Dear PSO Family,

We started the season with our record-setting Year of the Dragon gala, featuring Music Director Manfred Honeck leading the orchestra and superstar pianist Lang Lang. We are concluding the season with another phenomenal pianist, Yuja Wang, who will also join the Pittsburgh Symphony on its upcoming European Festivals tour.

While we were transported by Dvořák to the New World, we were also introduced to the groundbreaking compositions of Mason Bates, PSO Composer of the Year.

We celebrated the 200th birthdays of both Giuseppe Verdi and Richard Wagner and experienced the Pittsburgh Symphony’s landmark performance of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9.

This year was also filled with significant anniversaries: —The 75th anniversary of our Schooltime concert series which brings second, fourth and sixth graders to Heinz Hall. For many students, it is their first experience hearing a live orchestra.

—Our 10th anniversary performing in Wilkinsburg. Since the partnership’s inception, funds raised have helped to revitalize the Wilkinsburg School District’s music program.

PITTSBURGHSYMPHONY.ORG \ 2012-2013 SEASON

Our 2012-2013 BNY Mellon Grand Classics season has been one filled with exhilarating milestones!

—The 20th anniversary of Fiddlesticks, the PSO’s Family Concert Series. Each Saturday concert delights children and parents alike.

—Finally, in April we presented our first Music for the Spirit Festival. The week-long festival opened with “Singing City – A Concert of Thousands,” which brought together the Pittsburgh Symphony and more than 2,000 singers from 60 choirs across the region for a mesmerizing concert at the University of Pittsburgh’s Petersen Events Center.

And throughout the summer, Heinz Hall will remain busy. Please see page 18 for a listing of upcoming events.

Our work at Heinz Hall, in our schools and in the community would not be possible without your support. While our concert season is coming to a close, our fiscal year does not end until August 31. Please consider joining our donor family by making a gift to our Annual Fund. And, if you increase your gift or become a new donor between now and August 31, 2013, the impact of your gift will be doubled, thanks to a generous challenge grant from PNC and Rick and Laurie Johnson.

Thank you for making this season truly memorable.

Sincerely,

James A. Wilkinson President and CEO

TURNING THE PAGE

PITTSBURGHSYMPHONY.ORG \ 2012-2013 SEASON

After 35 seasons, Principal Bass Clarinet Richard Page retires from the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. From all of the the PSO family, we thank him for his many years with us, and wish him a euphonious retirement.

RICHARD PAGE, BIOGRAPHY

Pittsburgh-born and educated, Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra Principal Bass Clarinetist Richard Page began his musical training at the age of eight, and at thirteen began studies with former PSO Principal Clarinetist Louis Paul. After graduating from Carnegie Mellon University he served as Principal Clarinetist of the National Symphony Orchestra of El Salvador, Central America. In 1978, he was appointed by André Previn to the Bass Clarinet position with the PSO.

Richard was a founding member of both the Pittsburgh New Music Ensemble and the Pittsburgh Chamber Soloists. He currently serves as Executive Director of the Pittsburgh Chamber Music Project, an ensemble that performs throughout the Pittsburgh area and has presented concerts in New York and Vienna, Austria. The PCMP has performed numerous world premieres and has recorded a compact disc featuring the music of composer Ezra Laderman, recently released on the Albany Records label. In February of 2003, Richard gave the premiere performances of Laderman’s Concerto for Bass Clarinet and Orchestra, commissioned by the PSO.

Richard is active on the boards of two charitable organizations. Blackwood Music Scholarships awards scholarship grants to talented high school students who plan to attend music school. Concerts for Causes is an organization that produces chamber music concerts to raise funds for various charitable causes, currently the Homeless Childrens’ Education Fund.

In addition to his musical activities, Richard enjoys Argentine tango, bicycling and spending as much time as possible with his three grandchildren.

