WILEY HITCHCOCK Quartet in B-flat major, Op. 64, No. 3 JOSEPH HAYDN Chamber music owes much to Joseph Haydn. Almost all of the chamber works before his contributions were based on the continuo principle: the chamber group was supported by a keyboard instrument which filled in the harmonies between a bass part and the florid upper parts. Now, since the continuo player extemporized, there was much indiscriminate doubling of notes, and the written-down parts of the chamber instruments had no absolute tonal meaning; the composer could never be sure how his music would sound. In nearly eighty string quartets, and many other chamber works, Haydn attempted to solve the problem of creating chamber music intended as independent of the "help ing hand" of a continuo. -

Invitations have been issued only to those individuals who will be seated on the dais. Both you and Mrs. Rubinstein, of course, will be among our distinguished dais guests. I am enclosing the agenda for the evening. The actual programs will not be ready until Wednesday. This should provide the timing and sequence of our program. The eve ning is one in which you will be honored with the Scopus Award, the most coveted and prestigious award of the American Friends of the Hebrew University. I am also pleased to tell you that we were fortunate in securing for our musical program one of your protegees, Janina Fialkowska, whom we were fortunate to hear during our recent visit to Jerusalem this past summer.

Current Review Christian Ferras plays Beethoven and Berg Violin Concertos aud 95.590 EAN: 4022143955906 4022143955906 Fanfare (Robert Maxham - 2012.05.01) Audite’s program of violin concertos by Ludwig van Beethoven and Alban Berg captures two moments in the life of Christian Ferras, the first a studio recording from November 19, 1951, made in the Jesus-Christus-Kirche after the 18-year-old violinist had given a live performance of the work at the Titania Palast and more than a decade before he would record the work with Herbert von Karajan and the same orchestra. The young Ferras sounds both flexible and sprightly in the first movement’s passagework, producing a suave tone that might be described as almost gustatory in its effect as he soars above the orchestra. That tone lacks the sharp edge of Zino Francescatti’s and even the slightly reedy quality of Arthur Grumiaux’s, and he never seems to be deploying it simply for the sheer beauty of it: As sumptuous as it might sound, it always serves his high-minded concept of the work itself. And his playing of Fritz Kreisler’s famous cadenza similarly subordinates virtuosity to musical effect. Karl Böhm sets the mood for a probing exploration of the slow movement, in which Ferras sounds similarly committed; he never allows himself to be diverted into mannerism or eccentricity, as Anne-Sophie Mutter does in her performance with Kurt Masur and the New York Philharmonic (Deutsche Grammophon 289 471 349, Fanfare 26:5 and 26:6). What the young Michael Rabin achieved in the showpieces of Wieniawski and Paganini, Ferras arguably exceeded in the music of Beethoven. -
