FOR RELEASE: January 22, 2014 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE UPDATED October 2, 2015 September 15, 2015 Contact: Katherine E. Johnson (212) 875-5718; [email protected] SEMYON BYCHKOV TO RETURN TO THE NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC BRAHMS’s Double Concerto for Violin and Cello with Violinist LISA BATIASHVILI and Cellist GAUTIER CAPUÇON BRAHMS’s Symphony No. 1 NEW YORK PREMIERE of Detlev GLANERT’s Brahms-Fantasie October 21–24, 2015 Semyon Bychkov will return to the New York Philharmonic to conduct works composed or inspired by Brahms: Brahms’s Double Concerto for Violin and Cello, with violinist Lisa Batiashvili and cellist Gautier Capuçon; the New York Premiere of Detlev Glanert’s Brahms- Fantasie; and Brahms’s Symphony No. 1. The performances take place Wednesday, October 21, 2015, at 7:30 p.m.; Thursday, October 22, 2015, at 7:30 p.m.; Friday, October 23, 2015, at 11:00 a.m.; and Saturday, October 24, 2015, at 8:00 p.m. “The music of Brahms is always intimate, no matter how loudly it’s talking. For me, this is the great paradox: the monumentality of Brahms is in its intimacy,” said Semyon Bychkov. “He was able to integrate everything that there is to life — action and reaction, objective and subjective — juxtaposing conflict and struggle with harmony and resolution.” In its review of Semyon Bychkov’s 2004 recording of Brahms’s complete symphonies, The Observer said: “Brahms is here accorded due respect and affection by the brilliant Russian conductor Semyon Bychkov. ... Bychkov [is] at his most magisterial in the stately first. Brahmsians will find it hard to find a more resonant collection in the catalogue.” Semyon Bychkov will again conduct the Philharmonic this season, leading Mahler’s Symphony No. 6, February 11–13 and 16, 2016. Lisa Batiashvili returns to the New York Philharmonic following her acclaimed tenure as the 2014–15 season Mary and James G. Wallach Artist-in-Residence. The New York Times wrote of Ms. Batiasvhili’s performance of Brahms’s Violin Concerto at the start of her residency: “Ms. Batiashvili played it bracingly, without any sense of routine. She pushed the tonal envelope but never to breaking point, and sang with ravishingly long lines in the slow movement.” (more) Semyon Bychkov / Lisa Batiashvili / Gautier Capuçon / 2 This performance marks Gautier Capuçon’s first return to the Philharmonic since his debut in 2014, when his performance of Shostakovich’s Cello Concerto No. 1 was praised by The New York Times, which wrote: “Mr. Capuçon played the work beautifully, negotiating its difficulties with seeming ease,” and that the cellist’s “elegance paid dividends of its own.” This Philharmonic appearance follows a series of performances of the Brahms Double Concerto in which Ms. Batiashvili and Mr. Capuçon will collaborate on the work with Zurich’s Tonhalle Orchestra, on September 16–17 in Zurich and on September 19 in Prague, conducted by Lionel Bringuier. Detlev Glanert’s 2012 Brahms-Fantasie was written as a companion piece to Brahms’s Symphony No. 1. The composer said: “We hear Brahms, yet don’t hear him; we hear my music, yet it isn’t entirely my music. A picture puzzle, music about music, a mind game, and a fantasy along alien, yet familiar paths.” Related Events Pre-Concert Insights Composer Paul Moravec will introduce the program. Pre-Concert Insights are $7, and discounts are available for three (3) or more talks and for students. They take place one hour before these performances in the Helen Hull Room, unless otherwise noted. Attendance is limited to 90 people. Information: nyphil.org/preconcert or (212) 875-5656. Artists Semyon Bychkov won the Rachmaninov Conducting Competition at age 20, but after being denied the prize of conducting the Leningrad Philharmonic, he left the former Soviet Union two years later. By the time he returned in 1989 to be principal guest conductor of the Leningrad Philharmonic he had been recognized for his concerts with the Berlin Philharmonic and