12

In 1824, Rossini moved to Paris to direct the Théâtre Italien and there became fully aware of the revolutionary artistic and political trends that were then gaining popularity. He was too closely attuned to public fashion to ignore the changing audience tastes, so he began to cast about for a libretto that would keep him abreast of the latest developments in the musical theater while solidifying his new position in Paris. Schiller’s play William Tell, based on the heroic Swiss struggle against tyranny in the 14th century, had recently created much interest when it was introduced to Paris in a French translation. Rossini decided that the drama would make a fine opera (or, at least, a saleable one), and seems to have taken special care to incorporate the emerging Romantic style into this epic work, as evidenced by its subject matter, symphonic scope and attention to dramatic and poetic content. From the summer of 1828, when word of the project first surfaced, through the following spring, when several delays were reportedly caused by prima donna incapacity (actually, Rossini was withholding the work’s premiere to press negotiations with the government over a lucrative contract for future — never realized — operas) until the premiere in August 1829, William Tell kept Parisian society abuzz. Once the opera finally reached the stage, it was hailed by critics and musicians but disappointed the public, who felt that its six-hour length was more entertainment than a single evening should decently hold. (The score was greatly truncated when it was staged in later years.) Whether the new style of the opera was one Rossini did not wish to pursue, or whether he was drained by two decades of constant work, or whether he just wanted to enjoy in leisure the fortune he had amassed, William Tell was his last opera. During the remaining 39 years of his life, he did not compose another note for the stage. The four sections of the Overture, virtually a miniature tone poem, represent dawn in the mountains, a thunderstorm, the pastoral countryside and the triumphant return of the Swiss troops.

FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN

22 minutes PROGRAM NOTES BY DR. RICHARD E. RODDA

When Haydn first arrived there, in 1791, London was one of the world’s great cities of music. In addition to considerable activity at the traditional performance sites of church and court, London boasted a rich musical life: the city had nurtured opera since well before Handel settled there in 1710; it regularly enjoyed public concerts, including the “Bach-Abel Concerts” produced from 1765 and 1782 by Johann Christian Bach (Sebastian’s youngest son) and Carl Friedrich Abel and the series run after 1786 by Johann Peter Salomon, who had enticed Haydn to visit London following the death of Prince Nicolaus Esterházy in September 1790; it kept busy a knowledgeable band of critics to report in the press on all important musical events; and it was home to a large and faithful body of discriminating patrons, both aristocratic and middle class, who eagerly supported a wide variety of worthwhile undertakings.

Haydn was swept at once into the artistic and social whirl of the capital upon his arrival. He was quickly befriended by an entire battalion of admirers from all social classes, including musicians, scholars, businessmen — even the royal family. He received an honorary doctorate from Oxford University in July 1791, had more invitations for dinners, parties, social engagements and weekends at Britain’s best town houses and country manors than he could possibly accept, gave lessons to members of some of the city’s finest families, and made so much money that, as he later told his biographer Griesinger, “My eyes popped out of my head.” The focal point for the English mania surrounding Haydn was Salomon’s series of Friday concerts at the Hanover Square Rooms, which ran from March 11th to May 16th that year, and featured a work

by Haydn at every performance. The Symphonies Nos. 95 and 96 were composed in London in 1791 and first heard at the concerts that spring.

The entire venture proved to be such a success that Haydn was easily convinced to stay for another season the following year, and to return again in 1794-1795.

For Salomon’s 1792 concerts, which ran from February 17th to May 18th, Haydn composed four new symphonies — Nos. 93, 94 (“Surprise”), 97 and 98. The Symphony No. 93 was written during the fall of 1791, and Haydn tailored it carefully to the local taste after having observed his London patrons at close range the previous spring, weaving numerous crowd-pleasing effects into the music with his peerless technical mastery.

The Symphony opens with a bold, fortissimo, unison summons from the entire ensemble immediately answered by a hushed, lyrical motive from the violins, a beginning whose effect on the audience, wrote the eminent Haydn scholar H.C. Robbins Landon, “would have been electrifying.” So memorably melodic is the main theme of the movement’s quick-tempo sonata form that it was fitted with English words by Catherine Winkworth in the 1830s as the hymn Come My Soul, Awake, ’Tis Morning. A bustling transition leads to the second theme, a legato melody supported by a delicate, music-box accompaniment (which comes delightfully close to a barnyard cackle when it is taken over by the bassoons for the flute’s repetition of the theme). Considerable drama is built up in the

development section around a tiny fragment common to both first and second themes until the music abruptly breaks off, apparently uncertain how to continue. After a few tentative attempts, oboe and violins try a bit of the second theme, but it is in the wrong key and the wrong place to begin a proper recapitulation, so the orchestra carries on with the development.

Things soon get righted, however, everyone is allowed a big breath, and the recapitulation commences according to late-18th-century formal requirements. One of Haydn’s innumerable subtle details is worth noting in the movement’s closing pages: the bassoon gets to play a suave obbligato to the second theme’s return, perhaps in atonement for its somewhat ungracious treatment the first time that melody was heard.

