He appears frequently with the world’s preeminent orchestras, and regularly collaborates with top solo artists both in concert and on critically lauded recordings. During the 2017/2018 season, Mr. Bringuier will make two appearances with the Orchestre National de Lyon, in November 2017 and May 2018. The season also includes engagements with the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, Montreal Symphony Orchestra, Finnish & Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestras, Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, Orquesta Sinfonica de Castilla y León, Gulbenkian Symphony Orchestra, and Malaysian Philharmonic, among others. Bringuier makes his seasonal return to the Los Angeles Philharmonic in March 2018, with a programme featuring Dvorak, Symphony No.8. Mr. Bringuier’s other programmes this season feature a vast range of repertoire; additional highlights include Dutilleux’ Symphony No. 1, Lutosławski’s Les espaces de sommeil, and Brett Dean’s Amphitheatre, alongside works by Shostakovich, Ravel, Salonen, Gruber, Varèse, Berlioz, and more.

Kammerorchester Des Symphonieorchesters Des BR
Kammerorchester des Symphonieorchesters des BR The Chamber Orchestra of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra was founded by Radoslaw Szulc and Karl Wagner in 2000 to mark the 50th anniversary of the symphony orchestra. Thus emerged a flexible collective of virtuosic players dedicated to cultivating the chamber music ideal. As primus inter pares Radoslaw Szulc oversees the ensemble’s artistic direction. The ensemble has been hailed by the Sueddeutsche Zeitung ”…from the start a first-rate orchestra with its own character. Their sophisticated playing has differentiated structures of communication as well as musical verve…they give special attention to a full sound and achieve the aspired ideal with utmost instrumental precision.” TV and CD productions quickly followed, starting with Tchaikovsky´s works for string orchestra. The chamber orchestra became known early on for its homogenous and lush string sound. They appear frequently in the major musical centers of Europe as well as at international festivals. The chamber orchestra developed a close friendship with Hélène Grimaud and Frank Peter Zimmermann. In 2011 Mozart´s piano concertos in F Major KV 459 and in A Major KV 488 featuring Hélène Grimaud were released by Deutsche Grammophon and became number one on the US Classic Charts. In 2014 the chamber orchestra began recording all of the Mozart violin concertos with Frank Peter Zimmermann; even before completion of the project in 2015 the first part of the recordings appeared in the Classic Charts. The orchestra has also recorded several Bach violin concertos featuring Lisa Batiashvili for Deutsche Grammophon. The chamber orchestra frequently collaborates with other famous soloists such as Lang Lang, Julia Fischer, Mischa Maisky, Sabine Meyer, Pinchas Zukerman, Diana Damrau, Igor Levit, Vadim Repin, Janine Jansen und Maxim Vengerov. -
Rachmaninoff's Early Piano Works and the Traces of Chopin's Influence
Rachmaninoff’s Early Piano works and the Traces of Chopin’s Influence: The Morceaux de Fantaisie, Op.3 & The Moments Musicaux, Op.16 A document submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in the Division of Keyboard Studies of the College-Conservatory of Music by Sanghie Lee P.D., Indiana University, 2011 B.M., M.M., Yonsei University, Korea, 2007 Committee Chair: Jonathan Kregor, Ph.D. Abstract This document examines two of Sergei Rachmaninoff’s early piano works, Morceaux de Fantaisie, Op.3 (1892) and Moments Musicaux, Opus 16 (1896), as they relate to the piano works of Frédéric Chopin. The five short pieces that comprise Morceaux de Fantaisie and the six Moments Musicaux are reminiscent of many of Chopin’s piano works; even as the sets broadly build on his character genres such as the nocturne, barcarolle, etude, prelude, waltz, and berceuse, they also frequently are modeled on or reference specific Chopin pieces. This document identifies how Rachmaninoff’s sets specifically and generally show the influence of Chopin’s style and works, while exploring how Rachmaninoff used Chopin’s models to create and present his unique compositional identity. Through this investigation, performers can better understand Chopin’s influence on Rachmaninoff’s piano works, and therefore improve their interpretations of his music. ii Copyright © 2018 by Sanghie Lee All rights reserved iii Acknowledgements I cannot express my heartfelt gratitude enough to my dear teacher James Tocco, who gave me devoted guidance and inspirational teaching for years. -

