  • Saison 2013/2014 Grußwort

    Saison 2013/2014 Grußwort Liebe Musikfreunde, liebe Konzertbesucher, unsere Konzertreihe im Von-Busch-Hof gibt es nun schon mehr als zehn Jahre. Wir freuen uns über den hohen Bekannt- heitsgrad der Konzertreihe weit über die engere Region hinaus. In jeder Saison ist es uns gelungen, mit erstklassigen Künstlern beeindruckende Konzerte zu veranstalten. Von Anfang an spielte Kammermusik eine wichtige Rolle: Unsere Besucher konnten immer wieder faszinierend schöne klassische Musik erleben. Mit Schuberts “Forellenquintett” und dem Liederzyklus “Die Winterreise” erklingen in dieser Saison zwei der bekanntesten Werke der klassischen Musik. Aber auch für das Amüsement in der Neujahrsgala beim Hören und Wiedererkennen von beliebten Schlagern und von brillant gespielter Filmmusik des letzten Jahrhunderts schwärmen viele. Das fabelhafte Schellack-Orchester mit seinen Solisten entfes- selt dabei jedesmal Beifallsstürme. Interessante Kinderkonzerte, eines im November, das andere im Februar, fehlen auch in dieser Saison natürlich nicht. Ganz sicher werden Joseph Moog am Klavier und das Busch- Hof Consort im abschließenden Open Air Konzert der Saison mit der Darbietung von drei Klavierkonzerten einen triumpha- len Schlusspunkt setzen. Die gute Akustik im Saal und im Innenhof, dazu das stilvolle und behagliche Ambiente des Von-Busch-Hofs wird von vielen Besuchern gerühmt und ist eine angenehme und erfreuliche Beigabe zu den Konzerten. Künstler, die bei uns auftreten, sind immer wieder angetan von dem charmanten Veranstaltungsort, aber in demselben Maße auch von dem interessierten und aufmerksamen Publikum. Wir sind stolz auf das Erreichte. Unser Bestreben ist, auch in Zukunft unsere Zuhörerschaft mit einem anspruchsvollen Programm zu begeistern. Wir wünschen Ihnen schöne und erquickliche Stunden im Von-Busch-Hof.

Dear Customer, Young Norwegian soprano Lise Davidsen has gradually been garnering attention in recent years, perhaps making the leap to a wider awareness following her award of Gramophone’s ‘Young Artist of the Year’ in 2018 and her sublime performance of Strauss’s ‘Morgen’ at the ceremony. Ariadne was her major role last year; 2019 sees her take on the part of Elisabeth in Tannhauser - Zurich and Munich have already had the pleasure and she will be taking it to Bayreuth in July, under the baton of Valery Gergiev in a brand new production. Pleasingly for those of us who won’t manage to catch her live, her debut album on Decca has just been released, featuring two arias from Tannhauser plus orchestral lieder (and one aria) by Richard Strauss. We have been hugely impressed, especially considering her mere 32 years of age, making it a clear choice for Disc of the Month. Please see our website for our full review. Other new releases to highlight for June include a second lieder recital from Decca, performed by none other than Renee Fleming; Hyperion issue the latest in their series of ‘Romantic Violin Concertos’, this volume featuring works by Lassen, Scharwenka and Langgaard; the Vaughan Williams Society offer us his works for viola and piano via the Albion label; the final instalment in the Halle’s superb Ring Cycle (Siegfried) is released on the Halle’s own label; and stunning vocal ensemble Vox Luminis give us a treat in the shape of works by the Bach Family.

Executive Producer: Job Maarse Recording Producer: Job Maarse Balance Engineer: Jean-Marie Geijsen Recording Engineer: Sebastian Stein Editing: Sebastian Stein Total playing time: 69. 46 hroughout the history of music, Mozart’s Violin TConcertos Nos. 1 and 2, K.207 and K.211, have generally been described as the “minor” concertos. Indeed, both as compositions and as far as the treatment of the violin is concerned, they do clearly stand out against the “major” Concertos K.216, K.218 and K.219: however, this is not nec- essarily mirrored in the length of these two works. Rather, one notices in both earlier concertos the distinctive influence of Italian violin virtuosos of the Baroque. In the violin part there are virtuoso semiquaver and even demisemiquaver passages, which are nowhere to be seen in the later concertos.

Like no other language, music brings people, cultures and generations together. It is understood across all national borders. Its inexhaustible power, beauty and purity give me the inner strength to stand up for cultural identity, friendship and peace. Which is why it is a great honour for me to act as the cultural patron of the International Piano Forum, which awards the International German Piano Award every year. The International Piano Forum promotes brilliant piano talents worldwide with great dedication and supports them in making an international stage career – a challenge I am pleased to accompany. Through the connection between the Tchaikovsky Competition and the International German Piano Award, even more musical bridges will be built between the two countries. The secret of music lies in always making it sound alive, allowing everyone to feel the warmth and life hidden within it and creating from it an emotional story.

    2015 / 2016 SEASON Arnaldo Cohen, Artistic Director PERFECTLY PIANO. PERFECTLY PORTLAND. FAST BECOMING THE NUMBER ONE CHOICE OF WORLD COMPETITION WINNERS Beloved Works Alongside Rarities... 2014 RUBENSTEIN COMPETITION – TEL AVIV, ISRAEL 2015 CHOPIN COMPETITION – MIAMI, FLORIDA AS I LOOK FORWARD to my third season as artistic director of Portland Piano International, I am gratified by the artistry and camaraderie we have shared. Together, we continue to cross new frontiers and THE NORTHWEST’S P REMIER expand our programs (please see pages PIANO STORE 10-11). I am very grateful for your support. As we shift our recitals to Saturdays and Sundays – both in the afternoon – we intend Arnaldo Cohen Artistic Director to expand our growing circle of music lovers. Please bring your family and friends! This season Portland Piano International offers an astonishing range of repertoire, with 11 completely different recital programs! Through music, we honor solemn anniversaries – 40 years since Shostakovich’s death and one century since the Armenian genocide. We hear beloved works alongside rarities like Janácek’s Sonata and Liszt’s Hexameron (variations on Bellini’s opera The Puritans). We delight in Chopin’s witty response to Mozart’s 12 Variations on Ah vous dirai-je, Maman as well as Earl Wild’s virtuosic transcriptions of Rachmaninov and Gershwin. Our season ends with the towering talent of Murray Perahia, the eminent American pianist acclaimed throughout the world. In order to meet ticket demand for his rare Portland appearance on April 10, 2016, we present Mr. Perahia in the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall and urge an early subscription purchase to secure the very best seats (see page 14-15 for details).
