iccardo Muti’s final season as music director pays tribute to his remarkable bond with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and celebrates the communicative power of his music making that has galvanized Chicago audiences over these past thirteen years.

Muti’s concerts combine classics with discoveries, and reunite him with longtime colleagues and friends. Each program highlights a different aspect of the acclaimed Muti-CSO partnership, now at its peak after playing some 500 concerts together—reviving signature pieces, showcasing the Orchestra’s principal players, and inviting beloved guest artists back to our stage.

Throughout the season, Muti will conduct key works from his Chicago years—Mussorgsky’s Pictures from an Exhibition, which capped his first concert with the Orchestra fifty years ago

Muti will return to music by Schubert and Tchaikovsky, whose complete symphonies he surveyed so memorably with the Orchestra. And he is reuniting with pianist Yefim Bronfman, violinist Julia Fischer, and pianist Maurizio Pollini, who makes his first appearance with the Orchestra in a decade. Continuing his annual tradition of showcasing the Orchestra’s principal players, Muti joins Concertmaster Robert Chen in Mozart, longtime Principal Tuba Gene Pokorny in the concerto Lalo Schifrin wrote with him in mind, and David Herbert, one of Muti’s earliest principal appointments, in William Kraft’s First Timpani Concerto.

For the first time in Chicago, Muti will lead Rachmaninov’s haunting Second Symphony and Prokofiev’s dazzling Fifth. He will give

In February, Phillip Huscher met with Riccardo Muti to discuss upcoming performances as well as reflections on his time as music director and his enduring relationship with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Here is an excerpt from their conversation.

Phillip Huscher: In September, I was so struck that after a year and a half, it took one rehearsal with the Orchestra to get back to where you left off, like best friends who haven’t seen each other in a long time.

Riccardo Muti: Sì, my years with this orchestra have been twelve years of beautiful musical life. Never friction. Everything was always very natural, very friendly, and the atmosphere has been unique. I love this orchestra.

PH: You have appointed twenty-five players.

RM: Twenty-five? I didn’t remember the number, but one thing I know, twenty-five fantastic players. Every time a music director, together with the committee, chooses a new player, it is a huge responsibility. It means that you are choosing a player for the next thirty, forty years. I think that in this case, I have chosen—together with my colleagues—twenty-five wonderful musicians. (continued)

PH: Emerging from COVID, what are your thoughts now on performances in the concert hall versus streaming and recording?

RM: Of course, the future is bringing new media—new possibilities. There is some advantage to that. For example, you can do a concert in Chicago, or in Berlin, or Vienna, and it can be seen immediately in every part of the world. That means you don’t have only 2,000 or 3,000 people that listen to the concert, but, theoretically, endless people. This is something that culturally can be an advantage. But music should be experienced live, directly. Because the presence of the public is very important to give a certain energy, positive or negative, to the performers. . . . We play for them. Without the public, we have no reason to exist.

PH: The bond you have with the CSO is very strong. What are your hopes for the Orchestra?

a b o v e : Riccardo Muti at the CSO’s Community Concert at Morton East High School in Cicero on January 14

RM: My dream for the future is that this orchestra can speak to the world from Chicago, and not only to the Chicago audience. . . . The world wants to have the Chicago Symphony, so this is a responsibility that important people— culturally speaking and economically speaking—must keep in mind. It is a responsibility to have this great orchestra here and to make it possible for this orchestra to speak to the world every day. It is a dream. It is a need for the new generations.

the U.S. premiere of the recently discovered Solemn Prelude by the British composer of African descent Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, and unveil a new work by Jessie Montgomery, the sixth Mead Composer-in-Residence to be appointed by Muti. At the season’s end, he will lead his first Chicago performances of Beethoven’s sublime Missa solemnis, a towering work of sacred vocal music that is a testament to the very soul and spirit of music.

lyrical power. With the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at his fingertips, Muti makes music soar and sing as only the greatest of musical partnerships can.