The Largo, another testament to Haydn’s remarkable inventiveness even after having written nearly a hundred such works over more than three decades, is a formal hybrid of rondo and variation that takes as its theme an elegant melody initiated by a solo quartet before being taken over by bassoon and strings. The episodes separating the theme’s returns, freely based on its motives, are expressive, harmonically adventurous and colored with the sonorities of the winds. This formal alternation of refrain and episode continues to what would seem to be the movement’s climax, the first time everyone in the orchestra gets to participate in the theme, but this magnificent sonority apparently so overwhelms the ensemble that it dissolves into uncertain gestures and silences. An outrageous fortissimo expostulation issued from depths of the bassoons restores resolve and moves the movement to a satisfying close. The audience at the premiere demanded the encore of both the first and second movements.

The Menuetto, with its catchy rhythms and rambunctious energy, is more rustic than courtly. The wind and drum fanfares of the central trio, which are perfectly balanced by gracious phrases from the strings, may have been Haydn’s tribute to the British love of pomp and ceremony.

The finale is largely a developmental fantasy on the motive — a leap upward followed by a quick run back down the scale — that launches the movement. The only significant contrast is provided by a passage for oboe and bassoon whose character suggests the second theme of a sonata form, though its placement and the movement’s proportions do not. This infectious movement, like the earliest ones, has several spots where it appears to get stuck only to recover with aplomb and good humor, qualities that bring to mind critic Bernard Jacobson’s pithy summation of this incomparable composer: “A lack of appreciation for Haydn is a species of the inability to enjoy the good things in life.”

“No man is perhaps a hero to his valet; but Strauss is evidently a hero to himself.” The autobiographical nature of Strauss’ Ein Heldenleben did not slip past American musicologist Philip Hale, nor has it been less than obvious to anyone else. Literary autobiography and selfportraiture (à lá Rembrandt) had been acceptable artistic genres for centuries. So why not music?

So why not Strauss? In 1898, the year of Ein Heldenleben, Strauss was the most talked-about composer in the world. This work was the seventh of his orchestral tone poems, each new arrival greeted with a flurry of international interest by press and public alike. They (Don Juan, Death and Transfiguration, Also sprach Zarathustra, et al.) were sensational works that carried programmatic music and the art of orchestration to heights that no one else, except Berlioz, had conceived. Strauss was also one of the preeminent conductors of the day, and when he composed Ein Heldenleben he was principal conductor of the Berlin Court Opera and past music director of the Berlin Philharmonic. He parlayed all these activities into an immense income, and it is very likely that he was the wealthiest composer of concert music ever. With all this, he had a right to be proud.

Early in 1898, Strauss undertook to portray a general overview of the heroic spirit in a tone poem. He painted six aspects of this spirit in Ein Heldenleben. The first three sections portray the participating characters: “The Hero” (“his pride, emotional nature, iron will, richness of imagination, inflexible and well-directed determination supplant low-spirited and sullen obstinacy” noted the modest composer); “His Adversaries” (Strauss said nothing about them — the cackling, strident music speaks for itself); and “His Beloved” (“It’s my wife I wanted to show. She is very complex, very feminine, a little perverse, a little coquettish”). The fourth section, in which the hero girds his loins to do battle against his enemies, was considered the height of modernity when it was new. Section five is an ingenious review of at least thirty snippets selected by Strauss from nine of his earlier works. The finale tells of the hero’s withdrawal from the earthly struggles to reach “perfection in contemplative contentment,” in the obscure words of the composer.

For Strauss’ appearance as guest conductor with the New York Philharmonic in 1921, Lawrence Gilman prepared the following synopsis of Ein Heldenleben, to which the composer gave his approval: “1. The Hero. We hear first the theme of the Hero, the valorous opening subject for the low strings and horns. Subsidiary themes picture different aspects of the Hero’s nature — his pride, depth of feeling, inflexibility, sensitiveness, imagination.

“2. The Hero’s Adversaries. Herein are pictured the Hero’s detractors — an envious and malicious crew, filled with all uncharitableness. The theme of the Hero appears in sad and meditative guise. But his dauntless courage soon reasserts itself, and the mocking hordes are put to rout.

“3. The Hero’s Companion. A solo violin introduces the Hero’s Beloved. She reveals herself as capricious, an inconsequent trifler, an elaborate coquette. After an earnest phrase heard again and again, the orchestra breaks into a love song of heroic sweep and passion. As the ecstasy subsides, the mocking voices of the foe are heard remotely.

