Maazel began his tenure as the Philharmonic’s new Music Director in September, and already has put his stamp of authority on the playing of the orchestra. Indeed he and the Philharmonic were rapturously received wherever they performed on a recent tour of the Far East. Celebrating the New Year with music is nothing new for Maazel: he holds the modern record for most appearances as conductor of the celebrated New Year’s Day concerts in Vienna by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. There, of course, the fare is made up mostly of music by the waltzing Johann Strauss family, father and sons. For his New Year’s Eve concert with the New York Philharmonic Maazel has chosen quintessentially American music by the composer considered by many to be America’s closest equivalent to the Strausses, George Gershwin.

December 31, 2007, 8:00pm on PBS New York Philharmonic New Year’s Eve Gala with Joshua Bell In September Live From Lincoln Center observed one of its longtime traditions: the Gala opening concert of the new season of the New York Philharmonic. On December 31 we'll re-invent another longtime Live From Lincoln Center tradition: the Gala New Year's Eve concert by the New York Philharmonic. Music Director Lorin Maazel will be on the podium for a program of music appropriate for the festive occasion, and the guest artist will be the acclaimed violinist, Joshua Bell. I first encountered Joshua Bell at the Spoleto Festival, U.S.A. in Charleston, South Carolina. He was then barely into his teens but he was already a formidable violinist, playing chamber music with some of the world's most honored musicians. Not long afterward he burst upon the international scene at what was described as "a sensational debut" with the Philadelphia Orchestra and its Music Director of the time, Riccardo Muti. Joshua Bell was brought up in Bloomington, Indiana, where his father was a Professor at Indiana University. I.U., as it is known in academia, is an extraordinary university, with a School of Music that is world-renowned. Among its outstanding faculty was the eminent violinist Josef Gingold, who became Josh's inspired (and inspiring) mentor and devoted friend. Indeed it was the presence of Gingold in Indiana that led to the establishment of the Indianapolis International Violin Competition. One way for a young musician to attract attention is to win one of the major international competitions.

A CONCERT with COMMENTARY, JEFFREY SIEGEL to PRESENT MOZART and HAYDN “The Leonard Bernstein of the Piano” Returns for His Ninth Season
Contact: Dave Webb Phone: 530-400-1253 E-mail: [email protected] Web: harriscenter.net/about/press-room A CONCERT WITH COMMENTARY, JEFFREY SIEGEL TO PRESENT MOZART AND HAYDN “The Leonard Bernstein of the piano” returns for his ninth season (August 2, 2019, Folsom, CA) Hailed as “an artist who means every note he plays” (New York Times), internationally acclaimed pianist Jeffrey Siegel brings power and passion to his celebrated Keyboard Conversations — returning to Folsom for his ninth season. He has been called “the Leonard Bernstein of the piano” (Chicago Tribune); "Jeffrey Siegel has everything: massive technique, musical sensitivity and character, wide tonal resources, immense reserves of power, and the ability to communicate" (Los Angeles Times). In presenting these “concerts with lively commentary” Mr. Siegel offers comments on the work, the composer, even the times in which the work was composed and then gives a virtuosic performance of a piano masterpiece. A lively Q&A concludes the concert. His presentations enrich the listening experience for the avid music lover as well as provide an inviting, instantly accessible introduction to great music for those new to classical music. "Siegel's programs strengthen the fragile bonds of communication between composer and listener and are as welcome as they are rare." (Chicago Tribune). For his concert on Saturday, August 24, Mr. Siegel will perform MOZART AND HAYDN – HUMOR AND HEARTACHE, an evening of irresistible charm and wit – and deep anguish and sadness. Haydn’s exuberant “Gypsy Rondo” and melancholy “F Minor Variations,” Mozart’s passionate “A Minor Sonata.” The inaugural Keyboard Conversations® With Jeffrey Siegel commences on Saturday, August 24 at 7:30 pm.

In the first week, Mr. Maazel will lead Brahms’s Piano Concerto No. 1 — with soloist Yefim Bronfman, continuing the Philharmonic’s survey this season of Brahms’s complete symphonies and concertos — and Sibelius’s Symphony No. 2 on Wednesday, January 16, 2013, at 7:30 p.m.; Thursday, January 17 at 7:30 p.m.; Friday, January 18 at 2:00 p.m.; and Saturday, January 19 at 8:00 p.m. The following week, Mr. Maazel will lead the Orchestra in Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet, Overture-Fantasy; Lutosławski’s Chain 2: Dialogue for Violin and Orchestra, with soloist Jennifer Koh in her Philharmonic subscription debut; and Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 5 on Thursday, January 24, 2013, at 7:30 p.m.; Friday, January 25 at 8:00 p.m.; and Saturday, January 26 at 8:00 p.m. The works on both programs reflect the composers’ reactions to nationalism. Sibelius’s Symphony No. 2 is considered to represent Finland’s push for independence, and Tchaikovsky composed Romeo and Juliet at the suggestion of Mily Balakirev, head of the “Mighty Five” Russian nationalist composers.

Whether scored for voice 19 and piano or for voice with orchestra, Mahler’s 20 eloquence and gift of melody were natural 21 companions to fine poetry. 22 - 2 - 23 While Mahler would sometimes compose his own 24 texts, he also turned to other sources for 25 inspiration. These famously included the folk- 26 poetry collection, The Youth’s Magic Horn as 27 well as the poetry of Friedrich Rückert. 28 Rückert, who lived from 1788-1866, is said to 29 have been fluent in more than 30 languages and 30 much of his work bows deeply to Asian and 31 Middle Eastern models. But a large body of his 32 poetry is also quintessentially romantic and 33 lyrical. Perhaps it’s little surprise then 34 that there are well over a hundred musical 35 settings of his verse.
