DSO PERFORMANCE MAGAZINE 3

WELCOME Dear Friends, What an extraordinary decade it has been since Leonard Slatkin became our orchestra’s music director. Together we have changed the way an orchestra relates to its community, while also engaging the world. We have embraced the future of American music and sought to become an even more inclusive Mark Davidoff, Anne Parsons, and Leonard Slatkin organization. at last summer’s Asia Tour Send-Off Concert.

Throughout this year, we have been celebrating the 10th anniversary and musical legacy of Maestro Slatkin as he transitions to his new role as Music Director Laureate next season. Thank you for sharing your memories of Leonard as well, some of which are printed later in this program and all of which can be seen at dso.org/slatkin10.

From Leonard’s first season when we laid the foundation for the growth to come, we have dared to dream together that the DSO could become the most accessible orchestra on the planet. We have embraced the entire region, building audiences across Southeast Michigan, in places of worship, hospitals, senior centers, and schools, in the heart of our city, and in surrounding communities through our William Davidson Neighborhood Concert Series.

We have also sought to engage the world via the Live from Orchestra Hall and Classroom Edition webcasts as well as through the on-demand streaming platform DSO Replay. We made our triumphant return to Carnegie Hall in 2013 and our first international tour in 16 years when we played in Japan and China last summer.

Together, we have brought Detroit’s renaissance to a global audience, building allies, investment, and partnership.

Under Leonard’s leadership, we have also welcomed the next generation of DSO musicians with the addition of 35 new members, joining our veteran musicians, all committed to performing at the highest level. The enduring legacy that Leonard and the musicians share is a dedication to the DSO as a cultural cornerstone in the city, a connector of neighborhoods, and an ambassador of Detroit.

This dedication led the musicians and Leonard, together with his wife Cindy, to each establish new endowment funds supporting the future of music at the DSO. The Cindy and Leonard Slatkin Emerging Artists Fund and the DSO Musicians Artistic Excellence Fund will continue to serve our community through music in the years ahead. We are so grateful for their collective leadership and generosity.

We invite you to join them and the entire oneDSO family in securing the future of our institution for generations to come. Your continued patronage is the catalyst that continues to make the DSO relevant to every citizen of greater Detroit.

MEE T THE MUSICIAN

WILL HAAPANIEMI AND HAE JEONG HEIDI HAN Violin David and Valerie McCammon Chairs

T

here’s nothing quite like the bond musicians form with other members of their section—except marriage, perhaps.

Will Haapaniemi and Hae Jeong Heidi Han are lucky enough to have both.

Married since 2012 and DSO violinists since 2014, their matrimony is a particularly musical one. “We love working here,” says Heidi. “We respect each other.” Looking at Will, she adds: “I love working with him—we’re together 24/7!”

They both laugh, and Will chimes in.

“Well, we do some things separately. I think we’re slowly figuring out what we like to do musically, and sometimes that means doing it separately. But we’re very comfortable doing things together if we’re just trying it out.”

Will and Heidi met at the New World Symphony, and Will proposed before leaving town to accept a job with the Kansas City Symphony. Not long after that, four positions became available at the DSO, and Heidi made sure that both she and Will came up to do the same audition. “I was willing to dream that it could be possible to win two positions at once, but I wasn’t willing to fully hope that it would happen,” Will says. But it did—after advancing to the final round of a blind audition (in which the judging panel had no idea they were a married couple), both Will and Heidi were offered jobs in the DSO violin section.

“I don’t know of any other married couple that won the same audition at the same orchestra,” Will says, grinning.

And there’s another first: in 2016, DSO

DSO PERFORMANCE MAGAZINE

Governing Members David and Valerie McCammon came forward with an interesting idea. They wanted to support the DSO with an endowed chair, or rather, two endowed chairs—Will’s and Heidi’s, right next to each other.

Outside of Orchestra Hall, Will and Heidi are regular performers at DSO chamber recitals and other concerts throughout the community. “I especially enjoy performing at the Detroit Children’s Hospital during the holidays,” says Heidi. “We play Christmas music, and the little kids come and stop and listen to us, they dance…it’s great to give them a little bit of joy.”

Heidi also dedicates her time offstage to the Civic Youth Ensembles as the coach of a chamber group. Her smile grows wider as she explains why she does it: “I just love interacting with younger students. I can see them improving a lot over the time I have with them, and that makes me so happy.

That’s important to me: to see young people become musicians, and to be able to share my knowledge with them.”

While reflecting on a recent chamber recital, Will expresses his happiness with how artistically cohesive the evening was. Perhaps unconsciously, he glanced at Heidi while summarizing: “Sometimes things just come together really well.”

The Maestro’s Memories

What’s Next?

