La colaboración de la JONDE con Baluarte en el verano de 2014 fue tan grata, cordial y enriquecedora, que cuando se nos propuso volver a realizar un encuentro no tuvimos la menor duda en aceptarlo sin reservas. Aparte de la plena disponibilidad de los espacios, como tuve ocasión de La Joven Orquesta decir públicamente en la rueda de Nacional de España prensa que se celebró unos días an- tes del primer concierto, nunca —en regresa a Baluarte los ya casi quince años que llevo al frente de la dirección artística de la JONDE— había visto un despliegue mediático similar al que Baluarte se encargó de coordinar. Hubo días en que llegué a mantener hasta tres entrevistas seguidas con diversos medios (prensa escrita, radio, televisión), lo que sin duda contribuyó a que Pamplona tomara con- ciencia de la presencia de la orquesta —los propios mú- sicos, sin duda, contribuyeron también a ello— y a la di- fusión de la actividad en todas sus fases: la de prepara- ción en ensayos seccionales a cargo de profesores de las diversas especialidades instrumentales; la de los ensa- yos de conjunto con el director invitado —el alemán Lutz Köhler en aquella ocasión—; y por último la celebración del primer concierto de la gira.

GEORGE PEHLIVANIAN VAN BELGIË LIEBRECHT VANBECKEVOORT (PIANO) RACH3 PROGRAMMA Sergei Rachmaninov (1873-1943) Concerto voor piano en orkest, nr. 3 in d klein, op. 30 Allegro ma non tanto Intermezzo Finale pauze Witold Lutosławski (1913-1994) Symfonie nr. 4 György Ligeti (1923-2006) Roemeens Concerto SERGEI RACHMANINOV de laatste overlevende van de negentiende eeuw Het leven van Rachmaninov is makkelijk samen te vatten, maar laat zich niet eenvoudig begrijpen, al was het maar om de vele tijds- en decorwissels. De componist werd geboren op 1 april 1873 op een Russisch, aristocratisch landgoed en stierf zeventig jaar later, halverwege de Tweede Wereldoorlog, in de Amerikaanse cinemastad Beverly Hills. Wie zijn leven in scène wil brengen, moet zich inbeelden dat het begon als een toneelstuk van Anton Tsjechov en eindigde als een film noir van Nicholas Ray. Het scharnierpunt daartussen is niets minder dan een politieke gebeurtenis van wereldformaat: de Russische Revolutie, het verdwijnen van de tsarenstaat, de machtsgreep van het Rode Leger en de burgeroorlog die daarvan het gevolg was. Als muzikaal talent via de genen wordt meegegeven, kreeg Rachmaninov het zijne via zijn grootvader. Zijn droom om een imponerende symfonie te schrijven, wilde echter niet meteen lukken. De druk om een Tsjajkovskiaanse symfonie te schrijven was zo zwaar dat Rachmaninov er bijna een jaar over deed om de muziek in de steigers te zetten. Dat hij zo zwaar tilde aan de afgang van zijn Eerste Symfonie had mogelijk ook een autobiografische oorzaak.

Armenian opposition in limbo after government crackdown Armenia's major opposition parties remain vague on their immediate steps after Prosperous Armenia (BHK), admit- tedly the most influential of them, came under huge government pressure earlier this month. The BHK led by tycoon Gagik Tsarukyan dramatically toned down its criticism of President Serzh Sargsyan and his government after suffering the consequences of what appeared to be a crackdown unleashed by the head of state. Serzh Sargsyan and senior members of his ruling Republican Party of Armenia (HHK) lashed out at Tsarukyan on February 12 after the BHK leader effectively presented them with an "ulti- matum" - to give up controversial plans for a constitutional reform or face sus- tained street protests seeking to oust the current administration. remarks, calling for "peaceful ways" of is one of the key demands of the HHK for After a number of BHK members settling disputes.

Nel 1923 Whiteman chiese a George Gershwin, appena venticinquenne ma già affermato per molte canzoni di successo e importanti musical per Broadway, un pezzo da concerto da eseguire con la sua orchestra. Dapprima Gershwin esitò, poi raccolse l’invi- to e scrisse abbastanza in fretta il lavoro, in una stesura per due pianoforti che fu poi passata a Ferde Grofé, l’arrangiatore di Whiteman, per essere orchestrata. Nel pomeriggio del 12 feb- braio 1924, nel corso di un concerto intitolato An Experiment in Modern Music, Whiteman e la sua Palais Royal Orchestra esegui- rono per la prima volta la Rhapsody in blue all’Aeolian Hall di New York: tra il pubblico molti musicisti importanti, alcuni dei quali decisamente appartenenti al fronte classico, a cominciare da Sergej Rachmaninov.
