Tchaikovsky CD 1 1 Orchestrion It wasn’t unusual, in the middle of the 19th century, to hear sounds like that coming from the drawing rooms of comfortable, middle-class families. The Orchestrion, one of the first and grandest of mass-produced mechanical music-makers, was one of the precursors of the 20th century gramophone. It brought music into homes where otherwise it might never have been heard, except through the stumbling fingers of children, enduring, or in some cases actually enjoying, their obligatory half-hour of practice time. In most families the Orchestrion was a source of pleasure. But in one Russian household, it seems to have been rather more. It afforded a small boy named Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky some of his earliest glimpses into a world, and a language, which was to become (in more senses then one), his lifeline. One evening his French governess, Fanny Dürbach, went into the nursery and found the tiny child sitting up in bed, crying. ‘What’s the matter?’ she asked – and his answer surprised her. ‘This music’ he wailed, ‘this music!’ She listened. The house was quiet. ‘No. It’s here,’ cried the boy – he pointed to his head. ‘It’s here, and I can’t make it go away. It won’t leave me.’ And of course it never did. ‘His sensitivity knew no bounds and so one had to deal with him very carefully. Every little trifle could upset or wound him. He was a child of glass. As for reproofs and admonitions (with him there could be no question of punishments), what would have been water off a duck’s back to other children affected him deeply, and if the degree of severity was increased only the slightest, it would upset him alarmingly.’ Despite his outwardly happy appearance, peace of mind is something Tchaikovsky rarely knew, from childhood to his dying day. -
Peter Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 4 in F Minor, Op. 36
PROGRAM NOTES by Phillip Huscher Peter Tchaikovsky Born May 7, 1840, Viatka, Russia. Died November 18, 1893, Saint Petersburg, Russia. Symphony No. 4 in F Minor, Op. 36 Tchaikovsky began this symphony in May 1877 and completed it on January 19, 1878. The first performance was given in Moscow on March 4, 1878. The score calls for two flutes and piccolo, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones and tuba, timpani, triangle, cymbals, bass drum, and strings. Performance time is approximately forty-four minutes. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s first subscription concert performances of Tchaikovsky’s Fourth Symphony were given at the Auditorium Theatre on November 3 and 4, 1899, with Theodore Thomas conducting. Our most recent subscription concert performance was given at Orchestra Hall on November 10, 2006, with Ludovic Morlot conducting. The Orchestra first performed this symphony at the Ravinia Festival on July 17, 1936, with Willem van Hoogstraten conducting, and most recently on July 31, 1999, with Christoph Eschenbach conducting. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra recorded Tchaikovsky’s Fourth Symphony under Rafael Kubelík in 1951 for Mercury, under Sir Georg Solti for London in 1984, under Claudio Abbado for CBS in 1988, and under Daniel Barenboim for Teldec in 1997. Tchaikovsky was at work on his Fourth Symphony when he received a letter from Antonina Milyukova claiming to be a former student of his and declaring that she was madly in love with him. Tchaikovsky had just read Pushkin’s Eugene Onegin, hoping to find an opera subject, and he saw fateful parallels between Antonina and Pushkin’s heroine, Tatiana. -

В финале после живого и бодрого начала вступает DISC 1 более приглушенная аранжировка русской народной песни «Во СИМФОНИЯ № 4 ФА МИНОР, поле березонька стояла…», которая повторяется несколько OP. 36 (1877–78) раз в разных вариантах до тех пор, пока опять не возникает PYOTR ILYICH TCHAIKOVSKY / ПЕТР ИЛЬИЧ ЧАЙКОВСКИЙ (1840–1893) Дэниэль Джаффе открывающая симфонию тема. Снова звучит русская народная The Nutcracker, Op. 71 / Щелкунчик, Op. 71 (1891–92) песня, но ее прерывают роковые фанфары первой части. И Чайковского всегда восхищала французская музыка, особенно, все же из явного уныния возрождается – как птица-феникс – музыка Жоржа Бизе. 20 января 1876 года, находясь в Париже, задорная тема финала, которая сперва возникает у валторн, ACT ONE он побывал на представлении оперы Бизе «Кармен», премьера а потом неумолимо движется к эффектному концу. которой состоялась меньше чем за год до того. Чайковский 1 Overture [Увертюра] 3’28’’ был потрясен и растроган и сюжетом, и тем, как живо и просто Бизе его преподнес. Особенно поразил русского Tableau I композитора финал оперы, который он описывал так: «смерть 2 No 1 Scene (The Christmas Tree) [Сцена (Сцена украшения и зажигания ёлки)] 3’44’’ двух главных действующих лиц, которых злой рок, fatum, ЩЕЛКУНЧИК, OP. 71 (1891–92) 3 No 2 March [Марш] 2’26’’ столкнул и через ряд страданий привел к неизбежному концу». -
