The festival will also include a chamber program on which Mr. Trifonov will collaborate with Musicians from the New York Philharmonic, co-presented with 92nd Street Y, and a vocal concert co-presented by the Kaufman Music Center and New York Festival of Song. Rachmaninoff continues the Philharmonic’s annual, multiweek festivals, an initiative Alan Gilbert introduced in his inaugural season as Music Director. (more) Rachmaninoff: A Philharmonic Festival / 2 Daniil Trifonov made his Philharmonic debut in the 2012–13 season performing Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 3, led by Alan Gilbert. He returned in the 2014–15 season to perform Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 1, led by Juanjo Mena. The New York Times wrote of that performance: “His sound bright and lean at the start, he brought out the work’s focus, even as he gave the impression of flexibility. In the first movement, confidently varying the pulse, he wove his lines around the orchestra’s. The great solo melody near the start of the slow second movement had a wandering if attentive feel, as if it were an impromptu, and Mr. Trifonov’s sound took on a calm lucidity but without a hint of chill. In the finale, he gave his tone silky diaphanousness, keeping a quality of roundedness even in Rachmaninoff’s most pounding runs.” “Daniil Trifonov plays with a technical ability that is jaw-dropping: he can do anything he wants, and his playing can be mysterious and captivating,” said Music Director Alan Gilbert. “He wraps you around his finger and brings you along on a wild, fantastic, and sometimes terrifying journey. Exploring Rachmaninoff’s breathtakingly difficult but beautifully expressive repertoire through Daniil’s performances is sure to be an adventure.” “My Philharmonic debut was a special experience and a great honor. I was captivated by the energy, and it was really enjoyable music-making,” said Daniil Trifonov. “The Rachmaninoff cycle will be an exciting adventure. Each of his concertos has a particular atmosphere: in the Second Concerto, his suffering gave birth to amazing music; the first movement of the Third Concerto is one of the most substantial works he ever wrote; the harmonic courage of the Fourth Concerto, where he searches for a new language, is captivating; and in the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini there is a sense of something lost and a sense of perfection.” Rachmaninoff himself appeared as a soloist with either the New York Philharmonic or the New York Symphony (the two orchestras that merged in 1928 to form the modern Philharmonic) in 41 performances between 1909 and 1942, including numerous performances of his concertos. Week I In the festival’s opening orchestral program, Daniil Trifonov is spotlighted in both Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini and Piano Concerto No. 2, and the Orchestra performs The Isle of the Dead, conducted by Cristian Măcelaru in his Philharmonic debut, Wednesday, November 11, 2015, at 7:30 p.m.; Thursday, November 12 at 7:30 p.m.; Friday, November 13 at 8:00 p.m.; Saturday, November 14 at 8:00 p.m.; and Tuesday, November 17 at 7:30 p.m. The November 12 performance will be broadcast live on WQXR, New York’s classical station, at 105.9 FM and wqxr.org at 7:30 p.m. Rachmaninoff was soloist with the Philharmonic for the New York Premiere of Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini in 1934. The composer was also the soloist for the 1901 World Premiere, in Moscow, of his Piano Concerto No. 2. On November 10, 2015, Kaufman Music Center and the New York Festival of Song will co- present From Russia to Riverside Drive: Rachmaninoff and Friends, a vocal concert at Merkin Concert Hall featuring Rachmaninoff’s Russian songs and the music he heard during his years in (more) Rachmaninoff: A Philharmonic Festival / 3 America, including works by Gershwin, Ellington, Schillinger, and others, performed by soprano Dina Kuznetsova, baritone Shea Owens, thereminist Dalit Warshaw, and pianists and hosts Steven Blier and Michael Barrett. Week II The festival’s second program features Daniil Trifonov in Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 4 and the Orchestra performing Symphony No. 1 and Russian Song, Op. 11, No. 3 (orchestrated by A. Leytush), led by Neeme Järvi, Thursday, November 19, 2015, at 7:30 p.m.; Friday, November 20 at 2:00 p.m.; and Saturday, November 21 at 8:00 p.m. These concerts mark the New York Philharmonic’s first performance of Rachmaninoff’s First Symphony. The festival will also include a chamber music program at 92nd Street Y, which is co- presenting the concert, November 22, 2015. The program will feature Rachmaninoff’s String Quartet No. 1 (unfinished), String Quartet No. 2 (unfinished), and Trio elégiaque No. 2 in D minor for Piano, Violin, and Cello, performed by Daniil Trifonov and Principal Associate Concertmaster Sheryl Staples, Assistant Concertmaster Michelle Kim, Principal Viola Cynthia Phelps, and Principal Cello Carter Brey. Week III The festival concludes with Daniil Trifonov in Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 3 and the Orchestra performing the Symphonic Dances, conducted by Ludovic Morlot, Tuesday, November 24, 2015, at 7:30 p.m.; Friday, November 27 at 8:00 p.m.; and Saturday, November 28 at 8:00 p.m. Rachmaninoff was soloist in the concerto’s World Premiere with the New York Symphony (which would merge with the New York Philharmonic in 1928 to form today’s New York Philharmonic) in 1909, conducted by Walter Damrosch; it was so well received that the composer-pianist repeated the performance two months later with the Philharmonic, led by Gustav Mahler. Rachmaninoff recalled that Mahler “touched my composer’s heart straight away by devoting himself to my Concerto until the accompaniment, which is rather complicated, had been practiced to the point of perfection … according to Mahler, every detail of the score was important — an attitude which is unfortunately rare amongst conductors.” The Saturday Matinee Concert on November 28 at 2:00 p.m. opens with arrangements of Handel’s La Réjouissance (Rejoicing) from Music for the Royal Fireworks, Albinoni’s Sonata Saint Mark, Glinka’s Ruslan and Ludmilla Overture, and Bernstein’s On the Town Suite performed by the New York Philharmonic Principal Brass Quintet — Acting Associate Principal Trumpet Ethan Bensdorf, Associate Principal Horn Richard Deane, Principal Trombone Joseph Alessi, Principal Tuba Alan Baer, and, in these performances, guest trumpet Kevin Cobb — followed by Rachmaninoff’s Symphonic Dances, conducted by Ludovic Morlot.

