Allegretto grazioso SOLOIST EUGENE ISTOMIN Mr. IsTOMiN uses the Steinway Piano BALDWIN PIANO *RCA VICTOR RECORDS [5] SYMPHONIC POEM, "THE MOLDAU" ("VLTAVA") By Bedrich (Friedrich) Smetana Born in Leitomischl, Bohemia, March 2, 1824; ^^^^ in Prague, May 12, 1884 The Symphonic Poem The Moldau was composed in November and December, 1874. The first performance was at Zofin, April 4, 1875. The cycle of symphonic poems of which this was the second, and which was dedicated to the city of Prague, was performed there for the benefit of the composer on November 5, 1882. ''Vltava" is known outside of Bohemia as "The Moldau," a name which derives from the Latin Multava. The following program is printed as a preface to the score: Two springs pour forth their streams in the shade of the Bohemian forest, the one warm and gushing, the other cold and tranquil. Their waves, joyfully flowing over their rocky beds, unite and sparkle in the morning sun. The forest brook, rushing on, becomes the River Moldau, which, with its waters speeding through Bohemia's valleys, grows into a mighty stream. It flows through dense woods from which come the joyous sounds of the chase, and the notes of the hunter's horn are heard ever nearer and nearer. It flows through emerald meadows and lowlands where a wedding feast is being celebrated with song and dancing. At night, in its shining waves, wood and water nymphs hold their revels, and in these waves are reflected many a fortress and castle — witnesses of bygone splendor One of New England's Fine Restaurants Sheraton^Biltmore GEORGE THOMAS CULLEN, General Manager [6] of chivalry, and the vanished martial fame of days that are no more. At the rapids of St. John the stream speeds on, winding its way through cataracts and hewing the path for its foaming waters through the rocky chasm into the broad river bed, in which it flows on in majestic calm toward Prague, welcomed by time-honored Vysehrad, to disappear in the far distance from the poet's gaze. The other symphonic poems of the cycle are as intimately connected with the past of Bohemia and its people. The first, Vysehrad, describes a historic citadel, the ancient stronghold of Bohemian kings. The third, Sdrka, takes its name from an Amazon of Bohemia who beguiled a tyrannical leader, the Knight Ctirad, in order to slay him. A valley north of Prague bears her name. The fourth. From Bohemia's Fields and Groves, is pastoral in character, using dance rhythms and evoking peasant scenes. The fifth. Tabor, takes its name from a fortress of the Hussites and is built upon a Hussite chorale, "You are God's warriors." The last, Blanik, is the name of a mountain where the Hussite warriors sleep in honorable burial, awaiting the resurrection which shall glorify for eternity their deeds of faith.

Op. 88 By Antonin Dvorak Born September 8, 1841, in Mulhausen, Bohemia; died May 1, 1904, in Prague Composed between October 26 and November 8, 1889, this symphony was published as No. 4 in 1892. It was first performed from the manuscript, February 2, 1890, at Prague under the composer's direction and was likewise conducted by the composer in Cambridge, England, June 16, 1891. The first performance in Boston by this Orchestra was on February 26, 1892, the year of its publication, Arthur Nikisch con- ducting. The only other performances were under the direction of Charles Munch, February 2-3, 1951, and under Antal Dorati, November 22, 1958. This symphony, published as the Fourth (the Fifth being the Symphony "From the New World," published in 1893) was actually the eighth of the symphonies of Dvofak, four symphonies earlier than the published five having been since brought forth. The orchestration includes 2 flutes and piccolo, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones and tuba, timpani and strings. The score is dedi- cated "To the Bohemian Academy of Emperor Franz Josef for the Encouragement of Art and Literature." 'T^HE Symphony opens with a theme in G minor stated by the winds -- and, after a pianissimo cadence, a second theme in G major is made known by the flute in birdhke suggestion.

The minor theme introduces the recapitulation which nevertheless is dominated by the flute theme worked up to a brilliant close. The adagio opens with a melody by the strings in E-flat major which changes form as it is taken up pianissimo by the woodwinds. A middle section in C major brings a new theme from the flute and oboe over descending violin passages. A repetition of the first part is briefly worked. The allegretto grazioso (in G minor) is not the classical minuet with regular repeated sections, but is based on a theme of haunting charm, introduced by the first violins and considerably developed. The trio (in G major) is a waltz-like theme first heard from flute and oboe. There is a literal repetition of the first part and a coda. The finale (in G major) opens with a trumpet fanfare and an initial theme from the cellos somewhat in the character of the composer's Slavonic Dances. The theme is given to the full orchestra, its returns interspersed with new subjects from the flute and later from the oboes and clarinets. The principal theme is heard as at first in the cellos, the clarinets and then the violins taking it before the closing coda.