BY LEONARD SLATKIN

I

n this final installment for Performance, I wanted to share with you a few thoughts about what my wife, Cindy, and I will be up to over the next few years, as well as what I hope for the DSO. And to answer what has become a recurring question: No, I am not retiring.

What I am doing is eliminating administrative responsibility from my activities. I have spent more than 40 years heading up orchestras on two continents. It has been a joy to realize that for the most part, I seem to have made a difference in the way those organizations look toward the future.

Not every initiative or idea fell into place, but overall, I am very proud of what was accomplished, especially here in Detroit.

On paper, the idea is that I will conduct about 28 to 30 weeks each season, taking the rest of the time for more writing, relaxing, and traveling.

Cindy and I are relocating to St. Louis, where I spent 27 years with that city’s orchestra. We certainly considered staying put, but with four generations of Slatkins having been part of the Archway, Cindy and I having met there, and the number of friends that are still there, it seemed like the logical move.

DSO PERFORMANCE MAGAZINE

But we have loved our time here in Detroit and look forward to returning for four or five weeks a year in my new position as Music Director Laureate, including three weeks next February for a festival devoted to the music of our country. I have a similar title with my former orchestra in Lyon and will also conduct a number of weeks there each season.

I have more books to write, compositions to put to paper, and places to see in the world. In a year and a half, I will celebrate—if that is the right word— my 75th birthday. When 2020 passes, I will reassess how the new regimen is going and make any changes needed. By that time, my son Daniel will be married, and there might be more incentive to visit him out on the West Coast, where he is busy with his career as a film and television composer.

But what happens here after my final concerts?

Hopefully the DSO will find the absolute perfect match for the orchestra, board, and public. Perhaps the next music director will be a known quantity, or perhaps a rising star, with fresh ideas and an intriguing artistic vision. Maybe some of our initiatives will continue, but there is no question that my successor will put his or her unique stamp on the institution. I know that whoever leads the orchestra will inherit SPRING 2018

a great ensemble and an enthusiastic public. The table has been set.

Among my wishes for the future is for the orchestra to adopt a dress code that is a little more 21st century, leaving the white ties and tails behind. It also seems to me that intermissions could be five minutes longer. I would like to see the neighborhood series expand and include a larger educational component. And, of course, I would like the DSO to realize its long-term campaign goals to secure the financial stability of this great orchestra for generations to come.

Cindy and I will miss all of our friends but are so pleased that we will be returning to Detroit often. It has been an honor and privilege to spend these last ten years bringing great music to each of you. Please continue to support the DSO and become involved in any way that you can. In the meantime, let’s all enjoy the remaining weeks of this season.

I know that I will treasure them.

LEADING TONES: REFLECTIONS ON MUSIC, MUSICIANS, AND THE MUSIC INDUSTRY

By Leonard Slatkin Available now at Shop @ The Max! Leading Tones casts an inquisitive eye upon many facets of the contemporary music industry.

Although this anecdotal, episodically structured book occasionally touches on Slatkin’s life as a musician and conductor, its principal preoccupation is with the business as a whole. From the rigors and peculiarities of the audition process to the often-strained state of labor relations, Slatkin presents his perceptions of a world at once tumultuous and static. A chapter considering the professional media’s criticism from a performer’s point of view and another exploring the relationship between artistic vision and fiscal responsibility round out Slatkin’s timely analysis of our modern musical reality.

YOUR STORIES, SHARED All season long, we’ve asked you to share stories, memories, and messages of thanks about Music Director Leonard Slatkin. We’re thrilled to print some of our favorites in this issue of Performance, and many more can be read online at dso.org/Slatkin10.

You (and the Symphony) have always made me proud to say I was from Detroit...before it was chic to say it. Your love of music and Detroit was always obvious.

–Cole We have enjoyed coming to concerts the past 10 years because Mr. Slatkin is such an encourager. He encourages young musicians, new composers, and the audience alike– from introducing new musical techniques and tones and performing new works to sharing his thoughts and ideas with the audience both pre-concert and during the concert.

As a result, we have been delighted to hear and see the rich results of new sounds and many new faces in both the orchestra and the audience!

–Duane and Kathy Vosburg

So many wonderful memories of the past ten years. One moment stands at the top. Maestro Slatkin’s world premiere of his own composition Kinah – the memorial to his parents.

Playing a haunting passage off-stage on their mother’s cello was Slatkin’s brother.

Maestro, we had the pleasure of discussing the work with you at a book signing last year. You are as warm and personable in person as on-stage. Thank you for being a part of our community and our lives.

–Aughe Thank you, Mr. Slatkin, for coming to Detroit and maintaining and improving the already high quality of the DSO. I especially like your introductory remarks at the beginning of most performances.

I hope to see you often in your role as Music Director Laureate.

–Tim Koos

I grew up outside St. Louis and often heard the St. Louis Symphony with Maestro Slatkin when I was a student in the 1980s and 90s. I moved to Detroit and Leonard followed not too long after. He is what comes to mind when I think of a world-class conductor.

