Johnsonk@Nyphil.Org CHRISTOPH ESCHENBACH to CO FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 7, 2018 Contact: Katherine E. Johnson (212) 875-5700; [email protected] CHRISTOPH ESCHENBACH TO CONDUCT THE NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC MOZART’s Piano Concerto No. 22 with TILL FELLNER in His Philharmonic Debut BRUCKNER’s Symphony No. 9 April 19, 21, and 24, 2018 Christoph Eschenbach will conduct the New York Philharmonic in a program of works by Austrian composers: Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 22, with Austrian pianist Till Fellner as soloist in his Philharmonic debut, and Bruckner’s Symphony No. 9 (Ed. Nowak), Thursday, April 19, 2018, at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, April 21 at 8:00 p.m.; and Tuesday, April 24 at 7:30 p.m. German conductor Christoph Eschenbach began his career as a pianist, making his New York Philharmonic debut as piano soloist in Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 24 in 1974. Both Christoph Eschenbach and Till Fellner won the Clara Haskil International Piano Competition, in 1965 and 1993, respectively. Mr. Fellner subsequently recorded Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 22 on the Claves label in collaboration with the Clara Haskil Competition. The New York Times wrote of Mr. Eschenbach’s conducting Bruckner’s Symphony No. 9 with the New York Philharmonic in 2008: “Mr. Eschenbach, a compelling Bruckner interpreter, brought a sense of structure and proportion to the music without diminishing the qualities of humility and awe that make it so gripping. … the orchestra responded with playing of striking power and commitment.” Artists Christoph Eschenbach is in demand as a distinguished guest conductor with the finest orchestras and opera houses throughout the world, including those in Vienna, Berlin, Paris, London, New York, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Milan, Rome, Munich, Dresden, Leipzig, Madrid, Tokyo, and Shanghai. He is currently principal conductor designate of the Berlin Konzerthaus Orchestra. In June 2017 Mr. Eschenbach received the title of conductor laureate of the National Symphony Orchestra after serving as music director (2010–17). Other past positions include music director of the Orchestre de Paris (2000–10), The Philadelphia Orchestra (2003–08), NDR Symphony Orchestra (1998–2004), and Houston Symphony (1988–99). He is regularly invited to perform at prestigious music festivals, including those of Salzburg, Prague, Tanglewood, Ravinia, Schleswig Holstein, Rheingau, St. Petersburg, and Granada. A prolific recording artist whose work spans five decades, Mr. Eschenbach has an impressive discography as both a conductor and pianist on a number of prominent labels. His recordings include works ranging from J.S. Bach to music of our time, and reflect his commitment not (more) Christoph Eschenbach / Till Fellner / 2 only to canonical works but also to the music of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. In 2014 he received a Grammy Award for his Hindemith CD with violinist Midori and the NDR Symphony Orchestra. Christoph Eschenbach was mentored by George Szell and Herbert von Karajan, and as he feels it is very important to pass on musical knowledge and experience, he dedicates time each season to run master classes and orchestra academies for young performers, such as Schleswig-Holstein Academy Orchestra, Kronberg Academy, Manhattan School of Music, and Milan’s Accademia della Scala. His many honors include the French distinctions of Légion d’Honneur, Officier dans l’Ordre National du Mérite, and Commandeur dans l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. He also carries the Commander’s Cross of German Order of Merit, and the Leonard Bernstein Award from the Pacific Music Festival. In 2015 he received the prestigious Ernst von Siemens music Award in honor of his life’s dedication to music. Mr. Eschenbach made his New York Philharmonic debut as piano soloist in February 1974 performing Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 24 conducted by then Music Director Pierre Boulez. He made his conducting debut in February 1980 leading works by Zimmermann, Haydn, and Tchaikovsky; he most recently led March 2016 performances of works by Dvořák and Bartók. Austrian pianist Till Fellner’s international career was launched in 1993 when he won the prestigious Clara Haskil International Piano Competition in Vevey, Switzerland. Over more than two decades, he has become a sought-after guest with many of the world’s most important orchestras and at the major music centers and festivals of Europe, America, and Japan. In addition to his New York Philharmonic debut in these performances, during the 2017–18 season Till Fellner returns to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra for a subscription week with frequent collaborator Manfred Honeck. In Europe he appears with Le Concert Olympique, Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg, and Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra. He performs recitals in