The Ethics of Orchestral Conducting
Theory of Conducting – Chapter 1 The Ethics of Orchestral Conducting In a changing culture and a society that adopts and discards values (or anti-values) with a speed similar to that of fashion as related to dressing or speech, each profession must find out the roots and principles that provide an unchanging point of reference, those principles to which we are obliged to go back again and again in order to maintain an adequate direction and, by carrying them out, allow oneself to be fulfilled. Orchestral Conducting is not an exception. For that reason, some ideas arise once and again all along this work. Since their immutability guarantees their continuance. It is known that Music, as an art of performance, causally interlinks three persons: first and closely interlocked: the composer and the performer; then, eventually, the listener. The composer and his piece of work require the performer and make him come into existence. When the performer plays the piece, that is to say when he makes it real, perceptive existence is granted and offers it to the comprehension and even gives the listener the possibility of enjoying it. The composer needs the performer so that, by executing the piece, his work means something for the listener. Therefore, the performer has no self-existence but he is performer due to the previous existence of the piece and the composer, to whom he owes to be a performer. There exist a communication process between the composer and the performer that, as all those processes involves a sender, a message and a receiver.

Eine Weltkarriere scheint auf ihn zu warten. Doch dann sucht der Krieg Europa heim, alles kommt anders… Im Juli 1937 hat der 18jährige Henryk Szeryng gerade einmal 8 Monate in Paris studiert, als er sein Studium am Konservatorium beim Abschlusskonzert mit dem Prestigeträchtigen und begehrten ersten Preis der Kohorte abschließt. Neben Szeryng erhält der ebenfalls bald zur Weltelite gehörende Geiger Yfrah Neaman diese Auszeichnung. Der später legendäre Solist und langjährige Star-Konzertmeister der Berliner Philharmoniker, Michel Schwalbé, bekommt dagegen nur den zweiten Preis. Ein Detail am Rande, das immerhin illustriert, was für ein Niveau die Pariser Professoren in dieser Prüfungsphase 1937 serviert bekommen. In einigen biografischen Abrissen (ausführliche Biografien gibt es noch nicht) liest man nun, Szeryngs Eltern hätten ihm zum Pariser Abschluss eine wertvolle Geige das Cremoneser Meisters Andrea Guarneri geschenkt.

July 18, 2002, 8:00 P.M
LIVE FROM LINCOLN CENTER July 18, 2002, 8:00 p.m. on PBS Lincoln Center Festival/New York Philharmonic Kurt Masur's 75th Birthday & Farewell "Thank you, Kurt Masur" has been the season-long motto of the New York Philharmonic. Indeed, there is much for which to thank Mr. Masur. His 11 seasons as the Orchestra's Music Director have seen a dramatic improvement in the Philharmonic's performance standards as well as a discipline in its playing that have laid to rest the one-time canard that the players of the New York Philharmonic are an unruly bunch. Concert after concert during the Masur years the Philharmonic has shown that it can stand comparison with the greatest orchestras anywhere in the world. The 2001-2002 season has been Mr. Masur's final one as Music Director, though he will return for a number of weeks next season as a Guest Conductor. To put the seal on the Masur tenure, as well as to celebrate the Maestro's 75th birthday, a special concert by the New York Philharmonic has been scheduled in Avery Fisher Hall for Thursday evening, July 18. Characteristically, Mr. Masur has devised a program that beams a spotlight on a number of the orchestra's principal players. Happily, we'll be in Avery Fisher Hall that evening with our cameras and microphones to bring that concert to you live in our continuing Live From Lincoln Center series. The concert will begin with a demonstration of the corporate excellence of the players-the Overture to Candide by Leonard Bernstein (himself a former Music Director of the Philharmonic), performed by the orchestra without conductor! I remember a similar conductorless Candide Overture performance as a memorial to Bernstein in Carnegie Hall with musicians from several of the orchestras with whom he had particularly close associations, among them the Philharmonic, of course, as well as the Boston Symphony, the London Symphony, the Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam, and the Vienna Philharmonic.
