  • Vivaldi's Four Seasons
    Vivaldi’s Four Seasons Start time: 8pm Approximate running time: 75 minutes, no interval Please note all timings are approximate and subject to change Programme Arcangelo Corelli Concerto Grosso No 1 in D major, Op 6 Maria Grimani Sinfonia to Pallade e Marte Arcangelo Corelli Concerto Grosso No 2 in F major, Op 6 Antonio Vivaldi The Four Seasons Harriet Smith takes us through tonight’s programme of Italian treasures. Today we get to experience arguably the best-known set of violin concertos ever written – The Four Seasons – alongside a composer whose music has almost entirely vanished from sight. The life of the Italian composer Maria Grimani is so wreathed in mystery that we don’t even know for certain when she died. She appears to have been born into a noble Venetian family and what we do know is that she spent periods of time in Vienna, where she was active during the reign of Charles VI and was one of the last of a series of female oratorio composers at the imperial court. Strikingly she was first-ever woman to have an opera produced there: Pallade e Marte was unveiled at the Vienna court theatre in celebration of the emperor’s saint’s day on 4 November 1713. Maria Grimani’s gifts, though, are self-evident even from the short sinfonia (overture) that opens Pallade e Marte. It ranges from a bustlingly upbeat opening section, strings supported by busy harpsichord continuo, to a slower- moving section full of sighing phrases and juicily biting harmonies. This in turn gives way to a more optimistic theme, underpinned by lilting rhythms that end the sinfonia in a mood of good humour.

Large print program notes are available through the generosity of Link Auction Galleries and are located at the Customer Service table in the foyer. 24 FROM THE STAGE Beth Guterman Chu, Principal Viola, on Mozart’s Sinfonia concertante: “Mozart wrote for the viola tuned up a half step, so the viola is playing in D major instead of E-flat, which makes the passagework easier and makes for a brighter sound. Musicians stopped because violists got better. We can play E-flat without the tuning. I know of only one recording where it is done. I’m sure it changes the sound of the piece as we know it, with all open strings. “There are two deterrents for playing Mozart’s way.

  • Christmas Oratorio
    Reflections on Bach’s “Christmas Oratorio” by John Harbison Composer John Harbison, whose ties to Boston’s cultural and educational communities are longstanding, celebrates his 80th birthday on December 20, 2018. To mark this birthday, the BSO will perform his Symphony No. 2 on January 10, 11, and 12 at Symphony Hall, and the Boston Symphony Chamber Players perform music of Harbison and J.S. Bach on Sunday afternoon, January 13, at Jordan Hall. The author of a new book entitled “What Do We Make of Bach?–Portraits, Essays, Notes,” Mr. Harbison here offers thoughts on Bach’s “Christmas Oratorio.” Andris Nelsons’ 2018 performances of Bach’s Christmas Oratorio are the Boston Symphony’s first since 1950, when Charles Munch was the orchestra’s music director. Munch may have been the last BSO conductor for whom Bach’s music remained a natural and substantial part of any season. In the 1950s the influence of Historically Informed Practice (HIP) was beginning to be felt. Large orchestras and their conductors began to draw away from 18th-century repertoire, feeling themselves too large, too unschooled in stylistic issues. For Charles Munch, Bach was life-blood. I remember hearing his generous, spacious performance of Cantata 4, his monumental reading of the double-chorus, single-movement Cantata 50. Arriving at Tanglewood as a Fellow in 1958, opening night in the Theatre-Concert Hall, there was Munch’s own transcription for string orchestra of Bach’s complete Art of Fugue! This was a weird and glorious experience, a two-hour journey through Bach’s fugue cycle that seemed a stream of sublime, often very unusual harmony, seldom articulated as to line or sectional contrast.
