NOVEMBER 2018 GRAMOPHONE’S ORCHESTRA OF THE YEAR LUDOVIC MORLOT, MUSIC DIRECTOR KHATIA BUNIATISHVILI PLAYS RACHMANINOV’S PIANO CONCERTO NO. 2 MORLOT CONDUCTS SHOSTAKOVICH, TCHAIKOVSKY & U.S. PREMIERE BY PASCAL DUSAPIN BENAROYA HALL: 20 YEARS LATER Dear Donor, I had not one but two types of cancers. After doing my research and consulting with doctors all over the world, I learned that Fred Hutch was the place to be. A Fred Hutch researcher performed genetic sequencing on my tumor and discovered an unusual mutation that impacts only 6 percent of prostate cancer patients. He suggested a drug that is used to treat a similiar mutation in lung and skin cancer. So far it has worked! My prostate cancer is now undetectable. Donors like you made this possible. You give Fred Hutch the ability to recruit visionary doctors and scientists, and I am alive today thanks to them. I’ve been married for 42 years, and while my wife still worries about me, we live life to its fullest. Thanks to Fred Hutch and donors like you, I am still active in my businesses, I travel, and I play golf all the time! Thank you for my second chance at life. With gratitude, Edmonds GIVE TODAY Your Dollars Help Cure Cancer. fredhutch.org/give EAP full-page template.indd 1 10/24/18 3:16 PM CONTENTS NOVEMBER 2018 4 / CALENDAR 6 / MEET THE MUSICIANS 8 / THE SYMPHONY 10 / NEWS FEATURE 12 / The Story of Benaroya Hall CONCERTS 16 / November 1, 2 & 3 Shostakovich Violin Concerto No. 2 20 / November 6 Jordi Savall The Routes of Slavery 27 / November 8 & 10 Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 4 30 / November 9 Tchaikovsky Untuxed 31 / November 12 Joseph Adam in Recital 34 / November 13 ALINA IBRAGIMOVA Vienna Boys Choir Photo: Eva Vermandel Photo: Eva 16 36 / November 14 Inon Barnatan in Recital 39 / November 15, 17 & 18 Beethoven Symphony No. 5 43 / November 29 & December 1 Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No. 2 46 / November 30 Rachmaninov Untuxed VIENNA BOYS CHOIR INON BARNATAN Photo: Lukas Beck Lukas Photo: Photo: Marco Borggreve Marco Photo: 34 36 54 / BENAROYA HALL GUIDE 55 / THE LIS(Z)T ON THE COVER: Khatia Buniatishvili (page 43) by Esther Haase, Sony Classical COVER DESIGN: Jessica Forsythe EDITOR: Heidi Staub © 2018 Seattle Symphony.

  • JAMES RODHES “Instrumental”

    JAMES RODHES “Instrumental”

    JAMES RODHES “Instrumental” James Rhodes, el enfant terrible de la música clásica. “En mis conciertos hablo de las piezas que interpreto, cuento por qué las he elegido, qué importancia tienen para mí y en qué contexto se compusieron”. Así explica James Rhodes como son sus recitales en el prólogo de su libro Instrumental. Memorias de música, medicina y locura (7ª edición, más de 75.000 ejemplares vendidos), con el que ha obtenido un enorme e inesperado éxito en todo el mundo. Además de tocar y contextualizar las obras que interpreta, el pianista británico también cuenta sobre el escenario, entre piezas de Bach, Chopin, Rachmaninov, Schubert o Beethoven, la historia de su vida y como la música le ha ayudado a superar los numerosos obstáculos que se ha ido encontrando por el camino. James Rhodes es un enamorado de la música clásica. Carismático, visceral y muy talentoso, Rhodes asegura que Bach (y especialmente “Las variaciones Goldberg”) le han salvado la vida. Y no exagera. A sus 40 años se ha convertido en uno de los principales divulgadores de la música clásica en el mundo, gracias a sus giras y conciertos en todo tipo de festivales y salas, y varios documentales sobre su figura filmados con la complicidad de cadenas de televisión británicas. James Rhodes, ofrece un enfoque diferente al abordar la música clásica sobre el escenario, interactuando con el público, compartiendo emociones y opiniones sobre la música y sobre los grandes compositores que interpreta. Reverenciado por la crítica británica por su particular estilo de stand up, Rhodes aporta un toque muy personal a cada una de sus actuaciones.

