Johnsonk@Nyphil.Org FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE UPDATED November 15, 2017 October 12, 2017 Contact: Katherine E. Johnson (212) 875-5700; [email protected] GIANANDREA NOSEDA TO RETURN TO NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC CONCERTMASTER FRANK HUANG To Perform SAINT-SAËNS’s Violin Concerto No. 3 Program Also To Include RACHMANINOFF’s Symphony No. 3 RIMSKY-KORSAKOV’s The Legend of the Invisible City of Kitezh Suite Saturday Matinee Concert To Feature NIELSEN’s Wind Quintet Performed by Philharmonic Musicians November 22 and 24–25, 2017 Gianandrea Noseda will return to the New York Philharmonic to conduct Saint-Saëns’s Violin Concerto No. 3 with Concertmaster Frank Huang as soloist as well as two Russian works, Rachmaninoff’s Symphony No. 3 and Rimsky-Korsakov’s The Legend of the Invisible City of Kitezh Suite. The performances take place Wednesday, November 22, 2017, at 7:30 p.m.; Friday, November 24 at 8:00 p.m.; and Saturday, November 25 at 8:00 p.m. Gianandrea Noseda — Musical America’s Conductor of the Year in 2015 and International Opera Awards Conductor of the Year in 2016 — is acclaimed for his performances of Russian works, having served as principal guest conductor of the Mariinsky Theater for ten years, the first non-Russian to serve in that role. In its review of Mr. Noseda’s recordings of Rachmaninoff’s complete symphonies, American Record Guide wrote that “Noseda’s Third is the best recording of the work I’ve heard.” The Guardian praised his “superb account,” calling it “wonderfully restrained, almost haunted in its opening movement; quietly nostalgic in its central Adagio; and almost neurotically hyperactive in its finale.” In its review of Mr. Noseda’s most recent appearance with the Philharmonic, in October 2005, The New York Times said that “you had to appreciate the darkness of the tone he coaxed from the Philharmonic’s lower strings — a nice Russian touch.” Frank Huang joined the New York Philharmonic as Concertmaster in September 2015 and made his Philharmonic solo debut later that season, as leader and soloist in Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons. In its review of Mr. Huang’s January 2017 performance of another showpiece for violin by Saint-Saëns, the Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso, New York Classical Review wrote that “Huang was a brilliant showman, playfully brooding in the prologue and then keeping up that goofy flair for the duration.” (more) Gianandrea Noseda / Frank Huang / 2 The Saturday Matinee Concert on November 25 at 2:00 p.m. opens with Nielsen’s Wind Quintet performed by Philharmonic flutist Mindy Kaufman, oboist Robert Botti, Acting Associate Principal Clarinet Pascual Martínez Forteza, Principal Bassoon Judith LeClair, and Acting Principal Horn Richard Deane. The rest of the program features Rachmaninoff’s Symphony No. 3, conducted by Gianandrea Noseda. The Philharmonic completed The Nielsen Project — the Orchestra’s acclaimed multi-season survey of Nielsen’s complete symphonies and concertos led by then Music Director Alan Gilbert — in the 2014–15 season; Laureate Conductor Leonard Bernstein — who is being saluted in Bernstein’s Philharmonic: A Centennial Festival, October 25–November 14 — famously championed Nielsen’s music during his Philharmonic tenure as well. Artists Gianandrea Noseda was named the National Symphony Orchestra’s seventh music director in January 2016, and he began his four-year tenure this fall. He has served as music director of the Teatro Regio Torino since 2007, ushering in a transformative era for the company and garnering international acclaim for its productions, tours, recordings, and film projects. His visionary leadership and ambitious global touring initiatives over the last decade have made the opera house one of the world’s leading opera companies and one of Italy’s most important cultural ambassadors. He also serves as principal guest conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra and Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, principal conductor of the Orquestra de Cadaqués, and artistic director of Italy’s Stresa Festival. Highlights of Mr. Noseda’s 2017–18 season include appearances with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, Orchestre de Paris, and London Symphony Orchestra. He has worked with the Berlin Philharmonic; The Cleveland and Philadelphia Orchestras; NHK and Vienna Symphony Orchestras; Edinburgh International and Salzburg Festivals; Royal Opera House, Covent Garden; and Milan’s Teatro alla Scala, Orchestra della Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, and the Zurich Opera House. He also continues to work with the BBC Philharmonic, which he led from 2002 to 2011; Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, where he was principal guest conductor; and the Mariinsky Theatre, where he was the first- ever foreign principal guest conductor. Mr. Noseda’s relationship with The Metropolitan Opera dates back to 2002; in the 2016–17 season he conducted a new production of Gounod’s Roméo et Juliette, which received its premiere