Paris, Vienna, Japan, Spain, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, and France. Last season, he performed Mozart and Beethoven piano concertos with the Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Montreal, and Vienna symphony orchestras, Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, and London’s Philharmonia Orchestra. In 2015 he made his Berlin Philharmonic debut under Bernard Haitink. Mr. Fellner regularly collaborates with British tenor Mark Padmore, with whom he premiered a work by Hans Zender in 2016 and toured Japan in February 2017. This collaboration continues in 2017–18, with Lieder recitals in Vienna and Salzburg. In addition, he regularly performs with the Belcea Quartet. An exclusive ECM recording artist, Mr. Fellner has released the First Book of J.S. Bach’s The Well-Tempered Clavier, as well as J.S. Bach’s Two- and Three-Part Inventions and Beethoven’s Piano Concertos Nos. 4 and 5 with the Montreal Symphony Orchestra and Kent Nagano. For two seasons beginning in 2019, Till Fellner will present an all-Schubert cycle (four concerts in total) at the Schubertiade Festival and in Antwerp, Tokyo, and Taipei, among other cities. These performances mark Till Fellner’s New York Philharmonic debut. Repertoire Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s (1756–91) Piano Concerto No. 22 was premiered in Vienna in December 1785 shortly after its completion. The last of the three concertos Mozart composed that year, it was written simultaneously with The Marriage of Figaro. One movement of the concerto was particularly successful with audiences: his father, Leopold, wrote to Wolfgang’s sister, Nannerl, in January 1786: “I have had a reply from your brother in which he says that he gave without much preparation three subscription concerts to 120 subscribers, that he composed for this purpose a new piano concerto in E-flat, in which (a rather unusual occurrence!) he had to repeat the Andante.” The (more) Christoph Eschenbach / Till Fellner / 3 Philharmonic’s first performance of the concerto was in 1925, conducted by Willem Mengelberg and with Wanda Landowska as soloist. The Orchestra’s most recent performances were in June 2012 with pianist Emanuel Ax, conducted by then Music Director Alan Gilbert. The Symphony No. 9 (1887–96) is Anton Bruckner’s (1824–96) final symphonic masterpiece. Due to his physical weakness and pleurisy, he finished only three movements, spending most of his last two years working on the third movement, the Adagio. After his death, well-meaning tinkerers attempted to complete his works — including this symphony — and there has been much debate about what Bruckner intended, what is original material, and what to do with the sketches the composer left for a fourth movement. The New York Philharmonic will perform Bruckner’s original score, as published by the musicologist Leopold Nowak. Bruckner’s dedication of the Ninth Symphony reads: “To the Lord of Lords, to my dear God, my last work, and hope that He will grant me enough time to complete it and will generously accept my gift.” There is no denying that the Ninth inspires awe as its massive, sweeping score unfolds and rises sublimely, like spires of a cathedral. Willem Mengelberg presented the Philharmonic’s first presentation of this symphony in 1927; Manfred Honeck led the most recent performances in March 2014. * * * Christoph Eschenbach’s appearance is made possible by the Charles A.

  • ANNUAL REPORT 2019/20 Fadi Kheir Fadi LETTERS from the LEADERSHIP
    ANNUAL REPORT 2019/20 Fadi Kheir Fadi LETTERS FROM THE LEADERSHIP The New York Philharmonic’s 2019–20 season certainly saw it all. We recall the remarkable performances ranging from Berlioz to Beethoven, with special pride in the launch of Project 19 — the single largest commissioning program ever created for women composers — honoring the ratification of the 19th Amendment. Together with Lincoln Center we unveiled specific plans for the renovation and re-opening of David Geffen Hall, which will have both great acoustics and also public spaces that can welcome the community. In March came the shock of a worldwide pandemic hurtling down the tracks at us, and on the 10th we played what was to be our final concert of the season. Like all New Yorkers, we tried to come to grips with the life-changing ramifications The Philharmonic responded quickly and in one week created NY Phil Plays On, a portal to hundreds of hours of past performances, to offer joy, pleasure, solace, and comfort in the only way we could. In August we launched NY Phil Bandwagon, bringing live music back to New York. Bandwagon presented 81 concerts from Chris Lee midtown to the far reaches of every one of the five boroughs. In the wake of the Erin Baiano horrific deaths of Black men and women, and the realization that we must all participate to change society, we began the hard work of self-evaluation to create a Philharmonic that is truly equitable, diverse, and inclusive. The severe financial challenge caused by cancelling fully a third of our 2019–20 concerts resulting in the loss of $10 million is obvious.