“4. The Hero’s Battlefield. But suddenly the call to arms is heard. Distant fanfares (trumpets behind the scenes) summon the Hero to the conflict. The orchestra becomes a battlefield. Through the dust and uproar we are reminded of the inspiration of the Beloved, which sustains and heartens the champion. A triumphant orchestral outburst proclaims his victory.

“5. The Hero’s Works of Peace. Now begins a celebration of the Hero’s victories of peace, suggesting his spiritual evolution and achievements. We hear quotations of themes from Strauss’ earlier works: reminiscences of Death and Transfiguration, Don Quixote, Don Juan, Till Eulenspiegel, Macbeth, Also sprach Zarathustra, the music-drama Guntram, and the exquisite song Traum durch die Dämmerung (‘Dream at Twilight’).

“6. The Hero’s Retreat from the World, and Fulfillment. The tubas mutter the uncouth and sinister phrase which voices the dull contempt of the benighted adversaries. Furiously, the Hero rebels, and the orchestra rages. But his anger subsides. Over a persistent tapping of the kettledrum, the English horn sings a pastoral version of his theme. An agitated memory of storm and strife again disturbs his mood. But the solo violin reminds him of the consoling presence of the Beloved One. Peace descends upon the spirit of the Hero. The finale, majestic and serene, recalls the words of the luminous Shankara: ‘For the circling world is like a dream, crowded with desires and hates; in its own time it shines as real, but on awakening it becomes unreal.’”

In June 1953, Shostakovich confided to a friend that one of the greatest influences of his early years was Gustav Mahler. We know that Shostakovich occupied himself intensely with Mahler – the master of undertones – and Mahler’s universe of sound. I understand and interpret Shostakovich’s music within this very universe. When directly comparing his Fifth Symphony to Mahler’s First, the similarities are striking: the massive, powerful beginning of both pieces’ second dance movements with celli and double-basses or Shostakovich’s use of solo violin in the trio (played as a ländler in an almost Mahleresque-Austrian fashion with all associated traditions, some of which are admittedly very ironic and bizarre). Additionally, when listening to the end of Shostakovich’s Fifth, one may instantly recall the conclusion of Mahler’s Third: Shostakovich’s usage of timpani creates a similar effect. I am of the opinion that these timpani beats in Mahler’s Third set the pace at the ending of the finale of Shostakovich’s Fifth, and therefore provide the key to the controversial question of Shostakovich’s tempo. Most Russian conductors agree, as does Kurt Sanderling, a close friend of Shostakovich’s.

One can hardly understand Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 5, however, without taking into consideration the events following the controversial performances of the composer’s Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk. He received threatening criticism in Pravda, rumored to have been written by Stalin himself. At this point in his career, we meet a composer who brings his creative power back into the service of Soviet music “repentantly” but supposedly unbroken. Unbroken? Despite some serene and contemplative moments, I perceive this work as rather sad and gloomy. The opening expresses the highest misery and desperation. A sarcastic military march – likewise a reminder of Mahler – follows the dreary opening, giving way to dim colors that describe the power of the “party.” Ethereal moments (with harp and celesta) portray nothing but the yearning for the transcendental and spiritual; but though one often associates the ethereal with heavenly, hopeful ideals, the listener finds no such rest here: This is resignation and not liberation.

The listener encounters the center of the work in the third movement. Strictly speaking, it is a requiem, especially as the music halts, resuming with mournful woodwinds: solo oboe, clarinet and flute – one after the other – join in a lament.

Here, Shostakovich gives voice to fallen friends, those sent to the cold, barren Siberian gulag for raising their voices in “inappropriate” ways. This isolation, composed as oppressive silence and underscored by tremoloing violins (which I actually put into a cold white ponticello, symbolizing the shivering Siberian iciness), can hardly be surpassed. For me, this is the climax!

At the end of 1874, Tchaikovsky began a piano concerto with the hope of having a success great enough to allow him to leave his irksome teaching post at the Moscow Conservatory. By late December, he had largely sketched the work, and he sought the advice of Nikolai Rubinstein, Director of the Moscow Conservatory and a virtuoso pianist. Tchaikovsky reported the interview in a letter: “On Christmas Eve 1874, Nikolai asked me to play the Concerto in a classroom of the Conservatory. We agreed to it. I played through the work. There burst forth from Rubinstein’s mouth a mighty torrent of words. It appeared that my Concerto was utterly worthless, absolutely unplayable; the piece as a whole was bad, trivial, vulgar.”