Muti’s last year as music director offers a panoramic view of music that reflects our complex world and speaks to the very qualities that make us human. With these unmissable programs, Riccardo Muti concludes one of the most extraordinary chapters in our Orchestra’s history.

negaunee music institute at the cso Chicago Youth in Music Festival Forges Nationwide Partnerships

F

or young musicians, the experience of gathering with like-minded peers and being mentored by professionals from the classical-music field offers a priceless opportunity for learning and growth. Since it began in 2009, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association’s Chicago Youth in Music Festival has taken this twofold approach, bringing together students from school orchestras and bands, community youth ensembles, and music schools to participate in coaching sessions, rehearsals, and performances with members of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Civic Orchestra of Chicago and prominent conductors such as the CSO’s Zell Music Director Riccardo Muti.

After being canceled in 2021 due to the pandemic, the festival returns in April 2022 with an ambitious nationwide partnership spanning ten cities and with a focus on supporting extraordinary young musicians from backgrounds underrepresented in classical music.

A new component this year is a summit that invites music teachers, administrators, and families of music students to participate in strategic conversation and collaboration. In partnership with the Chicago Musical Pathways Initiative and the National Instrumentalist Mentoring and Advancement Network, the CSO’s Negaunee Music Institute presents the 2022 Chicago Youth in Music Festival and National Pathways Summit.

The Negaunee Music Institute is a cofounder and member of the advisory council for the Chicago Musical Pathways Initiative, launched in the 2019–20 season, with the mission of preparing young musicians from underrepresented backgrounds to attend top music schools and thus, ultimately helping to diversify American orchestras. The National Instrumentalist Mentoring and Advancement Network is, “a national coalition that works to align, promote, and develop equitable opportunities and

18 CSO.ORG

inclusive environments to advance BIPOC [Black, indigenous, and people of color] instrumentalists to thrive in classical music.”

Representatives of similar programs from cities across the United States have eagerly agreed to participate. The fifty-two students selected for the 2022 Festival Orchestra were identified through a competitive audition process and represent programs in Chicago, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Boston, Atlanta, Nashville, San Antonio, Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Washington, D.C. According to Director of Education and the Negaunee Music Institute Jonathan McCormick, it’s important for students, “to engage with peers who have similar dreams, aspirations, and challenges. The Youth in Music Festival will be a rigorous musical experience and a social event as well, so the orchestra can really bond.”

From April 9 to 11, students participate in sectional rehearsals and coaching sessions with musicians from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Civic Orchestra of Chicago, and Chicago Sinfonietta in addition to attending a CSO concert conducted by Riccardo Muti.

Lina González-Granados, the Sir Georg Solti Conducting Apprentice of the CSO, conducts the Festival Orchestra in rehearsals.

By rehearsing with professional musicians, younger musicians experience firsthand the high level of technique and artistry to which they may aspire. “It’s so meaningful to play alongside a musician who is more advanced than you are,” McCormick said. “This can really accelerate a student’s growth.”

Lina González-Granados is the featured speaker at a keynote event for the National Pathways Summit at the Merit School of Music, where she also conducts the Festival Orchestra in Valerie Coleman’s Seven O’Clock Shout, a work commissioned in 2020 by the Philadelphia Orchestra to honor frontline workers of the pandemic.

The Festival and Summit concludes with an open rehearsal led by Riccardo Muti on April 11 at 7:00 p.m. The rehearsal, featuring Liszt’s Les préludes, is free and open to the public, with reservations required. “It will be a peak musical experience for the students to work with Maestro Muti,” said CMPI Project Advisor Adrienne Thompson.

Summing up his anticipation of the 2022 Chicago Youth in Music Festival and National Pathways Summit, NIMAN Board Chair Stanford Thompson said, “I look forward to watching our next generation of classical musicians have the opportunities to be inspired by their peers and professional musicians in this unique side-by-side festival and connecting with my counterparts across the country to discover new ways to sustain our programs and increase our impact.”

Lina González-Granados Sir Georg Solti Conducting Apprentice Lina González-Granados, the Sir Georg Solti Conducting Apprentice of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, grew up in Colombia, where she was surrounded by music: “dance music, salsa, Latin music, classical music—all kinds of music,” she says. Her early fascination with classical music came as a surprise to her family, none of whom are musicians, but her parents supported her interest. As she approached her teenage years, music grew into a more serious pursuit as, “the situation in the country got worse,” González-Granados Lina González-Granados, Sir Georg Solti Conducting Apprentice of the explains.

