Colección de Arte Banco de la República Los conciertos realizados en la Sala de Conciertos de la Biblioteca Lu1s Angel Arango están autorizados por la Dirección Administrativa de la Secretaria de Gobierno de Bogotá, mediante la Resolución 071 del 14 de febrero de 2014. Digitalizado por la Biblioteca Luis Ángel Arango del Banco de la República, Colombia. De Bach a Puyana A comienzos del siglo XIX , tras varios cambios políticos, sociales, culturales y estéticos, la música de Johann Sebastian Bach casi que había sido olvidada. Sin embargo , la obsesión del joven compositor Félix Mendelssohn por reivindicarla, lo llevó a emprender el montaje y presentación de la Pasión según San Mateo en 1829. El concierto distó de ser históricamente correcto según los conceptos musicales que hoy manejamos. De acuerdo con Colín Eatock en un artículo publicado en la revista Early Music America en 2009, Mendelssohn dirigió un coro de aproximadamente 158 cantantes usando una batuta y haciendo el continuo desde un piano en vez de desde un clavecín. La obra, además, no fue interpretada en su integridad: Mendelssohn recortó, para el concierto, diez arias, cuatro recitativos y seis corales. No obstante, en 1829, este concierto se convirtió en la primera vez que la Pasión fue interpretada, desde la muerte de su compositor en 1750. Desde entonces, para el mundo ha sido imposible dejar de presentarla, escucharla y, con los avances tecnológicos, grabarla y retransmitirla. El proyecto emprendido por Mendelssohn generó lo que hoy día se conoce como el Renacimiento de Bach, fenómeno que dio paso al redescubrimiento de compositores, repertorios, estilos, instrumentos y posibilidades musicales olvidadas en otros siglos. Creo que no es absurdo atribuir como consecuencia de este fenómeno el que Wanda Landowska haya creado, setenta años más tarde -a comienzos del siglo XX-, una nueva revolución , volviendo al pasado y recuperando para el mundo el uso del clavecín para abordar el repertorio barroco, que hasta ese momento estaba siendo interpretado exclusivamente al piano. La escuela de interpretación y de aproximación a la música de la que provenía Landowska era aquella escuela romántica, polaca, de finales del siglo XIX , henchida de gestos chopinianos aplicados al piano y que ella llevó al clavecín. De igual forma, el clavecín con el que viajaba y realizaba sus recitales y grabaciones era un instrumento reinventado y modernizado gracias a Pleyel, la fábrica de pianos -desde ese momento también fábrica de clavecines-. No obstante, gracias a Landowska, obras como El clave bien temperado o Las variaciones Goldberg cobraron nueva vida. La atención que recibió de esta manera el clavecín no fue pasajera y el impacto que causó la intérprete franco-polaca en sus alumnos extendió su legado técnico, estético y de aproximación a la música. Digitalizado por la Biblioteca Luis Ángel Arango del Banco de la República, Colombia. Rafael Puyana, clavecinista que fue y seguirá siendo una de las figuras musicales colombianas más importantes del siglo XX, fue alumno de Landowska. Luego de haber viajado, a los 15 años, para estudiar con ella en los Estados Unidos y después de estudiar durante algunos veranos con Nadia Boulanger (profesora de composición de Copland, Piazzolla, Glass y Carter, entre muchos otros), Puyana hizo su debut en el Town Hall de Nueva York a los 26 años, actuación que lo lanzaría hacia una importante carrera internacional. Además de presentarse por todo el mundo como intérprete del clavecín, Puyana fue quizás el único colombiano de su generación que grabó música clásica para Mercury y Philips, esto en una época en la que sólo por medio de una disquera podía entrar un artista al mercado discográfico. Jory Vinikour interpretará en dos conciertos la obra completa para clavecín de Jean-Philippe Rameau (1683-1764). Por su grabación de estas obras, Vinikour estuvo nominado en 2013 al Premio Grammy. Por medio de estos recitales, la sala de conciertos de la Biblioteca Luis Ángel Arango quiere hacer público su agradecimiento a Rafael Puyana y a su familia por la donación de uno de sus clavecines. Este instrumento, construido por Rainer Schütze en 1971 , es una copia de un clavecín fabricado por Franr;:ois Blanchet, uno de los principales constructores franceses de clavecines del siglo XVIII. Schütze fue pionero en la fabricación de clavecines basada en la recreación de las técnicas de construcción de instrumentos antiguos en los años 60. 