestral Saxophone with Lisa Keeney Extended Interview In September 2016, the University of Michigan’s University Symphony Orchestra (USO) performed a concert program with the works of two major American composers: John Adams and George Gershwin. The USO premiered both the new edition of Concerto in F and the Unabridged Edition of An American in Paris created by the UM Gershwin Initiative. This program also featured Adams’ The Chairman Dances and his Saxophone Concerto with soloist Timothy McAllister, for whom the concerto was written. This interview took place in August 2016 as a promotion for the concert and was published on the Gershwin Initiative’s YouTube channel with the help of Novus New Music, Inc. The following is a full transcription of the extended interview, now available on the Gershwin channel on YouTube. Dr. Timothy McAllister is the professor of saxophone at the University of Michigan. In addition to being the featured soloist of John Adams’ Saxophone Concerto, he has been a frequent guest with ensembles such as the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Lisa Keeney is a saxophonist and researcher; an alumna of the University of Michigan, she works as an editing assistant for the UM Gershwin Initiative and also independently researches Gershwin’s relationship with the saxophone.
