Leif Ove Andsnes Piano

The New York Times has called Leif Ove Andsnes “The most interesting pianist of his generation,” noting that “gorgeous tone, fleet-fingered technique, rhythmic integrity and textural clarity” are the hallmarks of his pianism.

The 2004/05 is a particularly exciting season for Andsnes as he is the youngest ever Carnegie Hall ‘Perspectives’ Artist. The series, launched in October 2004 and runs until May 2005, involves him performing at the Hall in recital, with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, with Christian Tetzlaff and with Ian Bostridge, as well as performing in a series of chamber music concerts at the Zankel Hall in the Carnegie complex. Also in the 2004/05 he returns to the Cleveland Orchestra and performs recitals in cities from London, Paris, Lucerne and Venice to New York, Chicago and Los Angeles.

Highlights of Andsnes’ 2003/04 season included a series of concerts on tour with the Camerata Academica des Mozarteums Salzburg, which he directed from the keyboard; concerts with the London Symphony Orchestra; the Oslo Philharmonic; a worldwide televised performance at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony; and a tour of the USA with the Zurich Tonhalle Orchestra. Andsnes also devised a special residency project focusing on the works of Schumann which saw him perform in London, Vienna, Brussels and Amsterdam in Spring 2004; both in recital and in chamber music concerts with the Artemis Quartet, Christian and Tanya Tetzlaff and Ian Bostridge.

Leif Ove Andsnes is a staunch champion of chamber music and serves as Co-Artistic Director of the Risor Chamber Music Festival in Norway, an annual event which draws some of the most esteemed classical performers to Norway, such as Ian Bostridge, Barbara Hendricks, Maxim Vengerov and Gidon Kremer.

His critically acclaimed discography of nearly two dozen recordings includes three Gramophone Award-winners. He has twice won the Best Concerto category – in 2000 for his recordings of Haydn Piano Concerti Nos 3, 4 & 11, and in 2004 for his performances of the Grieg and Schumann piano concertos. In 2002 his recording of Grieg’s Lyric Pieces was announced as the Gramophone Award’s Recording of the Year. He is currently recording a series of Schubert albums featuring the composer’s late sonatas innovatively paired with selected Schubert songs with tenor Ian Bostridge.

Leif Ove Andsnes’ latest recording with the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra features Mozart Piano Concertos No 9, Jeune homme, K271 and No 18, K456. Recently released by EMI Classics, this recording has been a huge success, especially in Norway where it topped the Pop Charts in the week before Christmas. 12 ᅥ྆ᓯʍOrchestra Profile

Norwegian Chamber Orchestra

The Norwegian Chamber Orchestra (NCO) became a permanent ensemble in 1977 when it made its debut under the leadership of Terje Tønnesen, who is still the Orchestra's artistic director. Over the years he worked together with the late Iona Brown, who until 2001 was the music and artistic director. Under their direction, the NCO's schedule has become increasingly concentrated and far-reaching.

The NCO's first recording quickly established the Orchestra’s international reputation; the Gramophone critic simply wrote “No record has given me more pleasure and few as much”.

The NCO regularly gives a series of subscription concerts in Oslo and frequently performs in other cities in Norway and Scandinavia. From 1995 the Orchestra has presented the Winter Nights Festival in Oslo every second year.

Concert appearances have included performances at the London Proms and other major UK cities, the Baltic countries, Italy, Spain, Canada, and a tour in the US with concerts at Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center. In 2001 the Orchestra was invited as Festival Musicians of the Year by the Bergen International Festival.

Over the years the NCO has worked with major soloists such as Mstislav Rostropovich, Maurice André, Joshua Bell, Thomas Zehetmair, Christian Tetzlaff, Andrew Manze, Fabio Biondi, Angela Hewitt, Joanna MacGregor and Truls Mørks. It has developed a very wide repertoire, from Baroque music to contemporary works for chamber orchestras.

The Norwegian Chamber Orchestra has won several awards, most recently the 2000 Gramophone Concerto Award for its recording of three of Haydn's Concertos, with Leif Ove Andsnes.

The Orchestra’s artistic relationship with Leif Ove Andsnes has been particularly fruitful and has led to the pianist joining the Orchestra as Principal Guest Director from the 2003 season.

Terje Tønnesen is among Norway’s leading violinists, and plays an important role in Norwegian music life through his function as Artistic Director of the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra and concert master of the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra. He has also been a regular soloist with the other major Norwegian orchestras.

