Arabella Steinbacher Performs Tchaikovsky's Sublime Violin PRESS RELEASE Arabella Steinbacher performs Tchaikovsky’s sublime violin concerto on her 1716 Stradivarius at Edinburgh’s Usher Hall Dresden Philharmonic Orchestra with Arabella Steinbacher Sunday Classics at Usher Hall, Edinburgh 3:00pm, Sunday 27 May 2018 Arabella Steinbacher. Photo by Peter Rigaud IMAGES HERE Tchikovsky's sublime violin concerto part of intoxicating all-Russian programme “Steinbacher was wonderful to watch as she carried the melody up to angelic heights, then let it meander down like a falling feather” **** Bachtrack on Arabella Steinbacher The Dresden Philharmonic was founded in 1870, and from the outset brought an expressive musical spirit to the city. The orchestra offers great musical and stylistic variety - on the one hand, the orchestra has been able to retain its very own “German” sound in the Romantic repertoire, but has also developed flexibility of sound and style for Baroque and Viennese Classic music and modern works. This grand old orchestra makes a welcome return to the Usher Hall with an intoxicating all-Russian programme. Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto is one of the most important works for the instrument in the Romantic repertoire. It is widely considered to have been inspired by his own music theory pupil- Joseph Kotek, who Tchaikovsky was very close with. It was never officially dedicated to Kotek, however, the reason as he confided to his publisher was “… in order to avoid gossip of various kinds". Shostakovich wrote his fifth symphony in the shadow of Stalin’s oppressive communist regime. Despite the circumstances, when he premiered the work it was received extremely well and is now probably the best-loved of the composer’s symphonies. Covering the full gamut of emotions, it’s said that at the first performance members of the audience cried during the emotional third movement. Best bring a hanky just in case. Arabella Steinbacher is making her Usher Hall debut and brings her charismatic and energetic performance style to this hugely popular work, with the beautiful tone of her 1716 Stradivarius coming into its own. Steinbacher began studying violin at the age of three, and became the youngest violin student of Ana Chumachenko at the Munich Academy of Music at only 9 years old. She is now known as one of today’s leading violinists since her extraordinary 2004 debut with the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France under Sir Neville Marriner in Paris. Joining the Dresden Philharmonic Orchestra for a pre-concert talk will be BBC Broadcaster and composer Stephen Johnson. His appearance is in support of his new book ‘How Shostakovich changed my Mind’, published 2 April by Notting Hill Editions. The book explores the power of Shostakovich’s music during Stalin’s reign of terror, and relates how it gave form to the fears and hopes of an oppressed nation. Johnson writes of the extraordinary healing effect of music on sufferers of mental illness and tells of how the music of Shostakovich gave him unexpected strength during his struggles with bipolar disorder since adolescence.

DRESDEN PHILHARMONIC The Dresden Philharmonic is the orchestra of Dresden, the State Capital of Saxony. Since 2011, Michael Sanderling has been its Principal Conductor, following Kurt Masur, Marek Janowski, Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos and others in this position. The Dresden Philharmonic continues the tradition of the Ratsmusik, the city council’s musicians who were first mentioned in the fifteenth century and had grown into an orchestra by the early nineteenth century. Since 1870, the year when Dresden got its first great concert hall, the Philharmonic’s symphony concerts have been an established part of the city’s concert life. The Dresden Philharmonic has ever since been a concert orchestra with regular ventures into the fields of opera concertante and oratorios. It is housed in the Kulturpalast in the middle of the Old Town. The listed shell of the building will be built-in with a new, ultra-modern concert hall by 2017. Until then, the main venues for the Philharmonic’s great concerts are the Albertinum and the Schauspielhaus. The Dresden Philharmonic offers great musical and stylistic variety. On the one hand, the orchestra has been able to retain its very own “German” sound in the Romantic repertoire. On the other hand, it has developed flexibility of sound and style for Baroque and Viennese Classic music as well as for modern works. Renowned conductors and composers headed the orchestra early on, from Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Dvořák and Richard Strauss to Erich Kleiber and Knappertsbusch, Previn and Marriner, to Andris Nelsons and Kristjan Järvi. Premieres remain an important part of the orchestra’s programme today. The Dresden Philharmonic joins the Dresden Kreuzchor for the Christmas and Easter Bach performances at the Kreuzkirche. For the great choral symphonies the orchestra can rely on the Dresden Philharmonic Choir as an excellent partner. Another important tradition is chamber music and chamber symphonies performed by the Dresden Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra, all of whose musicians come from the Dresden Philharmonic. Not only does the Dresden Philharmonic enjoy an extraordinarily large number of regular subscribers; with its family programmes, film music concerts etc. it does a great job in introducing classical music to new groups of listeners. Guest performances all over the world are testimony to the high renown the Dresden Philharmonic enjoys in the world of classical music. Another remarkable aspect is the Philharmonic’s impressive discography which started to develop in 1937. A new paired cycle of symphonies of Dmitri Shostakovich and Ludwig van Beethoven under the direction of Principal Conductor Michael Sanderling is currently recorded. Sony Classical has released the debut album of the fascinating combination of the Symphonies No. 6 in November 2015. ARABELLA STEINBACHER Outstanding, internationally honored violinist Arabella Steinbacher is known as one of today’s leading violinists since back in 2004 when giving her extraordinary debut with the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France under Sir Neville Marriner in Paris. Defined by a diverse repertoire, she plays not only all major classical and romantic violin concertos but also those of Bartók, Berg, Glazunov, Katchaturian, Milhaud, Prokofiev, Schnittke. Shostakovich, Stravinsky, Szymanowski, Hindemith, Hartmann and Sofia Gubaidulinas Offertorium to name a few. In Germany Arabella Steinbacher is frequently playing with almost every leading orchestra including the BR Symphony Orchestra, the Gewandhaus Orchestra Leipzig, the Staatskapelle Dresden, the WDR Symphony Orchestra, the Munich Philharmonic and the NDR Symphony Orchestra. Conductors such as the late Lorin Maazel, Christoph von Dohnányi, Riccardo Chailly, Herbert Blomstedt, Christoph Eschenbach, Charles Dutoit, Marek Janowski, Yannick Nézet-Séguin and Thomas Hengelbrock accompany her way. Arabella Steinbacher appears with the leading international orchestras including New York Philharmonic, Boston Symphony Orchestra, London Symphony Orchestra, Philharmonia Orchestra, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Philadelphia Orchestra, National Symphony Orchestra in Washington D.C., San Francisco Symphony, Cleveland Orchestra, Seattle Symphony, Sydney Symphony, Sao Paulo Symphony, Orchestra National de France, Orchestre de Paris, Vienna Symphony, Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra and NHK Symphony Orchestra. Her debuts at the Salzburger Festspiele, at the “Proms” in London at Royal Albert Hall and at the New York Carnegie Hall have been praised by international press. In the season 2015/16 Arabella Steinbacher continued her collaboration with Festival Strings Lucerne as Principal Guest Artist. Besides touring with them throughout Italy, she is also on tour with the Philharmonia Orchestra under the baton of Esa-Pekka Salonen throughout Switzerland. She will debut with Los Angeles Philharmonic under Andrew Manze at Hollywood Bowl, play both of Prokofiev’s violin concertos with RSB Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Marek Janowski and collaborate with WDR Symphony Orchestra Cologne at the Dresden Music Festival.