    The Causes of the Civil War

    THE CAUSES OF THE CIVIL WAR: A NEWSPAPER ANALYSIS by DIANNE M. BRAGG WM. DAVID SLOAN, COMMITTEE CHAIR GEORGE RABLE MEG LAMME KARLA K. GOWER CHRIS ROBERTS A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the College of Communication and Information Sciences in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2013 Copyright Dianne Marie Bragg 2013 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT This dissertation examines antebellum newspaper content in an attempt to add to the historical understanding of the causes of the Civil War. Numerous historians have studied the Civil War and its causes, but this study will use only newspapers to examine what they can show about the causes that eventually led the country to war. Newspapers have long chronicled events in American history, and they offer valuable information about the issues and concerns of their communities. This study begins with an overview of the newspaper coverage of the tariff and territorial issues that began to divide the country in the early decades of the 1800s. The study then moves from the Wilmot Proviso in 1846 to Lincoln’s election in 1860, a period in which sectionalism and disunion increasingly appeared on newspaper pages and the lines of disagreement between the North and the South hardened. The primary sources used in this study were a diverse sampling of articles from newspapers around the country and includes representation from both southern and northern newspapers. Studying these antebellum newspapers offers insight into the political, social, and economic concerns of the day, which can give an indication of how the sectional differences in these areas became so divisive.

One of the greats of the repertoire, RCM violinists and the RCM Symphony Orchestra explore Beethoven’s Violin Concerto. This masterclass will be live streamed to www.rcm.ac.uk/live. Beethoven Violin Concerto in D major op 61 Although Beethoven completed only one concerto for violin, he certainly began work on another. All that survives of the earlier attempt is the opening section of a first movement in C major, but the condition of manuscript is such that it is entirely possible that the rest once existed, but has since been lost. The fragment probably dates from the early 1790s and reveals a confident treatment of the soloist, and a penchant for the upper reaches of the instrument’s range that anticipates one of the notable features of the masterpiece that was to follow more than a decade later. The exact circumstances of the D major Concerto’s commissioning are not known, but it was evidently written for Franz Clement, a very distinguished Viennese conductor (notably at the Theater an der Wien) and violinist.

  • Meeting Madrid

    Meeting Madrid

    2017: A Year of Round Numbers If we could travel to the future, we’d probably say that 2017 was the year of WorldPride, a celebration of equal rights which three million people are expected to attend. Because whoever you love, Madrid loves you. Just a mention of this year would be enough to relive the music festivals that await us: Mad Cool, Dcode and the Veranos de la Villa Festival which has already become a classic. Like a beautiful mirage, several of the season’s exhibitions would also appear: the Escher retrospective, which has marked the grand opening of Gaviria Palace as a cultural centre, and the show devoted to the Hispanic Society opening in early April at the Prado Museum. And it’s very likely that some of the theatre productions being performed for the first time will be consigned to posterity: Ushuaia by Alberto Conejero at Teatro Español and the adaptation of En la orilla by Rafael Chirbes at Centro Dramático Nacional. If we’ve chosen to use the term ‘probably’ rather than ‘definitely’ it’s because we don’t want to blow our own trumpet, but no one can deny that 2017 will be remembered in Madrid for its round numbers: the 10-year anniversary of Matadero Madrid; 15 for La Casa Encendida; 20 for PHotoEspaña and for the reopening of Teatro Real; 25 for the Reina Sofía and Thyssen-Bornemisza museums; 40 for Fernán Gómez Centro Cultural de la Villa and the Madrid Marathon; and the fourth centenary of Plaza Mayor, whose first stone was laid on 2 December 1617.