In 1972, the 17 year old Tønnesen made a sensational debut. “A dazzling debut with hardly any parallel”, as an Oslo paper reported. After five years of study with Max Rostal in Switzerland, he was engaged as Artistic Director of the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra in 1977.

Tønnesen has won several international awards and has been on tour in Europe, the US, China and Russia. During his career he has worked with musicians such as Mstislav Rostropovich, Maurice André and James Galway. His recordings as an orchestra leader have received the highest praise in the international music press.

Tønnesen has recorded Grieg’s Sonatas for Violin, Hallgrímsson’s Poemi and Shostakovich’s Second Violin Concerto for the European Broadcast Union. He has also performed Terje Rypdal’s Unisonus, a commission especially written for him.

He has given concerts as a soloist in Germany, England, Portugal and South America and with a number of orchestras in the Nordic countries. ຝ͌Programme 17

Piano Concerto No 11 in D major Joseph Haydn (1732-1809)

During the early 1780s Haydn began to look beyond his duties as music director to the princely Esterházy family, and respond to a growing public demand for his music. His symphonies and concertos increasingly found their way into concerts not only in nearby Vienna, but in Paris and London too.

Unlike his young contemporary, Mozart, Haydn left only a handful of keyboard concertos, none of them well-known today. From this time comes a single set of three concertos that could be played either on harpsichord, or the then increasingly popular pianoforte. All are scored for strings with pairs of horns and oboes. The Concerto in D, first revived in a modern performance as recently as the 1930s, shares the vibrant characteristics of Haydn’s better-known piano sonatas and trios, and has a splendid example of Haydn’s trademark ‘Hungarian’ rondos as finale. Its manuscript source (though not in Haydn’s own hand) includes cadenzas.

Symphony No 5 in B flat major, D 485 Franz Schubert (1797-1828)

In 1816, the political situation in Vienna was terrible. Depressed, economically and artistically, in the wake of the Congress of Vienna (1814-15), the city was mired in gloom. It was a time of despondency for liberals like Schubert and his circle, who were now witnessing the full force of Chancellor Metternich’s repressive policies. In September, however, one of his friends noted: “Schubert is coming, and the somewhat leaden vapours of the moment will be lifted by his melodies”.

In this Symphony too, Schubert is at his happiest. So impatient is he to launch into the gorgeously exuberant opening theme that his attempt at a solemn introduction falters after a few soft chords from the winds. The exotic and colourful Andante is followed by a Menuetto that is courtly and rustic by turns, with a finale whose scintillating theme could almost have come from Mozart’s pen.

Langsam und Schmachtend Eivind Buene (1973-)

Eivind Buene has cut a strong profile as one of the most versatile among the younger generation of Norwegian composers. His work Langsam und Schmachtend was commissioned by the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra and first performed during the Ultima 2003 Contemporary Music Festival in Oslo, conducted by HK Gruber.

The composer aroused wide interest with his orchestral piece In a Network of Lines, when it was performed by the Oslo Sinfonietta during the Oslo Chamber Music Festival in 1999. Between 1999 and 2001 Eivind Buene was Composer-in- Residence with the Oslo Sinfonietta, a period he considers “immensely instructive”. Like several of his contemporaries, Buene has a positive view on breaking boundaries and established genres, as well as mixing musical forms. To some extent this reflects his past experience as a pop musician, although this is not felt too strongly in his work as a serious composer. However, his multifaceted background makes it natural for him to take an eclectic approach, continually seeking new angles to use in his work as a composer.

In Eivind Buene’s own words: Langsam und Schmachend is an attempt at writing slow music. The work consists of a series of condensing and dissolving musical memories. The music makes a halt and lingers at short moments; small movements are enlarged and sustained. The title is Richard Wagner’s tempo marking from the Prelude to Tristan und Isolde. I have worked on treating material from the western music history canon in several of my works, and Tristan and Isolde is one of this history’s true icons. Langsam und Schmachtend is a meditation on the first minute of Wagner’s work. Not primarily on the famous ‘Tristan chord’, but rather on the rising and falling movements and the friction between melodic lines and harmonic layers. This material forms the basis for musical movements that gradually develop independently of the Wagnerian starting point.

Langsam und Schmachtend is dedicated to my daughter Rikke, who was born while I was composing this work. Consequently, it does not seem unnatural that the music fades out with a lullaby.