    Dresdner Philharmonie The Dresden Philharmonic can look back on 150 years of history as the orchestra of Saxony’s capital Dresden. When the so-called “Gewerbehaussaal” opened on 29 November 1870, the citizens of the city were given the opportunity to organise major orchestra concerts. Philharmonic concerts were held regularly starting in 1885; the orchestra adopted its present name in 1923. In its first decades, composers such as Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Dvořák and Strauss conducted the Dresdner Philharmonie with their own works. The first desks were presided over by outstanding concertmasters such as Stefan Frenkel, Simon Goldberg and the cellists Stefan Auber and Enrico Mainardi. From 1934, Carl Schuricht and Paul van Kempen led the orchestra; van Kempen in particular guided the Dresden Philharmonic to top achievements. All of Bruckner’s symphonies were first performed in their original versions, which earned the orchestra the reputation of a “Bruckner orchestra” and brought renowned guest conductors such as Hermann Abendroth, Eduard van Beinum, Fritz Busch, Eugen Jochum, Joseph Keilbert, Erich Kleiber, Hans Knappertsbusch and Franz Konwitschny to the rostrum. After 1945 and into the 1990s, Heinz Bongartz, Horst Förster, Kurt Masur (from 1994 also honorary conductor), Günther Herbig, Herbert Kegel, Jörg-Peter Weigle and Michel Plasson were the principal conductors. In recent years, conductors such as Marek Janowski, Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos and Michael Sanderling have shaped the orchestra. As of season 2019/2020, Marek Janowski has returned to the Dresden Philharmonic as principal conductor and artistic director. Its home is the highly modern concert hall inaugurated in April 2017 in the Kulturpalast building in the heart of the historic old town.

  • Aber Der Richtige
    Richard Strauss Aber der Richtige... Violin Concerto Miniatures Arabella Steinbacher WDR Symphony Orchestra Lawrence Foster Maybe it is because of my name, which my parents gave me as great Strauss lovers, that his music touches me so much. Born into a world full of singing, as a child I used to sit under the grand piano in my "music cave" while my father rehearsed with singers. The famous duet from Arabella, which my parents engraved in our banisters, has accompanied me since I can remember. This duet was finally the impetus to record an album with only works by Richard Strauss. Of course, even if the sung lyrics are missing, I have dared to sing these songs on my violin and hope that singers will forgive me. I hope you enjoy traveling through this Romantic sound world.

  • The Glimmerglass Festival
    A 2017 Guide FEATURE ARTICLE Training Opera’s Next Generation A Tale of Two Festivals April 2017 Festivals Editor’s Note In our largest and most varied Guide to Summer Festivals yet, we focus on a common thread: training the next generation of performers and the artistic personnel who support them. At many festivals, young artists receive private lessons, coaching sessions, master classes, or all of the above during the day. By night they are either performing, observing the seasoned pros who train them by day, or a combination of the two. But honing or developing the skills of tomorrow’s generation of musicians is only part of the equation. It’s summertime, after all, and while the living may not exactly be “easy,” it’s certainly a lot more relaxed than during the season or school year. Consider the difference between waiting in the green-room line post-concert A 2017 Guide to shake the maestro’s hand vs. running into him in the festival cafeteria line, or at the local pub after the concert, or on a morning jog. Such is the kind of cross-fertilization for which festivals are known, and one of the reasons they are such ideal settings for rising artists. Sometimes the trainees are fully integrated into the schedule, such as at the Santa Fe Opera, where young artists are featured, often in leading roles. Sometimes they work independently of the main event, such as at Tanglewood, where the Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra, for instance, is comprised entirely of TMC Fellows and plays its own concerts, alongside the center-stage Boston Symphony Orchestra (whose members form much of the faculty).