    December 31, 2007, 8:00pm on PBS New York Philharmonic New Year’s Eve Gala with Joshua Bell In September Live From Lincoln Center observed one of its longtime traditions: the Gala opening concert of the new season of the New York Philharmonic. On December 31 we'll re-invent another longtime Live From Lincoln Center tradition: the Gala New Year's Eve concert by the New York Philharmonic. Music Director Lorin Maazel will be on the podium for a program of music appropriate for the festive occasion, and the guest artist will be the acclaimed violinist, Joshua Bell. I first encountered Joshua Bell at the Spoleto Festival, U.S.A. in Charleston, South Carolina. He was then barely into his teens but he was already a formidable violinist, playing chamber music with some of the world's most honored musicians. Not long afterward he burst upon the international scene at what was described as "a sensational debut" with the Philadelphia Orchestra and its Music Director of the time, Riccardo Muti. Joshua Bell was brought up in Bloomington, Indiana, where his father was a Professor at Indiana University. I.U., as it is known in academia, is an extraordinary university, with a School of Music that is world-renowned. Among its outstanding faculty was the eminent violinist Josef Gingold, who became Josh's inspired (and inspiring) mentor and devoted friend. Indeed it was the presence of Gingold in Indiana that led to the establishment of the Indianapolis International Violin Competition. One way for a young musician to attract attention is to win one of the major international competitions.

  • Till Fellner | Biography Piano
    Till Fellner | Biography Piano "There are pianists who cannot do much with Mozart’s piano works. And there are artists like the Viennese Till Fellner: musicians whose sound and musical understanding seems almost made for Mozart. Fellner's interpretation is slim and light, his cantabile shining with brightness" Till Fellner's international career began in 1993 winning First Prize at the renowned Clara Haskil Competition in Vevey, Switzerland. Since then, he is a sought after guest with major orchestras and in the great music centers of Europe, USA and Japan as well as at numerous renowned festivals. As soloist, he has appeared with orchestras such as the Berlin Philharmonic, Vienna Philharmonic, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, New York Philharmonic, Boston Symphony Orchestra, Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the NHK Symphony Orchestra. The conductors with whom he has performed include Claudio Abbado, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Herbert Blomstedt, Semyon Bychkov, Christoph von Dohnányi, Christoph Eschenbach, Bernard Haitink, Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Manfred Honeck, Sir Charles Mackerras, Sir Neville Marriner, Kurt Masur, Kent Nagano, Jonathan Nott, Kirill Petrenko and Hans Zender, among others. In the field of chamber music, Till Fellner regularly collaborates with the British tenor Mark Padmore and the Belcea Quartet. In Fall 2020, he will go on tour with violinist Viviane Hagner. In recent years, Till Fellner has devoted himself intensely to two milestones of the piano repertoire: Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier and Beethoven's 32 piano sonatas. He played a seven-part cycle with all Beethoven sonatas in New York, Washington, Tokyo, London, Paris and Vienna. Till Fellner has premiered works by Kit Armstrong, Harrison Birtwistle, Thomas Larcher, Alexander Stankovski and Hans Zender.

Molto allegro PROGRAM NOTES BY DR. RICHARD E. RODDA FRANZ SCHUBERT Overture and Ballet Music No. 2 from the Incidental Music to Rosamunde, D. 644 (1820 and 1823) Franz Schubert was born in Vienna on January 31, 1797, and died there on November 19, 1828. He composed the music for Rosamunde during the years 1820 and 1823. The ballet was premiered in Vienna on December 20, 1823 at the Theater-an-der-Wein, with the composer conducting. The Incidental Music to Rosamunde was first performed by the Pittsburgh Symphony on November 9, 1906, conducted by Emil Paur at Carnegie Music Hall. Most recently, Lorin Maazel conducted the Overture to Rosamunde on March 14, 1986. The score calls for pairs of woodwinds, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, timpani and strings. Performance tine: approximately 17 minutes Schubert wrote more for the stage than is commonly realized. His output contains over a dozen works for the theater, including eight complete operas and operettas. Every one flopped. Still, he doggedly followed each new theatrical opportunity that came his way.
