Pianist Lise De La Salle Makes Symphony Center Debut in Piano Series Program of Works by Liszt, Ravel and Bach For Immediate Release: Press Contacts: February 22, 2016 Eileen Chambers/CSO 312.294.3092 Beth Silverman/The Silverman Group, Inc. 312.932.9950 Photos Available By Request [email protected] PIANIST LISE DE LA SALLE MAKES SYMPHONY CENTER DEBUT IN PIANO SERIES PROGRAM OF WORKS BY LISZT, RAVEL AND BACH Sunday, March 6, at 3:00 p.m. CHICAGO—French pianist Lise de la Salle makes her Symphony Center debut on the Symphony Center Presents PowerShares QQQ Piano series on Sunday, March 6 at 3:00 p.m. One of the most promising young artists in the international classical piano scene, de la Salle performs a program of works by Bach and Ravel, as well as a rich assortment of showpieces by Liszt. The program opens with an exceptionally challenging arrangement of Bach’s Chaconne from Violin Partita No. 2 in D Minor, BWV 1004, arranged for solo piano by Ferruccio Busoni in 1893. Following is Ravel’s imaginative and technically spectacular Gaspard de la nuit, described by the composer as “three romantic poems of transcendental virtuosity.” De la Salle, who has featured Liszt extensively in her discography, will complete her program with a tour de force of works by the composer, including his rousing Dante Sonata, and arrangements of themes by Mozart, Schumann, Schubert, and Wagner including the “Lacrimosa” from Mozart's Requiem and Isolde's “Liebestod” from Wagner's Tristan and Isolde. Lise de la Salle, at 27, has achieved an impressive international career garnering praise as a musician of uncommon sensibility and maturity. A native of France, de la Salle was propelled to global fame after recording a Bach/Liszt album at the age of 16, which was selected as "Recording of the Month" by Gramophone Magazine. She was likewise recognized for a 2008 recording of the first concertos of Liszt, Prokofiev and Shostakovich. De la Salle has already played with many of the world’s leading orchestras, including the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at the Ravinia Festival, Boston Symphony, San Francisco Symphony, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and the London Symphony. Her most recent recording, an all-Rachmaninov album with Fabio Luisi and the Zurich Opera Orchestra, was released in the fall of 2015. In addition to her Symphony Center appearance, de la Salle’s other upcoming solo engagements this season include those at the Jersey Arts Centre in the UK; the Conservatorio Giuseppe Verdi in Turin (Italy); the Stadttheater in Olten (Switzerland); and the Festsaal Palast der Wartburg in Eisenach (Germany).

