  • Masterpieces Celebrating the Human Journey Music by Barber, Bruch, Ravel, Prokofiev and Piazzolla
    Masterpieces Celebrating the Human Journey Music by Barber, Bruch, Ravel, Prokofiev and Piazzolla Aude Castagna, Concert director and cello Vlada Volkova, piano; Jeff Gallagher, clarinet Shannon Delaney and Brian Johnston, violins Eleanor Angel, viola The Music Nostalgia: Prokofiev, Overture on Hebrew Themes (1919) Sergei Prokofiev wrote the Overture on Hebrew Themes, Op. 34, in 1919, during a trip to the United States. The piece was commissioned by a Russian sextet, the Zimro Ensemble, sponsored by the Russian Zionist Organization and was written for the unusual combination of clarinet, string quartet, and piano. The members had just arrived in America from the Far East on a world tour and gave Prokofiev a notebook of Jewish folksongs. The melodies Prokofiev chose have never been traced to any authentic sources and may have been actually composed by the ensemble’s clarinetist in the Jewish style. Its structure follows the form of a fairly conventional overture. It is in the key of C minor. The first theme, un poco allegro, has a jumpy and festive rhythm, unmistakably evoking klezmer music by alternating low and high registers and using repeated swelling and tapering of volume. The second theme, piu mosso, is a nostalgic cantabile theme introduced by the cello and then passed to the first violin. Dreams of Love: Eight Pieces for Clarinet, Cello, & Piano, (1910) Op. 83 by Max Bruch Numbers 1, 2,5, 6 and 7. Max Bruch (1838-1920) received his earliest music instruction from his mother, a noted singer and pianist. He was widely known and respected in his day as a composer, conductor, and teacher.

    JOSHUA BELL BRUCH Scottish Fantasy Academy of St Martin in the Fields Br uc h (1838-1920) SCOTTISH FANTASY FOR VIOLIN AND ORCHESTRA, OP. 46 1 I. Introduction: Grave, Adagio cantabile 2 II. Scherzo: Allegro 3 III. Andante sostenuto 4 IV. Finale: Allegro guerriero VIOLIN CONCERTO NO. 1 IN G MINOR, OP. 26 5 I. Vorspiel: Allegro moderato 6 II. Adagio 7 III. Finale: Allegro energico Joshua Bell, Soloist/Director Academy of St Martin in the Fields Master of More than Melody The works presented here are two out of the three pieces by Max Bruch that can be called staples of the classical repertoire. (The third is his piece for cello and orchestra, Kol Nidrei.) In his lifetime he was best known for large-scale choral works, well received at their premieres and popular with the many amateur choral societies found throughout Europe in the later 19th century. Those choruses began to dwindle once the 20th century got underway. As they disappeared, Bruch’s cantatas and oratorios also faded from consciousness, rarely, if ever, to be heard again. By association, Bruch became thought of as a composer whose time had come and gone. It is interesting to compare the very diff erent assessments of him in two successive editions of Grove’s Dictionary of Music, from 1904 and 1954. The earlier edition declared: “He is above all a master of melody, and of the eff ective treatment of masses of sound.” By 1954 the verdict on his output was dismissive and condescending: ‘It is its lack of adventure that limited its fame.’ Bruch was born during the lifetimes of Mendelssohn and Schumann and died when Schoenberg and Stravinsky were creating gigantic waves in musical life.

  • Max Bruch (1838-1920) Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in G Minor
    Max Bruch (1838-1920) Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in G minor Any person who lives 80 years is likely to see consequential change unfold before their eyes, and in a myriad of ways. This is true in any generation but perhaps more so for the 82 year old Max Bruch, who was born a decade after Beethoven’s death and died a decade after Mahler’s. In terms of European history, he very nearly gulfs the distance between the Napoleonic War and the Second World War, missing each by a short twenty years. It is not difficult, therefore, to see Bruch’s artistic output of over 100 published pieces overshadowed by the stylistic changes that came with every generation. He was firmly ensconced in his middle romantic genre, unyielding, distrustful and holding in contempt the swirling mass of ideas around him. Those ideas included the music of some fifty great composers including Bruckner, Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky, Bizet, Debussy, Wagner, Liszt, Rachmaninov and Stravinsky. That Bruch was inflexible in his approach to anything other than his style, caused a waning in popularity which unfortunately exists to this day. We acknowledge his Violin Concerti, the Scottish Fantasy and Kol Nidrei for Cello. But who remembers his great forays into opera, especially Die Loreley, or his extraordinary mastery of massed choral music, accounting for 19 works, both genres propelling him, at least at the time, into semi stardom. It is a dominant fact of his life – and a cause for continuing bitterness - that having counted himself with the more conservative writing of the Mendelssohn- Schumann school, he never bested the great Johannes Brahms, despite outliving him by two and a half decades.

Born in 1685, Bach grew up in a large family of north German musicians. did not garner At just 9 years old, he lost both parents and went to live with his oldest brother (an much interest and organ player), where he developed his love of the instrument. Though during his not until after his lifetime Bach was known better as an organist than a composer (he also sang death did the world and played several instruments), he would eventually become the single greatest realize his genius. influence on many future composers. But for at least 50 years after his death, his treasure trove of music grew nothing but cobwebs. During his lifetime, Bach’s style was considered old-fashioned and didn’t garner much interest. It would take the world a while to realize his genius. Among Bach’s most popular compositions is Air on the G String, but around which Bach once said, swirls some confusion. Much of it is due to it being part of four orchestral suites, “I have had to written toward the end of his life.

    Peoria Symphony Orchestra Program Notes February 10, 2018 Michael Allsen Max Bruch (1838-1920) Concerto No.1 for Violin and Orchestra in G minor, Op.26 Bruch's first violin concerto was completed in 1866, and the final version was performed for the first time by soloist Joseph Joachim in January 1868. Max Bruch is known today primarily for two solo violin works, the G minor concerto heard here, and the Scottish Fantasy, and his Kol Nidrei for cello and orchestra. However, Bruch was a tremendously successful composer in his day, with a catalog of nearly a hundred works that included three operas, three symphonies, and many solo pieces, sacred and secular choral works, art songs, and chamber works. He was a well- regarded conductor and one of the most sought-after composition teachers in Europe— Ottorino Respighi and Ralph Vaughan Williams were among his more famous pupils. Bruch made the first sketches for a violin concerto as early as 1857. He finished the work early in 1866, and in April of that year, conducted a preliminary version at a benefit concert in Koblenz, where the solo part was played by a violinist from Cologne, Otto von Königsglöw. Bruch made several significant revisions after hearing this performance, even considering recasting the work as a “Fantasy” because of its relatively free form. Finally, Bruch solicited the advice of the greatest Austrian virtuoso of the day, Joseph Joachim, who was impressed, and suggested several additional changes. Joachim played the premiere of the revised concerto, and Bruch dedicated the published score to him.
