HECTOR BERLIOZ

Suite from Roméo et Juliette, Dramatic Symphony, Opus 17 (1839) On September 11, 1827 began what Hector Berlioz called in his Memoirs “the supreme drama of my life.” It was on that date that John Kemble’s company of English actors opened their first Parisian season of Shakespearean plays. Of the opening night perABOUT THE COMPOSER: Born 11 December 1803 in La formance of Hamlet, Berlioz wrote, “In the role of Côte-Saint-André, Isére, France; Ophelia I saw Harriet Smithson. The impression died 8 March 1869 in Paris made on my heart and mind by her extraordinary talPREMIERE OF WORK: ent, nay her dramatic genius, was equaled only by Paris, 24 November 1839 Paris Conservatoire the havoc wrought in me by the poet she so nobly Hector Berlioz, conductor interpreted. Shakespeare, coming upon me PSO PREMIERE: unawares, struck me like a thunderbolt. The light19 May 1972 ning flash of that discovery revealed to me at a stroke William Steinberg, conductor the whole haven of art, illuminating it to its remotest INSTRUMENTATION: corners. I recognized the meaning of grandeur, piccolo, two flutes, two oboes, English horn, two clarinets, four beauty, dramatic truth.... I lost the power of sleep bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, and with it all my former animation. I wandered aimtwo cornets, three trombones, tuba, lessly about the streets of Paris and the neighboring timpani, percussion, two harps and strings plains. Shaken to the depths by the experience of APPROXIMATE DURATION: Hamlet, I vowed not to expose myself a second time 50 minutes to the flame of Shakespeare’s genius.” But he could not stay away, and attended the performance of Romeo and Juliet on September 15. He was overwhelmed again by Shakespeare and Smithson (“I was lost,” in his own words), and so began his almost maniacal pursuit of Harriet which she at first spurned for fear of encouraging a madman but eventually accepted and became, after much time and many machinations (including the composition and performance of the Symphonie Fantastique to impress her with his artistic worth), his wife, on October 3, 1833. Their marital story continued and ended sadly. Harriet, her popularity faded and her life with the impulsive composer less than satisfying, took to drink, separated from her husband and died in 1854.

Berlioz’ passion for Shakespeare, however, remained undimmed. The great works of the Bard filled a special need for the French Romantics of the early 19th century, who were actively seeking new artistic horizons beyond the old strictures imposed by the doyens of their national culture. “To men fretting under these unnatural restraints,” wrote David Cairns in his study of Berlioz, “Shakespeare’s plays were a heaven-sent demonstration of the sovereign power of an art which overleapt barriers and which, so far from excluding contrast of genres, positively reveled in it.” The initial impact of Shakespeare on Berlioz is even more extraordinary because he did not understand a word of English in 1827 (he took a night class in 1828 and became a proficient reader), and was familiar with the text of the English-language presentations only in translation. “The power of the acting, especially that of Juliet herself, the rapid flow of the scenes, the play of expression and voice and gesture,” he wrote, “possessed me with the ideas and passions of the original as the words of my pale and garbled translation could never have done.” In their rich and varied emotions, 14 pittsburghsymphony.org

program notes

nobility of language and heightened expression, the dramas of Shakespeare were an integral part of the Romantic sensibility.

The idea for a musical work based on Romeo and Juliet remained with Berlioz for years, but it was not until 1839 that he was able to bring it to fruition. On December 16, 1838, Berlioz, worn out from a grueling round of attending concerts and writing criticism and from the difficulties of mounting the opera Benvenuto Cellini, found enough strength to produce a concert that included the Symphonie Fantastique and Harold in Italy. The legendary Nicolò Paganini, an ardent supporter of Berlioz, was in the audience, and he heard Harold, the work he had commissioned (but never played), for the first time. After the concert, Berlioz wrote, “Paganini came up to me at the orchestra door, gesticulating violently. ‘Your music has overwhelmed me,’ he said, ‘and it is all I can do not to go down on my knees to thank you.’ At these astonishing words I made a gesture of embarrassment and incredulity; but Paganini, seizing me by the arm, dragged me back onto the platform, where many of the players still lingered. There he knelt and kissed my hand.” Two days later, Berlioz received the following note: “My dear friend, Beethoven being dead, only Berlioz can make him live again; and I who have heard your divine compositions, so worthy of the genius you are, humbly beg you to accept, as a token of my homage, 20,000 francs. Believe me to be your most affectionate friend, Nicolò Paganini.” Berlioz, uncharacteristically, could not find adequate words to express himself. “The reply I wrote seemed to me so inadequate,” he confessed. “There are some feelings and situations which leave one crushed.”