Piano Concerto No 17 in G major, K 453 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791)

Mozart composed this concerto for Vienna’s summer season of 1783. He probably premiered it at a concert attended by the Emperor in April, after which, luckily, he also wrote down for posterity his originally improvised cadenzas for the first two movements. His pupil, Babette Ployer, gave a second performance in June. Typical of his Viennese concertos is the inventive use of winds. Oboes, bassoons, horns and a single flute at times seem almost to share in the piano’s solo role, providing elegant counter-melodies while the strings are relegated to be mere accompanists.

In the opening movement, the solidity of the orchestral introduction and its reprises contrasts with the virtuosic display of the solo episodes. The Andante opens gently but moves more grandly through distant keys. The finale is in two parts: the first a set of variations, the second a Presto coda whose new theme facilitates a euphoric rush toward the end.

Holberg Suite in G major, Op 40 Edvard Grieg (1843-1907)

In 1884 Grieg was invited to contribute to the celebrations of the bicentenary of the birth of one of his nation’s great writers, Ludvig Holberg (1684-1754). As well as a cantata, sung at the unveiling of a statue of Holberg in Bergen’s main square, Grieg composed, for string orchestra alone, what has since come to be known simply as the Holberg Suite. For anyone familiar with Grieg’s Piano Concerto or his Peer Gynt Suite, the Holberg Suite’s old-world feel may come as a surprise.

However, its full title, From Holberg’s Time: A Suite in the Olden Style, leaves no doubt that this is precisely as Grieg intended it. Naturally, Holberg’s close musical contemporaries, Bach and Handel (both born only a year later in 1685), loom large in Grieg's selection of typical Baroque dance forms as the basis of the five contrasted movements of his delightful and unassuming tribute.

Piano Concerto No 18 in B flat major, K 456 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791)

The busiest times of Mozart's year were the seasons of Lent and Advent, when the Church ordered Vienna’s opera houses and theatres closed. Music lovers, forced to eschew more spectacular entertainment, flocked instead to concerts of instrumental music in private halls or residences. Wealthy householders sponsored whole series of ‘academies’ (as these concerts were called) for the amusement of court and business associates.

This Concerto, the fifth of a record six Mozart composed in 1784, was finished late in September ready for the Advent season. He dedicated it to a friend, the talented blind pianist Maria Theresia Paradies, who was then performing in Paris and London. As Mozart had described his piano concertos a couple of years earlier, the new work was “somewhere midway between difficult and easy; brilliant; pleasant on the ear, but not vapid. Some moments, only connoisseurs will understand, yet non-connoisseurs will be enchanted without knowing why.”

Keyboard Concerto in F minor, BWV 1056 Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)

Bach composed most of his 14 keyboard concertos for his Collegium Musicum, an orchestral society that met and performed each week at Zimmermann’s Coffee House in Leipzig’s Catherinenstrasse. None of these works was entirely new, however; rather, many were arrangements of earlier violin or oboe concertos.

In the case of this Concerto, which Bach arranged around 1740, most of the original work for solo oboe is lost, though Bach did also salvage its lovely central movement in 1729 as the opening sinfonia of one of his church cantatas.

Notably, in this keyboard version of the Largo, Bach directs the strings to play pizzicato. Both outer movements are tightly constructed. In the first, the keyboard plays virtually without a break, and it carries the entire gist of the musical argument. By contrast, in the more contrapuntal interplay of the final movement, keyboard and string orchestra share the musical material more equally.

Symphony No 45 in F sharp minor, Farewell Joseph Haydn (1732-1809)

Haydn counted himself fortunate in having as enlightened an employer as Prince Nikolaus Esterházy. Members of his orchestra, however, were sad to be separated from their families during the long season the court spent at its summer palace, and in 1772 their stay was even more prolonged than usual. Haydn duly conceived a subtle scheme to remind Nikolaus that the musicians were missing home.

Toward the end of this sombre minor-keyed Symphony, Haydn added an unusual concluding Adagio, as if it were an extra, misplaced slow movement. A few bars into it, he directed his players, one by one, to start packing up their music and instruments, blow out their candles, and quietly leave the hall. The departures continued until only Haydn and his deputy remained to finish the Symphony as a serene duet. The prince evidently understood the message, and the following morning gave orders that the court would be leaving for home.
