His life as a performer, however, ensued principally as a way to make a living in the west a!er he and his family fled the Russian revolution of 1917. Until then, his first devotion was to composition, following in the footsteps of Tchaikovsky, who gave him much encouragement and some vital recommendations. The Suite No.1, written in the summer of 1893, is dedicated to the older composer, who died in November that same year. The Suite No.1 was originally entitled ‘Fantaisie-tableaux’: Rachmaninov envisaged it, he told his cousin Sofia Satina, as ‘a set of musical pictures’.

The first movement contains a concealed reference to her first name in the musical notation a-g-a-h-e, while the whole work is full of technical ingenuity and poetic inspiration.

    25. Mai 2015 Programm Grusswort Der Gastgeber

    22. - 25. MAI 2015 PROGRAMM GRUSSWORT DER GASTGEBER Wir möchten Sie hier auf der Brunegg herzlich willkommen heissen. Esther Hoppe und Jürg Dähler haben mit ihren Kolleginnen und Kollegen ein Programm zusammengestellt, das schon bei der ersten Ankündigung begeisterte Kommentare ausgelöst hat. Wir freuen uns mit Ihnen auf ein hervorragendes musikalisches Erlebnis. Bis anhin hatten wir die Räumlichkeiten stets nur für private Anlässe benützt. Dass nun die Öffentlichkeit Zutritt hat, ist vollkommen neu, und wir wollen damit eine neue Tradition beginnen. Da wir hier unser privates Wohnen eingerichtet haben, bitten wir Sie um Verständnis, wenn Sie keinen Zutritt in unsere Wohnräume erhalten. Diese stehen übrigens zum Teil den Künstlern zur Verfügung. Brunegg war seit dem Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts im Besitz der Familie Hünerwadel von Lenzburg und gelangte durch die Heirat von Marie Pauline mit Adolf von Salis, dem Vater von Jean Rudolf von Salis, in unsere Familie. Es wurde im Sommer sehr lebhaft zu geselligem Zusammensein genutzt; es wurde gewohnt, gespielt, geschrieben und diskutiert. Wir selber haben seit den 1990er Jahren Renovations- und Umbauarbeiten machen lassen; die Unterburg erhielt zwei moderne Wohnungen und den Festraum in der Tenne. Das Schloss oben und die Gartenanlagen wurden tiefgreifenden Restaurierungen und Erneuerungen unterzogen; die gesamte Anlage wurde von einem halb ruinenhaften in den heutigen, bequem bewohn- und bespielbaren Zustand umgewandelt. Wir hoffen, dass Sie das mit uns geniessen können und wünschen Ihnen ein gelungenes Pfingstfestival! Thomas und Elisabeth von Salis Gastgeber EDITORIAL DER KÜNSTLERISCHEN LEITUNG Die Historie des Schlosses Brunegg in seinem heute rundum erneuerten Gewand verführt und verpflichtet zu gleichen Teilen, an diesem geschichtsträchtigen Ort ein Festival zu gestalten, welches Tradition und Innovation in sinnlicher Art und Weise verbindet.

But following this anniversary there is some sad news, with the recent passing of our President, Jeanie, Countess of Carnarvon. Her energy, commitment and enthusiasm from the outset and throughout the evolution of the Festival have been fundamental to its success. The Duchess of Kent and I have seen the Festival grow from humble beginnings to an internationally renowned arts festival, having faced and overcome many obstacles along the way. Jeanie, Countess of Carnarvon, can be justly proud of the Festival’s achievements. Her legacy must surely be a Festival that continues to flourish as we embark on the next forty years. www.newburyspringfestival.org.uk 1 2019-NSF book.qxp_NSF programme book 23/04/2019 12:31 Page 2 Jeanie, Countess of Carnarvon MBE Founder and President 1935 - 2019 2 box office 0845 5218 218 2019-NSF book.qxp_NSF programme book 23/04/2019 12:31 Page 3 The Festival’s founder and president, Jeanie Countess of Carnarvon was a great and much loved lady who we will always remember for her inspirational support of Newbury Spring Festival and her gentle and gracious presence at so many events over the years.

Organizing a competition of this size and scope, which includes all of the modern string instruments in junior and senior divi- sions, is a complicated enterprise and there are many individu- als whose contributions have made it possible. My deepest thanks go to Libby Dietrich, who thoughtfully and comprehen- sively oversaw myriad aspects and details for this competition. President Stephen Benham, president-elect Brenda Brenner, and all of the staff at the national office took care of many other facets of the competition including raising the prize mon- ey—one of the most important and difficult tasks that goes into making it a successful event. A big thank you as well to the online judges, who in addition to selecting our online prize win- ners and the six Laureate Finalists (from more than 100 en- trants), also acted as my advisory committee. Our judges for the finals are generously offer- ing their time, knowledge, and artistry by giving master classes at the conference. We thank them and hope that you have or will attend their classes.
