The Pastorale, a work showing clear Yalian influence, appears among the organ music written during the composer's time at Weimar. The Cantata Wachet auf was written for performance in Leipzig in 1731, while five different versions of 0 Haupt voll Blut und Wunden, 0 Sacred Head Sore Wounded, appear in the great setting of the Passion from the Gospel of St. Matthew. The Capella lstropolitana was founded in 1983 by members of the Slovak Philharmonic Orchestra, at first as a chamber orchestra and then as an orchestra large enough to tackle the standard classical repertoire. Based in Bratislava, its name drawn from the ancient name still presewed in the Academia Istropolitana, the historic university established in the Slovak and one-time Hungarian capital by Matthias Cowinus, the orchestra works principally in the recording studio. Other recordings by the orchestra in the Naxos series include The Best of Baroque Music, Bach's Brandenburg Concertos and Mozart's Eine kleine Nachtmusik. Richard Edllnger The Austrian conductor Richard Edlinger was born in Bregenz in 1958 and directed his first concerts at the age of seventeen. He completed his studiesat the Vienna Academy in conducting and composition in 1982, by which time he had already acquired considerable professional experience. He was the youngest finalist in the 1983 Guido Cantelli Conductors' Competition at La Scala, Milan. Since 1986 Richard Edlinger has been Artistic Director of the Capella Istropolitana, an orchestra with which he has undertaken regular tours in Europe.

Throughout the 2015/16 season, Muti and the Orchestra have honored the ensemble’s distinguished history with performances of works that received either their world or U.S. premieres from the CSO. The final season program includes two of these works—Bruckner’s Symphony No. 9, which was given its U.S. premiere by the CSO in 1904, and his choral masterwork, Te Deum, which was given its U.S. premiere by the CSO in 1892. Both premieres were led by the CSO’s first music director, Theodore Thomas. Muti opens his June residency with the CSO with a program (June 16–21) that includes Brahms’ Serenade No. 1 and Beethoven’s Violin Concerto with Julia Fischer as soloist. Originally composed as chamber music, Brahms later adapted his Serenade No. 1 for full orchestra, offering a preview of the rich compositional style that would emerge in his four symphonies. The six-movement work is filled with lyrical wind and string passages, as well as exuberant writing in the allegro and scherzo movements.

Fischer’s CSO appearances in June are endowed in part by the Nuveen Investments Emerging Artist Fund, which is committed to nurturing the next generation of great classical music artists. Julia Fischer joins Muti and the CSO for Beethoven’s Violin Concerto. Widely recognized as the first “Romantic” concerto, Beethoven’s lush and virtuosic writing in the work opened the traditional form to new possibilities for the composers who would follow him. The second half of the program features Brahms’ Serenade No. 1. Originally composed as chamber music, Brahms later adapted the work for full orchestra, offering a preview of the rich compositional style that would emerge in his four symphonies. The six-movement serenade is filled with lyrical wind and string passages, as well as exuberant writing in the allegro and scherzo movements. German violinist Julia Fischer won the Yehudi Menuhin International Violin Competition at just 11, launching her career as a solo and orchestral violinist.

The emergence of French statistics How mathematics entered the world of statistics in France during the 1920s Remi´ CATELLIER1 and Laurent MAZLIAK2 Abstract This paper concerns the emergence of modern mathematical statistics in France after First World War. Emile Borel’s achievements are presented, and especially his creation of two institutions where mathematical statistics were developed, the Statistical Institute of Paris University, (ISUP) in 1922 and above all the Henri Poincar´eInstitute (IHP) in 1928. At the IHP, a new journal Annales de l’Institut Henri Poincar was created in 1931. We present the first papers dealing with mathematical statistics. INTRODUCTION The important transformations in the field of the mathematics of randomness between around 1910 and 1930 are now rather well listed.

  • Toscanini X: Confluence and the Years of Greatness, 1948-1952
    Toscanini X: Confluence and the Years of Greatness, 1948-1952 Remarkably, for a conductor who had been before the public since 1886 and had been through several revolutions in musical style as well as conducting style—some of which he pio- neered—Toscanini had one more phase yet to go through. This was his rethinking the “cereal- shot-from-guns” style he had been through and how and where it might be applied to works he already knew as well as works he had yet to conduct or record for the first time. The single most important thing the listener has to come to grips with was that, despite his immense fame and influence on others, Toscanini never thought of himself as an interpreter of music. Many find this claim preposterous since he clearly imposed his personality and the way he heard music on all of his performances, but it happens to be true. “Blessed are the arts who do not need interpreters” was one of his battle-cries, and he included himself in this. He may have thought of himself as the “purest” of conductors because he always strove to get as close to the composers’ original conception of a score even when he tinkered with its structure and/or orches- tration, but tinker he did. What stands in the way of many listeners’ belief that Toscanini consi- dered himself a pure vessel of the composer’s thought is that incredible, almost uncanny energy he brought to everything he conducted. Toscanini’s performances were more, to him as well as to his audiences, than just classical music played by a master.
