But those outdoor concerts, attended by a total of 15,000 people, did not take place at Tanglewood: the orchestra performed nearby under a large tent at Holmwood, a former Vanderbilt estate that later became The Center at Foxhollow. In fact, the first Berkshire Symphonic Festival had taken place two summers earlier, at Interlaken, when, organized by a group of music-loving Berkshire summer residents, three outdoor concerts were given by members of the New York Philharmonic, under the direction of composer/conductor Henry Hadley. But after a second concert series in 1935, plans for 1936 proved difficult, for reasons including Hadley’s health and aspects of the musical programming; so the organizing committee instead approached Koussevitzky and the BSO’s Trustees, whose enthusiastic response led to the BSO’s first concerts in the Berkshires. In the winter of 1936, following the BSO’s concerts that summer, Mrs. Gorham Brooks and Miss Mary Aspinwall Tappan offered Tanglewood, the Tappan family estate, with its buildings and 210 acres of lawns and meadows, as a gift to Koussevitzky and the orchestra. The offer was gratefully accepted, a two-weekend festival was planned for 1937, and on August 5 that year, the festival’s largest crowd to date assembled under a tent for the first Tanglewood concert, an all-Beethoven program. At the all-Wagner concert that opened the 1937 festival’s second weekend, rain and thunder twice interrupted the Rienzi Overture and necessitated the omission altogether of the Siegfried Idyll, music too gentle to be heard through the downpour. At the inter- mission, Miss Gertrude Robinson Smith, one of the festival’s founders, made an appeal to raise funds for the building of a permanent structure. The appeal was broadened by means of a printed circular handed out at the two remaining concerts, and within a short time enough money was raised to begin active planning for a “music pavilion.” Eliel Saarinen, the eminent architect selected by Koussevitzky, proposed an elaborate design that went far beyond the festival’s immediate needs, and also well beyond the $100,000 budget. When his second, simplified plans were again deemed too expen- A banner advertising the 1939 Berkshire Symphonic Festival (BSO Archives) sive, he finally wrote that if the Trustees insisted on remaining within their budget, they would have “just a shed...which any builder could accomplish without the aid of an architect.” The Trustees then asked Stockbridge engineer Joseph Franz to further simplify Saarinen’s plans, and the “Shed” he erected—which remains, with modifica- tions, to this day—was inaugurated on August 4, 1938, with the first concert of that year’s festival. It has resounded to the music of the Boston Symphony Orchestra every summer since, except for the war years 1942-45, and has become almost a place of pilgrimage to millions of concertgoers. In 1959, as the result of a collabora- tion between the acoustical consultant Bolt Beranek and Newman and archi- tect Eero Saarinen and Associates, the installation of the then-unique Edmund Hawes Talbot Orchestra Canopy, along with other improve- After the storm of August 12, 1937, which precipitated a fundraising drive ments, produced the Shed’s present for the construction of the Tanglewood Shed (BSO Archives) world-famous acoustics. In 1988, on the occasion of its fiftieth anniversary, the Shed was rededicated as “The Serge Kousse- vitzky Music Shed,” recognizing the far-reaching vision of the BSO’s legendary music director. In 1940, the Berkshire Music Center (now the Tanglewood Music Center) began its operations. By 1941 the Theatre-Concert Hall, the Chamber Music Hall, and several small studios were finished, and the festival had so expanded its activities and reputation for excellence that

  • Interpreting Tempo and Rubato in Chopin's Music
    Interpreting tempo and rubato in Chopin’s music: A matter of tradition or individual style? Li-San Ting A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of New South Wales School of the Arts and Media Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences June 2013 ABSTRACT The main goal of this thesis is to gain a greater understanding of Chopin performance and interpretation, particularly in relation to tempo and rubato. This thesis is a comparative study between pianists who are associated with the Chopin tradition, primarily the Polish pianists of the early twentieth century, along with French pianists who are connected to Chopin via pedagogical lineage, and several modern pianists playing on period instruments. Through a detailed analysis of tempo and rubato in selected recordings, this thesis will explore the notions of tradition and individuality in Chopin playing, based on principles of pianism and pedagogy that emerge in Chopin’s writings, his composition, and his students’ accounts. Many pianists and teachers assume that a tradition in playing Chopin exists but the basis for this notion is often not made clear. Certain pianists are considered part of the Chopin tradition because of their indirect pedagogical connection to Chopin. I will investigate claims about tradition in Chopin playing in relation to tempo and rubato and highlight similarities and differences in the playing of pianists of the same or different nationality, pedagogical line or era. I will reveal how the literature on Chopin’s principles regarding tempo and rubato relates to any common or unique traits found in selected recordings.

