Seiji Ozawa Seiji Ozawa became Music Director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra in the fall of 1973. He is the thirteenth conductor of the Orchestra since its founding in 1881. He was born in Hoten, Manchuria in 1935, and studied both Western and Oriental music as a child. He attended Toho School of Music in Tokyo and graduated with first prizes in composition and conducting. Shortly after his graduation, he won first prize at the International Competition of Conducting at Besan^on, France, and was invited by Charles Munch, then Music Director of the Boston Symphony and a judge at the competition, to spend a summer studying at Tanglewood. In 1964 and for the next five seasons, Mr. Ozawa was Music Director of the Ravinia Festival. At the beginning of the 1965-66 season he became Music Director of the Toronto Symphony, a position he relinquished four seasons later to study and guest conduct. In 1970 he accepted the position of Artistic Director of the Berkshire Music Festival, and in December of the same year he began his inaugural season as Conductor and Music Director of the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, titles that he held concurrently with his position as Music Director of the Boston Symphony. In the spring of 1976 he resigned his San Francisco position although he remained Honorary Conductor for the 1976-77 season. Mr. Ozawa's recordings include: on the Deutsche Grammophon label, Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique, La damnation de Faust, Romeo et Juliette (which was awarded a Grand Prix du Disque), Ives's Symphony No. 4 and Central Park in the Dark, and De Falla's Three-cornered Hat, and, on the New World Records label, Griffes's Songs of Fiona McLeod.

  • Two Letters by Anton Bruckner
    Two Letters by Anton Bruckner Jürgen Thym Bruckner ALS, 13.XI.1883 Lieber Freund! Auf Gerathewohl schreibe ich; denn Ihr Brief ist versteckt. Weiß weder Ihre Adresse noch sonstigen Charakter von Ihnen. Danke sehr für Ihr liebes Schreiben. Omnes amici mei dereliquerunt me! In diesen Worten haben Sie die ganze Situation. Hans Richter nennt mich jetzt musik [alischen] Narren weil ich zu wenig kürzen wollte; (wie er sagt;) führt natürlich gar nichts auf; ich stehe gegenwärtig ganz allein da. Wünsche, daß es Ihnen besser ergehen möge, und Sie bald oben hinauf kommen mögen! Dann werden Sie gewiß meiner nicht vergessen. Glück auf! Ihr A. Bruckner Wien, 13. Nov. 1883 Dear Friend: I take the risk or writing to you, even though I cannot find your letter and know neither your address nor title. Thank you very much for your nice letter. All my friends have abandoned me! These words tell you the whole situation. Hans Richter calls me now a musical fool, because I did not want to make enough cuts (as he puts it). And, of course, he does not perform anything at all; I stand alone at the moment. I hope that things will be better for you and that you will soon succeed then you will surely not forget me. Good luck! Your A. Bruckner Vienna, November 13, 1883 Bruckner, ALS, 27.II.1885 Hochgeborener Herr Baron! Schon wieder muß ich zur Last fallen. Da die Sinfonie am 10. März aufgeführt wird, so komme ich schon Sonntag den 8. März früh nach München und werde wieder bei den vier Jahreszeiten Quartier nehmen.

Sometimes it becomes necessary to resist a temptation to extend this Sir Simon Rattle & Berlin Philharmonic bond of assumed empathy, a temptation that would recreate the Bruckner Ninth with SPCM Finale: composers and their music in an image more closely related to our An Unfinished, and Very Imperfect own preferences, and thereby moderate our reliance on the facts of Dialogue by Dr. John A Phillips Plus Concert and CD review Page 9 biographical and manuscript sources.

  • Anton Bruckner's Fourth Symphony Was the First One to Be Performed By
    Anton Bruckner's Fourth Symphony was the first one to be performed by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra under its own celebrated conductor, the eager but formidable Hans Richter. Given on February 20, 1881, the premiere performance of this work marked the turning point in Bruckner's long, difficult and stormy career as a symphonist in the progressive Wagnerite camp. Not only his place as a composer, but even his parallel career as professor of music at the University, was vehemently opposed by the influential critic and pedagogue Eduard Hanslick, the leading anti-Wagnerite in Vienna. Bruckner was by then 57 years old, and he still had about fifteen years left, most of them productive. The premiere of the Symphony in E flat was a particular triumph for Bruckner, since the same place and orchestra had provided the scene of his most humiliating disaster three years earlier. He had then attempted to conduct the Philharmonic himself in the premiere of his Third Symphony, and for his pains had been scoffed at and deserted by most of the audience. Now, in gratitude to the mighty Richter for undertaking his work and, so to speak, intellectually underwriting it, he tipped the Maestro a thaler at the dress rehearsal, adding: "Take this and drink my health with a glass of beer." Richter was overcome with emotion at this simple, naive gesture. Even the hostile press had to acknowledge the relative success of the new premiere. The arch-enemy Hanslick had taken full advantage of the earlier fiasco to launch his famous series of acid and witty commentaries on Bruckner's successive works, saying of the Third in the New Free Press: "The poetic meaning of this gigantic symphony was never revealed to us.

While Wolf’s attitude towards religion was ambiguous, his settings of the “Geistliche Lieder” from both collections are remarkable examples of originality, artistry, and personal expression. The study traces Wolf’s motivation for working with religious-themed verses from two divergent poetic sources in the context of biographical circumstances and examines Wolf’s distinctive musical articulation in selected sacred songs from two representative works: the Mörike volume which initiated the mature period of the composer’s career and artistry, and the Spanisches Liederbuch, which represents his originality in full bloom.

THE RED BOOK OF ANTON BRUCKNER – ELEVEN SYMPHONIES ix Preface Benjamin M. Korstvedt President, Bruckner Society of America othing engages most Bruckner lovers more than the different versions of the symphonies—and rightly so, for the changes and revisions Bruckner Nmade in many of these works are truly fascinating. The profusion of versions can also present a puzzling, even mystifying picture to the interested listener, scholar or student. Not only are the musical facts of the case, so to speak, both intricate and subtle, but for much of the last century scholars and critics have, more often than not, discussed these matters in ways that often cast more shade than light.