Tchaikovsky was furious, and he stormed out of the classroom. He made only one change in the score: he obliterated the name of the original dedicatee — Nikolai Rubinstein — and substituted that of the stellar pianist Hans von Bülow, who was performing Tchaikovsky’s piano pieces across Europe. Bülow gladly accepted the dedication and he wrote a letter of praise to Tchaikovsky as soon as he received the score: “The ideas are so original, so powerful; the details are so interesting, and though there are many of them they do not impair the clarity and unity of the work.

The form is so mature, so ripe and distinguished in style; intention and labor are everywhere concealed. I would weary you if I were to enumerate all the characteristics of your work, characteristics which compel me to congratulate equally the composer and those who are destined to enjoy it.”

After the scathing criticism from Rubinstein, Tchaikovsky was delighted to receive such a response, and he was further gratified when Bülow asked to program the premiere on his upcoming American tour.

The Concerto created such a sensation when it was first heard, in Boston on October 25, 1875, that Bülow played it on 139 of his 172 concerts that season. (Remarkably, Tchaikovsky’s Second Piano Concerto was also premiered in this country, by Madeleine Schiller and the New York Philharmonic Society conducted by Theodore Thomas on November 12, 1881.) Such a success must at first have puzzled Rubinstein, but eventually he and Tchaikovsky reconciled their differences over the work.

Tchaikovsky incorporated some of his suggestions in the 1889 revision, and Rubinstein not only accepted the Concerto, but eventually made it one of the staples of his performing repertory. During the next four years, when Tchaikovsky wrote Swan Lake, the Rococo Variations, the Third and Fourth Symphonies, the Violin Concerto, and, in 1877, met his benefactress Nadezhda von Meck, he was not only successful enough to leave his teaching job to devote himself entirely to composition, but he also became recognized as one of the greatest composers of his day.

The Concerto opens with the familiar theme of the introduction, a sweeping melody nobly sung by violins and cellos above thunderous chords from the piano. Following a decrescendo and a pause, the piano

PROGRAM NOTES \ 2012-2013 SEASON

presents the snapping main theme. (Tchaikovsky said that this curious melody was inspired by a tune he heard sung by a blind beggar at a street fair.) The clarinet announces the lyrical, bittersweet second theme. The simplicity of the second movement’s three-part structure (A–B–A) is augured by the purity of its opening — a languid melody in the solo flute. The center of the movement is of very different character, with a quick tempo and a swift, balletic melody. The languid theme and moonlit mood of the first section return to round out the movement. The crisp rhythmic motive presented immediately at the beginning of the finale and then spun into a complete theme by the soloist dominates much of the movement. In the theme’s vigorous full-orchestra guise, it has much of the spirit of a robust Cossack dance. To balance the vigor of this music, Tchaikovsky introduced a romantic melody first entrusted to the violins. The dancing Cossacks repeatedly advance upon this bit of tenderness, which shows a hardy determination.

The two themes contend, but the flying Cossacks have the last word.

“COMPOSER REGAINS HIS PLACE IN SOVIET,” read a headline of The New York Times on November 22, 1937. “Dmitri Shostakovich, who fell from grace two years ago, on the way to rehabilitation. His new symphony hailed. Audience cheers as Leningrad Philharmonic presents work.”

The background of Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony is well known.

His career began before he was twenty with the cheeky First Symphony; he was immediately acclaimed the brightest star in the Soviet musical firmament. In the years that followed, he produced music with amazing celerity, and even managed to catch Stalin’s attention, especially with his film scores. (Stalin was convinced that film was one of the most powerful weapons in his propaganda arsenal.) The mid-1930s, however, the years during which Stalin tightened his iron grip on Russia, saw a repression of the artistic freedom of Shostakovich’s early years, and some of his newer works were assailed with the damning criticism of “formalism.”

The opera The Nose, the ballets The Golden Age and The Bolt and even the blatantly jingoistic Second and Third Symphonies were the main targets. The storm broke in an article in Pravda on January 28, 1936 entitled “Muddle Instead of Music.” The “muddle” was the opera Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District, a lurid tale of adultery and murder in the provinces that is one of Shostakovich’s most powerful creations. The nature of the criticism may be judged from the title of the article, though no reason was given why it did not appear until two full years after Lady Macbeth had been premiered in January 1934, and been running successfully for the entire interval. The denunciation, though it urged Shostakovich to reform his compositional ways, also encouraged him to continue his work, but in a manner consistent with Soviet ideals.