  • Magda Tagliaferro (1893-1986) a Discography1
    MAGDA TAGLIAFERRO (1893-1986) A DISCOGRAPHY1 By Philippe Rougier The pianistic career of Magda Tagliaferro was one of the longest, spanning more than eighty years-from her first public concert in 1902 in Sao Paulo to her last in Brasilia in 1985. Born of French parents near Rio de Janeiro, she divided her life between Brazil and France and she held both citizenships. She received first prize in piano at the Conservatoire National in Paris when she was fourteen. There she became acquainted with the director, Gabriel Faure, who around 1908 chose her to perform several of his works with him on tour. She was the protegee of the Cortot-Thibaud-Casals trio and worked regularly with her "venerated master," Alfred Cortot, whose musical aesthetics she adopted and perpetuated throughout her life. Prior to World War II, she lived in Paris and enjoyed a very brilliant career embracing Europe and South America, playing with conductors such as Furtwaengler, Weingartner, Ansermet, Munch, Paray and others. She was an activist for French music abroad and championed the contemporary composers that she had known personally: Prokofief, d'Indy (she performed his Symphonie sur un Chant montagnard under his baton), Ravel, Poulenc, Roussel, Schmitt, Falla, Albeniz, and others. She premiered or was the dedicatee of many works, including pieces for piano and orchestra by Heitor Villa-Lobos, Reynaldo Hahn, Georges Dandelot, Daniele Amfitheatrof; and solo pieces by Migot, Rivier, Pierne, Rosenthal, Inghelbrecht, and Mignone, among others. Mme. Tagliaferro also played an important role as a pedagogue. She was appointed professor at the Paris Conservatoire in 1937, remaining until the war, and founded a school in Paris and two more in Brazil (the Escola Magda Tagliaferro still exists in Sao Paulo) where she lived from 1940 until 1949.

    Incarnation Episcopal Church 1750 29th Avenue, San Francisco sunsetarts.wordpress.com | 415-564-2324 1 Dear Friends, Welcome to the Sunset Music & Arts 2019 season. We are very excited to announce our fifth season with many new and returning artists. The season continues out tradition of strong offerings in solo instrumental performances, vocal recitals, choral music, opera, and jazz/world music concerts. Our season opener will feature a chamber concert on Friday January 11, 2019 with New York based cellist, Ben Capps, and Russian pianist, Vassily Primakov. The Holland Times hailed Ben Capps as a “young cello phenomenon from New York.” Ben Capps is the recipient of many awards, including the the Lillian Fuchs Award, the Francis Goelet Scholarship (Juilliard 2008-2009), the Irving Mulde Scholarship (Juilliard, 2009-10), and the Piatigorsky Scholarship (New England Conservatory 2012- 13). Gramophone wrote that “Primakov’s empathy with Chopin’s spirit could hardly be more complete.” Vassily Primakov is a prize winner at the Cleveland Piano Competition and was a semi-finalist at the Van Cliburn Competition. Solo piano artists include Laura Klein, Clare Longendyke, Robyn Carmichael, Amy Stephens, Mark Valenti, and Susan Ellinger, as well as concerts for piano 4-hands with the Duo Papillion and A&R Duo. Also featured are organ recitals with Angela Kraft Cross and David Jaronowski and a Grammy award guitarist Cristobal Selamé. Our chamber music concerts features return engagements with the Circadian String Quartet, Trio 180, as well as new artists, such as the Ensemble Illume, Trio Terme, Trio Foss, and Curium Piano Trio. Our choral music concerts features our artists-in-residence, the San Francisco Renaissance Voices, the San Francisco Boys Chorus, and the San Francisco Girls Chorus.