Brio Augusta Read Thomas would often pop into Orchestra Hall to sit in on a rehearsal when she was our composer-in-residence (from 1997 until 2006, the longest tenure of our ten resident composers to date). It was a way of getting to know, in intimate musical detail, what the musicians could do. (It helped that she eventually lived in the neighborhood.) Always a busy and richly productive composer—at that time she would regularly fly from O’Hare, sometimes as often as weekly, to be present for a performance of one of her pieces—she wrote nearly a dozen works for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and its pioneering MusicNOW series. Today she continues to compose every day of the year—starting at 4:00 a.m. “An artist is an artist twenty-four hours a day,” she says. “Even as one tries to sleep, one is dreaming about what they are making.” Her publisher lists more than 150 scores currently available, more than fifty of them for orchestra. (Thomas withdrew hundreds of early works that no longer satisfied her.)

“To spend one’s life standing at a drafting table, imagining and notating orchestra sounds is pure joy,” she has said. She remembers as a child lying underneath her mother’s piano and listening to her play. She began to write music when she was six years old. Composing, as she once put it, “has always defined who I am.” She studied with Alan Stout and William Karlins at Northwestern University, with Oliver Knussen at Tanglewood, Jacob Druckman at Yale University, and at the Royal Academy of Music in London. Later, Thomas taught composition herself, first at the Eastman School of Music and then at Northwestern University. She is now professor of composition at the University of Chicago and director of the Chicago Center for Contemporary Composition.

Thomas has always written music oblivious of the fads around her, which makes her particularly difficult to pigeonhole. Even her working method is refreshingly “old-fashioned”: she hears the music in her head and then sits down and writes it out, using pen and manuscript paper. Despite her independent musical spirit—and at the same time, because of it—she has been lavished with honors and commissions. “I like music with protein and vitamins,” she told me at the time the Chicago

Symphony played her Tangle in 2004. She justified this surprising metaphor with the example of J.S. Bach: “a top-quality multivitamin—a power-pack dosage, with added calcium and protein.” The pieces to which Thomas is most attracted—at that time she mentioned The Rite of Spring, Mahler’s Fourth and Fifth symphonies, Debussy’s Jeux, Bach’s Goldberg Variations, Beethoven’s Grosse Fuge—are high-energy works—compositions characterized by an abundance of ideas, clarity of thought, a lack of “fat,” and the sheer momentum of musical discourse.

“That an inevitable sense of motion naturally propels the music,” Thomas said, “and that this motion be the result of the elegant transformations of its materials, is key to me.”

Thomas’s commitment to composition is total (she is even married to a composer, Bernard Rands, one of our finest). “I feel blessed to devote my life to music,” she says. The music that has influenced Thomas over the years ranges from the English Renaissance composer William Byrd through Haydn and Mozart, Schumann and Chopin, to twentieth-century giants Ravel, Bartók, Varèse, Berg, Berio, Boulez—and includes the recordings of Bill Evans, Thelonious Monk, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, “the flair and zest of big-band music,” and “jazz of all kinds.” Thomas’s fascination with jazz has had a powerful influence on her own way of working: “Taking risks as an artist is important,” she writes, . . . and I use improvisation as an integrated part of my creative process. Often improvisation leads me to a risky decision, which I would not have otherwise heard, if I had not sung, danced, internalized the sounds.

She has written several pieces with the Chicago orchestra in mind, including Orbital Beacons (1997), which reseated the Orchestra as seven small chamber ensembles and two chamber orchestras; Ceremonial (1999), the first work the Chicago Symphony played in the new millennium; and Aurora (1999), with a solo piano part for then music director Daniel Barenboim. Brio is one of dozens of works Thomas has written since

her Chicago Symphony days, and although it was written for another orchestra, it bears all the hallmarks of Thomas’s mature and distinctive, yet ever-evolving, style. “Music’s eternal quality is its capacity for change, transformation, and renewal,” Thomas wrote when Brio premiered in 2018. “No one composer, musical style, school of thought, technical practice, or historical period can claim a monopoly on music’s truths.”