Dear Leonard: We have followed you everywhere from Florida to Lyon (where Sir James Galway joined us for dinner to celebrate your birthday) and to Carnegie Hall in New York.

We are so proud of you and our Detroit Symphony Orchestra.

We love being with you and Cindy and enjoy watching you conduct… and we enjoy the little comments you add to your concerts. We love your books also.

In our book, you’re the best!

I will never forget watching the Maestro conduct Bolero in 2012.

To see a man of his distinguished years give a little hop to communicate his passion for the orchestra–that love, so evident–is a special joy to experience. I hope the Maestro enjoys a relaxing, happy, and fruitful life as Laureate.

–Mitchell

My mother and father are season ticket holders at the DSO. They recently treated our family of 4 (as they often do) to a special day at Orchestra Hall celebrating the French Festival, complete with a promise of can-can dancers for my young daughters to enjoy. What we didn’t realize at the time was that Mr. Slatkin would put on such an entertaining performance to accompany the playing of Carnival of the Animals, complete with stuffed animals and neat props! To my daughter’s surprise and delight, Mr. Slatkin tossed a stuffed swan her way at the conclusion of the piece. She holds this swan near and dear, both as a memento of a beautiful day with her family and as a souvenir of Mr. Slatkin’s wonderful talent and dedication to the DSO. We will miss him as he transitions to his new role. Thank you for so many memories!

NEW MUSIC, NEW VOICES Throughout the 2017-18 Season, the DSO is proud to present several world premieres by living composers, conducted by Music Director Leonard Slatkin. These new voices, representing the next generation of composers, are former students of some of Maestro Slatkin’s musical colleagues and collaborators.

W

e all have hunches, and sometimes it takes the input of someone else to confirm them.

That’s what happened to Roshanne Etezady towards the end of her high school years: “When I was a teenager, I thought I was going to be a flute player, but as it turns out, I’m a terrible practicer. But I was writing little studies, little exercises…and then I ended up applying to a summer program. I sent a flute audition, and just for fun, I sent some of my compositions. I got accepted as a composer, not as a flute player—and that was kind of the beginning of the end of any more practicing for me!”

An in-demand composer and active educator, Etezady currently serves on the faculty at the University of Michigan, where she previously studied with William Bolcom. Her new work for the DSO, Diamond Rain, credits an extramusical — and even extra-terrestrial — influence. Scientists recently discovered that atmospheric conditions on Saturn and Neptune occasionally coalesce to create a phenomenon in which diamonds (big ones, too) fall from the sky, and Etezady liked the sound of that. “An image of floating and falling was something that kept coming up in my mind,” she says.

“I want the piece to start from this ethereal, ungrounded place…there are these

figures that start high and rapidly descend, and in my mind they’re like little bursts of rainfall.”

Etezady often finds herself inspired by bits and phenomena of her everyday life, especially words and phrases.

There may be a connection there to her time studying with Bolcom, where she remembers that some of the most important teaching moments happened away from the piano: “He might leaf through my score and say ‘okay, your F-sharp in measure 37, you should give that some thought… should we go have lunch?’”

Pausing to laugh, she adds: “And then we’d go get lunch, or coffee, and just to hear him talk, listen to his thoughts…that was incredibly important.”

When asked about her thoughts on the upcoming premiere, Etezady quickly shares her excitement. “It’s a really big deal!” she exclaims. “Any kind of orchestra performance is a rare and special thing for a composer. And it’s a lot of responsibility. There’s an entire orchestra on stage…they’ve devoted time and energy into this thing that you did.” That can be scary, she says, but adds that the fear is a sign that it’s something worth doing.

“It’s wonderful when a piece takes on its own life. It’s an incredible thrill. And I’m beside myself to be a part of this initiative.”

J

ared Miller uses the phrase “I was fortunate to…” a lot. One of his first fortunes is the big break he got during his senior year of undergraduate studies at the University of British Columbia, when he won a competition by the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra to compose a short piece for the 2010 Winter Olympics. And he hasn’t slowed down since—a few years later he was fortunate to study with John Corigliano at Juilliard, then he earned a Composer-in-Residence position with the Victoria Symphony in Canada, and now his piece Luster will receive its world premiere by the DSO and Music Director Leonard Slatkin.

But this fortune isn’t luck. Miller is tireless and wickedly talented. His work is playful, rich, and immediately interesting; these are pieces that you want to return to again and again. Luster is borne from Miller’s most recent artistic obsession: capturing electronic music effects using acoustic orchestra instruments. “It’s inspired by techno, which was created in Detroit,” he says, “and a precursor to Luster is my piece ‘Surge and Swell,’ which is also influenced by electronic dance music. It seemed like a natural thing for me to write a piece inspired by techno, not only because it was in line with my musical interests, but it also felt like it could be more significant being written for the Detroit Symphony, given the city’s history with the genre.”

