Renowned As a Musical Pioneer, Cellist Matt Haimovitz Is Praised By
Matt Haimovitz (Cello / Israel) BIOGRAPHY Renowned as a musical pioneer, cellist Matt Haimovitz is praised by The New York Times as a “ferociously talented cellist who brings his megawatt sound and uncommon expressive gifts to a vast variety of styles” and by The New Yorker as “remarkable virtuoso” who “never turns in a predictable performance.” He has inspired classical music lovers and countless new listeners by bringing his artistry to concert halls and clubs, outdoor festivals and intimate coffee houses – any place where passionate music can be heard. He brings a fresh ear to familiar repertoire, champions new music, and initiates groundbreaking collaborations, as well as creating innovative recording projects. Besides his relentless touring schedule, he mentors an award-winning studio of young cellists at McGill University’s Schulich School of Music in Montreal. Haimovitz made his debut in 1984, at the age of 13, as soloist with Zubin Mehta and the Israel Philharmonic. At 17 he made his first recording with James Levine and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, for Deutsche Grammophon. He has gone on to perform on the world’s most esteemed stages, with such orchestras and conductors as the Berlin Philharmonic with James Levine, the New York Philharmonic with Zubin Mehta, the English Chamber Orchestra with Daniel Barenboim, the Boston Symphony Orchestra with Leonard Slatkin, and the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal with Kent Nagano. Haimovitz made his Carnegie Hall debut when he substituted for his teacher, the legendary Leonard Rose, in Schubert’s String Quintet in C, alongside Isaac Stern, Shlomo Mintz, Pinchas Zukerman and Mstislav Rostropovich.

Approaches to the Performance of Musical and Extra-Musical References in Shostakovich’S Viola Sonata
Approaches to the Performance of Musical and Extra-musical References in Shostakovich’s Viola Sonata By John David Roxburgh Exegesis Submitted to Massey University and Victoria University of Wellington in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Musical Arts In Performance New Zealand School of Music 2013 i Abstract Approaches to the Performance of Musical and Extra-musical References in Shostakovich’s Viola Sonata by John David Roxburgh Supervisor: Professor Donald Maurice Secondary Supervisor: Dr David Cosper This paper is an examination of Shostakovich’s Viola Sonata, op. 147, for developing a stylistically informed performance practice. It is divided into three parts: The first is an investigation of symbolism present within the work itself; the second a comparative analysis of recordings; and the third a discussion of how the author uses these approaches to make performance decisions. The first aspect looks to the score itself to identify quotations of and allusions to other works, and considers the reasoning for this. The second analyses string choice and tempo of recordings to consider how these might reflect symbolic considerations. The third part discusses specific performance decisions, and the reasons on which they are based. ii Table of Contents Title Page i Abstract ii Table of Contents iii List of Recording Examples iv Introduction 1 Part I: Investigation of Musical and Extra-Musical References 4 Part II: Comparative Analysis of Recordings 23 Part III: Discussion of Performance Decisions 36 Conclusion 39 Bibliography 42 Appendix I: String Choice Analysis 45 Appendix II: Tempo Analysis 91 iii List of Recording Examples (on audio CD attached) Track No.