Although it was commissioned for the Des Moines Symphony, Brio has a strong Chicago connection: it was written to honor Chicagoan Carolyn (Kay) Bucksbaum, whom Thomas identifies as an “arts devotee, innovator, philanthropist, and dear friend.” To explain the title and the aptness of the word to her dedicatee, she turned to Webster’s Dictionary: “vigor, vivacity, gusto, verve, zest, enthusiasm, vitality, dynamism, animation, spirit, energy.” The rest of Thomas’s program note follows.

care about craft, clarity, and passion. My works are organic and, at every level, concerned with transformations and connections. The carefully sculpted musical materials of Brio are agile and energized, and their flexibility allows a way to braid harmonic, rhythmic, and contrapuntal elements that are constantly transformed— at times whimsical and light, at times jazzy, at times layered and reverberating.

Across Brio’s eleven-minute duration, it unfolds a labyrinth of musical interrelationships and connections that showcase the musicians . . . in a virtuosic display of rhythmic agility, counterpoint, skill, energy, dynamic range, clarity, and majesty. Throughout the kaleidoscopic journey, the work passes through many lively and colorful episodes and, via an extended, gradual crescendo, reaches a full-throttle, sparkling intensity—imagine a coiled spring releasing its energy to continuously propel the musical discourse. Vivid, clangorous, brassy, and blazing, Brio culminates in music of enthusiastic, intrepid (almost Stravinsky-like) spirits while never losing its sense of dance, caprice, and effervescence.

Born June 8, 1810; Zwickau, Saxony, Germany Died July 29, 1856; Endenich, near Bonn, Germany

Piano Concerto in A Minor, Op. 54 When, in 1828, at the age of eighteen, Robert Schumann began his piano studies with Friedrich Wieck, Wieck’s daughter Clara was just nine years old and already a prodigy. Perhaps she peeked in on her father’s lessons as Robert played Hummel’s A minor concerto, his first assignment.

Eighteen years later, Robert Schumann would unveil his own A minor piano concerto, played by his young bride, the same Clara, now grown up and a major talent. We wouldn’t know from this effortless and exuberant music that their wedding in September 1840 met with her father’s fierce disapproval, or that Schumann had been struggling to write a concerto for nearly twenty years.

As early as 1827, Schumann’s diary mentions the “beginnings of a piano concerto in F minor.” That piece was completed in 1830 in a version for piano alone and published as his op. 1, the Abegg Variations (named for the young woman who held Robert’s affections before Clara). There’s evidence of work on another piano concerto, in D minor, the year before his marriage to Clara. Then, secure in the strength of his love, following the extraordinary outpouring of song in the months surrounding his wedding, Schumann dashed off a fantasy in A minor for piano and orchestra—a one-movement work written in little more than a week. Clara played through the piece at a reading rehearsal in the Leipzig Gewandhaus in August 1841.

balance of career and family she would maintain for many years.)

The first year of his marriage was a remarkably productive period for Schumann—within a matter of weeks he wrote his first two symphonies, began other orchestral works, and turned his attention to opera and then chamber music, while the fantasy sat on a shelf, unpublished, for some time. In the summer of 1845, Schumann composed a rondo-finale and a middle movement to go with the fantasy to complete the piece we now know as his Piano Concerto in A minor. Clara gave the first performance of the concerto at the Leipzig Gewandhaus on New Year’s Day, 1846.

T

his A minor concerto owes a debt to the concertos by Moscheles and Hummel rather than to the Viennese models of Mozart and Beethoven. Schumann calls it “something between symphony, concerto, and grand sonata.” It’s not any of those, but an extensive work for piano solo with an indispensable orchestral commentary. Schumann ignores the powerful drama and delicate balance of orchestra and piano favored by Mozart and Beethoven—his orchestration is conveniently transparent, allowing the spotlight to fall on the piano in the opening measures and never shift thereafter. The concerto reflects the ebullient, unforced lyricism that marks Schumann’s work at its best. It is, in Donald Tovey’s admiring opinion, “recklessly pretty.”