Amsterdam’s Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, and had enjoyed success as music director of the Grand Rapids Symphony Orchestra and the Buffalo Philharmonic. He has since served as music director of the Orchestre de Paris (1989–1998) and chief conductor of Cologne’s WDR Symphony Orchestra (1997–2010) and Dresden Semperoper (1998). In addition to regular appearances at the Berlin Philharmonic, Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, BBC Symphony Orchestra, London Symphony Orchestra, Orchestra della Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della RAI Torino, Orchestre National de France, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, New York Philharmonic, San Francisco Symphony, and the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Mr. Bychkov’s symphonic engagements include annual tours with the Munich and Vienna Philharmonic orchestras and Amsterdam’s Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. His repertoire spans the music of four centuries. In the opera house Mr. Bychkov is recognized for his interpretations of Richard Strauss, Wagner, and Verdi. While principal guest conductor of Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, his productions of Janáček’s Jenůfa, Schubert’s Fierrabras, Puccini’s La bohème, Shostakovich’s Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk, and Musorgsky’s Boris Godunov were awarded the prestigious Premio Abbiati. Most recently he conducted Musorgsky’s Khovanshchina at the Vienna Staatsoper, and over next season he will conduct Tchaikovsky’s Eugene Onegin at the Royal Opera, Covent Garden, and Wagner’s Parsifal at (more) Semyon Bychkov / Lisa Batiashvili / Gautier Capuçon / 3 Madrid’s Teatro Real. Mr. Bychkov’s recordings with Philips include discs with the Berlin and London Philharmonic Orchestras, Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, Amsterdam’s Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, London’s Philharmonia Orchestra, and Orchestre de Paris, which were followed by a series of benchmark recordings with Cologne’s WDR Symphony Orchestra, including a cycle of Brahms’s complete symphonies; works by Richard Strauss, Mahler, Shostakovich, Rachmaninoff, Verdi, Detlev Glanert, and York Höller; and a recording of Wagner’s Lohengrin, which was voted BBC Music Magazine’s Record of the Year. Semyon Bychkov currently holds the Klemperer Chair of Conducting at the Royal Academy of Music, and the Günter Wand Conducting Chair with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, with which he appears annually at the BBC Proms. The International Opera Awards named him 2015’s Conductor of the Year. He made his New York Philharmonic debut in March 1984 leading a program of Beethoven, Liszt, and Rachmaninoff; he most recently led the Orchestra in works by Rachmaninoff and Shostakovich in October 2013. Lisa Batiashvili, Musical America’s 2015 Instrumentalist of the Year, was the New York Philharmonic’s 2014–15 Mary and James G. Wallach Artist-in-Residence. This season she holds the position of artist-in-residence at Zurich’s Tonhalle Orchestra, and highlights include performances with the Berlin and London Philharmonic Orchestras (both under Yannick Nézet- Séguin), Orchestre de Paris (Paavo Järvi), Vienna Philharmonic (Esa-Pekka Salonen), and London Symphony Orchestra (Daniel Harding), as well as a European tour with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra (Sakari Oramo). She also performs a series of recitals with Gautier Capuçon, Frank Braley, Valery Sokolov, and Gérard Causse celebrating Henri Dutilleux’s centennial at London’s Wigmore Hall, Amsterdam’s Royal Concertgebouw, Vienna’s Musikverein, Paris’s Philharmonie 2, and Zurich’s Tonhalle. Recent and forthcoming concerts include the Dresden Staatskapelle, Chamber Orchestra of Europe, and Amsterdam’s Royal Concertgebouw, Bavarian Radio Symphony, Philadelphia, and Boston Symphony orchestras. Last season she performed with Filarmonica della Scala and Berlin Staatskapelle, both led by Daniel Barenboim, and Orchestra della Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, led by Antonio Pappano. She and her husband, François Leleux, performed the World Premiere of Thierry Escaich’s Concerto for Violin and Oboe with Hamburg’s NDR Symphony Orchestra and the U.S. Premiere with the New York Philharmonic, led by Alan Gilbert, as part of her residencies with both orchestras. Lisa Batiasvhili records exclusively for Deutsche Grammophon, and her most recent release is dedicated to works by J.S. and C.P.E. Bach, featuring Mr. Leleux, Emmanuel Pahud, and the Bavarian Radio Chamber Orchestra. Her past recordings include Brahms’s Violin Concerto with the Dresden Staatskapelle, led by Christian Thielemann (also available on DVD) and Shostakovich’s Violin Concerto No.1 with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, led by Mr. Salonen. She has also recorded the Beethoven, Sibelius, and Lindberg concertos for Sony. A student of Ana Chumachenko and Mark Lubotski, Lisa Batiashvili gained international recognition at age 16 as the youngest-ever competitor in the Sibelius Competition. She has also been awarded two ECHO Klassik awards, the Beethoven Ring Prize, MIDEM Classical Award, Choc de l’année, and Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival’s Leonard Bernstein Award, and the Accademia Musicale Chigiana International Prize. She made her New York Philharmonic debut in March 2005 performing Chausson’s Poème and Saint- (more) Semyon Bychkov / Lisa Batiashvili / Gautier Capuçon / 4 Saëns’s Introduction and Rondo capriccioso, conducted by then Music Director Lorin Maazel; she most recently appeared with the Orchestra in April 2015, performing the Escaich concerto and J.S. Bach’s Concerto for Violin and Oboe with oboist François Leleux, led by Alan Gilbert. Gautier Capuçon was born in Chambéry in 1981 and began playing the cello at age five. He studied at the Conservatoire National Supérieur in Paris, with Philippe Muller and Annie Cochet- Zakine, and later in Vienna with Heinrich Schiff. He has won first prize in leading international competitions, including the International André Navarra Prize. Mr. Capuçon was named New Talent of the Year by Victoires de la Musique (the French equivalent of a Grammy) in 2001, and he received a Borletti-Buitoni Trust Award in 2004 as well as several ECHO Klassik awards. Mr. Capuçon has performed regularly with Valery Gergiev, Semyon Bychkov, Bernard Haitink, Christoph Eschenbach, and Yannick Nézet-Seguin.

  • Navigating, Coping & Cashing In
    The RECORDING Navigating, Coping & Cashing In Maze November 2013 Introduction Trying to get a handle on where the recording business is headed is a little like trying to nail Jell-O to the wall. No matter what side of the business you may be on— producing, selling, distributing, even buying recordings— there is no longer a “standard operating procedure.” Hence the title of this Special Report, designed as a guide to the abundance of recording and distribution options that seem to be cropping up almost daily thanks to technology’s relentless march forward. And as each new delivery CONTENTS option takes hold—CD, download, streaming, app, flash drive, you name it—it exponentionally accelerates the next. 2 Introduction At the other end of the spectrum sits the artist, overwhelmed with choices: 4 The Distribution Maze: anybody can (and does) make a recording these days, but if an artist is not signed Bring a Compass: Part I with a record label, or doesn’t have the resources to make a vanity recording, is there still a way? As Phil Sommerich points out in his excellent overview of “The 8 The Distribution Maze: Distribution Maze,” Part I and Part II, yes, there is a way, or rather, ways. But which Bring a Compass: Part II one is the right one? Sommerich lets us in on a few of the major players, explains 11 Five Minutes, Five Questions how they each work, and the advantages and disadvantages of each. with Three Top Label Execs In “The Musical America Recording Surveys,” we confirmed that our readers are both consumers and makers of recordings.

