We’d like to take this moment to explore this season’s festival theme through the lens of its title: Russian Reflections—two words that capture a variety of perspectives on this summer’s programming. Russia’s history is vividly reflected in its music. The birth of Russian nationalist music (with Glinka’s opera A Life for the Tsar in 1836) was preceded by more than a century of Western European musical imitation, corresponding to Peter the Great’s lasting initiatives to modernize and westernize Russia. From the twilight of the glorious empire through the revolution and into the Soviet era, Russian music not only reported on current events but perhaps even foretold the future. When, in 1914, Aleksandr Scriabin com- posed Vers la flamme (Towards the Flame, performed in Concert Program I), the world’s fiery destruction he depicted was not far off. Russian Reflections also refers to the reflections between Russian musical works and their Western European counterparts, such as, for example, the quintets by Sergei Taneyev and Johannes Brahms, which are paired in Concert Program VI. The extensive, historic cross-currents between Russia and the West ensured that Russian music was by no means created in cultural isolation. And by jux- taposing Russian masterworks with those of the West, we discover that the very elements that distinguish Russian music—passion, romance, elegance, and more—are in fact universally resonant themes that ultimately transcend any geographical or cultural divide. And finally, Russia’s great artists, across disciplines, have contributed some of the canon’s most compelling works of self- reflection—from Tolstoy’s War and Peace to Solzhenitsyn’s The Gulag Archipelago and from Tchaikovsky’s Souvenir de Florence to Shostakovich’s Piano Trio no. 2. Such works represent these artists’ lucid and often poignant looks at themselves as a people and a nation. In a land so vast, with a history filled with profound suffering, Russia’s artistic voices have long asked the question “Why?” and with no reasonable answer to be found, their gaze turns inward. We invite you to immerse yourself in the festival’s many offerings and in the Russian spirit they will bring to life here in Silicon Valley, a place very far from Russia in so many ways. That is indeed the opportunity that great music offers: to be transported to the world’s most interesting places and to gain a deeper understanding of those cultures. Certainly, at the end of these three weeks, the memories of all the musical delights and discoveries we’ll share will constitute our own lasting reflections. We look forward to seeing you at the festival’s many events. Best wishes, David Finckel and Wu Han Artistic Directors Martin Family Artistic Directorship www.musicatmenlo.org 3 Welcome from the Music@Menlo Executive Director Dear Friends, Board Ann S.

How often have you heard a piece of music you didn’t know and wondered why it hadn’t been recorded before? Well, Toccata Classics aims to bring this kind of neglected treasure to the public waiting for the chance to hear it – from the major musical centres and from less-well-known cultures in northern and eastern Europe, from all the Americas, and from further afield: basically, if it’s good music and it hasn’t yet been recorded, Toccata Classics is exploring it. To link label and listener directly we run the Toccata Discovery Club, which brings its members substantial discounts on all Toccata Classics recordings, whether CDs or downloads, and also on the range of pioneering books on music published by its sister company, Toccata Press.

  • Gerry Mulligan Discography
    GERRY MULLIGAN DISCOGRAPHY GERRY MULLIGAN RECORDINGS, CONCERTS AND WHEREABOUTS by Gérard Dugelay, France and Kenneth Hallqvist, Sweden January 2011 Gerry Mulligan DISCOGRAPHY - Recordings, Concerts and Whereabouts by Gérard Dugelay & Kenneth Hallqvist - page No. 1 PREFACE BY GERARD DUGELAY I fell in love when I was younger I was a young jazz fan, when I discovered the music of Gerry Mulligan through a birthday gift from my father. This album was “Gerry Mulligan & Astor Piazzolla”. But it was through “Song for Strayhorn” (Carnegie Hall concert CTI album) I fell in love with the music of Gerry Mulligan. My impressions were: “How great this man is to be able to compose so nicely!, to improvise so marvellously! and to give us such feelings!” Step by step my interest for the music increased I bought regularly his albums and I became crazy from the Concert Jazz Band LPs. Then I appreciated the pianoless Quartets with Bob Brookmeyer (The Pleyel Concerts, which are easily available in France) and with Chet Baker. Just married with Danielle, I spent some days of our honey moon at Antwerp (Belgium) and I had the chance to see the Gerry Mulligan Orchestra in concert. After the concert my wife said: “During some songs I had lost you, you were with the music of Gerry Mulligan!!!” During these 30 years of travel in the music of Jeru, I bought many bootleg albums. One was very important, because it gave me a new direction in my passion: the discographical part. This was the album “Gerry Mulligan – Vol. 2, Live in Stockholm, May 1957”.

  • A Russian Eschatology: Theological Reflections on the Music of Dmitri Shostakovich
    A Russian Eschatology: Theological Reflections on the Music of Dmitri Shostakovich Submitted by Anna Megan Davis to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology in December 2011 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. 2 3 Abstract Theological reflection on music commonly adopts a metaphysical approach, according to which the proportions of musical harmony are interpreted as ontologies of divine order, mirrored in the created world. Attempts to engage theologically with music’s expressivity have been largely rejected on the grounds of a distrust of sensuality, accusations that they endorse a ‘religion of aestheticism’ and concern that they prioritise human emotion at the expense of the divine. This thesis, however, argues that understanding music as expressive is both essential to a proper appreciation of the art form and of value to the theological task, and aims to defend and substantiate this claim in relation to the music of twentieth-century Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich. Analysing a selection of his works with reference to culture, iconography, interiority and comedy, it seeks both to address the theological criticisms of musical expressivism and to carve out a positive theological engagement with the subject, arguing that the distinctive contribution of Shostakovich’s music to theological endeavour lies in relation to a theology of hope, articulated through the possibilities of the creative act.

Bieito’s continued association with the company shows ENO’s commitment to highly theatrical and new interpretations of core repertoire. Following the success of his Carmen at ENO in 2012, described by The Guardian as ‘a cogent, gripping piece of work’, Bieito’s production of Fidelio comes to the London Coliseum after its 2010 premiere in Munich. Working with designer Rebecca Ringst, Bieito presents a vast Escher-like labyrinth set, symbolising the powerfully claustrophobic nature of the opera. Edward Gardner, ENO’s highly acclaimed Music Director, 2013 Olivier Award-nominee and recipient of an OBE for services to music, conducts an outstanding cast led by Stuart Skelton singing Florestan and Emma Bell as Leonore. Since his definitive performance of Peter Grimes at ENO, Skelton is now recognised as one of the finest heldentenors of his generation, appearing at the world’s major opera houses, including the Metropolitan Opera, New York, and Opéra National de Paris.
