MAHLER / SYMPHONY NO. 3 CHICAGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA / BERNARD HAITINK / MICHELLE Deyoung CHICAGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA BERNARD HAITINK / MICHELLE Deyoung 23 “The CSO has played the Mahler Third on many occasions but almost never with the degree of concentration, fervor and refinement it summoned for Haitink at this performance. But it was the sublime, transcendent finale toward which every- thing built, and Haitink rightly made it the beating heart of his performance. With Haitink and the CSO, a great musical partnership has been born.” John von Rhein, Chicago Tribune, October 21, 2006 “. Bernard Haitink debuted as CSO principal conductor with a performance of Mahler’s massive 100-minute Third Symphony that was one for the history books. Haitink showed that he was here to bring out the mysteries of this magical piece, one that contains an entire world, and that he wanted to meet the CSO’s players at a mountaintop of artistry that they would share with the composer.” Andrew Patner, Chicago Sun-Times, October 21, 2006 CSO Resound is underwritten This recording is made by a generous gift from possible with the Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Smykal. generous support of MAHLER / SYMPHONY NO. 3 CHICAGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA / BERNARD HAITINK / MICHELLE DeYOUNG CHICAGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA BERNARD HAITINK / MICHELLE DeYOUNG 23 Oboes Saxophone Tuba Eugene Izotov Burl Lane Gene Pokorny Principal Principal The Nancy and Larry The Arnold Jacobs Principal Fuller Chair Horns Tuba Chair, endowed by Michael Henoch Dale Clevenger Christine Querfeld Assistant Principal and Principal Acting English Horn Daniel Gingrich Timpani Scott Hostetler Associate Principal Donald Koss James Smelser Principal Clarinets David Griffin Vadim Karpinos Rosenberg Todd by Photo Larry Combs Oto Carrillo Assistant Bernard Haitink Principal Susanna Drake Conductor John Bruce Yeh Percussion Assistant Principal Trumpets Patricia Dash Gregory Smith Christopher Martin Acting Principal J.

  • Frederica Von Stade
    FREDERICA VON STADE Mezzo-soprano Described by the New York Times as "one of America's finest artists and singers," Frederica von Stade continues to be extolled as one of the music world's most beloved figures. Known to family, friends, and fans by her nickname "Flicka," the mezzo-soprano has enriched the world of classical music for three decades. Miss von Stade's career has taken her to the stages of the world's great opera houses and concert halls. She began at the top, when she received a contract from Sir Rudolf Bing during the Metropolitan Opera auditions, and since her debut in 1970 she has sung nearly all of her great roles with that company. In January 2000, the company celebrated the 30th anniversary of her debut with a new production of The Merry Widow specifically for her, and in 1995, as a celebration of her 25th anniversary, the Metropolitan Opera created for her a new production of Pelléas et Mélisande. In addition, Miss von Stade has appeared with every leading American opera company, including San Francisco Opera, Lyric Opera of Chicago, and Los Angeles Opera. Her career in Europe has been no less spectacular, with new productions mounted for her at Teatro alla Scala, Royal Opera Covent Garden, the Vienna State Opera, and the Paris Opera. She is invited regularly by the finest conductors, among them Claudio Abbado, Charles Dutoit, James Levine, Kurt Masur, Riccardo Muti, Seiji Ozawa, André Previn, Leonard Slatkin, and Michael Tilson Thomas, to appear in concert with the world's leading orchestras, including the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Chicago Symphony, Cleveland Orchestra, New York Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, San Francisco Symphony, London Symphony Orchestra, Washington's National Symphony, and the Orchestra of La Scala.

    RUSSIAN, SOVIET & POST-SOVIET SYMPHONIES A Discography of CDs and LPs Prepared by Michael Herman Dmitri Shostakovich (1906-1975) Born in St. Petersburg. He entered the Petrograd Conservatory at age 13 and studied piano with Leonid Nikolayev and composition with Maximilian Steinberg. His graduation piece, the Symphony No. 1, gave him immediate fame and from there he went on to become the greatest composer during the Soviet Era of Russian history despite serious problems with the political and cultural authorities. He also concertized as a pianist and taught at the Moscow Conservatory. He was a prolific composer whose compositions covered almost all genres from operas, ballets and film scores to works for solo instruments and voice.

    Rezensionen für Gustav Mahler: Das Lied von der Erde aud 95.491 4022143954916 Badische Zeitung 18.11.2003 (Heinz W. Koch - 2003.11.18) ... Wie spezifisch, ja wie radikal sich Gielens Mahler ausnimmt, erhellt schlagartig, wenn man Rafael Kubeliks dreieinhalb Jahrzehnte alte und vor einer Weile wiederveröffentlichte Einspielung dagegenhält. Eine gehörige Überraschung gab’s schon einmal – als nämlich die nie veröffentlichten Münchner Funk-„Meistersinger“ von 1967 plötzlich zu haben waren. Jetzt ist es Gustav Mahlers drei Jahre später eingespieltes „Lied von der Erde“, das erstmals über die Ladentische geht. Es gehört zu einer Mahler Gesamtaufnahme, die offenbar vor der rühmlich bekannten bei der Deutschen Grammophon entstand. Zumindest bei den hier behandelten Sinfonien Nr. 3 und Nr. 6 war das der Fall. Beim „Lied von der Erde“ offeriert das Symphonie-Orchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks, dessen Chef Kubelik damals war, ein erstaunlich präsentes, erstaunlich aufgesplittertes Klangbild, das sowohl das Idyllisch-Graziöse hervorkehrt wie das Schwerblütig-Ausdrucksgesättigte mit großem liedsinfonischem Atem erfüllt – eine erstrangige Wiedergabe. Auch die beiden 1967/68 erarbeiteten Sinfonien erweisen sich als bestechend durchhörbar. Vielleicht geht Kubelik eine Spur naiver vor als die beim Sezieren der Partitur schärfer verfahrenden Dirigenten wie Gielen, bricht sich, wo es geht, das ererbte böhmische Musikantentum zumindest für Momente Bahn. Da staunt einer eher vor Mahler, als dass er ihn zu zerlegen sucht. Wenn es eine Verwandtschaft gibt, dann ist es die zu Bernstein. Das Triumphale der „Dritten“, das Nostalgische an ihr wird nicht als Artefakt betrachtet, sondern „wie es ist“: Emotion zur Analyse. ... (aus einer Besprechung mit den Mahler-Interpretationen Michael Gielens) CD Compact n°169 (octobre 2003) (Benjamín Fontvelia - 2003.10.01) Rafael Kubelik/Audite Rafael Kubelik/Audite Full review text restrained for copyright reasons.