  • Zu Anderen Gipfeln
    Musikfreunde | Magazin der Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Wien Mai/Juni 2017 Zu anderen Gipfeln Lionel Bringuier Lionel Bringuier, 31, der nun mit den Wiener Symphonikern im Musikverein debütiert, wurde schon als 28-Jährger Chef des Tonhalle-Orchesters Zürich. Die Schweiz wird er bald hinter sich lassen. Sein Weg führt zu anderen Gipfeln. Es war ein Sieg der Jugend. Und ein Abschied von den alten, allerdings äußerst verdienten Männern. Zu Ende der Saison 2013/14 trat David Zinman als Chefdirigent des Tonhalle-Orchesters Zürich zurück; neunzehn Jahre lang hatte er das Orchester geleitet, geprägt, geformt. Mit ihm zusammen zogen sich Elmar Weingarten als Intendant des Orchesters sowie der Präsident der Trägergesellschaft zurück. Die Trias hatte Bedeutendes geleistet und war in Ehren ergraut. Darum war da und dort ein Seufzer der Erleichterung zu vernehmen; die Zeichen standen klar auf Generationenwechsel. Als Präsident gewonnen wurde ein mit allen Wassern gewaschener, bestens vernetzter Vollblutpolitiker aus der Stadt Zürich. Und für die Nachfolge in der Intendanz war Ilona Schmiel geholt worden, die in ihren neun Jahren beim Beethovenfest Bonn ebenfalls manches in Bewegung gesetzt hatte. Von Paris nach Los Angeles Schwieriger gestaltete sich die Wahl eines neuen Chefdirigenten. Das Orchester hatte nach Verjüngung auch auf dem Dirigentenpodium gerufen – was verständlich war, hatten dort doch neben Zinman Großmeister wie Bernard Haitink, Herbert Blomstedt oder Kurt Sanderling den Ton angegeben. Der Blick des Wahlgremiums fiel daher auf Andrís Nelsons, der sich jedoch lange zierte und dann in letzter Minute der Umarmung entzog. So war guter Rat teuer. Just in diesem Augenblick fiel der Name von Lionel Bringuier, dem 1986 geborenen Franzosen, der zur Gruppe jener sehr jungen Dirigenten gehört, die in unseren Tagen so viel Aufmerksamkeit auf sich zieht.

La Société de Musique de La Chaux-de-Fonds est entrée dans sa 121ème année ! Malgré cet héritage impressionnant, chaque saison représente un nouveau défi ! Nous avons le sentiment de lʼavoir à nouveau relevé en ce qui concerne la cuvée 2013-2014. Deux de nos meilleurs atouts : lʼexcellente acoustique de la Salle de musique de La Chaux-de-Fonds et des invités sélectionnés avec une grande exigence : une exigence remarquée et appréciée, qui a convaincu Espace 2 dʼenregistrer, lors de la prochaine saison, sept concerts sur les onze que compte la GRANDE SERIE. Une exigence à ne pas confondre avec « élitisme ». Dʼune part, nous mettons sur pied chaque saison la SERIE PARALLELES, héritage des anciennes Heures de Musique : lʼoccasion dʼinviter, dans de plus petites salles, de jeunes interprètes prometteurs, des musiciens de notre région, ou encore de proposer une programmation différente. Dʼautre part, la Société de Musique de La Chaux-de-Fonds souhaite faire cohabiter une qualité sans compromis avec des prix accessibles (en comparaison de la plupart des séries de concerts de ce niveau en Suisse). Ainsi, un membre de la Société de Musique peut assister à nʼimporte lequel de nos concerts à partir de 25.-, un non membre à partir de 30.- et les étudiants et moins de 16 ans pour le prix de 10.-.

  • Lionel Bringuier
    Lionel Bringuier Conductor French conductor Lionel Bringuier’s artistic maturity, interpretive depth, and distinct programming have quickly established him as one of the most engaging conductors of his generation. He appears frequently with top orchestras to great acclaim, all of which led to his being named Chief Conductor and Music Director of the Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich in 2012 at age 26. Entering the sixth season since his momentous debut with the Tonhalle, Bringuier’s bold vision and boundless energy – both on and off the podium – are breathing new life and vitality into a historic ensemble. During the 2017/2018 season, Mr. Bringuier will be making two appearances with Orchestre National de Lyon in November 2017 and May 2018. Mr. Bringuier’s 2017/2018 season also includes appearances with Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Montreal Symphony Orchestra, Finnish & Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestras, Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra and Malaysia Philharmonic among others. Bringuier has appeared as a guest conductor with the New York Philharmonic, Cleveland Orchestra, Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela, Philharmonia Orchestra, and Israel Philharmonic, to name just a few. Following the landmark inauguration of the Creative Chair Initiative for the Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich in his first season as Chief Conductor and Music Director, this season Lionel Bringuier will collaborate with the composer Brett Dean, as well as X as TOZ Artist in Residence. The first ever Creative Chair role in Zurich was held by Esa-Pekka Salonen, followed by Jörg Widmann in the 2015/2016 season and Peter Eötvös in the 2016/2017 season. Previous TOZ Artists in Residence, Yuja Wang, Lisa Batiashvili and Martin Grubinger remain close collaborators.