This sort of original, highly personal music is characteristic of Miller’s generation of composers, and it’s what

energizes him most when he surveys the musical landscape. “There’s so much music being written and produced.

There’s so much going on,” he says. “And when someone is able to create something that’s truly their own, that doesn’t sound like anyone else…I think that’s very exciting.”

He speaks with similar enthusiasm about his former teacher John Corigliano. “He was an incredible mentor,” Miller says. “I was able to come to him with any compositional problem, and he was able to give me advice on how to handle it, how to get around it, or how he might have approached a similar problem. He was also one of the toughest teachers I ever had; he had extremely high standards. And that was great for me. It helped me transition from being a student composer to a professional composer.”

And a final fortune, at least for now: Miller makes sure to add that he is thrilled that a performance of Luster will be webcast for free via Live from Orchestra Hall, and then made available online on DSO Replay. “That’s very much in line with one of my core beliefs as an artist, which is that the arts should be accessible to anyone,” he says. “I’m just beaming with gratitude at the whole opportunity, to meet Leonard Slatkin and the players of the DSO.”

COMMUNIT Y & LE ARNING Beiser, was premiered at Congregation Shaarey Zedek, a Southfield synagogue, in January 2016 and facilitated a powerful conversation on how music can transcend cultural differences.

In this issue of Performance celebrating Leonard Slatkin’s ten years of leadership at the DSO, we are proud to share five Community & Learning stories that uniquely involve the Maestro.

New Stages “We consider the DSO to be a tremendous, exportable cultural asset, a sampling of Detroit’s renaissance one can literally hear,” said Slatkin in 2011, when the William Davidson Neighborhood Concert Series was launched. Seven years later, the DSO has performed dozens of concerts in venues across Metro Detroit, reaching audiences in their own communities and removing barriers to experience the symphony.

New Views The DSO has always championed American music but upped its game with Slatkin at the helm, together performing over 160 works by U.S. composers in ten seasons. Two of these works—premiered within two months of each other—impacted our Detroit community in incredible ways. For his Symphony in D, Tod Machover asked Detroiters to submit sounds of what they thought their city sounded like, and at the November 2015 premiere, dozens of residents performed side-by-side with Slatkin and the DSO.

Tigers by the Tail The 2017 Tigers Winter Caravan made a stop at the DSO, aligning our hometown team and orchestra in support of our greater Detroit community. Maestro Slatkin, an avid baseball fan, gave Miguel Cabrera a conducting lesson, sat down at the piano with Daniel Norris, and accepted a custom “MOZART” Tigers jersey on behalf of the orchestra, which had just kicked off its Mozart Festival.

Affordable DSO One initiative Maestro Slatkin is particularly proud of is the Soundcard student discount program, which allows students of any age to attend unlimited DSO performances for a $25 annual membership. After seeing the success of a similar program at the Orchestre National de Lyon, where he also served as music director, Slatkin brought the idea to Detroit: “Connecting with young people is so important for growing the audience of the future,” he says.

Masterclass For the hundreds of young musicians in the Civic Youth Ensembles, there are plenty of perks: mentorship from DSO musicians, the opportunity to perform on the Orchestra Hall stage, and many others. But a rehearsal led by one of the great living conductors? That’s a rare— and incredible—treat. It happened in 2016, when Slatkin conducted the Detroit Symphony Youth Orchestra, and the Maestro will join the ensemble again this May. SPRING 2018

DSO PERFORMANCE MAGAZINE 21

Profiles FABIEN GABEL Recognized internationally as one of the stars of the new generation, Fabien Gabel is a regular guest of major orchestras in Europe, GABEL North America, and Asia. He has served as music director of the Quebec Symphony Orchestra since September 2013, and was recently appointed music director of the Orchestre Français des Jeunes (French Youth Orchestra).

Gabel has conducted leading orchestras around the world, including the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the BBC Symphony Orchestra, the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, the Orchestre de Paris, the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester in Hamburg, the DSO Berlin, Staatskappelle Dresden, Danish National Symphony Orchestra, Oslo Philharmonic, Orchestra dell’Accademia Santa Cecilia di Roma, and the Seoul Philharmonic, among others. His rapidly-expanding U.S. presence has seen him leading the Cleveland Orchestra, Houston Symphony Orchestra, Detroit Symphony Orchestra, San Diego Symphony Orchestra, and more.

Gabel first attracted international attention in 2004 after winning the Donatella Flick Competition in London, which subsequently led to his appointment as the London Symphony Orchestra’s assistant conductor for the 2004-05 and 2005-06 seasons. Since then, the LSO has engaged him regularly as a guest conductor. He made his 22

DSO PERFORMANCE MAGAZINE

professional conducting debut in 2003 with the Orchestre National de France.