Her playing inspired a Washington Post critic to write, “For much of the concert, the audience had to remember to breathe...the exhilaration didn’t let up for a second until her hands came off the keyboard.” A native of France, now living in Paris, de la Salle first came to international attention in 2005, at the age of 16, with a Bach/Liszt recording that was selected as "Recording of the Month" by Gramophone Magazine. De la Salle, who records exclusively with the label Naïve, was then similarly recognized in 2008 for her recording of Liszt’s, Prokofiev’s and Shostakovich’s first concertos – a remarkable feat for someone only 20 years old. Her most recent recording offers works of Schumann, including Kinderszenen and the C Major Fantasy, which was released in 2014. De la Salle has played with many of the world's leading orchestras and conductors. She most recently made her London Symphony Orchestra debut with Fabio Luisi, who had invited her to become the first Artist-in-Residence of the Zurich Opera in 2014. Together, they will perform the entire piano and orchestra works of Rachmaninoff. She has also appeared frequently with the Maestro and the Vienna Symphony, including a performance in New York on the Great Performers Series at Lincoln Center. In this country, de la Salle has played with the Boston Symphony, the CSO at the Ravinia Festival, San Francisco Symphony and three times with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, among others. In her second appearance with the Minnesota Orchestra, she played the Gershwin Concerto in F, a performance that inspired one critic to exclaim that “she might just be the most exciting young artist in classical music right now.” This past 2014-2015 season, de la Salle could be heard with Jiri Belohlavek and the Rotterdam Philharmonic, Mikhail Pletnev and the Russian National Orchestra, and on tour with Sir Neville Marriner and the Staatskapelle Weimar. In the United States, she made her fourth appearance with Vasily Petrenko and the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Hans Graf and the Houston Symphony, Roberto Abbado and the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, and Eugene Tzigane and the New Jersey Symphony. A sought-after recitalist, she has been presented to enthusiastic audiences and critics in major series in New York, Boston, Washington DC, San Francisco, Montreal, Toronto, and at the Philharmonie in Berlin, Wigmore Hall in London and the Louvre in Paris. De la Salle also takes pleasure in educational outreach and conducts master classes in many of the cities in which she performs. Her critically acclaimed Naive CDs include an all-Chopin disc with a live recording of the Piano Concerto 2, Opus 2 with Fabio Luisi conducting the Staatskapelle Dresden, and the Four Ballades. In May 2011, Naïve issued her sixth recording, released in celebration of Liszt’s Bicentennial. The recording includes both original Liszt compositions, such as the Ballade No. 2 in b minor, Funerailles, and the Dante Sonata, and Liszt’s transcriptions of others’ pieces, such as Mozart’s Lacrymosa and Schubert’s Ständchen. Diapason Magazine named the album the "Diapason D'or", and was the "Editor's Choice" in Gramophone Magazine, stating that "...the wonderfully gifted 23-year-old Lise de la Salle gives us a Liszt recital of astonishing strength, poetry, and, for one so young, musical maturity." Born in Cherbourg, France in 1988, de la Salle was surrounded by music from her earliest childhood. She began studying the piano at the age of four and gave her first concert at nine in a live broadcast on Radio-France. When she was eleven, de la Salle received special permission to enter the Paris Conservatoire Supérieur de Musique to study with Pierre Réach. At 13, she made her concerto debut with Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 2 in Avignon, and her Paris recital debut at the Louvre before going on tour with the Orchestre National d’Ile de France playing Haydn’s Concerto in D Major. De la Salle graduated in 2001 and subsequently enrolled in the postgraduate cycle with Bruno Rigutto. Since 1997, she has worked closely with Pascal Nemirovski, and also studied with Genevieve Joy-Dutilleux. In 2003, de la Salle won the European Young Concert Artists Auditions in Paris and in 2004 she won the Young Concert Artists International Auditions in New York. Later that year, the organization presented both her New York and Washington, DC debuts. At the Ettlingen International Competition in Germany, de la Salle won First Prize and the Bärenreiter Award. She has also won First Prize in many French piano competitions, including the Steinway, Sucy, Vulaines, and Radio-France Competitions. In 2003, she won the “Groupe Banque Populaire Natexis” Prize, for which she received a three-year scholarship. www.lisedelasalle.com The Chicago Symphony Orchestra: www.cso.org and www.csosoundsandstories.org Founded in 1891, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra is consistently hailed as one of the greatest orchestras in the world.

    MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL Recordings Of The Year 2018 This is the fifteenth year that MusicWeb International has asked its reviewing team to nominate their recordings of the year. Reviewers are not restricted to discs they had reviewed, but the choices must have been reviewed on MWI in the last 12 months (December 2017-November 2018). The 130 selections have come from 25 members of the team and 70 different labels, the choices reflecting as usual, the great diversity of music and sources - I say that every year, but still the spread of choices surprises and pleases me. Of the selections, 8 have received two nominations: Mahler and Strauss with Sergiu Celibidache on the Munich Phil choral music by Pavel Chesnokov on Reference Recordings Shostakovich symphonies with Andris Nelsons on DG The Gluepot Connection from the Londinium Choir on Somm The John Adams Edition on the Berlin Phil’s own label Historic recordings of Carlo Zecchi on APR Pärt symphonies on ECM works for two pianos by Stravinsky on Hyperion Chandos was this year’s leading label with 11 nominations, significantly more than any other label. MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL RECORDING OF THE YEAR In this twelve month period, we published more than 2400 reviews. There is no easy or entirely satisfactory way of choosing one above all others as our Recording of the Year, but this year the choice was a little easier than usual.

