INCONCERT 33 TONIGHT’S CONCERT AT A GLANCE AARON JAY KERNIS Symphony No. 4, “Chromelodeon” • New York City-based composer Kernis has earned the Pulitzer Prize in Music and the prestigious Grawemeyer Award, as well a 2019 GRAMMY® nomination for Best Contemporary Classical Composition. (Winners had not yet been announced at the time of the program guide’s printing.) He also serves as workshop director for the Nashville Symphony’s Composer Lab & Workshop. • The title of his latest symphony, “Chromelodeon,” comes from an unusual word previously used by maverick American composer Harry Partch to describe one of his musical inventions. As defined by the composer, this word aptly describes his own creation here: “chromatic, colorful, melodic music performed by an orchestra.” • The idea of color is especially significant in Kernis’ work, as the composer has synesthesia, a condition that associates specific notes and chords and with distinct colors.

  • The 2009/10 Concert Season Marks the 200Th Anniversary of the Births of Both Felix Mendelssohn and Robert Schumann
    May 5, 2010 at 9:00 on PBS Emanuel Ax, Yo-Yo Ma, Itzhak Perlman @ the Penthouse The 2009/10 concert season marks the 200th anniversary of the births of both Felix Mendelssohn and Robert Schumann. Musicians everywhere have been commemorating those anniversaries all season long. Our next Live From Lincoln Center, on Wednesday evening May 5, will join the world-wide celebration with a very special program originating in Lincoln Center's unique Kaplan Penthouse. More about the program and performers in a moment. Some 70 years ago RCA Victor Records brought together three of its reigning instrumental masters for the purpose of recording some of the cornerstones of the Trio literature for piano, violin and cello. They were violinist Jascha Heifetz, pianist Artur Rubinstein, and cellist Emanuel Feuermann. So important was that pairing that a feature article about their collaboration appeared in what was then the leading weekly publication in the country, Life Magazine. The writer dubbed the Heifetz-Rubinstein-Feuermann combination "The Million Dollar Trio", and the resultant recordings are regarded as classics to this day. And another spectacular threesome played together in the White House during the Presidency of John F Kennedy: violinist Isaac Stern; cellist Pablo Casals; and pianist Mieczyslaw Horszowski. If one were to try to emulate those combinations with artists of today, the choices inevitably would be Itzhak Perlman, violin; Emanuel Ax, piano; and Yo-Yo Ma, cello. And it is precisely those three who will form our Trio on May 5! The three of them are old friends who enjoy each others company socially as well as musically.

He was widely regarded as an enfant terrible writing in an advanced and difficult musical style, but some of his works had been performed in Paris already under the sponsorship of conductor Serge Koussevitzky, so he had hopes of attracting attention. In order to support himself while working on the new symphony, he accepted a commission from Romanov's "Wandering Ballets," a company that planned to tour a series of short ballets with an "orchestra" of but five instruments.

  • ARSC Journal
    A COMPLETE DISCOGRAPHY OF THE RECORDI~GS OF EMANUEL FEUERMANN by Jon Samuels Copyright@ 1980 by Jon Samuels, All Rights Reserved. Emanuel Feuermann was born in Galicia, Kolomea (then controlled by the Austrian Empire, now part of the Soviet Union) on November 22, 1902. He died less than forty years later in New York City on May 25, 1942. It was an especially tragic loss, because it was so totally unnecessary, occurring as the result of a minor operation. Despite his short life, he left a lasting impression on the music world, convincing a significant portion of them that he was not only the greatest 'cellist of the twentieth century, but perhaps its finest string instrumentalist as well. It seems ironic that Feuermann, who spent much of his career in the shadow of the reknowned older 'cellist, Pablo Casals, should have his life cut down just after he had established his own world-wide reputation and that the then-retired Catalan should renew his concert career and continue to perform for more than thirty years after Feuermann's untimely demise. Due to this, many people are completely unaware of the legacy Feuermann has bequeathed to us, through his fairly extensive recordings. A fact that should not be overlooked in comparing the recordings of Casals and Feuermann, however, is that Casals cut his first discs (in 1915) at the same age (thirty-nine) that Feuermann cut his last. Yet in listening to Feuermann's playing, one becomes aware that it is unmatched, that the uniquely rich "Feuermann tone" demonstrates the way the 'cello can and should be played.