After paying his debts, Berlioz still had left “a handsome sum of money,” and determined to put it to a musical purpose — namely, to free himself temporarily from the onerous obligations as a music journalist that sapped so much time and energy, and devote himself instead to “a really important work, something splendid on a grand and original plan, full of passion and imagination, worthy to be dedicated to the glorious artist to whom I owed so much.” He submitted various subjects to Paganini but was told, “I cannot advise you about it. You know best what will suit you.” By early 1839 Berlioz had settled, perhaps inevitably, on the topic that had so fired his spirit a dozen years before — Romeo and Juliet — and built on it a “dramatic symphony” for chorus, soloists and orchestra. “How ardently I lived during those seven months,” he wrote of the work’s composition. “How boldly I swam in that great ocean of poetry, caressed by the capricious breeze of fancy, beneath the warm rays of that sun of love which Shakespeare kindled, and confident of my power to reach the magic isle where stands the temple of pure art!” (Berlioz was never one to hide his flamboyance, in tone or in word.) Berlioz himself conducted the premiere on November 24, 1839 at the Paris Conservatoire before an audience of intellectuals and musical devotees that Balzac described as “the brain of Paris.” This performance and two subsequent ones (December 1 and 15) Berlioz judged to be successes, though he was somewhat rankled that the return was only 1,100 francs.

His chief regret, however, was that Paganini died in Nice only five months later, never having heard the music that he had made possible.

In a preface to the score, Berlioz wrote, “There is no doubt that the special character of this work will be misunderstood.... It is neither an opera in concert form nor a cantata, but a symphony with chorus.” In between the laying out the story’s argument in a Prologue for chorus and soloists and the texted reconciliation scene of the warring houses in the finale, Berlioz chose carefully the episodes from the drama that best represented its essential elements and set them largely for orchestra with only limited participation by the vocal forces. “The very sublimity of the drama’s passion is perilous for a comPROGRAM NOTES BY DR.

poser who attempted actually to describe it,” Berlioz noted, “hence the recourse to the language of instruments, a language richer, more varied and highly developed, and by its very vagueness incomparably more effective in this instance.” It is exactly this emphasis on instrumental expression (which had a telling influence on the young, pre-Rienzi Richard Wagner, who attended the premiere) that places the work firmly in the symphonic repertoire rather than in some other, despite the unconventionality of its form.

Romeo and Juliet opens with the scurrying fugato of the Introduction, music depicting the conflict of the Montagues and the Capulets. The stentorian proclamation of unison trombones, based on an augmentation of the fugato theme, signifies the entreaties of the Prince for the end of hostilities. Part II begins with Romeo Alone and closes with Festival at the Capulets, which superimposes Juliet’s theme in a broad statement by the brass upon the nearly feverish excitement of the fête. Of the splendid Love Scene, Berlioz’ own favorite among his compositions and a work that he conducted frequently on his programs, David Cairns wrote, “The extraordinary purity of the music is not a paradox; it suggests not restraint but a passion so incandescent that it transfigures sensuality.” The Queen Mab Scherzo was inspired by Mercutio’s speech about the love-struck Romeo having been visited by the dream fairy. Berlioz’s description of this music to the poet Heinrich Heine perfectly matches its gossamer strains: “Queen Mab in her microscopic car, attended by the buzzing insects of a summer’s night and launched at full galop by her tiny horses, fully displays her lovely drollery and her thousand caprices.”

Romeo at the Tomb of the Capulets is music of agitation and grief.