Although it relies on sonata form, the first movement was written as a fantasy, not as the opening of a concerto, and so it doesn’t feature the double exposition (one for orchestra alone, another in which the solo joins) common to early nineteenth-century concertos. It opens with a flamboyant piano flourish that establishes the prominence of the piano solo and continues with a plaintive four-note descending motif that will tie all three movements together. Although this

30 ONE HUNDRED THIRT Y-FIRST SE ASON

is essentially the same motif often associated with longing and farewell in Schumann’s other music from this period, here it finds a home in one of the sunniest, most untroubled works ever written in a minor key.

The texture is a tapestry of brilliant, endless filigree in the piano part woven with the strong strands of melody that periodically emerge in other instruments. After the first orchestral outburst, the piano ventures into the unexpected key of A-flat to meditate at length on the first motif, now as expansive and eloquent as a Chopin nocturne (Schumann had already done an outright Chopin imitation in one section of Carnaval). After a fairly standard recapitulation, the piano gathers momentum and plays on, right through music designed for orchestra alone, into a grand, written-out cadenza. Finally, orchestra and piano march off together with a snappy version of the main theme, which retreats into the distance, though the piano lingers to provide the final cadence.

The second movement begins with awkward exchanges between piano and orchestra—the halting, careful conversation of recent acquaintances. A lovely, swinging theme that appears in the cello brings the movement to life. The conversation starts up again, but is interrupted by ghostly reminders of the concerto’s opening four-note motif, and then, without pause, by the full force of the finale’s rondo theme.

The finale has nearly a thousand measures of music, but it flies by as one coherent, nearly breathless statement. In addition to the boldly assertive rondo theme itself, Schumann tosses out a number of felicitous tunes, some, like his most characteristic melodies, rhythmically playful enough to discourage a tapping foot. After a final orchestral reprise of the rondo theme, the piano launches an extensive coda, which seems quite reluctant to bring such exuberance to an end.

FANNIE BLOOMFIELD ZEISLER AND SCHUMANN’S PIANO CONCERTO With the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, no one has performed Schumann’s Piano Concerto more than Fannie Bloomfield Zeisler.

Born in Austria on July 16, 1863, Fannie Blumenfeld and her family immigrated to the U.S. in 1867 and settled in Chicago, where she gave her first concert on February 26, 1875. She returned to Vienna in 1878 to study with Theodor Leschetizky before returning to the U.S. in 1883 (and anglicizing her name to Bloomfield).

She soon auditioned for Theodore Thomas, then music director for the New York Philharmonic as well as his eponymous Theodore Thomas Orchestra. It was too late to hire her for his upcoming seasons, but, inspired by her playing, Thomas provided letters of recommendation to help her secure other engagements.

Bloomfield made her professional debut in Chicago’s Central Music Hall in January 1884, in the first movement of Henselt’s Piano Concerto under Carl Wolfsohn.

Her New York debut occurred the following year under Frank Van der Stucken and his orchestra, again in Henselt’s concerto. In October 1885, she married Sigmund Zeisler (who later served on the defense counsel for the anarchists responsible for the onset of the Haymarket Square riot), and the couple had three sons.

Zeisler made her debut with the Chicago Orchestra during the ensemble’s first season, in Chopin’s Second Piano Concerto at the Auditorium Theatre

in March 1892. Later that spring, she joined Thomas and the Orchestra on tour through Omaha; Louisville; and Kansas City, Missouri. The following season, she appeared on subscription concerts in December and on tour on five occasions, including concerts in Pittsburgh and Buffalo in April that featured the ensemble’s first performances of Schumann’s Piano Concerto. Soon thereafter, Zeisler was one of only two pianists—along with Ignace Paderewski—chosen

by Thomas to perform with the Orchestra at the World’s Columbian Exposition; on June 9, 1893, she was soloist in Schumann’s concerto.

Over the next thirty years, Zeisler was a frequent and favorite soloist, performing not only Schumann’s concerto, but also works by Beethoven, Chopin, Grieg, Henselt, Liszt, Mendelssohn, Moszkowski, Mozart, Rubinstein, Saint-Saëns, Tchaikovsky, and Weber.

In February 1925, Fannie Bloomfield Zeisler appeared with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra—and before the public—one last time, in a concert celebrating her fiftieth year as a concert artist and featuring her eighth performance of Schumann’s Piano Concerto with the ensemble. She died in Chicago on August 21, 1927.