As “A Soviet composer’s reply to just criticism” — a phrase attributed 25

to Shostakovich by the press, though it does not appear in the score — the Fifth Symphony was created and presented to an enthusiastic public. Shostakovich had apparently returned to the Soviet fold, and in such manner that in 1940 he was awarded the Stalin Prize, the highest achievement then possible for a Russian composer.

Since the appearance in 1979 of Shostakovich’s purported memoirs (Testimony), however, the above tale needs reconsideration. The prevailing interpretation of the Fifth Symphony had been that generally it represented triumph through struggle, à la Beethoven’s Fifth and Ninth Symphonies, and specifically the composer’s renunciation of his backslidden ideological ways.

Only three months after the premiere, Shostakovich wrote in an official publication, “The theme of my Symphony is the stabilization of the personality. In the center of this composition — conceived lyrically from beginning to end — I saw a man with all his experiences. The Finale resolves the tragically tense impulses of the earlier movements into optimism and joy of living.” With that statement, the Soviet authorities were given exactly the explanation that they demanded, and Shostakovich was “rehabilitated.”

The story seemed so pat that it went unquestioned for years. However, some re-thinking after Shostakovich’s death led Ray Blokker, in his book on the composer’s symphonies, to conclude, “The Fifth was a challenge rather than an apology, despite the way in which the state received it.” Why, for example, did Shostakovich not write a patriotic cantata loaded with folk songs and nationalistic bombast if his sole aim were his return to grace? Why an abstract, supranational work like a symphony? Was there some hidden power or message in the music that could speak to the individual heart while remaining beyond the censor’s wrath?

In Testimony, Shostakovich, bitter, ill, disillusioned, gave a ringing affirmative answer to this last question: “I think it is clear to everyone what happens in the [finale of the] Fifth Symphony.

The rejoicing is forced, created under threat, as in Boris Godunov. It’s as if someone were beating you with a stick and saying, ‘Your business is rejoicing, your business is rejoicing,’ and you rise, shaky, and go marching off muttering, ‘Our business is rejoicing, our business is rejoicing.’ What kind of apotheosis is that? You have to be a complete oaf not to hear that.... People who came to the premiere of the Fifth in the best of moods wept.” One of his greatest fears when the Fifth Symphony was new was that his true intention — the deep, soulburning irony of the work — was so obvious that someone would inform on him. No one did.

Stravinsky once said that Soviet composers were good, but that they could not afford the luxury of integrity. He seems to have been wrong about Shostakovich.

Shostakovich’s thoughts about the Fifth Symphony bear directly on the listener’s perception of the work. The key to the meaning of the score, its finale, can no longer be seen as a transcendence or negation of the tragic forces invoked in the earlier movements, especially the third, but becomes an affirmation of them. The boisterous trumpets and drums are not those of a festival or a peasant dance, but of a forced death march — Stalin’s “exterminations” outnumbered those of Hitler. The Fifth Symphony arose not from Shostakovich’s glorification of his nation. It arose from his pity.

The Fifth Symphony is cast in the traditional four movements. The sonata form of the first movement begins with a stabbing theme in close imitation. A group of complementary ideas is presented before the tempo freshens for the second theme, an expansive melody of large intervals whose shape bears some resemblance to that of the main theme. The sinister sound of unison horns in their lowest register marks the start of the development section. The intensity of this section builds quickly to a powerful, almost demonic march. The recapitulation rockets forth from a series of fierce brass chords leading to a huge, sustained climax after which the music’s energy subsides to allow the second theme to be heard in a gentle setting assigned to flute and horn. Quiet intensity pervades until the movement ends with ethereal scales in the celesta.

26

The Symphony’s scherzo comes second to act as a buffer between the emotional weight of the first and third movements. It has much of the sardonic humor that Shostakovich displayed in such movements throughout his life, but it also bears an unmistakable debt to the music of Gustav Mahler, especially in the passage in the central trio for solo violin, which closely resembles an important sonority in Mahler’s Fourth Symphony.

The Symphony’s greatest pathos is reserved for the third movement. It is dominated by string sonorities, with woodwinds and percussion providing limited timbral contrast. The heavy brass are silent. This movement is best heard not in a specific formal context but as an extended soliloquy embracing the most deeply felt emotions. For much of its length, the expression is subdued, but twice the music gathers enough strength to hurl forth a mighty, despairing cry. As in the first movement, the disembodied sound of the celesta (reinforced here by the harp) closes this gripping Largo, which the eminent Russian-American conductor Sergei Koussevitzky thought to be the greatest symphonic slow movement since Beethoven.

