Const. Dumitrescu) a dat un con- cert in sala Ateneului. Cu beneficiul realizat, 2000 lei cari pe vremea aceia insemnau ceva, tangrul acela increzgtor in talentul si steaua sa a plecat la Berlin, ca sA fac5 carierà. Nimeni nu ar fi putut prezice atunci strälucita ascensiune pe care a cunoscut-o George Georgescu. Complectându-si studiilela aceaseverà Hochschulefür Musik" din capitala Reich-ului, Georgescu nu a trebuit sä astepte mult páng s'a fie scos din anonimat. In anul 1914 a luat locul pro- fesorului s5u, Hugo Becker, in vestitul quartet de coarde, condus de Henri Marteau. Ca violoncelist al acestui mic, dar desgvarsit ansamblu, Geor- gescu a fAcut cea mai temeinica ucenicie muzicald. Nenumgratele concerte, pe cari quartetul Marteau" le a dat in Germania si in stráingtate, l'au avansat curând in rândul celor mai pretuiti solisti ai vremei. Un accident la mana stang5, survenit in 1918, l'a silit insa sa intrerupà cariera atAt de promitator inceputá. In locul violoncelului, definitiv si cu foarte mult regret aban- donat, Georgescu s'a vAzut silit sg-si valorifice intr'altfel talentul muzical cu care l'a d5ruit Natura. Si s'a decis sA deving dirijor. Hot5rArea a apärut temeraràchiar si celor cariin clasa de dirijat de la Hochschule für Musik" apreciaseràbagheta lui si- gur5 si animatoare. Sub egida marelui sef de orchestra Arthur Nikisch, de a cgrui simpatie Georgescu nu a incetat a se bucurai de ale cärui www.dacoromanica.ro II pretioase sfaturi a profitat mereu, transformarea s'a efectuat to- tusi si intr'un timp relativ destul de scurt. In Octombrie 1919, George Georgescu a putut astfel debutaca dirijor la Berlin, in fruntea orchestrei filarmonice. Succesul a fost triumfal si presa berlinezgl'a subliniat in mod deosebit.Ecoul acestei biruinte romanestia ajuns firestesi pang la Bucuresti, unde Dimitrie Dinicu, obosit si bolnav, conducea orchestra simfo- nica a Ministerului Instructiunei publice". La 4 Ianuarie 1920, dirijorul Georgescu a aparut pentru prima oara pe podiulAteneului. Pe programul saufigurauatunci uvertura Euryanthe" de Weber, simfonia in Mi bemol" de Mozart si simfonia a cincea de Beethoven. Nu ne amintin ca Ateneul Roman s'a fi cunoscut multe trium- furi, ca acela pe care I-a declansat aceasta neasteptatg revelatie artistica. George Georgescu a pash atunci cu piciorul drept,decis de sigur sa desmintg proverbul ea' nimeni nu este profet in tara lui. Dimitrie Dinicu s'a inclinat in fata realitgtei si a cedat pentru totdeauna bagheta colegului sail mai tanar. Mergand din triumf in triumf,George Georgescua dirijat neintrerupt 'Dana la sfarsitul stagiunei, care s'a incheiat neobisnuit de tarziu, sub semnul unei victorii definitiv castigate. Si atunci s'a intamplat un lucru unicin analele muzicale, anume acela cd s'a creat o societate pe actiuni, cu capital subscris de 2 milioane lei, cu unicul scop de a injgheba si de a pune la dis- pozitialui George Georgescuo orchestra demng de marele eau talent. Stdruim asupra cuvantului unic", pentru cg inteadevar nu se cunoaste alt caz de creare a unei orchestre speciale pentru un anu- mit dirijor. D-1 prof. Mihail Jora, astazi directorul Conservatorului Regal de muzicg,a evidentiat acest fenomen,intr'un judicios articol publicat in revista Viata romaneasca (Ianuarie 1921). Dar tot domnia-sa a fost acela care a prezisviata scurtg de care avea sä se bucure societateape actiuni Filar m onic a, al carei prospect de fundatiune fusese lansat Inca dela 4 Aprilie 1920, in toiul succeselor Georgescu. Vechia orchestra a Ministerului Instructiuni publice" a fost desfiintat, iar in locul ei a fost alcatuitg o alta,formatg in mare parte din elemente importate dela Viena, infatisand un impung tor ansamblu de apcoape 100 persoane. www.dacoromanica.ro III Era fatal cà intretinerea unei atari orchestre sa fie mai costi- sitoare, cleat se crezuse. Dupd un an numai, Societatea Filarmonica lupta cu greutati materiale, iar dupa doi ani, la 15 August 1922, se vedea nevoita sa depuna armele, ne mai putAnd face fata situatiei. Muzicantii lasati in voia soartei, ar fi luat de sigur alte dru- muri, daca in ultimul moment nu s'ar fi produs salvatoarea inter- ventie a Fundatiei culturale Principe le Carol", care raspunzand menirei ei firesti, a decis infiintarea unei orchestre simfonice, inde- pendentà de fosta Societate pe actiuni,subventionatainsade Stat. Orchestra infiintata pe ziva de 1 Octombrie 1922 de catre Fun- datia culturala Principe le Carol"a pastrat totusi titulatura de Filarmonica". Dupd doi ani de functionare in conditiuni destul de grele, Fun- datia s'a vazut nevoitäsa inchirieze orchestra Operei RomAne", care in 1921 luase fiinta ca Institutie de Stat.Operatia aceasta a fost mult usurata de faptul CA la acea epoca, George Georgescu era oidirectorul Operei Rom Ane.