Born June 11, 1864; Munich, Germany Died September 8, 1949; Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany

Ein Heldenleben, Op. 40 In 1898, after lending music of lasting brilliance to heroes taken from the pages of Shakespeare, Nietzsche, and Cervantes, and to two great legendary characters— Don Juan and Till Eulenspiegel—Richard Strauss could think of no other subject more suitable than himself. At the top of his last great tone poem he wrote “Ein Heldenleben” (A Hero’s Life, or A Heroic Life), leaving little doubt of the title character’s identity. As Strauss told Romain Rolland, “I do not see why I should not compose a symphony about myself; I find myself quite as interesting as Napoleon or Alexander.” The mention of Napoleon was no coincidence, for Ein Heldenleben was Strauss’s response to the Eroica, Beethoven’s Napoleon-inspired symphony—“admittedly without a funeral march, but yet in E-flat, with lots of horns, which are always a yardstick of heroism.”

Those who knew Strauss thought him an unlikely hero. There was nothing about him—apart from his own dazzling music— to compare with the bold and fearless character who throws open the first page of this score and then holds our attention for one enormous paragraph of music—the 116 measures of nonstop orchestral exhibitionism that Strauss labels The Hero.

The moment of silence that follows is broken by the squabbling of the woodwinds, introducing The Hero’s Adversaries. This is Strauss’s depiction of his critics, and it is rendered with such hatred (Strauss requests “snarling” oboes and “hissing” cymbals) that we would think he had never received a good review in his life. (In fact, aside from his first opera Guntram, Strauss probably had read more glowing reviews of his music than any major composer of the day.)

Next we meet Strauss’s wife, Pauline Strauss de Ahna, an accomplished soprano who sings here with the voice of a solo violin. Richard had met Pauline de Ahna in the summer of 1887, when his uncle suggested he give lessons to the neighbors’ daughter, a young woman with a generous voice and a boisterous temperament. She needed coaching and discipline; she found romance instead. Pauline was a complex woman—wildly abov e : Richard Strauss, portrait by Edward Steichen (1879–1973), New York, 1904

impetuous and often fractious and stubborn— but Richard quickly realized he couldn’t live without her. She gave him advice and encouragement, and she was the only critic who mattered to him. “She is the spice that keeps me going,” the composer later told his son Franz. As Strauss admitted, Pauline was a “very complicated” subject to portray, “different each minute from what she was a minute earlier.” The Hero’s Companion, as Strauss calls this mercurial section, is a full-length portrait, and it is not always complimentary. Certainly Pauline noticed that her husband painted himself in a warm, flattering light, while “her” violin solo is marked, at various points: “flippant,” “angry,” and “nagging.”

But no one who knew Pauline ever took issue with Richard’s appraisal, though many wondered why she put up with such treatment. (Years later, when she was portrayed in an even less complimentary way in the opera Intermezzo, she told the soprano Lotte Lehmann, who sang her role, “I don’t give a damn.”) Nevertheless, theirs was a great love match, and sumptuous love music soon overpowers her voice and encompasses the entire orchestra.

The hero’s adversaries again raise their sharp voices, and he prepares to attack. The Battle Scene is noisy and thrillingly chaotic for a very long stretch, and for many years, this was one of the most notoriously difficult passages in all music; the technical advances of the ensuing decades have scarcely softened its impact.

Gradually the hero is strengthened by thoughts

of love, and he rises above his adversaries. A broad ascent to victory is marked by the return of the opening theme, now at full cry, and the Eroica horns Strauss promised. (The way they dart around the big tune is particularly bold.) At the climax, the horns let loose with the great, vaulting signature tune from Don Juan, prompting the appearance of other themes from Don Juan and Also sprach Zarathustra before the music gradually fades.

In a quiet daydream (a gently swaying barcarole), Strauss recalls music from all his previous tone poems as well as many of his songs, and even (or perhaps most pointedly) the failed Guntram. These are The Hero’s Works of Peace. (“Of course I haven’t taken part in any battles,” Strauss wrote to his publisher years later, “but the only way I could express works of peace was through themes of my own.”) The critics

reappear briefly; Strauss rises up against them in one last tirade. The final section is labeled The Hero’s Escape from the World and Fulfillment.