The finale is divided into three large sections, determined as much by moods as by themes. The outer sections are boisterous and extroverted, the central one, dark-hued and premonitory. The robust scoring and vigorous marching motion of the beginning and end are deeply indebted to the Russian tradition of such works as Tchaikovsky’s Second and Fourth Symphonies. Whether the mood of rough vigor of this framing music or the tragedy of the central section stays longer in the mind is a matter listeners must determine for themselves.

The delicate formal balance Shostakovich here achieved could be tipped in either direction depending on the experience the individual brings to it. Only great masterworks can simultaneously be both so personal and so universal.

/// MANFRED HONECK Manfred Honeck was born in Austria and studied music at the Academy of Music in Vienna. An accomplished violinist and violist, he spent more than ten years as a member of the Vienna Philharmonic and the Vienna State Opera Orchestra. It is this experience that has heavily influenced his conducting and has helped give it a distinctive stamp.

Honeck was appointed the ninth Music Director of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra in January 2007, and began his tenure at the start of the 2008-2009 season. After a first extension in 2009, his contract was extended for the second time in February 2012, now through the 2019-2020 season. Following their successful European Tour in 2010 and the European Festival Tour 2011 with appearances at the major music festivals, such as BBC Proms, Lucerne, Grafenegg, Rheingau, SchleswigHolstein and Musikfest Berlin, Honeck and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra returned to Europe in October-November 2012. The tour took them to Barcelona, Madrid, Paris, Luxembourg and Cologne, Frankfurt and Stuttgart in Germany. During a week-long residency at the Musikverein in Vienna, the orchestra performed four concerts. Honeck’s successful work in Pittsburgh is captured on CD by the Japanese label Exton. So far, Mahler’s Symphonies Nos. 1, 3, 4 and 5, Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5 and Richard Strauss’ Ein Heldenleben have been released to critical acclaim. Their recording of Mahler’s Symphony No. 4 won a 2012 International Classical Music Award (ICMA).

From 2007 to 2011, Honeck was Music Director of the Staatsoper Stuttgart, where he conducted premieres including Berlioz’s Les Troyens, Mozart’s Idomeneo, Verdi’s Aida, Richard Strauss’s Rosenkavalier, Poulenc’s Dialogues des Carmélites and Wagner’s Lohengrin and Parsifal, as well as numerous symphonic concerts. His operatic guest appearances include Semperoper Dresden, Komische Oper Berlin, Théâtre de la Monnaie in Brussels, Royal Opera of Copenhagen, the White Nights Festival in St. Petersburg and the Salzburg Festival.

He commenced his career as conductor of Vienna’s Jeunesse Orchestra, which he co-founded, and as assistant to Claudio Ab28

bado at the Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra in Vienna. Subsequently, he was engaged by the Zurich Opera House, where he was bestowed the prestigious European Conductor’s Award in 1993. In 1996, Honeck began a three-year stint as one of three main conductors of the MDR Symphony Orchestra Leipzig and in 1997, he served as Music Director at the Norwegian National Opera in Oslo for a year. A highly successful tour of Europe with the Oslo Philharmonic marked the beginning of a close collaboration with this orchestra which consequently appointed him Principal Guest Conductor, a post he held for several years. From 2000 to 2006, he was Music Director of the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra Stockholm and served as Principal Guest Conductor of the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra from 2008 to 2011, a position he will resume from 2013 to 2016.

As a guest conductor, Honeck has worked with major orchestras, such as the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, Staatskapelle Dresden, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Orchestre de Paris, Israel Philharmonic Orchestra and the Vienna Philharmonic and in the U.S. with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, National Symphony Orchestra Washington and Boston Symphony Orchestra. He is also a regular guest at the Verbier Festival.

Guest engagements of the 2012-2013 season include concerts at his earlier places of activity in Stockholm and Prague, as well as appearances with other prestigious orchestras, including Bamberg Symphony, Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, Accademia di Santa Cecilia Rome, the New York Philharmonic and the Cleveland Orchestra and his debut with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra.

In 2010, Honeck was awarded an honorary doctorate from St. Vincent College in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. Apart from his numerous tasks as conductor, he has been Artistic Director of the “International Concerts Wolfegg” in Germany for more than 15 years.