at the New Year’s Eve Gala. In May 2018 he leads the Met Orchestra at Carnegie Hall for the first time. His acclaimed recording activity includes more than 50 CDs. His Musica Italiana project, which he initiated more than ten years ago, chronicles underappreciated 20th- century Italian repertoire. A native of Milan, Gianandrea Noseda is Cavaliere Ufficiale al Merito della Repubblica Italiana for his contribution to the artistic life of Italy. He was Musical America’s Conductor of the Year in 2015 and International Opera Awards Conductor of the Year in 2016. Gianandrea Noseda made his New York Philharmonic debut in November 2003 leading music by Stravinsky, Shostakovich, and Prokofiev; he returned in October 2005 to conduct works by Bartók, Britten, Chopin, and Rachmaninoff with pianist Simon Trpčeski as soloist. Frank Huang joined the New York Philharmonic as Concertmaster, The Charles E. Culpeper Chair, in September 2015. The First Prize Winner of the 2003 Walter W. Naumburg Foundation’s Violin Competition and the 2000 Hannover International Violin Competition, he has established a major career as a violin virtuoso. Since performing with the Houston Symphony in a nationally broadcast concert at the age of 11 he has appeared with orchestras throughout the world including The Cleveland Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, Indianapolis Symphony, NDR (more) Gianandrea Noseda / Frank Huang / 3 Radio Philharmonic Orchestra of Hannover, Amadeus Chamber Orchestra, and the Genoa Orchestra. He has also performed on NPR’s Performance Today, ABC’s Good Morning America, and CNN’s American Morning with Paula Zahn. He has performed at Wigmore Hall (in London), Salle Cortot (Paris), Kennedy Center (Washington, D.C.), and the Herbst Theatre (San Francisco), as well as a second recital in Alice Tully Hall (New York), which featured the World Premiere of Donald Martino’s Sonata for Solo Violin. Mr. Huang’s first commercial recording — featuring fantasies by Schubert, Ernst, Schoenberg, and Waxman — was released on Naxos in 2003. He has had great success in competitions since the age of 15 and received top prize awards in the Premio Paganini International Violin Competition and the Indianapolis International Violin Competition. Other honors include Gold Medal Awards in the Kingsville International Competition, Irving M. Klein International Competition, and D’Angelo International Competition. In addition to his solo career, Mr. Huang is deeply committed to chamber music. He has performed at the Marlboro Music Festival, Ravinia’s Steans Institute, Seattle Chamber Music Festival, and Caramoor. He frequently participates in Musicians from Marlboro’s tours, and was selected by The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center to be a member of the prestigious CMS Two program. Before joining the Houston Symphony as concertmaster in 2010, Frank Huang held the position of first violinist of the Grammy Award–winning Ying Quartet and was a faculty member at the Eastman School of Music. He is an alumnus of the Music Academy of the West, a partner in the New York Philharmonic Global Academy, and serves on the faculties of The Shepherd School of Music at Rice University, also a New York Philharmonic Global Academy partner, and the University of Houston. Mr. Huang made his New York Philharmonic solo debut leading and performing Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons and Piazzolla’s Four Seasons of Buenos Aires, as well as leading Grieg’s The Last Spring in June 2016; most recently, in July 2017, he performed Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 5, Turkish, led by then Music Director Alan Gilbert at the Orchestra’s Bravo! Vail residency. Repertoire Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844–1908) composed The Legend of the Invisible City of Kitezh and the Maiden Fevronia, his penultimate opera, between 1903 and 1905, in the lead-up to the Russian Revolution of 1905. With a libretto by V.I. Belsky, the opera, which premiered in 1907, takes its inspiration from two Russian legends: that of the lakeside city of Kitezh being saved from destruction by the Tartars by becoming invisible, and the story of St. Fevronia, who, in the opera, saves the city by enveloping it in a fog. Although Rimsky-Korsakov usually created orchestral suites from his operas, he didn’t have the opportunity to do so before his death, in 1908. It fell to his student and son-in-law, Maximilian Steinberg (who was also later Shostakovich’s teacher), to create The Legend of the Invisible City of Kitezh Suite from four orchestral set pieces in the opera: the mystical forest prelude, Fevronia and Prince Vsevolod’s wedding preparations, the battle in which the Prince is killed, and the death of Fevronia and her heavenly reunion with the Prince in their invisible city. Valery Gergiev conducted the Philharmonic in its only previous presentation of this suite, in February 1994. Camille Saint-Saëns’s (1835–1921) Violin Concerto No. 3 has proven to be among the composer’s most popular works, and it ranks as the finest of his three violin concertos.