2 El primer clavecín que tuvo la sala de conciertos de la Biblioteca Luis Ángel Arango es un instrumento moderno, fabricado por la firma estadounidense Rutkowski & Robinette. Su compra fue asesorada por Rafael Puyana. Posteriormente, la sala adquirió dos clavecines, uno franco-flamenco y otro italiano, réplicas de instrumentos históricos, ambos fabricados por Jean Franr;:ois Chaudeurge. Esta colección está siendo complementada hoy por un clavecín que fue testigo de la leyenda viva que fuera Rafael Puyana, un referente de la interpretación del clavecín y solista invitado en más de treinta ocasiones a la sala de conciertos de la Biblioteca Luis Ángel Arango. Digitalizado por la Biblioteca Luis Ángel Arango del Banco de la República, Colombia. A Jory Vinikour se le reconoce hoy como uno de los clavecinistas más destacados de su generación. Su vasta carrera lo ha llevado a presentarse en los festivales y salas de concierto más importantes del mundo, tanto en la escena del recital como en la de solista de concierto, junto a muchos de los artistas más prestantes de nuestro tiempo. Su repertorio de concierto abarca desde Bach hasta Poulenc y Nyman y, como solista, ha tocado junto a las orquestas más sobresalientes, como la Filarmónica de Róterdam, la Orquesta de la Suisse Romande, la Orquesta de Cámara de Lausana, la Filarmónica de Radio Francia, el Ensamble Orquestal de París, la Netherlands Chamber Orchestra, la MOR Symphony Orchestra, la Sinfónica de Cape Town, la Orquesta de Cámara de Moscú y la Royal Scottish National Orchestra. Entre los directores con quienes ha colaborado están Stéphane Denéve, Martin Haselbbck, Marek Janowski, Armin Jordan, Benjamín Levy, Fabio Luisi , Marc Minkowski, John Nelson, Gordan Nikolié, Constantine Orbelian y Victor Yampolsky, entre otros. Participó en la grabación de la Petite Symphonie 3 Concertante de Frank Martin, con la Orquesta de Cámara de Lausana bajo la dirección de Armin Jordan (Suiza Romana, 2005). Su reconocimiento como músico acompañante es prominente, habiendo trabajado con artistas de la talla de David Daniels, Héléne Delavault, Vivica Genaux, Magdalena Kozena, Annick Massis, Dorothea Rbschmann, Rolando Villazón y muchos otros. Ha sido acompañante de la legendaria mezzo-soprano sueca Anne Sofie von Otter en recitales ofrecidos en Suecia, Noruega, España, París y en La Scala de Milán. Con el laúdista Jakob Lindberg produjo un programa de música inglesa e italiana del siglo XVII llamado Music for a While, lanzado por la Deutsche Grammophon a principios de 2005. Como activo exponente del repertorio contemporáneo para clavecín, Jory Vinikour ha estado a cargo de los estrenos de obras escritas para él por compositores como Harold Meltzer, Frédéric Durieux, Stephen Blumberg, Patricia Morehead y Graham Lynch, entre otros. También ha ofrecido presentaciones de obras de Ligeti y de Michael Nyman así como muchos conciertos con repertorio del siglo XX, incluyendo el Concierto para clavecín de Cyril Scott (1973), que el mismo Vinikour preparó y editó para Novello Editions. Digitalizado por la Biblioteca Luis Ángel Arango del Banco de la República, Colombia. Jory Vinikour aparece con regularidad en los festivales y teatros de ópera europeos: Ópera de París, Ópera de los Países Bajos, Festival de Salzburgo, Teatro Real de Madrid, Baden-Baden, Glyndebourne y otros, con repertorios tanto barrocos y clásicos como aquellos de tendencia más contemporánea (The Rake's Progress de Stravinsky y Die So/daten de Zimmermann), y se le escucha en numerosas grabaciones para los sellos Deutsche Grammophone, EMI , Erato y Sony Classics, entre otros. Su grabación de las Variaciones Go/dberg de Bach, lanzada bajo el sello Delos lnternational en 2001 , recibió grandes elogios por parte de la crítica internacional. John von Rhein, del Chicago Tribune, la calificó como uno de los diez mejores discos de música clásica del año, honor que ya había recibido su grabación de las Tocatas de Bach, en 1999. Su producción de 2009 para el sello Delos con las Suites para clavecín de Handel recibió nuevamente excelentes comentarios de la crítica (American Record Guide la consideró la más fina grabación de estas obras). Su grabación de las Sonatas para flauta y c/avecín de Bach, junto al flautista Joshua Smith, continúa despertando el interés de los críticos alrededor del mundo, mientras que su primera grabación para el sello Sano Luminus, con las obras completas para clavecín de Jean-Philippe Rameau, se lanzó en el verano de 2012.

