Pianist Richard Goode Brings an All-Bach Program to Symphony Center For Immediate Release: Press Contacts: March 25, 2016 Eileen Chambers, 312-294-3092 Photos Available By Request [email protected] PIANIST RICHARD GOODE BRINGS AN ALL-BACH PROGRAM TO SYMPHONY CENTER J.S. Bach’s Three-Part Inventions Anchor the Program Sunday, April 3, at 3 p.m. CHICAGO—The Symphony Center Presents (SCP) PowerShares QQQ Piano Series continues with a performance by renowned pianist Richard Goode on Sunday, April 3 at 3:00 p.m. Hailed as one of today’s premiere interpreters of both the Classical and Romantic repertoire, Goode performs an all-Bach program at Symphony Center featuring two selections from The Well- Tempered Clavier, the French Suite No. 5 in G Major, Partita No. 2 in C Minor, and the Italian Concerto. Bach’s complete set of three-part inventions or Sinfonias round out the program. Similar to J.S. Bach’s two-part inventions, instructional keyboard pieces written in every major and minor key, the Sinfonias or three-part inventions were written by the composer for his eldest son Wilhelm Friedemann Bach who was taking lessons from his father. When selecting the repertoire for his all-Bach program Goode notes “I started studying them as a whole, and I found them to be an amazing thing to do—to do 15 of the pieces, one after another, each of them very short, incredibly varied and incredibly interesting.” Goode adds, “The more I play them, the more remarkable they become in the variation [and] the emotional richness.” Richard Goode has been hailed as a pianist who communicates with deep sensitivity, bringing fresh interpretations to the Classical and Romantic keyboard repertoire. In frequent demand with major orchestras the world-over, Goode’s solo appearances this season include those with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, the Orchestre de Paris, the Cincinnati Symphony, and the Orchestre National de Lyon, among others. Goode has amassed a discography of more than two-dozen records, including the Grammy® award-winning recording of the Brahms Sonatas with clarinetist Richard Stoltzman, and a Grammy®-nominated 10-CD set of the Beethoven Sonatas. His most recent release was the acclaimed 2009 recording of the complete Beethoven Piano Concertos with Iván Fischer and the Budapest Festival Orchestra. Goode returns to Symphony Center in the 2016/17 season for a performance of Beethoven’s Second Piano Concerto with Iván Fischer and the Budapest Festival Orchestra on February 8, 2017.

