Wilhelm Stenhammar WilhelmStenhammar(1871–1927)isamong the greatnamesin Swedish musichistory– nowmostlyrememberedas a composer,but equallyrespec- ted as a pianist and conductorduring his short life.Part of this is due to the fact that Stenhammar wasactiveduring the formationof modern musical life,and the foremostnamesof this period haveneverlost their radiance.For Stenhammar’spart, this is illustratedby the compositionsthat haveconsis- tentlykept their placesas repertoirepieces,on the rst hand his rst piano concerto(B at minor),Tvåsentimentalaromanser(‘TwoSentimentalRoman- ces’)for violinand orchestra,the piano pieceSensommarnätter(‘LateSummer Nights’),solosongssuch as ‘Flickankom ifrån sin älsklingsmöte’(‘e Girl Came from MeetingHer Lover’and the choralsongs‘Sverige’(‘Sweden’)and ‘Iserallietshave’(‘Inthe SeraglioGarden’).

Likeso many other Swedishmusicstudentsat the time, and earlier,he alsotravelledabroad,to Berlin,to study piano. Stenhammarstarted performingas a pianist during his studies,and also began composing.Asa pianist, he began collaboratingwith the violinistTor Aulinand his string quartet, whichwouldcometo developchambermusicin Sweden.eir tours around the country are legendary. He wasa conductorfor the StockholmPhilharmonicSocietychoir from 1897 to 1900. In 1902, he wasamong the foundersof what is now known as the RoyalStockholmPhilharmonicOrchestrain Stockholm.He alsoconduc- ted at the RoyalOpera and wasartistic directorof what wasthen the Gothen- burg OrchestraAssociationfrom1907 to 1922. In tandem with his careeras a pianist and conductor,Stenhammarwasa composer.However,the former activitieswouldperiodicallyeclipsehis other work,but as a fully-edged musi- cian and conductor,he wasnot forcedto composeon commission,as many of his colleagueswere.

    Scaramouche Sibelius’s horror story Eija Kurki © Finnish National Opera and Ballet archives / Tenhovaara Scaramouche. Ballet in 3 scenes; libr. Paul [!] Knudsen; mus. Sibelius; ch. Emilie Walbom. Prod. 12 May 1922, Royal Dan. B., CopenhaGen. The b. tells of a demonic fiddler who seduces an aristocratic lady; afterwards she sees no alternative to killinG him, but she is so haunted by his melody that she dances herself to death. Sibelius composed this, his only b. score, in 1913. Later versions by Lemanis in Riga (1936), R. HiGhtower for de Cuevas B. (1951), and Irja Koskkinen [!] in Helsinki (1955). This is the description of Sibelius’s Scaramouche, Op. 71, in The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Ballet. Initially, however, Sibelius’s Scaramouche was not a ballet but a pantomime. It was completed in 1913, to a Danish text of the same name by Poul Knudsen, with the subtitle ‘Tragic Pantomime’. The title of the work refers to Italian theatre, to the commedia dell’arte Scaramuccia character. Although the title of the work is Scaramouche, its main character is the female dancing role Blondelaine. After Scaramouche was completed, it was then more or less forgotten until it was published five years later, whereupon plans for a performance were constantly being made until it was eventually premièred in 1922. Performances of Scaramouche have 1 attracted little attention, and also Sibelius’s music has remained unknown. It did not become more widely known until the 1990s, when the first full-length recording of this remarkable composition – lasting more than an hour – appeared. Previous research There is very little previous research on Sibelius’s Scaramouche.

