Johnson (212) 875-5718; [email protected] THE BACH VARIATIONS: A PHILHARMONIC FESTIVAL MARCH 6–APRIL 6, 2013 PROGRAM II OF IV Alan Gilbert To Conduct Mass in B minor With Soprano Dorothea Röschmann, Mezzo-Soprano Anne Sofie von Otter, Tenor Steve Davislim, and Bass-Baritone Eric Owens with the New York Choral Artists March 13–16 The New York Philharmonic will present The Bach Variations: A Philharmonic Festival March 6–April 6, 2013. On the festival’s second orchestral program, Alan Gilbert will conduct the Philharmonic in Bach’s Mass in B minor, with soprano Dorothea Röschmann, mezzo-soprano Anne Sofie von Otter, tenor Steve Davislim, bass-baritone Eric Owens, and the New York Choral Artists, Joseph Flummerfelt, director, Wednesday, March 13, 2013, at 7:30 p.m.; Thursday, March 14 at 7:30 p.m.; Friday, March 15 at 8:00 p.m.; and Saturday, March 16 at 8:00 p.m. “The Mass in B minor is a consummate masterpiece that makes me feel humble as a musician when I hear it,” Alan Gilbert said. “Bach took a liturgical, religious starting point and made it even more universal. No matter what you believe, no matter your religious credo, or whether or not you even have a religious credo, it is impossible not to be incredibly moved by this music because it speaks from one human being directly into the heart of another. I feel very privileged to be able to touch this music.” The Bach Variations marks the first time the New York Philharmonic has presented a festival of the music of the Baroque master.

  • Berlin Family Lecture 2021 Program
    RANDY L. AND MELVIN R. BERLIN FAMILY LECTURE SERIES 2021 IAN BOSTRIDGE MUSICAL IDENTITIES The University of Chicago Division of the Humanities returns with the Seventh Annual Berlin Family Lecture series. This year, the event is a fully digital celebration of the power of music to explore musical identities. REGISTRATION FOR THESE VIRTUAL LECTURES IS FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AT BERLINFAMILYLECTURES.UCHICAGO.EDU IAN BOSTRIDGE MUSICAL IDENTITIES VIRTUAL LECTURES Acclaimed tenor Ian Bostridge looks at how classical music can express the inexpressible: the nature of existence; the fluidity of identity; the inevitability of death. Through three Berlin Family Lectures focused on “Musical Identities,” Bostridge sets out to explore and evaluate some of the works at the very center of the classical vocal repertoire, asking how they construct identities—historically, poetically, and musically. LECTURE 1: IDENTITY IN PERFORMANCE LECTURE 3: MEDITATIONS ON DEATH APRIL 11, 2021 APRIL 24, 2021 Classical music offers a fluid and complex perspective on identity. This lecture will focus on The final lecture will look at identity’s ultimate dissolution—death—and explore some of three vocal works from disparate eras, which explore and use identity in different ways: the ways in which classical composers have confronted it, in private and public mode. The lecture focuses on three works by Benjamin Britten: Monteverdi’s Renaissance work for narrator and instrumental ensemble, Il Combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda (the battle between Tancred and Clorinda); The song cycle, The Holy Sonnets of John Donne (1945), written shortly after Britten’s return from Bergen-Belsen; Robert Schumann’s 1840 song cycle for voice and piano, Frauenliebe und Leben (A woman’s life and love); and The War Requiem (1962); and Benjamin Britten’s 20th century “church opera” Curlew River, inspired by Japanese Noh theatre, in which a female protagonist is played by a male singer.

At that time the late James Burnett was especially helpful in providing dates for the L’Oiseau-Lyre recordings that he produced. More information was obtained from additional paperwork in association with Richard Alston for his book published to celebrate the conductor’s 70 th birthday in 1997. John Hunt’s most valuable discography devoted to the Staatskapelle Dresden was again helpful. Further updating has been undertaken in addition to the generous assistance of Philip Stuart via his LSO discography which he compiled for the Orchestra’s centenary in 2004 and has kept updated. Inevitably there are a number of missing credits for producers and engineers in the earliest years as these facts no longer survive. Additionally some exact dates have not been tracked down.

Si trattava, in definitiva, di direttori di tradizione, che si servivano di orchestre a ranghi ridotti, che suonavano di strumenti moderni o, al limite, appena “corrette”, per esempio – come nel caso in questione – con l’aggiunta di trombe naturali. Secondo alcuni, è la risposta più logica ai grandi riformatori del repertorio barocco che, sovente, si sono spinti un po’ troppo in là. La domanda era: perché abbandonare completamente una grande tradizione esecutiva per consegnare tutto il grande repertorio a questi scapestrati? La risposta fu, per l’appunto, quella corrente che vede l’utilizzo di orchestre tradizionali, “suonate” però in modo antico, o moderno, a seconda dei punti di vista Sir Charles Mackerras, interprete sensibile e intelligente oltre che sufficientemente curioso e sperimentatore (a lui si deve il recupero e la rilettura moderna di Janacek), si collocava per l’appunto in questa interessante corrente.