  • Halloween-Themed “Haunted Hearts” Features Bach’S Brandenburg Concerto No
    Contact: Stefan Scherer-Emunds [email protected] (312) 957-0000 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Halloween-Themed “Haunted Hearts” Features Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 5, Piazzolla’s Oblivion, Herrmann’s Psycho Score & More Alongside Bone-Chilling Narration Chicago, IL – (September 21, 2016) Just in time for Halloween, the Chicago Philharmonic’s 2016-17 season dedicated to love continues October 30 with Haunted Hearts, conjuring up bittersweet past loves, nightmarish scenes, and the bug that got away. C.P.E. Bach’s Symphony No. 5, a devilishly difficult showpiece, sets the tone with its careening runs and shocking use of harmony. Piazzolla’s tango-infused Oblivion, Michael Nyman’s minimalistic Concerto for Amplified Harpsichord and Strings, and a suite from Bernard Herrmann’s cataclysmic Psycho score follow. Next, the orchestra performs Woolf’s evocative tonal soundscape, My Insect Bride. Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 – with its treacherous but beloved harpsichord cadenza – reminds the audience that it’s all in good fun after all. Tim Hopper of the Steppenwolf Theatre provides bone-chilling narration, and expert theremin player Mysterion performs eerie pre-concert music. Audience members are invited to come in costume.

Scott Speck leads the orchestra in his fourth season as artistic director. “The Chicago Philharmonic continues to astonish me with its spirit, virtuosity, and emotional range,” said Speck. “What comes across in every performance is a warmhearted, affectionate love of making music. We’ve decided to make that theme explicit in this year’s programming. It’s a season about love in its many forms.” Executive director Donna Milanovich said, “We are delighted to present our 2016-17 season, guided by our philosophy of mixing well-loved works with exciting newer compositions, programming thematically, and enhancing the music with collaborations that tie it all together.” For the first time in its 26-year history, the Chicago Philharmonic will include concerts in Chicago (Harris Theater) and Skokie (North Shore Center for the Performing Arts) in its symphonic season in addition to offerings at Evanston’s Pick-Staiger Hall, one of its longstanding venues.

  • Georg Friedrich Händel – HARPSICHORD SUITES, 1720 (Jory Vinikour, Harpsichord; Delos)
    2 1 M A Y 2 0 0 9 CD REVIEW: Georg Friedrich Händel – HARPSICHORD SUITES, 1720 (Jory Vinikour, harpsichord; Delos) Georg Friedrich Händel (1685 – 1759) - ‘GREAT’ SUITES FOR HARPSICHORD, 1720 (HWV 426 – 433), & CHACONNE IN G MAJOR (HWV 435): Jory Vinikour, harpsichord [recorded at First Scots Presbyterian Church, Charleston (SC), in 2008; Delos DE 3394] Händel’s 1720 suites for harpsichord have been at the peripheries of the performance and recorded repertories of many of the most celebrated keyboardists of the twentieth century, players as diverse as Glenn Gould and Thurston Dart, who performed the suites on a large variety of instruments ranging from period harpsichords to modern concert grand pianos. In music for the harpsichord, questions of which approaches are and are not properly stylish are not quite so prominent as with Baroque operas: knowing that a composer intended his work for the harpsichord, the construction of the instrument and its quintessential method of tonal production dictate to a certain degree the manner of execution required of the player. Music composed for the harpsichord invariably demands great dexterity, not merely in rapid-paced display pieces but also in slowe r, more thoughtful pieces (which, in the custom of the Baroque, often adopt dance forms) in which articulation is an important device of interpretation. This is perhaps more true of Händel’s harpsichord music than that of his closest rivals (Johann Sebastian Bach excepted). Händel’s music always displays a ‘public face,’ as it were, but differs from the music of many other Baroque composers in that the fugal complexities and intricate ornaments are not solely sequins sewn onto the garment so that the wearer sparkles in the glare.