In regular performances with the major orchestras, recitals in the world’s music capitals, and through his extensive and acclaimed Nonesuch recordings, he has won a large and devoted following. Gramophone magazine recently captured the essence of what makes Richard Goode such an original and compelling artist: '‘Every time we hear him, he impresses us as better than we remembered, surprising us, surpassing our expectations and communicating perceptions that stay in the mind.” Richard Goode opens his 2015-2016 season as soloist with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra and Jeffrey Kahane, followed by appearances with the Orchestre de Paris and Herbert Blomstedt, the Cincinnati Symphony and David Zinman, and the Orchestre National de Lyon and Ton Koopman, among others. A compelling recitalist, Mr. Goode will be featured in the Great Performers Series at Lincoln Center in New York, at the Royal Festival Hall in London, in the Chicago Symphony series, and at major venues in the U.S. and Europe including those in Budapest, Cleveland, Denver, Dublin, Genova, Glasgow, Kansas City, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Vancouver and Washington, DC. He will also return to both the Gilmore Festival and Krannert Center at the University of Illinois in addition to performing in a gala concert celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society. In the 2014-2015 season Mr. Goode opened Lincoln Center’s Mostly Mozart Festival and was featured in five appearances at Carnegie Hall. In addition to a recital in the main hall, he appeared as a soloist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Andris Nelsons, in two chamber music concerts with young artists from Marlboro Music Festival and conducting a master class on Debussy piano works. He was also heard as soloist with orchestras including the Los Angeles Philharmonic, St. Louis, Milwaukee and San Diego Symphonies. In addition, he performed recitals at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, Wigmore Hall in London, the Celebrity Series of Boston, Cal Performances in Berkeley, the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society, the University Musical Society in Ann Arbor, at Shriver Hall in Baltimore, in Toronto at the Royal Conservatory, at The Schubert Club in St. Paul, Spivey Hall in Atlanta, Yale School of Music, Dartmouth College, Duke Performances, Middlebury College and in other major series in the U.S. and Europe. Among the highlights of recent seasons have been the recitals in which, for the first time in his career, Mr. Goode performed the last three Beethoven Sonatas in one program, drawing capacity audiences and raves in such cities as New York, London and Berlin. The New York Times, in reviewing his Carnegie Hall performance, hailed his interpretations as “majestic, profound readings......Mr. Goode’s playing throughout was organic and inspired, the noble, introspective themes unfolding with a simplicity that rendered them all the more moving.” Recent seasons have also included performances with the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra led by Fabio Luisi at Carnegie Hall; with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Gustavo Dudamel; with Orpheus on tour and at Carnegie Hall playing the Schumann Concerto; and on tour with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. An exclusive Nonesuch recording artist, Goode has made more than two dozen recordings over the years, ranging from solo and chamber works to lieder and concertos. His latest recording of the five Beethoven concertos with the Budapest Festival Orchestra and Iván Fischer was released in 2009 to exceptional critical acclaim, described as “a landmark recording” by the Financial Times and nominated for a Grammy award. His 10-CD set of the complete Beethoven sonatas cycle, the first-ever by an American-born pianist, was nominated for a Grammy and has been ranked among the most distinguished recordings of this repertoire. Other recording highlights include a series of Bach Partitas, a duo recording with Dawn Upshaw, and Mozart piano concertos with the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra. A native of New York, Richard Goode studied with Elvira Szigeti and Claude Frank, with Nadia Reisenberg at the Mannes College of Music, and with Rudolf Serkin at the Curtis Institute. His numerous prizes over the years include the Young Concert Artists Award, First Prize in the Clara Haskil Competition, the Avery Fisher Prize, and a Grammy award for his recording of the Brahms Sonatas with clarinetist Richard Stoltzman. His first public performances of the complete cycle of Beethoven sonatas at Kansas City’s Folly Theater and New York’s 92Y in 1987-88 brought him to international attention being hailed by the New York Times as “among the season’s most important and memorable events.” It was later performed with great success at London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall in 1994 and 1995. Mr. Goode served, together with Mitsuko Uchida, as co-Artistic Director of the Marlboro Music School and Festival in Marlboro, Vermont from 1999 through 2013. Participating initially at the age of 14, at what the New Yorker magazine recently described as "the classical world's most coveted retreat," he has made a notable contribution to this unique community over the 28 summers he has spent there. He is married to the violinist Marcia Weinfeld, and, when the Goodes are not on tour, they and their collection of some 5,000 volumes live in New York City. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra: www.cso.org and www.csosoundsandstories.org Founded in 1891, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra is consistently hailed as one of the greatest orchestras in the world. Since 2010, the preeminent conductor Riccardo Muti has served as its 10th music director. Yo-Yo Ma is the CSO’s Judson and Joyce Green Creative Consultant, and Samuel Adams and Elizabeth Ogonek are its Mead Composers-in-Residence. From baroque through contemporary music, the CSO commands a vast repertoire. Its renowned musicians annually perform more than 150 concerts, most at Symphony Center in Chicago and, each summer, at the suburban Ravinia Festival. They regularly tour nationally and internationally. Since 1892, the CSO has made 58 international tours, performing in 29 countries on five continents.

  • Familiar Faces in Symphony Season
    Albanian violinist Tedi Papavrami will play Shostakovich’s Violin Concerto No. 1 with the Santa Rosa Symphony Oct. 5, 6 & 7. The Press Democrat . Friday, October 4, 2013 by Diane Peterson Familiar Faces in Symphony Season There will be lots of familiar faces when the Santa Rosa Symphony opens its 2013-2014 season this weekend at the Green Music Center's Weill Hall. The “Encores and Debuts” season not only welcomes back such soloists as cellist Maya Beiser but showcases familiar works such as Jean Sibelius' Symphony No. 2. “That's a theme running through the season,” said Santa Rosa Symphony Music Director Bruno Ferrandis. “Because it's anchored in the repertoire, it's one of the most balanced seasons I've ever realized.” The orchestra also will present a few contemporary works on the heels of winning an award from the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) for innovative programming during 2012-2013. “For me, it's mission accomplished, as far as the first season in the hall,” Ferrandis said. “This year, we have a lot of things to explore as well ... it's a very creative and modern program.” For Ferrandis, last season flew by quickly — it was the symphony's first year as resident orchestra of the new hall — and ended on a high note with Dmitri Shostakovich's Symphony No. 10. This season, the symphony picks up where it left off by performing Shostakovich's Symphony No. 5, one of the composer's most popular works. When it was written in 1937, Shostakovich was under intense scrutiny by the Soviet government.

One involves blowing against a reed, the other striking with mallets – but together they create a wonderful musical mystery.’ The renowned clarinetist, a two-time Grammy Award winner, could equally well be talking about his relationship with his wife, the marimba player Mika Stoltzman. For all relationships have an element of mystery, sometimes light and sometimes dark, and it was during an experience of the latter kind – a painful divorce – that he began working with Mika. She had been a long-time admirer of the American’s work via his recordings and had previously invited him to perform at a music festival in her small hometown of Amakusa in Japan.