Their next tour starts in Paris at the new Philharmonie on 11 April. This is followed by a five-city tour across Germany, with return concerts in Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt and Munich and their first visit to Hannover. Their programme includes Saint-Saëns’s Symphony No.3 (“Organ Symphony”), Beethoven’s 4th Piano Concerto performed by Hélène Grimaud and Rossini’s Cenerentola Sinfonia. In May, Pappano and the Accademia di Santa Cecilia will cross the Atlantic for their first tour to South America for concerts in São Paolo and Buenos Aires and there will be a much-anticipated return to the UK in the summer (to be announced in due course). Italian pianist Beatrice Rana, featured on the latest Warner Classics recording of Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No.1 and Prokofiev Piano Concerto No. 2 (her debut album), will join Maestro Pappano and the Accademia di Santa Cecilia on their South American tour. At a time of cultural instability and economic malaise, the Accademia di Santa Cecilia stands as a beacon of artistic excellence, progress and enlightened administration in Italy. -

Across the board, European audiences and critics alike lauded the Fabulous Philadelphians under the leadership of Nézet- Séguin, with Vienna’s Der Standard commenting, “A cornucopia of perfection and dynamic fury—this is just a taste of what the Philadelphia Orchestra brought to its first evening performance of its two-day residence at the Wiener Musikverein. … Yannick Nézet-Séguin is considered by many to be one of the most thrilling conductors of our time, and his interpretation of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony with the Philadelphia Orchestra was a consummate masterpiece of sheer perfection.” Overall, the Tour’s successes were threefold: as an artistic venture, with the Orchestra and Nézet-Séguin receiving glowing reviews; as an opportunity for furthering the Orchestra’s educational mission through residency activities in Lyon and London; and as a moment for promoting Pennsylvania as a global destination for tourism, trade, and business development, alongside two delegations representing the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the City of Philadelphia. -

NDR Radiophilharmonie in Einem Leeren Konzertsaal Gespielt
KONZERTSAISON 2021/2022 GRUSSWORT Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, so viele Monate hat die NDR Radiophilharmonie in einem leeren Konzertsaal gespielt. Immerhin vor Mikrofonen und sehr häufig auch vor Kameras, zu jedem Zeitpunkt darauf bedacht, eine „echte“ Konzertatmosphäre zu erzeugen. Dabei haben wir an Sie gedacht und uns vorgestellt, wie Sie uns von zu Hause aus zuhören oder zuschauen. Dass Sie, unser Publikum, ein ganz entscheidender Teil eines Konzerts sind, war uns schon immer bewusst. Aber nun sprechen wir aus gemachter Erfahrung: Ihr Dabeisein ist ein unver- zichtbarer Bestandteil eines jeden Konzerts und macht eine Aufführung erst zu dem, was sie sein soll – ein besonderer Moment musikalischen Schaffens! Das gemeinsame Erleben von Musik lässt sich durch nichts ersetzen und ist ein wesentlicher Teil unseres Seins als Musikerin und Musiker – und als Mensch. Ich freue mich sehr auf das Wiedersehen mit Ihnen! Bleiben Sie weiterhin gesund, Ihr Andrew Manze Chefdirigent der NDR Radiophilharmonie Diese Broschüre gibt Ihnen einen Überblick zu unserer Konzertsaison 2021/22. Aufgrund der aktuellen Situation können sich noch Änderungen ergeben. Deshalb möchten wir Sie bitten, sich stets auf unserer Website zu informieren. Dort finden Sie auch alle Details zu „Musik 21“, den „Konzerten Junger Künstler“, zur Joseph Joachim Akademie oder unserem Freundeskreis. 2 ndr.de/radiophilharmonie BRAHMS-FESTIVAL BRAHMS-FESTIVAL FESTIVAL 1 Unser Brahms-Festival im Kuppelsaal ERÖFFNUNGSKONZERT Für Andrew Manze hat die Musik von SO 20.02.2022 | 18 UHR Brahms geradezu „etwas Magisches“.