    Leonard Slatkin at 70: The DSO’s music director was born for the podium By Lawrence B. Johnson Some bright young musicians know early on that they want to be a conductor. Leonard Slatkin, who turned 70 Slatkin at 70: on September 1, had a more specific vision. He believed himself born to be a music director. Greatest Hits “First off, it was pretty clear that I would go into conducting once I had the opportunity to actually lead an orchestra,” says Slatkin, music director of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra since 2008 and occupant of the same post with the Orchestre National de Lyon since 2011. “The study process suited my own ethic and, at least for me, I felt relatively comfortable with the technical part of the job.” “But perhaps more important, I knew that I would also be a music director. Mind you, this is a very different job from just getting on the podium and waving your arms. The decision making process and the ability to shape a single ensemble into a cohesive whole, including administration, somehow felt natural to me.” Slatkin arrived at the DSO with two directorships already under his belt – the Saint Louis Symphony (1979-96) and the National Symphony in Washington, D.C. (1996-2008) – and an earful of caution about the economically distressed city and the hard-pressed orchestra to which he was being lured. But it was a challenge that excited him. “Almost everyone warned me about the impending demise of the orchestra,” the conductor says. “A lot of people said that I should not take it.

    Nina Clemens Gabrilowitsch dies Home | Quotations | Newspaper Articles | Special Features | Links | Search The New York Times, January 19, 1966 Nina Clemens Gabrilowitsch, 55, Twain's Last Direct Heir, Dies LOS ANGELES, Jan. 18 (AP) - The county Coroner's office reported today that Miss Nina Clemens Gabrilowitsch, the last direct descendant of Mark Twain, had died Sunday. She was 55 years old. Miss Clemens was found dead in her room at a Los Angeles motel where she often stayed. Several bottles of pills and alcohol were found in the room, the police said. An autopsy was planned. A Los Angeles bartender said today that Miss Clemens had quipped to him on Saturday night: "When I die, I want artificial flowers, jitterbug music and a bottle of vodka at my grave." She was the granddaughter of Twain, whose real name was Samuel Langhorne Clemens. She preferred to use the writer's family name rather than her own. Miss Clemens, who was born four months after her grandfather died, once said that although she had never known him she knew his works "backwards and forwards." Miss Clemens was the daughter of Twain's daughter, Mrs. Clara Langhorne Clemens Samoussoud, and Clara's first husband, Ossip Gabrilowitsch. Mr. Gabrilowitsch was conductor of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra from 1919 until his death in 1936. Miss Clemens's mother died in San Diego on Nov. 19, 1962. A family attorney, Al Matthews, said Miss Clemens had lived on the income of Twain's estate, which he estimated at about $2-million. He said Miss Clemens had an income of $1,500 a month after taxes.

    SHOSTAKOVICH Violin Concertos Nos. 1 and 2 Ilya Kaler, Violin Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra (Katowice) Antoni Wit, Conductor Dmitry Shostakovich (1 906-75) Violin Concertos Nos 1 & 2 Censured by Stalin, feted by Khruschev, celebrated by the world, a child of Tsarist Petersburg schooled by the first Leninists, public rhetorician, private soliloquiser: how will history choose to remember Shostakovich? As a chronicler of events epic and tragic, dimensions grotesque and satirical, perspectives elegiac and sentimental. As an essayer, a vivid essayer, of moods and confessions, of emotional discord and harmony. As a man, a genius, of destiny. Boris Tischenko, one of his students: "Our generation grew up on his music, and with his name on our lips. So our hearts would miss a beat when he took off his spectacles to clean them and we caught a glimpse of him, like a knight without armour, close to us, defenceless. The influence of his personality was so great that one began oneself to change, to become ashamed of one's insignificance, one's ineptitude, one's lack of understanding. That such a man lived has made the world a much finer place. We must all learn from him, and not from his music alone". As a human being of profound spiritual bitterness and disillusionment. Testament, the alleged memoirs (New York 1979): "Looking back I see nothing but ruins, only mountains of corpses ... There were no particularly happy moments in my life, no great joys. It was grey and dull and it makes me sad to think about it. It saddens me to admit it, but it's the truth, the unhappy truth".