The music now slips into a simple pastorale, with an english horn calling out over a quiet drum tap. The violins repeatedly hint at a new theme, which finally rises from total silence—a melody so noble and disarming that we do not recognize it as the same sequence of notes first uttered rather ineloquently by Pauline. It’s one of Strauss’s greatest themes, all the more moving for coming so near the end, like a grand benediction. There is one last, disruptive assault from the critics, and then the loving voice of Pauline, obviously quite undone by some of her husband’s most sublime music.

Ein Heldenleben wasn’t the last of Strauss’s family portraits. Five years later, with the Domestic Symphony, he became the twentieth century’s first great realist painter, depicting life at home with Pauline—bathing the baby, making love, quarreling—with surgical precision and in painstaking detail. (Strauss boasted that he had reached the point where he could differentiate musically between a knife and a fork.) And with the operatic comedy Intermezzo, even Strauss wondered if he had gone too far, blurring the

34 ONE HUNDRED THIRT Y-FIRST SE ASON

line between public and private in ways that made audiences uncomfortable and angered his own family.

Today, of course, it’s easier to view Ein Heldenleben as an innocent orchestral fantasy— simply to enjoy its abundant musical pleasures.

Strauss’s hero and his companion are still vividly real, but they aren’t real-life people to us. As the art historian Ernst Gombrich wrote, “The consummate artist conjures up the image of a human being that will live on in the richness of its emotional texture when the sitter and his vanities have long been forgotten.” Both Richard and Pauline Strauss have now been dead for nearly three-quarters of a century. Their son Franz and his two children are also all gone, leaving virtually no one who would care how the family is portrayed in Ein Heldenleben. For the rest of us, this music holds the same fascination as any great portrait—for a few moments we feel we actually know these people, we enjoy the thrill of peering into another time and place, and then we return to our own lives.

Over the last year, Gerstein’s decade-long relationship with Thomas Adès has resulted in the release of the world premiere of Adès’s Concerto for Piano and Orchestra written especially for him, released on Deutsche Grammophon; and a compendium of Adès’s works for piano on myrios P H OTO BY MARCO B O RGGRE VE

classics. Both discs garnered accolades that included a 2021 International Classical Music Award, a 2020 Gramophone Award, and three Grammy Award nominations. In May 2021, in Amsterdam, Gerstein premiered another concerto written especially for him by Austrian composer Thomas Larcher.

Kirill Gerstein’s latest release is a recording of Mozart’s four-hand piano sonatas with his mentor Ferenc Rados on myrios classics. Through the partnership, he has realized many thoughtfully curated projects, including Strauss’s Enoch Arden with Bruno Ganz, recorded shortly before the actor’s death in 2019; Busoni’s monumental Piano Concerto with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and Sakari Oramo; and The Gershwin Moment with the St. Louis Symphony, David Robertson, Gerstein’s jazz mentor Gary Burton, and Storm Large. Gerstein has additionally recorded music

by Scriabin with the Oslo Philharmonic and Vasily Petrenko for LAWO Classics and by Tchaikovsky with the Czech Philharmonic and Semyon Bychkov as part of The Tchaikovsky Project, released by Decca Classics.

Born in Voronezh, Russia, Kirill Gerstein attended a music school for gifted children and taught himself to play jazz by listening to his parents’ record collection. Following a chance encounter with Gary Burton in St. Petersburg when he was fourteen years old, he was invited as the youngest student ever to attend the Berklee College of Music in Boston, where he studied jazz piano in tandem with his classical studies. At sixteen, he decided to focus on classical music and completed his undergraduate and graduate degrees with Solomon Mikowsky at New York’s Manhattan School of Music, followed by further studies with Dmitri Bashkirov in Madrid and Ferenc Rados in Budapest. Gerstein is the sixth recipient of the prestigious Gilmore Artist Award, first-prize winner at the Tenth Arthur Rubinstein International Piano Master Competition, and an Avery Fisher Career Grant holder. In May 2021, he was awarded an honorary doctorate from the Manhattan School of Music. kirillgerstein.com MARCH–JULY 2022

chicago symphony orchestra The Chicago Symphony Orchestra is consistently hailed as one of the world’s leading orchestras, and in September 2010, renowned Italian conductor Riccardo Muti became its tenth music director.

