Additionally, he became the third music director of the Metropolitan Opera, beginning with the 2018-19 season. Yannick, who holds the Walter and Leonore Annenberg Chair, is an inspired leader of The Philadelphia Orchestra. His intensely collaborative style, deeply rooted musical curiosity, and boundless enthusiasm, paired with a fresh approach to orchestral programming, have been heralded by critics and audiences alike. The New York Times has called him “phenomenal,” adding that under his baton, “the ensemble, famous for its glowing strings and homogenous richness, has never sounded better.” Yannick has established himself as a musical leader of the highest caliber and one of the most thrilling talents of his generation. He has been artistic director and principal conductor of Montreal’s Orchestre Métropolitain since 2000, and in summer 2017 he became an honorary member of the Chamber Orchestra of Europe. He was music director of the Rotterdam Philharmonic from 2008 to 2018 (he is now honorary conductor) and was principal guest conductor of the London Philharmonic from 2008 to 2014. He has made wildly successful appearances with the world’s most revered ensembles and has conducted critically acclaimed performances at many of the leading opera houses. Yannick signed an exclusive recording contract with Deutsche Grammophon (DG) in May 2018. Under his leadership The Philadelphia Orchestra returned to recording with three CDs on that label. His upcoming recordings will include projects with The Philadelphia Orchestra, the Metropolitan Opera, the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, and the Orchestre Métropolitain, with which he will also continue to record for ATMA Classique. Additionally, he has recorded with the Rotterdam Philharmonic on DG, EMI Classics, and BIS Records, and the London Philharmonic for the LPO label. A native of Montreal, Yannick studied piano, conducting, composition, and chamber music at Montreal’s Conservatory of Music and continued his studies with renowned conductor Carlo Maria Giulini; he also studied choral conducting with Joseph Flummerfelt at Westminster Choir College. Among Yannick’s honors are an appointment as Companion of the Order of Canada; an Officer of the Order of Montreal; Musical America’s 2016 Artist of the Year; the Prix Denise-Pelletier; and honorary doctorates from the University of Quebec in Montreal, the Curtis Institute of Music, Westminster Choir College of Rider University, McGill University, and the University of Pennsylvania.

  • 3 Italian Opera Composers June 2020
    Italian Culture June 2020 Dear Italian Culture Friends I thought that it might be interesting to look this week at the work of three Italian Opera Composers who later composed some liturgical works. In the case of two of the composers, we invariably think of their operatic output. These are Giuseppe Verdi and Gioachino Rossini. The third of them, Cherubini, also wrote a number of operas before turning to liturgical music In 1831 Rossini travelled to Spain with a friend, a banker named Alexandre Aguado, owner of Chateau Margaux, famous for its Bordeaux wine (claret). While he was there, he was commissioned by Fernández Varela, a state councillor, to write a setting of the liturgical text, the Stabat Mater. Although he began the work in 1831, it was not until 1841 that the final form was completed. It was premiered on Holy Saturday 1833 in the Chapel of San Felipe el Real in Madrid but this was the only performance of that version. The choice of Holy Saturday was appropriate as the work tells part of the story of the previous day, Good Friday, and perhaps it was the rush to complete it in time for that first performance which caused Rossini’s dissatisfaction with that version and caused him to continue to revise it. In fact, the first version was not solely the work of Rossini. It was a twelve-part piece of which Rossini had written Parts 1 and 5-9. His friend, Giovanni Tadolini, had written the rest but Rossini claimed it as his own work. Rossini, the product of a musical family from Pesaro, on the Adriatic coast - his father was a trumpeter and his mother a singer - had published his first composition at the age of 18 and the next year he was contracted to write operas and manage theatres in Naples.

  • Pergolesi Giovanni Battista
    PERGOLESI GIOVANNI BATTISTA Compositore italiano (Iesi, Ancona, 4 I 1710 - Pozzuoli, Napoli, 17 III 1736) 1 Il bisnonno, F. Draghi, si era trasferito, intorno al 1635, da Pergola a Iesi. Il suo primogenito, Cruciano, sposò una donna di Iesi. Dall'ora la famiglia si chiamò Pergolesi e con questo nome anche Giovanni Battista Pergolesi firma, per esempio, il frontespizio dello Stabat Mater ed il Laudate pueri; perciò la grafia Pergolesi deve considerarsi autentica. Fin da fanciullo fu di gracile costituzione e soffrì ad una gamba. I suoi fratelli morirono giovani. Il ragazzo godette la protezione della piccola nobiltà di Iesi, ricevette il primo insegnamento di violino da F. Mondini, proveniente da Bologna e direttore della cappella comunale di Iesi, mentre il direttore della cappella del duomo, F. Santi, gli insegnò il contrappunto. A Iesi, come hanno accertato gli storici musicali locali, erano frequenti le esecuzioni pubbliche di drammi e di intermezzi, nel palazzo municipale, e probabilmente il giovane Pergolesi vi poté ascoltare musiche di A. Scarlatti e di A. Caldara. Secondo G. Santini, sarebbe stato il marchese Cardolo Maria Pianetti a mandare a Napoli il ragazzo per completarne l'istruzione. Studiò comunque nel conservatorio dei Poveri di Gesù Cristo (lo si ritrova sotto il nome di "Iesi" nelle liste, del resto lacunose, a partire dal 1725) ed entrò nella classe di violino diretta da D. De Matteis. Ma il suo talento si rivelò più rapidamente nella classe di composizione di G. Greco (fino al 1728) e poi di F. Durante, mentre la sua più vasta cerchia d'interessi si estendeva a F.