BIOGRAPHY \ 2012-2013 SEASON

/// YUJA WANG Twenty-six-year-old pianist Yuja Wang is widely recognized as one of the most important artists of her generation. Regularly lauded for her controlled, prodigious technique, Yuja has been praised for her authority over the most complex technical demands of the repertoire, the depth of her musical insight, as well as her fresh interpretations and charismatic stage presence.

Yuja is an exclusive recording artist for Deutsche Grammophon. Following her debut recording, Sonatas & Etudes, which was released in the spring of 2009, Gramophone magazine named Yuja the Classic FM 2009 Young Artist of the Year. For her second recording in 2011, Transformation, Yuja received an Echo Klassik award as “Young Artist of the Year.” Yuja next collaborated with Maestro Claudio Abbado and the Mahler Chamber Orchestra to record her first concerto album featuring Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini and his Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor which was nominated for a Grammy as “Best Classical Instrumental Solo.” Her most recent record, Fantasia, is a collection of encore pieces by Albéniz, Bach, Chopin, Rachmaninov, Saint-Saëns, Scriabin and others.

In the years since her 2005 debut with the National Arts Center Orchestra led by Pinchas Zukerman, Yuja has already performed with many of the world’s most prestigious orchestras including those of Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Washington, in the U.S., and abroad with the Berlin Staatskapelle, China Philharmonic, Filarmonica della Scala, Israel Philharmonic, London Philharmonic, Orchestre de Paris, Orquesta Nacional España, Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra, the NHK Symphony in Tokyo, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Orchestra Mozart and Santa Cecilia, among others.

In 2006, Yuja made her New York Philharmonic debut at the Bravo! Vail Music Festival and performed with the orchestra the following season under Lorin Maazel during the Philharmonic’s Japan/Korea visit. In 2008 she toured the United States with the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields led by Sir Neville Marriner, and in 2009 Yuja performed as soloist 30

with the You Tube Symphony Orchestra led by Michael Tilson Thomas at Carnegie Hall. That summer Yuja joined Maestro Claudio Abbado at the Lucerne Music Festival performing and recording Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 3, and went on to perform with the Lucerne Festival Orchestra and Abbado on tour in China.

Yuja regularly gives recitals in major cities throughout Asia, Europe and North America.

She is a dedicated performer of chamber music appearing at summer festivals throughout the world including annual appearances at Switzerland’s Verbier Festival. In March 2011, Yuja performed in a three-concert chamber series at the Salle Pleyel in Paris with principal players from the Berlin Philharmonic. She made her Carnegie Hall recital debut at Stern Hall in October 2011.

Many of the world’s esteemed conductors have collaborated with Yuja including Abbado, Daniel Barenboim, Gustavo Dudamel, Charles Dutoit, Daniele Gatti, Valery Gergiev, Mikko Franck, Manfred Honeck, Pietari Inkinen, Lorin Maazel, Zubin Mehta, Kurt Masur, Antonio Pappano, Yuri Temirkanov and Michael Tilson Thomas.

This season Yuja returned to the Israel Philharmonic to work with Zubin Mehta, followed by a tour of the U.S. that included performances at Carnegie and Disney halls.

She then launched into a three-week tour of Asia with the San Francisco Symphony and Tilson Thomas, traveling to Macau, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan. Yuja again joined the Berlin Philharmonic’s principal players, this time with a series of all-Brahms concerts at Salle Pleyel in Paris. In spring 2013, she will be presented by the Berlin Philharmonic in recital at the Philharmonie, and returns to Carnegie Hall in both recital and a concerto appearance with the San Francisco Symphony. Her season includes a recital tour of Japan where she makes her Suntory Hall debut.

At a young age, Yuja entered the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing to study under Ling Yuan and Zhou Guangren. From 1999 to 2001 she participated in the Morningside Music summer program at Calgary’s Mount Royal College, an artistic and cultural

exchange program between Canada and China, and began studying with Hung-Kuan Chen and Tema Blackstone at the Mount Royal College Conservatory. Yuja then moved to the U.S. to study with Gary Graffman at The Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, where she graduated in 2008. In 2006, she received the

Gilmore Young Artist Award, and in 2010 was awarded the prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant. Yuja is a Steinway Artist.

LEGACY OF EXCELLENCE

In addition to income from the Annual Fund, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra is dependent on a robust Endowment to assure its financial stability. Gifts from Legacy of Excellence programs are directed to the endowment to provide for the PSO’s future. The Steinberg Society honors donors who have advised the PSO in writing that they have made a provision for the orchestra through their estate plans. 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. For additional information, please call Jan Fleisher at 412.392.3320.