    WILHELM STENHAMMAR Excelsior! Symphony No. 2 Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra · Neeme Järvi STENHAMMAR, Wilhelm (1871–1927) 1 Excelsior! symphonic overture, Op.13 (1896) 12'10 Symphony No.2 in G minor, Op.34 (1911–15) 42'37 2 I. Allegro energico 11'02 3 II. Andante 9'02 4 III. Scherzo. Allegro, ma non troppo presto 7'13 5 IV. Finale. Sostenuto — Allegro vivace alla breve 14'18 TT: 55'52 Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra Neeme Järvi conductor 2 he two works on this record show completely different sides of the composer Wilhelm Stenhammar. The symphonic concert overture Excelsior! written Tin 1896 is one of his very first orchestral works, composed by an un - disciplined disciple of Wagner, while the Symphony in G minor from 1915 is much more precise in its articulation, both simple in utterance and formally perfect. After training in his native city of Stockholm, Stenhammar was often in Berlin in the 1890s. He studied the piano there with Heinrich Barth in 1892–93 and was later engaged as a soloist on several occasions. With Richard Strauss conducting he played, for instance, his own Piano Concerto in B flat minor. Stenhammar nat- ur ally came into contact with a great deal of Germanic music and himself composed mu sical dramas in a Wagnerian style and piano music using a Brahmsian palette. A boisterously youthful temperament pervades Excelsior! The main theme is intro duced Leidenschaftlich bewegt (impassioned) by the strings to the accompani - ment of insistent triplets from the woodwind. The secondary theme is presented first by the clarinet and then by flute and bassoon.

Their one recorded meeting took place in 1909 when Stenhammar performed with the Aulin Quartet at a concert at Strindberg's own theatre, Intima Teatern in Stockholm. The following year, at the same venue, the Aulin Quartet gave the first performance of Stenhammar's Quartet No. 4 in A minor; whether Strindberg attended that concert or not is not known.

Tempo moderato 9'00 TT: 58'19 Royal Flemish Philharmonic Marta Sparnina leader Christian Lindberg conductor 2 t is said that the composer Wilhelm Stenhammar (1871–1927) began every work day by asking himself ‘What is a note?’ Behind this constant return to a Isort of Cartesian origin we can discern a sharp musical intellect, capable of great things but also with a certain inclination towards crushingly severe self-cri ti - cism. The history of Stenhammar’s œuvre testifies to both of these aspects – some - times combining artistic triumph and disappointment in the same piece of music. Florez and Blanzeflor, the work of a precocious youth, caused a sensation, as did his début as soloist – aged just over twenty – in his own First Piano Concerto with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. The concert overture Excelsior!, completed in September 1896, was first per - formed on 28th December of that year by the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Arthur Nikisch, while the orchestra was on tour in Copenhagen.

  • Rawson Duo Concert Series, 2019-20 Burning His Sketches Sometime in the Forties
    work trickled out. He worked for decades on an eighth symphony but never completed it, finally Rawson Duo Concert Series, 2019-20 burning his sketches sometime in the Forties. The composer's personality had been troubled for a long time. He began drinking heavily at the death of his mother. Much of the money he earned went to his binges, sometimes to the destitution of his family, despite a small stipend from the Finnish government. The hat was passed several times for him among the Finnish art-loving public. It seems that the anxieties of composition triggered such binges. After he destroyed his eighth, his wife, Aino, Ainola, the Sibelius home, built 1913 reported that he became much happier. Järvenpää (near Helsinki) ~ classical.net named after his wife, Aino What’s Next? Good question — perhaps it will be a Spanish or maybe another Italian program.

    Introduction to: Kirsti Grinde, Svensk musiktidning (1880-1913) Copyright © 2001 RIPM Consortium Ltd Répertoire international de la presse musicale (www.ripm.org) Svensk musiktidning Svensk musiktidning [Swedish music journal], the most important and longest running nineteenth-century Swedish music periodical, was published in Stockholm from 1 January 1880 to 1 May 1913. The journal was initially titled Necken: svensk musiktidning. 1 In the 15 December 1880 issue, the journal's editor Alfred Lundgren announced that he was too busy to carry on, and passed the periodical on to the music publishing company Huss & Beer. The publication then continued under the name Svensk musiktidning. 2 The journal produced twenty-four issues annually through 1883; these appeared at the beginning and in the middle of each month. From 1884 the number of issues was reduced to twenty, with no issues being published during July and August, the "dead season." In 1899 the two June issues were printed as a do.uble issue. This arrangement continued until 1902, when the double issue became the last issue of the year. The unexpected death of the editor Frans Huss in March 1912 resulted in a gap in the journal's publication until 1 September when a double issue appeared. In a note to the readers the new editor, Gunnar Norlen, promised to publish a complete volume. To fulfill his promise Norlen then produced five issues and complet~d the volume with a quadruple issue. During the spring of 1913 Svensk musiktidning appeared irregularly and finally ceased publication after printing a double issue, no. 7/8.