MaestrulGeorge Georgescua fostneintreruptincapul -orchestrei, cu singura exceptie a stagiunei 1926-1927, cAnd a fost angajat in State le Unite. Numele lui a ramas astfel indisolubil legat de orchestra, careia a daruit cei mai frumosi ani ai vietei si care gratie lui,a putut atinge acel nivel artistic, astazi unanim recunoscut si pretuit atAt in tart cat si in strainatate. Cei dougzeci de ani de activitate muzicala, pe cari Filarrnortzea ii serbeaza astazi, au insemnat insa nu numai realizari necontestate pe tarAmul celei mai nobile arte. Au insernnat si luptã grea pentru definitiva incetatenire a muzicei simfonice in tara noastra, precum si pentru impunerea orchestrei ca unul din cele mai pretioase in- strurnente de propaganda culturala si nationala.

  • Muzicieni Români În Texte Şi Documente Fondul Constantin Silvestri
    MUZICA nr.1/2010 Viorel COSMA Muzicieni români în texte şi documente Fondul Constantin Silvestri Viaţa şi activitatea artistică a compozitorului şi dirijorului Constantin Silvestrei (1913- 1969) a cunoscut două etape, complet diferite: înainte de 1959 (când a avut domiciliul în ţară) şi după 1961 (când s-a stabilit definitiv în străinătate). Materialul documentar din prima perioadă a fost parţial valorificată de Eugen Pricope (în monografia dedicată maestrului, publicată în 1975), în timp ce scrisorile, fotografiile şi sutele de articole din presa străină din ultimul deceniu al vieţii muzicianului au rămas în posesia celei de a doua soţii, Regina-Pupa Silvestri, şi a muzeografului Romeo Drăghici, primul director al Muzeului „George Enescu”. După moartea lui Constantin Silvestri, arhiva s-a risipit, o parte din corespondenţa Silvestri/Drăghici intrând în posesia Arhivelor Istorice de Stat a Municipiului Bucureşti, în timp ce majoritatea cronicilor muzicale şi programelor de sală de la Bournemouth (Anglia) mi-au fost trimise de soţia dirijorului pentru redactarea articolului din lexiconul Muzicieni din România, vol. VIII, 2005. Prin amabilitatea colegului meu Ioan Holender, directorul general al Operei de Stat din Viena, am intrat în posesia unui corpus de texte inedite adresate lui Constantin Silvestri (scrisori de la Mihail Jora, Dinu Lipatti etc.), documente care vor vedea lumina tiparului în revista Muzica, nr. 2/2010.

    DOI: 10.2478/ajm-2020-0004 Artes. Journal of Musicology Constantin Silvestri, the problematic musician. New press documents ALEX VASILIU, PhD “George Enescu” National University of Arts ROMANIA∗ Abstract: Constantin Silvestri was a man, an artist who reached the peaks of glory as well as the depths of despair. He was a composer whose modern visions were too complex for his peers to undestand and accept, but which nevertheless stood the test of time. He was an improvisational pianist with amazing technique and inventive skills, and was obsessed with the score in the best sense of the word. He was a musician well liked and supported by George Enescu and Mihail Jora. He was a conductor whose interpretations of any opus, particularly Romantic, captivate from the very first notes; the movements of the baton, the expression of his face, even one single look successfully brought to life the oeuvres of various composers, endowing them with expressiveness, suppleness and a modern character that few other composers have ever managed to achieve. Regarded as a very promising conductor, a favourite with the audiences, wanted by the orchestras in Bucharest in the hope of creating new repertoires, Constantin Silvestri was nevertheless quite the problematic musician for the Romanian press. Newly researched documents reveal fragments from this musician’s life as well as the features of a particular time period in the modern history of Romanian music. Keywords: Romanian press; the years 1950; socialist realism. 1. Introduction The present study is not necessarily occasioned by the 50th anniversary of Constantin Silvestri’s death (23rd February 1969).

    [Q]o~~ DIGITAL AUDIO PASC490 Constantin Silvestri in Philadelphia, 1961 Constantin-Nicolae Silvestri (3 1 May 191 3, Bucharest - 23 February 1969, London) was a Romanian conductor and composer. Born of Austro-Italian-Romanian stock, was brought up mostly by his mother, his father dying from alcoholism, and his stepfather dying- when the boy was 16. He had learnt how to play the piano and organ before the age of six. He played the piano in public at I O and was a skilled improviser. He studied at the Tclrgu Mures Conservatoire, and later at the Bucharest Conservatoire. Despite not having iaken conducting classes, he was already appearing as conductor in his teens, making his debut in 1930 with the Bucharest Radio Symphony Orchestra in a concert which included The Rite of Spring and his own composition Prelude and Fugue (Toccata). Silvestri's success in this 1930 National Radio Orchestra of Romania concert persuaded him to follow conducting as a career. He conducted at the Romanian National Opera from 1935 on, and, following the brief tenures of two caretakers, he also directed the Bucharest Philhannonic Orchestra for six years as successor to George Georgescu, in disgrace as a Nazi collaborator. Georgescu, ironically, assumed directorship of the Radio Orchestra; following Silvestri's emigration to the West, Georgescu would resume his place at the head of the Philhannonic, shortly thereafter renamed the George Enescu Philhannonic. From 1948 to 1956, Silvestri taught at the Bucharest Conservatoire (Conservatorul din Bucure§ti), where he founded its Conducting Department. Among Silvestri's students were Sergiu Comissiona, Marius Constant, Anatol Vieru, IosifConta, Edgar Cosma.