Born to a musical family in Paris, Gabel began studying trumpet at the age of six, honing his skills at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris, which awarded him a First Prize in trumpet in 1996, and later at the Musik Hochschule of Karlsruhe. In 2002, he pursued his interest in conducting at the Aspen Summer Music Festival, where he studied with David Zinman, who invited him to appear as a guest conductor at the Festival in 2009.

NICOLAS ALTSTAEDT German-French cellist Nicolas Altstaedt is in demand for his musical integrity and effortless virtuosity. Awarded the Credit Suisse Young Artist Award in 2010, he gave a highly acclaimed performance of Schumann’s Cello Concerto with the Vienna Philharmonic under Gustavo Dudamel at the Lucerne Festival. Since then, he has performed worldwide with top orchestras, including the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra, New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, and others. He is also a dedicated recitalist and chamber musician, regu- ALTSTAEDT larly appearing at world-class venues and festivals.

Altstaedt is currently Artist in Spotlight at the Concertgebouw and will be Artist in Residence at the NDR Elbphilharmonie Hamburg in 2018-19.

He has served as artistic director of the SPRING 2018

Lockenhaus Chamber Music Festival since 2012 and artistic director of the Haydn Philharmonie since 2014.

Altstaedt’s recent recording of CPE Bach Concertos on Hyperion with Arcangelo and Jonathan Cohen received the BBC Music Magazine Concerto Award

in 2017. This year, he released a recital recording with Fazil Say on Warner.

Altstaedt was a BBC New Generation Artist from 2010-12 and a recipient of the Borletti Buitoni Trust Fellowship in 2009. He plays a Giulio Cesare Gigli cello, from around 1760.

ésar Franck’s D-minor symphony, completed in 1888, was a landmark in French music and in the composer’s own life and work. In it, Franck breaks with the “decorative” tradition of symphonic writing that characterizes Frenchmen like Gounod and Bizet, opting for a route described both then and now as “Wagnerian.” The work is one of the last that Franck wrote in his life, making it both his first and final symphony.

Before tackling the controversial symphony, Franck was a popular and talented champion of the tone poem. The present work, Le Chasseur maudit, is a tone poem in a purely narrative style, based on pictorial impulses and musical drama. It contains some hints and tendencies later picked up in the symphony, particularly Franck’s habit of orchestrating in great blocks of sound. In addition to being a mature and endlessly intriguing work, Chasseur helps us understand

dso.org

the rest of Franck’s output, and therefore how French music began to change as the 19th century gave way to the 20th.

And of course, the story: Chasseur is inspired by a gruesome ballad written by the German poet Gottfried Bürgher. In it, the Count of the Rhine, a tireless hunter, decides to skip Sunday Mass to hunt. When he blows on his hunting horn, no sound comes out; instead a mysterious voice appears, warning the hunter that his blasphemy will make him the prey of demons, pursued for all eternity.

The DSO most recently performed Franck’s Le Chasseur maudit in April 2001, conducted by Neeme Järvi. The DSO first performed the piece in February 1930, conducted by Eugene Goossens.

hile many composers draw inspiration from a work of literature, the French composer Henri Dutilleux presents an extreme case—the influence of several writers, many of whom crop up more than once, practically defines his career. One of these is the poet Charles Baudelaire, whose bibliography Dutilleux tore through in the early 1960s to complete a commission by the Paris Opéra for a ballet based on Baudelaire’s scandalous Les Fleurs du mal. But Dutilleux felt that the ballet’s proposed plot was too literal—he “did not conceive Baudelaire in those terms”—nevertheless, the inspiration stuck, and seemed more appropriate for a separate commission from the cellist Mstislav Rostropovich.

As Dutilleux explains, “The cello, because of its character and its timbre, was the ideal instrument to act as a link, an intermediary, between Baudelaire’s world and the sound world, and as the embodiment of the idea of escape: escape through travel, through eroticism, through drugs, even through mystical rapture.” Tout un monde lointain… (“A Whole Distant World…”) is the result, and each of the five movements feature a Baudelaire epigraph at the head of the score.

The piece honors both its title and its source of inspiration. Heady, hazy, and full of engaging interplay between the soloist and orchestra, Tout un monde lointain… is a lively and even trippy musical journey through dreams, mirrors, waves, and other mystifying imagery. It became a signature piece for both Dutilleux and Rostropovich—the latter of whom was such a champion that the work is now a standard for a great many cellists.

The DSO has previously performed Henri Dutilleux’s Tout un monde lointain…

laude Debussy’s three orchestral Nocturnes took shape over a bumpy compositional process in the 1890s.