Artists Combining consummate technique with rare sensitivity, Russian pianist Daniil Trifonov has made a spectacular ascent to classical stardom. Since taking First Prize at both the Tchaikovsky and Rubinstein competitions in 2011 at the age of 20, he has appeared with most of the world’s foremost orchestras and given solo recitals at many of its most prestigious venues. Following the release of Rachmaninov Variations, recorded for Deutsche Grammophon with The Philadelphia Orchestra, in the 2015–16 season Mr. Trifonov is spotlighted in both the New York Philharmonic’s Rachmaninoff: A Philharmonic Festival and the Philharmonia Orchestra’s Rachmaninov Piano Concerto Cycle.

(total time 3:36:3l2). A "musical trivia" question: "Which American symphony orchestra was the first to record under its own name and conductor?" You will find the answer at the beginning of the 12-CD collection, The Chicago Symphony Orchestra: The First 100 Years, issued by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO). The date was May 1, 1916, and the conductor was Frederick Stock. 3 This is part of the orchestra's celebration of the hundredth anniversary of its founding by Theodore Thomas in 1891. Thomas is represented here, not as a conductor (he died in 1904) but as the arranger of Wagner's Triiume. But all of the other conductors and music directors are represented, as well as many guests. With one exception, the 3-CD set, The Centennial Collection: Chicago Symphony Orchestra, from RCA-Victor is drawn from the recordings that the Chicago Symphony made for that company. All were released previously, in various formats-mono and stereo, 78 rpm, 45 rpm, LPs, tapes, and CDs-as the technologies evolved. Although the present digital processing varies according to source, the sound is generally clear; the Reiner material is comparable to RCA-Victor's on-going reissues on CD of the legendary recordings produced by Richard Mohr.

