TANGLEWOOD The Berkshire Festival In August 1934, a group of music-loving summer residents of the Berkshires organized a series of three outdoor concerts at Interlaken, to be given by members of the New York Philharmonic under the direction of Henry Hadley. The venture was so successful that the promoters incorporated the Berkshire Symphonic Festival and repeated the experiment during the next summer. The Festival Committee then invited Serge Koussevitzky and the Boston Symphony Orchestra to take part in the following year's concerts. The orchestra's Trustees accepted, and on 13 August 1936 the Boston Symphony gave its first concerts in the Berkshires (at Holmwood, a former Vanderbilt estate, later the Center at Foxhollow). The series again consisted of three concerts and was given under a large tent, drawing a total of nearly 15,000 people. In the winter of 1936, Mrs. Gorham Brooks and Miss Mary Aspinwall Tappan offered Tanglewood, the Tappan family estate, with its buildings and 210 acres of lawns and meadows, as a gift to Koussevitzky and the orchestra. The offer was gratefully accepted, and on 5 August 1937 the Festival's largest crowd so far assembled under a tent for the first Tanglewood concert, an all-Beethoven program. At the all-Wagner concert which opened the 1937 festival's second weekend, rain and thunder twice interrupted the performance of the Rienzi Overture and necessitated the omission altogether of the Siegfried Idyll, music too delicate to be heard through the downpour. At the intermission, Miss Gertrude Robinson Smith, one of the festival's founders, made a fundraising appeal for the building of a permanent structure. The appeal was broadened by means of a printed circular handed out at the two remaining concerts, and within a short time enough money had been raised to begin active planning for a "music pavilion." Plans for the Shed were drawn up by the eminent architect Eliel Saarinen, and, as modified by Josef Franz of Stockbridge, who also directed construction, it was completed on 16 June 1938, a month ahead of schedule. Seven weeks later, Serge Koussevitzky led the inaugural concert, which featured a performance of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. By 1941, the Theatre-Concert Hall, the Chamber Music Hall, and several small studios — all part of the Berkshire Music Center, which had begun operations the preceding year — were finished, and the festival had so expanded its activities and its reputation for excellence that it attracted nearly 100,000 visitors. Today Tanglewood annually draws close to a quarter of a million visitors; in addition to the twenty-four regular concerts of the Boston Symphony, there are weekly chamber music concerts, "Prelude" concerts and open rehearsals, the annual Festival of Contemporary Music, and almost daily concerts by the gifted young musicians of the Berkshire Music Center. The Boston Pops performs each summer, and the festival also includes a series of concerts by popular artists. The season offers not only a vast quantity of music but also a vast range of musical forms and styles, all of it presented with a regard for artistic excellence that makes the festival unique. The Berkshire Music Center Tanglewood is much more than a pleasant, outdoor, summer concert hall; it is also the site of one of the most influential centers for advanced musical study in the United States. Here, the Berkshire Music Center, now celebrating its fortieth anniversary, and which has been maintained by the Boston Symphony Orchestra ever since its establishment under the leadership of Serge Koussevitzky in 1940, provides a wide range of specialized training and experience for young musicians from all over the world.

Having played the instru- ment for, then, almost two decades, I thought that a novelist would not, could not, feature specialty instruments such as the C-melody sax if he did not play the horn himself. Once the saxophone had caught my attention, I noticed all sorts of uncommon references that seemed to confirm my hunch that Thomas Pynchon himself played the instrument: McClintic Sphere’s 4½ reed, the contra- bass sax of Against the Day, Gravity’s Rainbow’s Charlie Parker passage.

