Generalmente proceden de directores o compositores que pertenecen a las filas de los que han hecho de ello parte fundamental de su trabajo o su trabajo entero. Es decir, que dependen de dos cosas funda- mentales, a saber, el apoyo de las administraciones culturales y el favor del público: unas administraciones a las que piden y un público al que riñen con frecuencia por no ser partidario. De entre los creadores, como sucede en la literatura o en la pintura, suelen ser los más privilegiados por las circunstan- cias los que más se quejan, pues aunque se les programe se lamentan de que se hace menos de lo que se debiera. Nadie puede negar el derecho del artista a procurarse una presencia activa que lleva consigo, además, aunque sea en muy pocos casos, la autonomía profesional, pero también cabe preguntarse si el discurso de los quejosos no corresponde a un sentido excluyente de esa misma profesión, a una suerte de limitadísimo esprit de corps al que la evolu- ción de las cosas da la espalda. En la esencia de ese discurso está la conside- ración unívoca y poco realista de lo contemporáneo no como lo que pertene- ce al tiempo presente sino como aquello que representa una de las facetas de ese tiempo presente, exactamente la que trató de adueñarse del discurso OPINIÓN musical en los años de la posguerra y que paulatinamente hubo de confron- tarse con otras ideas estéticas, con otros modos de composición y de comu- nicación que partían de raíces distintas, incluidos, naturalmente, los que habían asimilado, entre ellas, la propia corriente de la vanguardia atonal. Del mismo modo que el surrealismo es un clásico sentado en la acade- mia, también están ya en ella —si no fuera así habría que lamentarlo— las ideas de Schoenberg o Cage, esas de las que salieron logros indiscutibles pero también hijuelos que, ajenos a la realidad, siguen tratando de convencer al oyente que no los oye de que sólo la investigación y el análisis tienen sen- tido en un mundo en el que, a contrario sensu, la experiencia de la vida parece conducir a aquel a la búsqueda de una compañía que determinada música de hoy, bien valorada por los profesionales, no le presta. Queja igualmente recurrente es el escaso interés de las orquestas españo- las en estrenar o reprogramar estas obras nuevas, lo que si se aplica a las que pertenecen a lo que nuestros quejosos se refieren no deja de ser verdad. Pero, acudamos por ejemplo a la programación del mes de febrero de la OSG: estrenos absolutos de Vladimir Rosinskij —viola de la propia orquesta y resi- dente en España hace muchos años— y Federico Mosquera, y estreno en España de Toshio Hosokawa en tres programas de abono seguidos. Claro, para algunos no son contemporáneos, pero sí que lo son, pues viven al mis- mo tiempo que nosotros. Como viven las generaciones posteriores a la de los quejosos, aquellos que han sabido crearse un estilo que no reniega de un pasado inmediato y ya insoslayable si se quieren hacer las cosas con seriedad y que saben de sobra dónde está la clave del hacer música y cómo la voca- ción está en la esencia y no en la cáscara. Y en dar a esas generaciones —por ejemplo a la de los que están entre los cincuenta y los sesenta años de su edad y, por tanto en puertas de la definitiva madurez— lo que se merecen, que es ser programados porque hacen una música de enorme calidad, es don- de hoy tendrían los responsables de los abonos orquestales la máxima res- ponsabilidad. Y cuando se hagan mayores, los siguientes y así sucesivamente. Basta con mirar la programación de la Orquesta de la Radio de Finlandia para comprobar cómo puede armonizarse la protección a lo propio con la atención al gran repertorio. Por cierto, en España también tenemos una orquesta de la radio —y la televisión— a quien correspondería seguir con esa obligación que le dio sentido en su día. Por ahí hay que ir y no en dirección a ese muro de las lamentaciones que nada tiene que ver con la realidad de un mercado cul- tural que en otros ámbitos —la literatura, por ejemplo, y hasta la pintura— han entendido mucho mejor, empezando por unos creadores que se saben mucho mejores que los que triunfan pero callan, quizá por autoestima. 2 327-Pl 1 #.qxp_Pliego 1 22/2/17 14:22 Página 3 O p I N I ó N Escrito de oído El lugar de la música Félix de Azúa Diseño de portada Argonauta xceptuando profesionales y pedagogos, la mayoría de los aficionados Foto portada: hemos pasado aprietos para entrar en el Cuarteto que Lutoslawski estre- Noah Shaye E nó en 1965, aunque llevaba años trabajándolo.

  • Juilliard Opera Presents Music by W. A. Mozart
    JUILLIARD OPERA PRESENTS DON GIOVANNI MUSIC BY W. A. MOZART LIBRETTO BY LORENZO DA PONTE Anneliese Klenetsky as The Governess and Rebecca Pedersen as Miss Jessel in Juilliard Opera's production of Britten's The Turn of the Screw A Message From Brian Zeger To present Mozart and Da Ponte’s masterpiece Don Giovanni is always a privilege and a challenge. A protean work, the opera continues to offer a rich canvas for audiences and critics. It grapples with some of the profound tensions we have struggled with since Mozart’s time: between men and women when sexual desire clashes with notions of honor and loyalty, and class struggle with a central relationship between master and servant that is rich and unresolved. In the fall, we presented Benjamin Britten’s The Turn of the Screw, leaving audiences with a strong sense that not only had corruption occurred, it had proliferated in the hothouse environment of an Edwardian country house. In February, Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas, the oldest work in our opera season, raised questions of how a female leader is judged and whether her fate is her own or is dictated by society. Can the life of a powerful female leader ever truly be her own? As the final production in our Juilliard opera season,Don Giovanni leaves us with more questions than answers. Will the women who fall into Giovanni’s orbit be able to extricate themselves? If an aristocrat’s corruption is exposed, what does that mean for the larger society? Does a servant like Leporello, who has aided Giovanni, share in his guilt? In addition to the brilliant artistic team behind this production, our students benefit from superb teaching: voice teachers as well as language, dramatic, and movement coaches and an academic environment which helps our students see their work in a larger cultural context and encourages critical thinking.

Muti and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO) explore music by Berlioz, Tchaikovsky and Verdi inspired by the works of William Shakespeare in three programs featuring internationally acclaimed soloists as part of the CSO’s celebration of Shakespeare in music during a year that marks the 400th anniversary of the Bard’s death. These programs are part of the citywide SHAKESPEARE 400 CHICAGO celebration which is organized by Chicago Shakespeare Theatre and commemorates the legacy of William Shakespeare in more than 400 performances by cultural institutions across Chicago. On April 7-9, Muti leads the CSO and Chicago Symphony Chorus in three performances of Berlioz’s unconventional third symphony Romeo and Juliet featuring tenor Paul Groves in his CSO debut and return appearances by mezzo-soprano Ekaterina Gubanova and bass Dmitry Belosselskiy. The landmark work utilizes the emotional power of the orchestra to portray the lead roles of the young lovers while the chorus represents the feuding families of the Montagues and Capulets and the soloists become characters including a prince, a fairy queen and Friar Laurence who guide the listeners through Shakespeare’s tragedy.