    WRITING ABOUT SHOSTAKOVICH Edinburgh International Festival 1962 Edinburgh Festival 1962 working cover design ay after day, the small, drab figure in the dark suit hunched forward in the front row of the gallery listening tensely. Sometimes he tapped his fingers nervously against his cheek; occasionally he nodded Dhis head rhythmically in time with the music. In the whole of his productive career, remarked Soviet Composer Dmitry Shostakovich, he had “never heard so many of my works performed in so short a period.” Time Music: The Two Dmitrys; September 14, 1962 In 1962 Shostakovich was invited to attend the Edinburgh Festival, Scotland’s annual arts festival and Europe’s largest and most prestigious. An important precursor to this invitation had been the outstanding British premiere in 1960 of the First Cello Concerto – which to an extent had helped focus the British public’s attention on Shostakovich’s evolving repertoire. Week one of the Festival saw performances of the First, Third and Fifth String Quartets; the Cello Concerto and the song-cycle Satires with Galina Vishnevskaya and Rostropovich. 31 DSCH JOURNAL No. 37 – July 2012 Edinburgh International Festival 1962 Rostropovich and Vishnevskaya in Edinburgh Week two heralded performances of the Preludes & Fugues for Piano, arias from Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk, the Sixth, Eighth and Ninth Symphonies, the Third, Fourth, Seventh and Eighth String Quartets and Shostakovich’s orches- tration of Musorgsky’s Khovanschina. Finally in week three the Fourth, Tenth and Twelfth Symphonies were per- formed along with the Violin Concerto (No. 1), the Suite from Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk, the Three Fantastic Dances, the Cello Sonata and From Jewish Folk Poetry.

  • 'Revolutionary' to 'Progressive': Musical Ationalism in Rimsky-Korsakov's
    From ‘revolutionary’ to ‘progressive’: Musical ationalism in Rimsky-Korsakov’s Russian Easter Overture © 2006 Helen. K. H. Wong “Can Byelayev’s circle be looked upon as a continuation of Balakirev’s? Was there a certain modicum of similarity between one and the other and what constituted the difference, apart from the change in personnel in the course of time? The similarity indicating that Byelayev’s circle was a continuation of Balakirev’s circle (in addition to the connecting links, consisted of the advanced ideas, the progressivism, common to the both of them. But Balakirev’s circle corresponded to the period of storm and stress in the evolution of Russian music; Byelayev’s circle represented the period of calm and onward march. Balakirev’s circle was revolutionary; Byelayev’s, on the other hand was progressive.” (Rimsky-Korsakov, My Musical Life, p. 286) “Who had changed, who had advanced – Balakirev or we? We, I suppose. We had grown, had learned, had been educated, had seen, and had heard; Balakirev, on the other hand, had stood stock-still, if, indeed, he had not slid back a trifle.” (Rimsky-Korsakov, My Musical Life, p. 286) By the time Rimsky-Korsakov wrote his “Russian Easter” Overture for Byelayev in 1888, the kuchka group, a group of five St. Petersburg composers which was once considered as “revolutionary” in its aesthetic ideal, was scattered. Musorgsky was no longer among the living, Borodin’s creativity came to a halt with his Prince Igor left unfinished, Cesar Cui no longer counted as a composer. Balakirev, although still a collaborator of Rimsky-Korsakov for their joint duties in the Imperial Court Chapel, was not only socially diverged from his younger colleague for his enmity towards Byelayev, but also had undergone some kind of ideological transformation himself.

It features the last two of his four string quartets, written in 1913–1925 while he was still living in St. Petersburg. Due to the turns and twists of the composer’s life these magnificent 20th-century chamber music opuses were performed extremely rarely after his death, thus the more pleasant discovery awaits all who will listen to these recordings. The Vilnius String Quartet has proceeded with a meaningful initiative to discover and resurrect those pages of Lithuanian quartet music that allow a broader view of Lithuanian music and testify to the internationality of our musical culture and connections with global music communities in momentous moments of the development of both Lithuanian and European music. In early stages of the 20th-century, not only Lithuanian national art, but also the concept of contemporary music and the ideas of international cooperation of musicians were formed on a global scale. Jurgis Karnavičius is a significant figure in Lithuanian music not only as a composer, having produced the first Lithuanian opera of the independence period – Gražina (based on a poem by Adam Mickiewicz) in 1933, but also as a personality, active in the orbit of the international community of contemporary musicians.

  • Goldman Nationallly Informed Full Draft 2
    Nationally Informed: The Politics of National Minority Music during Late Stalinism Leah Goldman, Reed College Introduction After consolidating its control over the former Russian Empire, the new Soviet state endeavored to distinguish itself from its imperial predecessor by demonstrating its support for the panoply of national minorities now under its jurisdiction. Imperial Russia had sought to Russify the peoples of its western borderlands and exert colonial dominance over those in the Caucasus and Central Asia. By contrast, Soviet officials made a concert- ed effort to celebrate the Union’s internal diversity and enable all national cultures to flourish. This strategy took a variety of forms, from creation of nationality-based autono- mous regions and republics, to promotion of titular nationalities into administrative posts through the policy of korenizatsiia, to establishment of indigenous-language educational and media institutions.1 It also had a profound effect on the official approach to cultural production, not least in the area of music. For Soviet leaders, supporting the musical cultures of the national minorities meant both granting a new sense of value to existing folk traditions and bringing those traditions into the present by creating a repertoire of folk-inflected operas, symphonies, and chamber works for each minority group. These dual processes got underway in the 1930s, after the Soviet Union’s internal borders were settled and the militant “proletarian- ism” of the Cultural Revolution gave way to the more staid, ethnocentric atmosphere of the Second Five Year Plan.2 As Marina Frolova-Walker has detailed, Russian composers initially took the lead.