  • PROGRAM NOTES Gustav Mahler Symphony No. 1 in D Major
    PROGRAM NOTES by Phillip Huscher Gustav Mahler Born July 7, 1860, Kalischt, Bohemia. Died May 18, 1911, Vienna, Austria. Symphony No. 1 in D Major Mahler did most of the work on his First Symphony in February and March of 1888, incorporating music that had been written much earlier. He revised the score on several occasions. The first performance was given on November 20, 1889, in Budapest, with the composer conducting. The score calls for four flutes and three piccolos, four oboes and english horn, four clarinets, two E-flat clarinets and bass clarinet, three bassoons and contrabassoon, seven horns, four trumpets, three trombones and tuba, timpani, bass drum, cymbals, triangle, tam-tam, harp, and strings. Performance time is approximately fifty-seven minutes. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra's first subscription concert performances of Mahler's First Symphony were given at Orchestra Hall on November 6 and 7, 1914, with Frederick Stock conducting. Our most recent subscription concert performances were given on April 5, 6, 7, and 10, 2007, with Gustavo Dudamel conducting. The Orchestra first performed this symphony at the Ravinia Festival on July 19, 1949, with William Steinberg conducting, and most recently on June 24, 2005, with James Conlon conducting. When Alma Schindler first met Gustav Mahler, whom she later married, she could only remember how much she had disliked his First Symphony. She wasn't alone. The history of this symphony, even into relatively recent times, is one of misunderstanding and rejection. The first performance, in Budapest in 1889, was greeted with indifference, bewilderment, and, in the words of the local critic, "a small, but, for all that, audible element of opposition." Mahler seldom understood the animosity his music aroused.

  • A CONCERT with COMMENTARY, JEFFREY SIEGEL to PRESENT MOZART and HAYDN “The Leonard Bernstein of the Piano” Returns for His Ninth Season
    Contact: Dave Webb Phone: 530-400-1253 E-mail: [email protected] Web: harriscenter.net/about/press-room A CONCERT WITH COMMENTARY, JEFFREY SIEGEL TO PRESENT MOZART AND HAYDN “The Leonard Bernstein of the piano” returns for his ninth season (August 2, 2019, Folsom, CA) Hailed as “an artist who means every note he plays” (New York Times), internationally acclaimed pianist Jeffrey Siegel brings power and passion to his celebrated Keyboard Conversations — returning to Folsom for his ninth season. He has been called “the Leonard Bernstein of the piano” (Chicago Tribune); "Jeffrey Siegel has everything: massive technique, musical sensitivity and character, wide tonal resources, immense reserves of power, and the ability to communicate" (Los Angeles Times). In presenting these “concerts with lively commentary” Mr. Siegel offers comments on the work, the composer, even the times in which the work was composed and then gives a virtuosic performance of a piano masterpiece. A lively Q&A concludes the concert. His presentations enrich the listening experience for the avid music lover as well as provide an inviting, instantly accessible introduction to great music for those new to classical music. "Siegel's programs strengthen the fragile bonds of communication between composer and listener and are as welcome as they are rare." (Chicago Tribune). For his concert on Saturday, August 24, Mr. Siegel will perform MOZART AND HAYDN – HUMOR AND HEARTACHE, an evening of irresistible charm and wit – and deep anguish and sadness. Haydn’s exuberant “Gypsy Rondo” and melancholy “F Minor Variations,” Mozart’s passionate “A Minor Sonata.” The inaugural Keyboard Conversations® With Jeffrey Siegel commences on Saturday, August 24 at 7:30 pm.

  • A Collection of Stan Ruttenberg's Reviews of Mahler Recordings From
    A collection of Stan Ruttenberg’s Reviews of Mahler Recordings from the Archives Of the Colorado MahlerFest (Symphonies 3 through 7 and Kindertotenlieder) Colorado MahlerFest XIII Recordings of the Mahler Third Symphony Of the fifty recordings listed in Peter Fülöp’s monumental discography (up to 1955, and many more have been added since then), I review here fifteen at my disposal, leaving out two by Boulez and one by Scherchen as not as worthy as the others. All of these fifteen are recommendable, all with fine points, all with some or more weaknesses. I cannot rank them in any numerical order, but I can say that there are four which I would rather hear more than the others — my desert island choices. I am glad to have the others for their own particular merits. Getting ready for MFest XIII we discovered that the matter of score versions and parts is complex. I use the Dover score, no date but attributed to Universal Edition; my guess this is an early version. The Kalmus edition is copied from who knows which published version. Then there is the “Critical Edition,” prepared by the Mahler Gesellschaft, Vienna. I can find two major discrepancies between the Dover/Universal and the Critical (I) the lack of horns at RN25-5, doubling the string riff and (ii) only two harp glissandi at the middle of RN28, whereas the Critical has three. Our first horn found another. Both the Dover and Critical have the horn doublings, written ff at RN 67, but only a few conductors observe them.