  • ABSTRACT Final
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: THE BREADTH OF CHOPIN’S INFLUENCE ON FRENCH AND RUSSIAN PIANO MUSIC OF THE LATE 19TH AND EARLY 20TH CENTURIES Jasmin Lee, Doctor of Musical Arts, 2015 Dissertation directed by: Professor Bradford Gowen School of Music Frederic Chopin’s legacy as a pianist and composer served as inspiration for generations of later composers of piano music, especially in France and Russia. Singing melodies, arpeggiated basses, sensitivity to sonorities, the use of rubato, pedal points, and the full range of the keyboard, plus the frequent use of character pieces as compositional forms characterize Chopin’s compositional style. Future composers Claude Debussy, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Alexander Scriabin, Nikolai Medtner, Gabriel Faure, and Maurice Ravel each paid homage to Chopin and his legacy by incorporating and enhancing aspects of his writing style into their own respective works. Despite the disparate compositional trajectories of each of these composers, Chopin’s influence on the development of their individual styles is clearly present. Such influence served as one of the bases for Romantic virtuoso works that came to predominate the late 19th and early 20th century piano literature. This dissertation was completed by performing selected works of Claude Debussy, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Alexander Scriabin, Gabriel Faure, Nikolai Medtner, and Maurice Ravel, in three recitals at the Gildenhorn Recital Hall in the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center of the University of Maryland. Compact Disc recordings of the recital are housed

    Staatskapelle Dresden Staatskapelle Dresden Matthias Claudi PR und Marketing Theaterplatz 2 Christian Thielemann, Principal Conductor 01067 Dresden Germany Myung-Whun Chung, Principal Guest Conductor T 0351 4911 380 herberb Blomstedt, Conductor Laureate F 0351 4911 328 [email protected] Founded by Prince Elector Moritz von Sachsen in 1548, the Staatskapelle Dresden is one of the oldest orchestras in the world and steeped in tradition. Over its long history many distinguished conductors and internationally celebrated instrumentalists have left their mark on this onetime court orchestra. Previous directors include Heinrich Schütz, Johann Adolf Hasse, Carl Maria von Weber and Richard Wagner, who called the ensemble his »miraculous harp«. The list of prominent conductors of the last 100 years includes Ernst von Schuch, Fritz Reiner, Fritz Busch, Karl Böhm, Joseph Keilberth, Rudolf Kempe, Otmar Suitner, Kurt Sanderling, Herbert Blomstedt and Giuseppe Sinopoli. The orchestra was directed by Bernard Haitink from 2002-2004 and most recently by Fabio Luisi from 2007-2010. Principal Conductor since the 2012 / 2013 season has been Christian Thielemann. In May 2016 the former Principal Conductor Herbert Blomstedt received the title Conductor Laureate. This title has only been awarded to Sir Colin Davis before, who held it from 1990 until his death in April 2013. Myung-Whun Chung has been Principal Guest Conductor since the 2012 / 2013 season. Richard Strauss and the Staatskapelle were closely linked for more than sixty years. Nine of the composer’s operas were premiered in Dresden, including »Salome«, »Elektra« and »Der Rosenkavalier«, while Strauss’s »Alpine Symphony« was dedicated to the orchestra. Countless other famous composers have written works either dedicated to the orchestra or first performed in Dresden.

  • PROGRAM NOTES by Pamela Dellal (PD) & Michael Manning (MM)
    PROGRAM NOTES by Pamela Dellal (PD) & Michael Manning (MM) © 2013 The transition from the 19th to the 20th centuries saw what is arguably history’s greatest revolution in music – indeed, in art. The grandiose ambitions of Romanticism that began with Hector Berlioz had become fully realized in the megalomythic operas of Richard Wagner and the prolix, populous symphonies of Gustav Mahler. Looking through the other end of the telescope, the Romantic miniature that began with Franz Schubert, Felix Mendelssohn, Frederic Chopin, Robert Schumann and Franz Liszt culminated in the technically and psychologically complex and deeply layered songs of Hugo Wolf and the compact, plenipotentiary late works of Johannes Brahms. For younger generations of composers inheriting this auspicious legacy, the glaring question facing them was “now what?”. So began the full assault on aesthetics, politics and culture that would spawn what in retrospect we call modernism. This assault came from multiple schools of thought, from every Western nationality, from every quarter, and its ambition was both focused and comprehensive: dismantle this edifice and start over. In music, the momentum built in two primary places, Germany and France. The former movement saw two principal branches, a very technical one led by Arnold Schoenberg and his disciples, and the very practical one intertwined with the Bauhaus movement and best represented by Paul Hindemith and Kurt Weill. In France, the effort was led by Claude Debussy with the able help of his junior, Maurice Ravel. Together, they embody a style of composition that borrowed its name from painting – Impressionisme, a moniker that was actually despised by both composers who saw it as a lazy term of convenience invented by “imbeciles”, i.e.