JOHANNES BRAHMS

Concerto No. 2 in B-flat major for Piano and Orchestra, Opus 83 (1878, 1881) In April 1878, Brahms journeyed to Goethe’s “land where the lemon trees bloom” with two friends, the Viennese surgeon Theodor Billroth and the composer Carl Goldmark. Though he found the music of Italy ghastly (he complained of hearing one opera that consisted wholly of final cadences), he loved the cathedrals, the sculptures, the artworks and, especially, the countryside. Spring was just turning into summer during his visit, and he wrote to his dear friend Clara Schumann, “You can have no conception of how beautiful it is here.” Still under the spell of the beneficent Italian climate, Brahms sketched themes for his Second Piano Concerto on his return to Austria on the eve of his 45th birthday. Other matters pressed, however, and the Concerto was put aside. Three years later, during the spring of 1881, Brahms returned to Italy and he was inspired by this second trip to resume composition on the Concerto. The score was completed by July. Whether or not the halcyon influence of Italy can be detected in the wondrous music of the Bflat Concerto is for each listener to decide. This work 16 pittsburghsymphony.org

is certainly much more mellow than the stormy First Concerto, introduced more than 20 years earlier, but whether this quality is the result of Brahms’ trips to the sunny south, or of a decade of imbibing Viennese Gemütlichkeit, or simply of greater maturity remains a matter for speculation.

The Concerto opens with a sylvan horn call answered by sweeping arpeggios from the piano. These initial gestures are introductory to the sonata form proper, which begins with the robust entry of the full orchestra. A number of themes are presented in the exposition; most are lyrical, but one is vigorously rhythmic. The development uses all of the thematic material, with one section welded almost seamlessly to the next, a characteristic of all Brahms’ greatest works. The recapitulation is ushered in by the solo horn, here given a richer orchestral accompaniment than on its earlier appearance.

It is rare for a concerto to have more than three movements. The second movement, a scherzo, was added by Brahms to expand the structure of this Concerto to a symphonic four movements. The composer’s biographer Max Kalbeck thought that the movement had originally been intended for the Violin Concerto but that Brahms, on the advice of Joseph Joachim, for whom the piece was written, had eliminated it from that work. In key and mood, it differs from the other movements of the Concerto to provide a welcome contrast in the overall architecture of the composition.

The third movement is a touching nocturne based on the song of the solo cello heard immediately at the beginning. (Brahms later fitted this same melody with words as the song Immer leiser wird mein Schlummer [“My Sleep Grows Ever More Peaceful”].) An agitated central section gives way to long, magical phrases for the clarinets which lead to a return of the solo cello’s lovely theme.

The finale fuses rondo and sonata elements in a style strongly reminiscent of Hungarian Gypsy music. The jaunty rondo theme is presented without introduction. It is carefully and thoroughly examined before two lyrical motives are presented. As a study in the way in which small musical fragments may be woven into an exquisite whole, this rousing movement is unexcelled.

2011-2012 SEASON

GIANANDREA NOSEDA Gianandrea Noseda is considered among the most sought-after conductors of our time serving as Music Director of the Teatro Regio Torino, Chief Guest Conductor of the Israel Philharmonic, Victor De Sabata Guest Conductor of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and Laureate Conductor of the BBC Philharmonic in Manchester. Since 2001, he has been Artistic Director of the Stresa Festival, one of the legendary Italian Music festivals. Noseda became the first foreign Principal Guest Conductor at the Mariinsky Theatre in 1997 and has been the Principal Guest Conductor of the Rotterdam Philharmonic and of the Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della RAI. Noseda holds the honour of “Cavaliere Ufficiale al Merito della Repubblica Italiana.”

Born in Milan, Noseda regularly conducts many of the leading orchestras including the Chicago Symphony, New York Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra in the U.S., the London Symphony Orchestra, Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Oslo Philharmonic, DSO Berlin, Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra, Orchestre National de France, Orchestre de Paris in Europe and the NHK Symphony Orchestra in Japan. His magnificent interpretation of the Britten’s War Requiem with the London Symphony Orchestra and Chorus in London and New York in fall 2011, received unanimous acclaim from the critics in London and New York. Alex Ross of The New Yorker and Antony Tommasini of The New York Times both selected the performance at the Avery Fisher Hall as one of the most significant musical events of 2011.