During his tenure, the Orchestra has deepened its engagement with the Chicago community, nurtured its legacy while supporting a new generation of musicians and composers, and collaborated with visionary artists.

The history of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra began in 1889, when Theodore Thomas, then the leading conductor in America and a recognized music pioneer, was invited by Chicago businessman Charles Norman Fay to establish a symphony orchestra here.

Thomas’s aim to build a permanent orchestra with performance capabilities of the highest quality was realized at the first concerts in October 1891 in the Auditorium Theatre. Thomas served as music director until his death in January 1905—just three weeks after the dedication of Orchestra Hall, the Orchestra’s permanent home designed by Daniel Burnham.

Frederick Stock, recruited by Thomas to the viola section in 1895, became assistant conductor in 1899 and succeeded the Orchestra’s founder. His tenure lasted thirty-seven years, from 1905 to 1942—the longest of the Orchestra’s music directors. Dynamic and innovative, the Stock years saw the founding of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, the first training orchestra in the United States affiliated with a major symphony orchestra, in 1919. Stock also established youth auditions, organized the first subscription concerts especially for children, and began a series of popular concerts.

Three eminent conductors headed the Orchestra during the following decade: Désiré Defauw was music director from 1943 to 1947; Artur Rodzinski assumed the post in 1947–48; and Rafael Kubelík led the ensemble for three seasons from 1950 to 1953.

The next ten years belonged to Fritz Reiner, whose recordings with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra are still considered performance hallmarks. It was Reiner who invited Margaret Hillis to form the Chicago Symphony Chorus in 1957. For the five seasons from 1963 to 1968, Jean Martinon held the position of music director.

Sir Georg Solti, the Orchestra’s eighth music director, served from 1969 until 1991. His arrival launched one of the most successful musical partnerships of our time, and the CSO made its first overseas tour to Europe in 1971 under his direction, along with numerous award-winning recordings. Solti then held

the title of music director laureate and returned to conduct the Orchestra for several weeks each season until his death in September 1997.

Daniel Barenboim was named music director designate in January 1989, and he became the Orchestra’s ninth music director in September 1991, a position he held until June 2006. His tenure was distinguished by the opening of Symphony Center in 1997, highly praised operatic productions at Orchestra Hall, numerous appearances with the Orchestra in the dual role of pianist and conductor, twenty-one international tours, and the appointment of Duain Wolfe as the Chorus’s second director.

Pierre Boulez’s long-standing relationship with the Orchestra led to his appointment as principal guest conductor in 1995. He was named Helen Regenstein Conductor Emeritus in 2006, a position he held until his death in January 2016. Only two others have served as principal guest conductors: Carlo Maria Giulini, who appeared in Chicago regularly in the late 1950s, was named to the post in 1969, serving until 1972; Claudio Abbado held the position from 1982 to 1985. From 2006 to 2010, Bernard Haitink was the Orchestra’s first principal conductor. Cellist Yo-Yo Ma served as the CSO’s Judson and Joyce Green Creative Consultant from 2010 to 2019. Hilary Hahn currently is the CSO’s Artist-in-Residence, a role that brings her to Chicago for multiple residencies each season.

Jessie Montgomery is the current Mead Composerin-Residence. She follows ten highly regarded composers in this role, including John Corigliano and Shulamit Ran—both winners of the Pulitzer Prize for Music—and Missy Mazzoli, who completed her threeyear tenure in June 2021. In addition to composing works for the CSO, Montgomery curates the contemporary MusicNOW series.

The Orchestra first performed at Ravinia Park in 1905 and appeared frequently through August 1931, after which the park was closed for most of the Great Depression. In August 1936, the Orchestra helped to inaugurate the first season of the Ravinia Festival, and it has been in residence nearly every summer since.

Since 1916, recording has been a significant part of the Orchestra’s activities. Current releases on CSO Resound, the Orchestra’s independent recording label, include the Grammy Award–winning release of Verdi’s Requiem led by Riccardo Muti. Recordings by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chorus have earned sixty-three Grammy awards from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.