  • Xvii Suure-Jaani Muusikafestival 17.–23
    SUURE-JAANI VALD Heliloojatele Kappidele pühendatud XVII SUURE-JAANI MUUSIKAFESTIVAL 17.–23. juuni 2014 Kunstiline juht prof Andres Uibo Head muusikasõbrad! Suure-Jaani muusikafestival toimub tänavu juba XVIII korda ja mitte ilma- asjata. Juba esimesest korrast, mil tuldi kokku tähistamaks ja austamaks heliloojate Kappide suuri juubeleid ja elutööd, teadsid nii korraldajad kui ka osalejad, et sündinud on midagi olulist. Sündmus, mis igal aastal toob kohale tuhandeid muusikaarmastajaid, kelle hinged leiavad siin kosutust, on oma terviklikkuses ning muusikute ja kuulajate vahel tekkiva sünergia poolest tõeliselt lummav. Eriti tänuväärseks pean asjaolu, et Suure-Jaani muusikafestival pakub külastajaile lisaks kontserdielamustele ka põnevaid kontserdikohti, tutvustab meie kultuurilugu, imelist loodust ning ainukordseid paiku siin Eestimaa südames. Elamused sünnivad kõigi meelte koostöös – kujutlege end näiteks Olustvere leivakotta, kus kaunist muusikat täiendab ninna- tungiv värske leiva hõng; või Hüpassaare rabasaarele, kus kõik osalejad tunnevad üheskoos, et just nii peaksidki inimene, loodus ja muusika koos olema ja elama. Soovin kõigile eredaid, meeldejäävaid elamusi Suure- Jaanis, lugude, looduse ja laulude keskel! Laine Randjärv Riigikogu aseesimees Head Suure-Jaani vaimulikul laulupäeval osalejad! Pidada Suure-Jaani muusikafestivali raames vaimulikku laulupäeva on väga asjakohane ja tänuväärne. On ju Suure-Jaaniga seotud nimekad heliloojad ja nende looming väga tihedalt seotud kirikuga. Tänavu, kui möödub sada aastat professor Hugo Lepnurme sünnist, ei saa jätta märkimata, et temagi võttis osa enamikust nõukogude ajal Suure-Jaanis korraldatud kiriklikest muusikaüritustest ja vaimulikest laulupäevadest. Mäletan kaunist juuni- hommikut, kui ta eaka mehena ette teatamata Olustvere raudteejaamast Suure-Jaani kirikuni jalutas – et looduse ilu nautida, nagu ta ise sõnas. Tõepoolest – siinsed kaunid paigad, auväärne muusikakultuur ja kirgas pühakoda tiivustavad, täidavad südamed tänu ja rõõmuga, panevad hingekeeled helisema ja kannavad mõtted jumalikesse kõrgustesse.

Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2004 APPROVED: Pamela Mia Paul, Major Professor and Program Coordinator Stephen Slottow, Minor Professor Josef Banowetz, Committee Member Steven Harlos, Interim Chair of Piano Jessie Eschbach, Chair of Keyboard Studies James Scott, Dean of the College of Music Sandra L. Terrill, Interim Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Kang, Heejung, Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini, Op.43: Analysis and Discourse. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), May 2004, 169 pp., 40 examples, 5 figures, bibliography, 39 titles. This dissertation on Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini, Op.43 is divided into four parts: 1) historical background and the state of the sources, 2) analysis, 3) semantic issues related to analysis (discourse), and 4) performance and analysis. The analytical study, which constitutes the main body of this research, demonstrates how Rachmaninoff organically produces the variations in relation to the theme, designs the large-scale tonal and formal organization, and unifies the theme and variations as a whole. The selected analytical approach is linear in orientation - that is, Schenkerian. In the course of the analysis, close attention is paid to motivic detail; the analytical chapter carefully examines how the tonal structure and motivic elements in the theme are transformed, repeated, concealed, and expanded throughout the variations. As documented by a study of the manuscripts, the analysis also facilitates insight into the genesis and structure of the Rhapsody.

  • Here Has Been a Steady Production of Operas Since the Season 1918/19
    ESTONIAN NATIONAL OPERA Article provided by the Estonian National Opera At a glance The roots of the Estonian National Opera go back to 1865, when the song and drama society “Estonia” was founded. In 1906, the society became the basis for a professional theatre. The ballet troupe began regular work in 1926, but the first full-length ballet, Delibes’s “Coppélia” was performed in 1922 already. Since 1998, the theatre is officially named the Estonian National Opera. Estonian National Ballet that operates under Estonian National Opera was founded in 2010. The Artistic Director and Chief Conductor is Vello Pähn, the Artistic Director of the Estonian National Ballet is Thomas Edur and the General Manager is Aivar Mäe. The theatre’s repertoire includes classical and contemporary operas, ballets, operettas and musicals. In addition, different concerts and children’s performances are delivered and compositions of Estonian origin staged. Estonian National Opera is a repertory theatre, giving 350 performances and concerts a year, being famous for its tradition of annual concert performances of rarely staged operas, such as Alfredo Catalani’s “La Wally”, Verdi’s “Simon Boccanegra”, Rossini’s “Guillaume Tell”, Bizet’s “Les pêcheurs de perles”, Bellini’s “I Capuleti e i Montecchi”, “I puritani” and “Norma”, Rimsky-Korsakov’s “The Tsar’s Bride” and “Snegurochka”, Strauss’ “Der Rosenkavalier”, etc. History of the Estonian National Opera In 1865, the song and drama society “Estonia” was founded in Tallinn. Acting was taken up in 1871. From 1895 onwards the society began to stage plays regularly, which usually included singing and dancing. In 1906, the society became the basis for a professional theatre called “Estonia Theatre” founded by the directors and actors Paul Pinna and Theodor Altermann.