Originally inspired by the work of symbolist writer Henri de Regnier, the pieces began their life as a tone poem triptych; after the very successful premiere of his string quartet, however, Debussy reworked the pieces to include solo violin so he could involve the great Belgian fiddler Eugène Ysaÿe. But for unknown reasons, that didn’t work out— so in 1899, more than five years after he began noodling with the source material, Debussy published the Nocturnes as a three-movement work for orchestra.

The original poetry that inspired Debussy was all about twilight, and a second influence cropped up in the multi-year compositional process: James Abbot McNeill Whistler’s impressionist painting Nocturne in Black and Gold – The Falling Rocket, depicting a nighttime scene lit only by the bright ashes of a burst firework. (The gorgeous and then-controversial painting is on SPRING 2018

repeating melodic fragments that pass in kaleidoscopic succession. The final movement is the most novel in its scoring, if only for its use of a women’s choir singing wordlessly to suggest the seamaidens of its title. Its fluid rhythms and the constant swell and fall of its phrases create a seascape that is at once poetic and convincing.

—Paul Schiavo The DSO most recently performed Debussy’s Nocturnes in October 1999 at a Young People’s Concert conducted by David Amado. The DSO first performed the piece in April 1921, conducted

by Ossip Gabrilowitsch and featuring soprano Emma Patten Hoyt.

It showcases “all the various impressions and the special effects of light that the word suggests.”

Debussy paints the sky with muted but extraordinarily rich sonic colors in the first movement, Nuages, whose principal elements are a sequence of circling chords and a brief figure assigned to the English horn. The somber character of this music is dispelled at once with the first notes of Fêtes. From its outset this music conveys a sense of tremendous energy through its use of insistently dso.org

avel began sketching his symphonic poem, Wien, as early as 1907, intending to musically depict the city of Vienna—though the composer had yet to visit the Austrian capital, he felt he “knew” the city intimately by way of its musical legacy. But as he inched towards completing the work, the world plunged into war. Ravel picked up the work again after receiving interest in a commission from Serge Diaghilev and the Ballet Russes, but Diaghilev was unsatisfied with the result and refused to produce the ballet. Frustrated, Ravel changed both title and work to fit in the concert hall. La Valse received its premiere in 1920 under the baton of Ida Rubenstein.

“Clouds whirl about,” state the composer’s notes. “Occasionally they part to allow a glimpse of waltzing couples. As they gradually lift, one can discern a

gigantic hall, filled by a crowd of dancers in motion. The stage gradually brightens. The glow of chandeliers breaks out fortissimo.”

Although stripped of its original title, the work retains ties to its Viennese inspiration. From its misty opening to its energetic climax, where the dance almost seizes control of its participants as if in a nightmare, La Valse is not just the composer’s attempt at a Viennese waltz—its violent strokes depict more than a social dance and something closer to social commentary.

—Stephanie Heriger The DSO most recently performed Ravel’s La Valse in May 2013 at Carnegie Hall, conducted by Music Director Leonard Slatkin at the Spring for Music festival. The DSO first performed the piece in March 1925, conducted by Victor Kolar.

Lortie is the Master in Residence at The Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel of Brussels. He studied in Montreal with Yvonne Hubert (a pupil of the legendary Alfred Cortot), in Vienna with Beethoven specialist Dieter Weber, and subsequently with Schnabel disciple Leon

Fleisher. In 1984, he won First Prize in the Busoni Competition and was also prizewinner at the Leeds Competition.

Lortie’s LacMus International Festival on Lake Como, Italy, made its long-awaited debut in 2017 and will return in June and July.

Program Notes Rhapsodisk Overture (Fantasy Journey to Faroe Islands) CARL NIELSEN B. June 9, 1865, Nørre Lyndelse, Denmark D. October 3, 1931, Copenhagen, Denmark

C

arl Nielsen is the central figure in Danish music after the Romantic period, and his international reputation and influence are striking. Where Mahler took the symphony to its late-Romantic culmination, Nielsen and his contemporary Sibelius took the form of the symphony and found new means to mold it into a rejuvenated genre. His music is frequently described as a reaction against the late Romantic style, but this is not quite accurate, as it was more of an evolution, influenced by his great admiration for the precision of the Classical period.

Nielsen wrote the present piece in 1927 for the Royal Danish Theatre in Copenhagen, to help celebrate an official visit to the Danish capital by a group of 50 Faroese singers. (The Faroe Islands

dso.org

are a rocky and remote archipelago in the north Atlantic, about halfway between Norway and Iceland.) A few days before the concert a long interview with Nielsen was published in an influential newspaper called Politiken, in which he said, in part, “It’s just an occasional work, an example of workmanship if you like…but I have been happy working on it and I think it has come to sound very good. I have used many Faroese melodies in it, but the introduction and ending are [my own] free composition.” Nielsen never much liked program music, but here he did want to tell a story, and this imaginary voyage takes the listener through five sections, marked The Calm Sea, The Land on Arrival, Dancing and Singing, Farewell, and Calm At Sea. The work begins mysteriously, evoking a new day and peaceful seascape, with perhaps the squawk of a bird. It quickly shifts to a bounding and riotous dance that characterize the middle three sections before returning to where it began: stillness. Nielsen wraps things up with a quotation of the Faroese folk song “Easter Bells Chime Softly,” which was very popular in Denmark at the time.

