Programme Information
Programme information Saturday 17 February to Friday 23 February 2018 WEEK 08 NEW SERIES: TURNING POINTS on CLASSIC FM Saturday 17 February, 9pm to 10pm Tonight, we launch a brand new series on Classic FM in partnership with the Honda Jazz, exploring the biggest moments, changes and ‘turning points’ in the history of classical music. Who were the innovators? Who took the risks? Who challenged the norm – and what did they do? From Franz Liszt, whose radical approach made him the first true classical music ‘superstar’; to the invention of the printing press; to the revolutionary female composer Hildegard of Bingen, we’ll hear stories of extraordinary people – and the music that accompanied the most exciting moments in classical music over the last 600 years. Classic FM is available across the UK on 100-102 FM, DAB digital radio and TV, at ClassicFM.com and on the Classic FM app. 1 WEEK 08 SATURDAY 17 FEBRUARY 5pm to 7pm: SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE MOVIES with ANDREW COLLINS With the awards season in full flow, Andrew Collins presents the first of two special awards trivia shows, looking at the big winners, losers and surprises over the decades. Who was the first woman to win Best Picture at the Academy Awards? Who was the first actress to receive twenty nominations for acting? And which film composers have received Oscar nominations over the longest span of time – six decades to be precise? Expect two hours of fun facts and great film scores from the 1930s to the present day, including Toy Story, Gone With the Wind and Ben-Hur. -

With a Rich History Steeped in Tradition, the Courage to Stand Apart and An
With a rich history steeped in tradition, the courage to stand apart and an enduring joy of discovery, the Wiener Symphoniker are the beating heart of the metropolis of classical music, Vienna. For 120 years, the orchestra has shaped the special sound of its native city, forging a link between past, present and future like no other. In Andrés Orozco-Estrada - for several years now an adopted Viennese - the orchestra has found a Chief Conductor to lead this skilful ensemble forward from the 20-21 season onward, and at the same time revisit its musical roots. That the Wiener Symphoniker were formed in 1900 of all years is no coincidence. The fresh wind of Viennese Modernism swirled around this new orchestra, which confronted the challenges of the 20th century with confidence and vision. This initially included the assured command of the city's musical past: they were the first orchestra to present all of Beethoven's symphonies in the Austrian capital as one cycle. The humanist and forward-looking legacy of Beethoven and Viennese Romanticism seems tailor-made for the Symphoniker, who are justly leaders in this repertoire to this day. That pioneering spirit, however, is also evident in the fact that within a very short time the Wiener Symphoniker rose to become one of the most important European orchestras for the premiering of new works. They have given the world premieres of many milestones of music history, such as Anton Bruckner's Ninth Symphony, Arnold Schönberg's Gurre-Lieder, Maurice Ravel's Piano Concerto for the Left Hand and Franz Schmidt's The Book of the Seven Seals - concerts that opened a door onto completely new worlds of sound and made these accessible to the greater masses. -

Wolfgang Sawallisch Wolfgang Sawallisch
WOLFGANG SAWALLISCH Conductor Laureate Wolfgang Sawallisch became conductor laureate of The Philadelphia Orchestra in September 2003, following the culmination of his celebrated, decade-long tenure as the Orchestra’s sixth music director. Acclaimed as one of the greatest living exponents of the Germanic musical tradition, Mr. Sawallisch enriched and expanded upon the Orchestra’s century-old tradition of excellence, leaving an enduring legacy of artistic achievements with the ensemble. As music director, Mr. Sawallisch encouraged the exploration of new ways to present music to American audiences. In April 1997 he led the Philadelphians in the first live internet concert “cybercast” made by a major American orchestra, attracting listeners from more than 40 countries around the world. He presented season-long focuses on the works of Schumann, Haydn, Beethoven, and Brahms, and an ongoing overview of the works of Richard Strauss (including a concert presentation of the opera Ariadne auf Naxos ). Through a series of commissions, Mr. Sawallisch re-affirmed the Orchestra’s commitment to new music; and his vision for the Orchestra’s 100th Anniversary Season in 1999-2000, made up exclusively of music written since the ensemble’s creation in 1900, resulted in record ticket sales and critical praise. During his tenure, Mr. Sawallisch led The Philadelphia Orchestra each year in concerts outside Philadelphia, helping to build upon the ensemble’s long tradition of touring. He appeared annually with the Orchestra in a series of concerts at Carnegie Hall and conducted the Orchestra in major concert halls throughout the world on eight international tours (three to Europe, four to Asia, and one to Central and South America). -