As Music Director of the Teatro Regio Torino, Noseda has conducted many opera productions including Salome directed by Robert Carsen, Massenet’s Thaïs (available on Arthaus DVD), La traviata directed by Laurent Pelly, Mussorgsky’s Boris Godunov directed

by Andrei Konchalovsky (Opus Arte DVD), Fidelio and Tosca. In summer 2010, he led the Teatro Regio forces in their first-ever residency in Japan and China; in May 2011, he toured them in Spain and brought them back to the Théâtre des Champs Elysées in Paris,

where they have an annual performance and where they presented a critically acclaimed concert performance of Tosca in January 2012. Noseda’s privileged relationship with the Metropolitan Opera began in 2002 with Prokofiev’s War and Peace and has continued to this day with La forza del destino (2006), Un ballo in maschera (2007) and with new productions of Il trovatore (2009) and La traviata (2010). In June 2011, he conducted Lucia di Lammermoor on the Met’s Japan tour and returns to conduct Macbeth in March and April 2012.

Noseda’s intense collaboration with the BBC Philharmonic continues with studio recordings, subscription concerts at the Bridgewater Hall and the annual appearance at the Proms in London. His live performances of Beethoven’s complete symphonies from Manchester with the BBC Philharmonic in 2005 were up to that point one of the most successful classical music streaming events in history with more than 1.4 million downloads as part of BBC Radio 3’s The Beethoven Experience.

An exclusive Chandos artist since 2002, Noseda’s discography includes Prokofiev, Karlowitz, Dvorak, Smetana, Shostakovich, Liszt’s Symphonic works, Rachmaninoff (the operas and the symphonies) Mahler and Bartok. He is championing both known and lesser-known Italian composers of the 20th

century through an extensive survey of their music, which includes works by Respighi, Dallapiccola, Wolf-Ferrari (Diapason d’or in France) and Casella. He has also recorded for Deutsche Grammophon conducting the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra in Anna Netrebko’s debut album and the Teatro Regio Torino Orchestra for a Mozart album featuring Ildebrando D’Arcangelo.

Noseda is very involved with the next generation of musicians through his tireless work with youth orchestras such as the Orchestra of the Royal College of Music in London, the National Youth Orchestra of United Kingdom and the Orchestra Giovanile Italiana. After the success of their 2010 tour, he will tour with the European Union Youth Orchestra again in August 2012.

2011-2012 SEASON

NICHOLAS ANGELICH Born in 1970, Nicholas Angelich began studying piano at the age of five. Two years later he played his first concert, performing Mozart Concerto K. 467. Angelich entered the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique in Paris at 13, where he studied with Aldo Ciccolini, Yvonne Loriod and Michel Beroff, and won first prize for piano and chamber music. He also participated in masterclasses with Leon Fleisher, Dmitri Bashkirov and Maria Joao Pires, and was a resident of the International Piano Foundation of Cadennabia in Italy.

Angelich is a prizewinner of numerous piano competitions, including the International Piano Competition R. Casadesus in Cleveland and the International Piano Competition Gina Bachauer in Utah. In June 2003, he received the “International Klavierfestival Ruhr, Young Talent Award” from Leon Fleischer.

In June 2011, Virgin Classics will release the highly anticipated new recording of Bach Goldberg Variations by Nicholas Angelich.

Angelich made his recital debut with the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Concert and Lecture Series, and his Los Angeles Philharmonic debut under Stephane Deneve in the 2010-2011 season.

During the 2009-2010 season, Angelich performed with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra under Charles Dutoit, and made his Philadelphia Orchestra debut under Yannick Nezet-Seguin. In summer 2009, he made his BBC Proms debut with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, and performed at the Mostly Mozart Festival, also under Nezet-Seguin.

