BSO BSO on Record Several new Boston Symphony recordings conducted by Music Director Seiji Ozawa are now available. From Philips, there is Schoenberg's Gurrelieder, taped live during Symphony Hall performances last spring and featuring Jessye Nor- man, James McCracken, Tatiana Troyanos, David Arnold, Kim Scown, Werner Klemperer, and John Oliver's Tanglewood Festival Chorus. New on Deutsche Grammophon are Respighi's Pines of Rome, Fountains of Rome, and Roman Festivals on a single disc and Tchaikovsky's complete Swan Lake, a three-record set. Other recent releases on DG include Respighi's Ancient Airs and Dances and a Boston Symphony Chamber Players recording of Strauss waltzes as transcribed by Schoenberg, Berg, and Webern. Still a best-seller is the disc released by Philips last spring in conjunction with the Orchestra's trip to China and which includes Wu's Concerto for Pipa and Orchestra, Liszt's E-flat Piano Concerto, and Sousa's Stars and Stripes Forever. New Orchestra Faces Three new faces are visible in the ranks of the Boston Symphony this season. Patricia McCarty is the new assistant principal violist and comes to the BSO with experience in orchestral, solo, and chamber music performance; she was pre- viously a member of the Chicago Symphony's viola section. Nancy Bracken is new to our second violin section; she studied at the Curtis Institute and the East- man School of Music and for the past two years was a member of the Cleveland Orchestra. French horn player Daniel Katzen has played in the Orchestra since last spring's Pops season and was with the BSO at Tanglewood and for the recent European tour; his past experience includes the Salzburg Chamber Orchestra, the Munich Philharmonic, the Rochester Philharmonic, and the Chicago Sym- phony, for which he was an extra horn player. Joseph Silverstein and the BSO This season marks Joseph Silverstein's twenty- fifth year with the Boston Sym- phony Orchestra: he joined the Orchestra in 1955 under then Music Director Charles Munch, became Concertmaster in 1962 under Erich Leinsdorf, and was named Assistant Conductor at the beginning of the 1971-72 season under William Steinberg. BSO listeners, orchestra members, and staff note this anniver- sary with considerable pride and thanks. Art Exhibitions in the Cabot-Cahners Room The Boston Symphony Orchestra is pleased to continue its samplings of Boston- based art. Each month a different gallery or art organization will be represented by an exhibition in the Cabot-Cahners Room, and the first half of the season includes: 2 October - 29 October Impressions Gallery 29 October - 27 November Art/Asia 27 November - 27 December Decor International 27 December - 21 January Polaroid 21 January - 18 February Art Institute of Boston Information for Friends Remaining Stage Door Lecture dates, all Fridays, are 7 December, 11 January, 29 February, and 28 March, at 11:45.

STUDENT CENTER CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL MEDICAL CENTER Seiji Ozawa In the fall of 1973, Seiji Ozawa became the thirteenth Music Director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra since the Orchestra's founding in 1881. Born in Shenyang, China in 1935 to Japanese parents, Mr. Ozawa studied both Western and Oriental music as a child and later graduated from Tokyo's Toho School of Music with first prizes in composition and conducting. In the fall of 1959 he won first prize at the Interna- tional Competition of Orchestra Con- ductors, Besancon, France. Charles Munch, then Music Director of the Boston Symphony and a judge at the competition, invited him to Tanglewood for the summer following, and he there won the Berkshire Music Center's high- est honor, the Koussevitzky Prize for outstanding student conductor. While working with Herbert von Karajan in West Berlin, Mr. Ozawa came to the attention of Leonard Bernstein, whom he accompanied on the New York Philhar- monic's spring 1961 Japan tour, and he was made an Assistant Conductor of that orchestra for the 1961-62 season. His first professional concert appearance in North America came in January 1962 with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra. He was Music Director of the Chicago Symphony's Ravinia Festival for five summers begin- ning in 1963, and Music Director for four seasons of the Toronto Symphony Orches- tra, a post he relinquished at the end of the 1968-69 season in favor or guest conduct- ing numerous American and European orchestras. Seiji Ozawa first conducted the Boston Symphony in Symphony Hall in January of 1968; he had previously appeared with the Orchestra at Tanglewood, where he was made an Artistic Director in 1970. In December of that year he began his inaugural season as Conductor and Music Director of the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra. The Music Directorship of the Boston Symphony followed in 1973, and Mr. Ozawa resigned his San Francisco position in the spring of 1976, remaining Honorary Conductor there for the 1976-77 season. As Music Director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Mr. Ozawa has strengthened the Orchestra's reputation internationally as well as at home. In February/March of 1976 he conducted concerts on the Orchestra's European tour, and in March 1978 he took the Orchestra to Japan for thirteen concerts in nine cities.

Troyer evidently requested that Schubert model the work on Beethoven's famous Septet for winds and strings (Opus 20; composed 1799), which at that time was still the most popular of all of Beethoven's instrumental works, far outdistancing the symphonies and concertos. Schubert followed instructions, mimicking the older master's work so closely in I jm mm:'-*. ?wr fSm^BBm scoring, layout of movements, and musical character that this must have been obvious to everyone who heard the piece and they would have enjoyed it all the more for that very reason.

Although it is difficult to trace the origin of the French horn, it is generally accepted that it was developed in France during the 17th century • An outgrowth of the early primitive and the later sophisticated hunting horn, its value in the use of Fanfares was acclaimed during the reign of Louis XIII • It was also discovered that strange and wonderful musical effects could be had by inserting the hand in the bell • One of the first orchestral uses came in 1717 when Handel included the French horn in his score of the "Water Music" • The modern instrument embodies a main tube measuring approximately 7 feet 4 inches in length, coiled in circles and finally expanding into a widely flared bell • As the French horn lends its importance to the value of the modern symphony orchestra, so too does the trained and reliable insurance office develop a modern and sensible insurance program for business and personal accounts • We would welcome an opportunity to analyze your need for complete protection.

Held every three years, the competition was established in 1997. In keeping with Mrs. Johansen’s wishes, the competition encourages younger musicians with significant prize awards at a time when they need it most – when they must make decisions about continuing with their dedication to music, or perhaps moving away from it as they look to college and other interests. Recalling a New York City gold medal she won when she was just 17 years old, Mrs. Johansen credited that experience with helping her decide to make music her life-long effort. In instituting the Johansen International Competition, she hoped to pass that encouragement on to new generations of string players. Mrs. Johansen expressed these sentiments during an interview about her decision to fund the competition, and to put it under the guidance of the FMMC Foundation.