These performances will be the DSO premieres of Nielsen’s Rhapsodisk Overture (Fantasy Journey to Faroe Islands).

Program Notes Piano Concerto No. 3 in C minor, Op. 37 LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN B. December 1770, Bonn, Germany D. March 26, 1827, Vienna, Austria

Scored for solo piano, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani, and strings. (Approx. 34 minutes)

I

n 1799, Beethoven attended a performance of Mozart’s great C minor Piano Concerto, K. 491, his 24th, at a concert given in the ballroom of Vienna’s Augarten Park. His companion that day was another pianist and composer, Johann Cramer, and as the concerto ended, Beethoven was heard to exclaim: “Cramer, Cramer! We shall never do anything like that!”

Despite this pejorative remark, Mozart’s work was regularly on Beethoven’s mind—sometimes simply as beautiful music, but often as a sort of standard to be matched or challenge to be met. So, it is unsurprising that Beethoven composed a concerto in the same key about a year after hearing Mozart’s turbulent 24th.

The Piano Concerto No. 3, Op. 37, occupies an intermediate position, in style as well as chronology, among Beethoven’s five works in this genre. Its formal outline resembles the Classical model followed so closely in his first two piano concertos, yet there are unmistakable signs of the bold departures which would mark Beethoven’s succeeding works of this kind. The scale is larger and more symphonic than any 18th century concerto, distant tonal relationships are skillfully exploited, and the development of the thematic material is accomplished with a thoroughness typical of Beethoven’s mature style.

The long first movement unfolds under the pervasive influence of C minor, a key Beethoven associated with pathos and desperate struggle. Here, the principal theme is forged from two dramatically opposed ideas: in the first four measures, the strings present a rather brusque and ominous motif which, after being echoed a step higher by the winds, is followed at once by a more lyrical and impassioned idea. The coexistence of such diverse and powerful elements accounts for much of the energy and tension Beethoven achieves here.

The ensuing Largo is in the remote

and traditionally “serene” key of E major.

Following the stormy outbursts of the first movement, its almost religious tranquility is all the more effective. And with the concluding Rondo, Beethoven returns us to C minor, but not to the dramatic struggles of the first movement.

The opening theme sounds, rather, quite lively. Alternating with episodes of more sunny music, the melody develops with an inventive flair characteristic of Beethoven’s best music. It forms the subject for a striking fugato passage and later, transformed to C major and 6/8 time, launches the rollicking coda passage that brings the work to a close.

The DSO most recently performed Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 3 in May 2014, conducted by Music Director Leonard Slatkin and featuring pianist Yefim Bronfman. The DSO first performed the piece in April 1922, conducted by Ossip Gabrilowitsch and featuring pianist William Bachaus.

Concerto for Birds and Orchestra, “Cantus Arcticus” EINOJUHANI RAUTAVAARA B. October 9, 1928, Helsinki, Finland D. July 27, 2016, Helsinki, Finland

Scored for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, trombone, timpani, percussion, harp, celeste, recorded birdsongs, and strings. (Approx. 17 minutes)

F

or most of his life, Einojuhani Rautavaara struggled to cope with the presence of two shadows. One is the memory of a dark angel that appeared to him in a childhood nightmare and held him in a suffocating embrace; he was

dso.org

never able to forget this apparition and used the word “angel” in several of his major works. The other shadow is the one cast by his compatriot Jean Sibelius, Finland’s greatest composer, to whom Rautavaara was endlessly compared.

Their musical styles are not apples and apples—rather, the constant measuring-up is to see if Rautavaara might ever dethrone Sibelius as Finland’s great composer.

Rautavaara’s output holds a wide range of styles, beginning with Stravinsky-like Neo-Classical work in the 1950s and tackling Constructivism, Neo-Romanticism, and jazz crossovers through the following decades. By the 80s and 90s, he had synthesized an eclectic, melodically accessible, very personal, and immediately recognizable postmodern style, in which he blends elements of the several genres with a fanatical reverence for the mystical.

The intriguingly-titled Concerto for Birds, also known as “Cantus Arcticus,” is probably Rautavaara’s best-known work. It incorporates recordings of birdsongs made in the northernmost stretches of Finland, marking the influence that bird sounds have had on composers and musicians for centuries.