Angelich has performed with the Orchestre National de France under Marc Minkowski and Joseph Pons, Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, Orchestre National de Lyon under David Robertson, Orchestre National de Bordeaux under Yutako Sado, Orchestre National de Lille under Matthias Bamert, Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte-Carlo under Jesus Lopez-Cobos and Kenneth Montgomery, Orchestre de Liège and SaintPetersbourg Symphony under Alexandre Dimitriev, Strasbourg and Montpellier orchestras under Jerzy Semkow, Toulouse Orchestra 20 pittsburghsymphony.org

under Jaap van Zweden and Yannick NezetSequin, Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne under Christian Zacharias, SWR Baden-Baden Orchestra under Michael Gielen, Frankfurt Radio Orchestra and Atlanta Symphony under Hugh Wolff, Cincinnati Symphony under Paavo Järvi, Stephane Deneve and Ivan Fischer, and the Indianapolis Symphony under Jesus LopezCobos.

An impressive interpreter of the classical and romantic repertoire, Angelich has given many performances featuring the works of Beethoven and Liszt in Europe and North America, including France (La Roque d’Anthéron, Toulouse, Nantes), Germany (Klavierfestival Ruhr, Bayer Leverkusen), Italy (Brescia), Spain (Bilbao), Canada (La Lanaudière), and the U.S. (Washington, DC).

He has also gained recognition for his interpretation of 20th century music, including performances of works by Rachmaninov, Prokofiev, Shostakovich, Bartok, Ravel, Messiaen, Stockhausen, Boulez, Tanguy and Pierre Henry, who dedicated his composition “Concerto for Piano Without Orchestra” to Angelich.

Angelich’s chamber collaborations include critically acclaimed performances with Dimitri Sitkovetsky, Joshua Bell, Gérard Caussé, Alexander Kniazev, Jian Wang, Paul Meyer, the Ysaye and Prazak Quartets, and Gautier and Renaud Capuçon. His recording of the Brahms Trios with the Capuçons for Virgin Classics was awarded the German Record Critics’ Prize.

Angelich has also released recordings for Harmonia Mundi, Lyrinx and Mirare, which feature works by Beethoven, Liszt, Ravel and Rachmaninov.

In May 2003, Angelich made his debut with the New York Philharmonic under Kurt Masur at Lincoln Center. In the 2007-2008 season, Vladimir Jurowski invited him to play with the Russian National Orchestra.

Recent engagements include concerts with the Rotterdam Philharmonic, Orchestre Métropolitain de Montréal, Montreal Symphony, Atlanta Symphony, Seoul Philharmonic, Stuttgart Radio Orchestra and a tour with the London Philharmonic.

Members of the Sid Kaplan Tribute program have made a planned gift to the endowment of $10,000 or more to commemorate a particular person or event. Endowed Naming Opportunities for guest artists, musicians' chairs, concert series, educational programs or designated spaces allow donors to specify a name or tribute for ten years, twenty years or in perpetuity.

Can I organize a group for a concert?

Absolutely. With a group ticket purchase you receive discounted tickets, priority seats, personalized service and free reception space. For more information, call 412.392.4819 or visit our website at pittsburghsymphony.org/groups

What time should I arrive for concerts? You may want to arrive at least 20 minutes prior to concert start time to allow time for parking, entering the hall and finding your seat. BNY Mellon Grand Classics patrons have the opportunity to attend Concert Preludes, which begin one hour before the concert in the auditorium.

What should I wear to concerts?

There is no official dress code for events in Heinz Hall. Many patrons wear business attire, and many prefer to be more casual. Wear whatever makes you feel comfortable.

Children, approximately age six and over, are welcome at all performances with a purchased ticket. The Latecomer’s Gallery and lobby video monitors are always options for restless children.

May I take pictures? All still and video photography, or audio recording are strictly prohibited at all times.

What can I do to support the PSO? Your ticket purchase supports the PSO and we thank you! However, ticket sales only cover a portion of our operating costs. To make a tax-deductible gift to the PSO, contact our Donor Relations department at 412.392.4880 or visit us online at pittsburghsymphony.org How can I get someone from the PSO to speak at our event? The volunteers of the Speakers Bureau would like to share their passion for the PSO with the community by providing a speaker for you and your organization. If you are interested, please call 412.392.2235.
