Catalogue English MANAGEMENT For over four decades, the Strauss Capelle Vienna has given successful performances in the world’s most prestigious concert halls. With an unshakeable devotion to its audience and its cause, the ensemble spreads its special Viennese spirit across the globe, always keeping the balance between the format of a strictly classical concert and the delights of an entertaining, interactive show. This method is the orchestra’s recipe for success. My personal mission is to uphold and globalise the Viennese musical tradition, building sustainable bridges between central European culture and international audiences, in order to ensure our classical heritage stays modern and relevant. Prepare yourself for a musical firework brimming with temperament, style and elegance and discover the charm- ing joie de vivre of the Strauss dynasty with its thrilling melodies! Francisco Supin GENERAL MANAGEMENT FRANCISCO SUPIN [email protected] +43 676 715 59 51 www.strausscapelle.com 3 HISTORY The Strauss Capelle Vienna, founded by Johann Strauss I in 1827, is steeped in historical tradition and is proud to be considered one of the most highly respected orchestras worldwide. After a concert tour through Canada and the USA in 1901, Eduard Strauss I, son of Johann Strauss I, disbanded the orchestra in New York. 76 long years passed before members of the Vienna State Opera and Volksoper or- chestra decided to revive the Strauss dynasty’s original orchestra. With unwavering devotion to their musical heri- tage, these musicians brought Strauss’ music back to life in its original setting. The rebirth of Strauss’ orchestra meant the Strauss family’s most enchanting melodies could once again fill the world’s concert houses. The orchestra today continues its founder’s tradition of performing Strauss’ music on tour to the highest standard, delighting audiences around the globe. 4 5 6 7 ABOUT THE ORCHESTRA Since 1977, the Strauss Capelle Vienna has performed over 3,000 concerts worldwide, never failing to create memorable experiences for its treasured international audiences. Performing in their trademark red historical uniforms, remnants from the ensemble’s birth at the court of Emperor Franz Joseph I, the orchestra’s mission is to uphold the rich musical tradition of the Viennese Waltz, created by Vienna’s own Strauss Dynasty. The ensemble offers several unique concert programmes, including traditional gala concerts, Viennese Balls and open-air events. The size of the orchestra is adaptable and depends on the capacity of the performance venue at hand and the budget at disposal. Though the ensemble does its best to create a modern perspective on the music we perform for today’s audi- ences, the Strauss Capelle remains firmly rooted in Austrian tradition and history, in order to preserve the Strauss Dynasty’s timeless musical legend. 8 9 FORMATIONS No 1.

These costumes represent the cultural tradition from which they stem, standing for musical precision and excellence. Historical research demonstrates that our uniformed costumes were first created upon request by the Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph I himself, whose court tailor was instructed to design special costumes for the Emperor’s favourite musical ensemble: a diversion from its conventional black suits. This mark of excellence has since remained with the ensemble through the ages. On request, however, the orchestra can also perform in elegant evening gowns and tailcoats. 12 13 MUSICAL AMBASSADORS OF AUSTRIA The Strauss Dynasty, including father Johann I and his sons Johann II, Eduard and Josef, toured the world with their Strauss Capelle Vienna, heralding a new Golden Age of the Viennese Waltz and enchanting international audiences with breathtaking performances of the contem- porary masterpieces of their day. Today, the Strauss Capelle Vienna musicians preserve their position as “Musical Ambassadors of Austria”, with a mission to proudly represent the city’s rich cultural heritage and emphasize its crucial role as the world’s capital of classical music. As one of the most original cultural exporters of central European arts and culture, the ensemble strengthens political and economic relations between Austria and other countries. 14 15 16 17 VALUES As an active orchestra on the international music market for over four decades, the Strauss Capelle Vienna’s trade- mark is spreading musical joy and enchantment, leaving a lasting impression on its listeners and building a personal connection with its audience. With an attitude of excel- lence and passionate devotion, we constantly adapt our concert programmes to meet the needs and desires of our cherished audiences. Our brand equity and unique marketing values, along with our signature red historical uniforms (our USP), have ensured our growth over several decades and have helped us maintain our top position as pioneer musical ambassadors of Austria. Our faithful, international audiences keep us performing regularly in the world’s most renowned concert halls. Concert promoters can be sure of success when booking the Strauss Capelle Vienna: owing to its brand value, unique stage image in historical uniforms and exceptional promotional material, tickets for its performances are usually sold at a particu- larly fast rate – eliminating any financial risk. 18 19 MISSION The Strauss Capelle Vienna represents Austrian cultural heritage, but also carries with it a more profound and farreaching message for our global cultural society: music is an international language and of peace, respect, integrity and love. Our mission is to unify cultures by globally showcasing the wondrously rich cultural heritage of Austria the only way we know how: with passionate devotion and a sustained attitude of excellence. 20 21 CONCERTS CREDITS WORLDWIDE CONTACT Francisco Supin EUROPE ASIA AMERICAS Barichgasse 21/24 | 1030 Vienna, Austria [email protected] AMSTERDAM M O S C OW BA KU N AG OYA BELO HORIZONTE SAN JOSE ATHENS O PAT I JA BANGKOK NANJING BARRANQUILLA S.

  • THE ART of CARLOS KLEIBER Carolyn Watson Thesis Submitted In
    GESTURE AS COMMUNICATION: THE ART OF CARLOS KLEIBER Carolyn Watson Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Conservatorium of Music University of Sydney May 2012 Statement of Originality I declare that the research presented here is my own original work and has not been submitted to any other institution for the award of a degree. Signed: Carolyn Watson Date: ii Abstract This thesis focuses on the art of orchestral conducting and in particular, the gestural language used by conductors. Aspects such as body posture and movement, eye contact, facial expressions and manual conducting gestures will be considered. These nonverbal forms of expression are the means a conductor uses to communicate with players. Manual conducting gestures are used to show fundamental technical information relating to tempo, dynamics and cues, as well as demonstrating to a degree, musical expression and conveying an interpretation of the musical work. Body posture can communicate authority, leadership, confidence and inspiration. Furthermore, physical gestures such as facial expressions can express a conductor’s mood and demeanour, as well as the emotional content of the music. Orchestral conducting is thus a complex and multifarious art, at the core of which is gesture. These physical facets of conducting will be examined by way of a case study. The conductor chosen as the centrepiece of this study is Austrian conductor, Carlos Kleiber (1930-2004). Hailed by many as the greatest conductor of all time1, Kleiber was a perfectionist with unscrupulously high standards who enjoyed a career with some of the world’s finest orchestras and opera companies including the Vienna Philharmonic, La Scala, Covent Garden, the Met and the Chicago Symphony.

Building upon the firm musical foundations laid by his father, Johann Strauss I (1804–1849), and Joseph Lanner (1801–1843), the younger Johann (along with his brothers, Josef and Eduard) achieved so high a development of the classical Viennese waltz that it became as much a feature of the concert hall as of the ballroom. For more than half a century Johann II captivated not only Vienna but also the whole of Europe and America with his abundantly tuneful waltzes, polkas, quadrilles and marches. The thrice-married ‘Waltz King’ later turned his attention to the composition of operetta, and completed sixteen stage works besides more than 500 orchestral compositions – including the most famous of all waltzes, The Blue Danube (1867). Johann Strauss II died in Vienna on 3 June 1899. Johann Strauss II: The Complete Orchestral Edition represents a milestone in recording history, presenting, for the first time ever, the entire orchestral output of the ‘Waltz King’. Despite their supremely high standard of musical invention, the majority of the compositions have never before been commercially recorded and have been painstakingly assembled from archives around the world.