In the composer’s own words, “Instead of the conventional festive cantata for choir and orchestra, I wrote a ‘Concerto for Birds and Orchestra.’ The first movement, Suo (The Marsh), opens with two solo flutes. They are gradually joined by other wind instruments and the sound of bog birds in spring. In Melankolia, the featured bird is the shore lark, and its song has been slowed down by two octaves to turn it into a ghost bird. The last movement, Joutsenet muuttavat (Swans migrating), is an aleatory [chance] texture featuring four independent instrumental groups. The texture DSO PERFORMANCE MAGAZINE 31

increases in complexity, the sounds of the migrating swans are also multiplied, and there is a long crescendo by the orchestra until at the end both birdsong and orchestra gradually fade as the sound seems to be lost in the distance.”

These performances of Rautavaara’s Concerto for Birds and Orchestra, “Cantus Arcticus,” will be DSO premieres.

Symphony No. 7 in C major, Op. 105 JEAN SIBELIUS B. December 8, 1865, Hämeenlinna, Finland D. September 20, 1957, Ainola, Finland

T

he Seventh is Jean Sibelius’s last symphony, though during his lifetime he gave repeated hints that he was working on (or had even finished) an eighth. Only a three-bar sketch of the first movement of such a symphony has ever been discovered, though—not enough for even the most enterprising musicologist to “reconstruct” a whole piece, as has been done for Elgar’s No. 3 or Beethoven’s No. 10.

The origins of the Seventh are entwined with the Fifth and Sixth, and sketches for all three are intermingled.

Sibelius conceived three or four movements at several points during the composition of the piece, but the final version is one great span labeled “symphonic fantasy.” Scholars and analysts have tried to dissect the Seventh into movements, but no dice; as musicologist Ernest Newman wrote in 1932, the work contains “no first and second [subject], no egg and no chicken, in the matter of the idea and the form: each just is the other.”

Listeners are well advised to let the music simply carry them along. There is no roadmap, but there are a few signposts here and there—a heroic trombone theme that sounds at the beginning, middle, and end, for example.

And the orchestration is as important an element as any other, spotlighting Sibelius’s flexible and expert writing for strings with the winds as their foil.

Though the piece can feel like a puzzling and unexpected shout from the void, it is as beautiful and well-constructed as any of Sibelius’s mature compositions.

—Michael Fleming The DSO most recently performed Sibelius’s Symphony No. 7 in May 1999, conducted by Neeme Järvi. The DSO first performed the piece in January 1933, conducted by Victor Kolar.

NOTABLE PROJECT SUPPORT The Detroit Symphony Orchestra acknowledges the following partners for their support of exceptional projects, partnerships, and performances that boldly advance the DSO’s mission to be a leader in the world of classical music.

Young pianists will soon be able to participate in the DSO’s Wu Family Academy for Learning and Engagement and Civic Youth Ensembles thanks to the generous support of Bob and Martie Sachs. Their gift to establish the Bea and Harry Shapiro Fund for Keyboard Education will allow the DSO to offer dedicated piano classes and training labs, as well as a designated DSO musician to coach chamber ensembles, and scholarship support to ensure comprehensive music education is accessible to all students.

The DSO is excited to recognize and encourage teacher excellence and creativity in serving Detroit students through the Live from Orchestra Hall: Classroom Edition webcast series and The Berman Teacher of the Year Award. Thanks to the continued support of The Mandell and Madeleine Berman Foundation, the DSO will award two educators in Detroit with classroom visits from DSO musicians, tickets and transportation for their classes to attend a future Educational Concert Series performance at Orchestra Hall, and cash prizes, to encourage additional educators to incorporate the webcast and concert guide materials in their classrooms.

This past March, DSO musicians had the opportunity to perform works by Jewish composers murdered during 46

DSO PERFORMANCE MAGAZINE

the Holocaust for an audience at the Holocaust Memorial Center’s exhibition Sifting through Ashes by artist Bruce Gendelman. This evening of music and art was made possible through a generous gift by Julie and Peter Cummings and was aimed at honoring the masterworks of the past while educating audiences of today.

Thanks to the generous support of Judith Ginsberg and the Dr. Myron Ginsberg Memorial Scholarship Fund, two deserving students have scholarships to participate in the DSO’s Civic Jazz Orchestra this year.

Through funds like this the DSO can further its efforts to cultivate every student’s artistic and creative potential through rewarding musical experiences while continuing to develop meaningful skills outside of the arts.

DSO musicians are on the move and performing for patrons at upcoming 2018 Musical Feasts. Long time DSO supporters Janet & Norman Ankers, Lori & Lawrence Rapp, and Deborah & Michael Savoie will open their homes for these special performances allowing guests to experience the exquisite artistry of the DSO’s musicians in a unique way. Thanks to the hosts and to the musicians, who are donating their services, all proceeds from the Musical Feasts will benefit the DSO and its efforts to embrace and inspire communities through unsurpassed musical experiences. † Deceased
