European Residency Tour october 25 - November 10

The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, led by Music Director Manfred Honeck, just returned from a successful 12-concert tour of Europe, which included a week-long residency at the prestigious Musikverein in Vienna. The tour, from October 25 to November 10, took Honeck and the PSO to Barcelona, Madrid, Vienna, Paris, Luxembourg, and Cologne, Frankfurt and Stuttgart.

The PSO also continued its partnership, now entering its seventh year, with the Pittsburgh Regional Alliance (PRA) to promote the Pittsburgh region in Europe. BNY Mellon is a supporting sponsor of the 2012 European Residency Tour. PSO international touring is made possible, in part, by the Henry L. Hillman Endowment for International Performances.

MANFRED HONECK, MUSIC DIRECTOR

Violist Marylène Gingras-Roy and cellist Mikhail Istomin backstage before the concert in Madrid.

The PSO opened at the Palau de la Música Catalana, Barcelona.

The PSO at the Musikverein in Vienna, where the orchestra performed four concerts.

Violist Penny Andreson Brill and cellist Adam Liu performed for patients and staff at St. Anna Children’s Hospital in 4 Vienna as part of the PSO’s Music and Wellness Program.

The Arc de Triomphe.

“Color was also the determining element in Honeck’s interpretation of Dvořák’s ‘Symphony from the New World’: the brass was brilliant in the first and last movements, a real joy, and the strings presented themselves in finely gradated color shading.

The alternating mix of the two instrumental sections created a real thrill.”

-XAVIER PUJOL, EL PAÍS

-VON HELMAR DUMBS, DIE PRESSE

“With over a hundred musicians on stage, and masterly conducted by Austrian-born Manfred Honeck, the orchestra discovered the footprints of an identity shared by the big US orchestras: robust sound supported by the extremely powerful metal and percussion sections and outstanding ‘piano’ in the most lyrical moments by the not less stellar string section. This is music with capital letters, of the kind that communicates a flood of emotion and greatness. “

“A brilliantly compact orchestra: in the very opening piece you experience at the Wiener Musikverein in how disciplined and controlled a fashion the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra can unleash.”

-CÉSAR LOPEZ ROSELL, EL PERIODICO, BARCELONA

-LJUBIŠA TOŠIC, DER STANDARD

-LJUBIŠA TOŠIC, DER STANDARD

“It was the second of two evenings with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra at the Wiener Musikverein, and it was certainly a concert unencumbered by the ordinary.”

“The tremendous finale did have a truly American imprint, with part of the brass section standing up and with every single musician playing with brilliance, strength and consistency of the best kind.”

2012 EUROPEAN RESIDENCY TOUR \ 2012-2013 SEASON

“Honeck’s conducting abounded in extreme dynamic contrast, with deafening crests that transformed the Palau into a pressure cooker where there was not enough air for the sound to expand, and with delicate pianissimi that capitalised on the proximity – intimacy, even – the Palau favoured between the musicians and the audience.”

-JOSÉ LUIS VIDAL, EL MUNDO

Music Director Manfred Honeck conducted the PSO in Stuttgart.

Pre-concert at the Philharmonie in Cologne, Germany

The PSO’s final concert of the tour took place in Luxembourg.

PROGRAM NOTES BY DR. RICHARD E. RODDA

16

The year 1809 was a difficult one for Vienna and for Beethoven. In May, Napoleon invaded the city with enough firepower to send the residents scurrying and Beethoven into the basement of his brother’s house. The bombardment was close enough that he covered his sensitive ears with pillows to protect them from the concussion of the blasts. On July 29th, he wrote to the publisher Breitkopf und Härtel, “We have passed through a great deal of misery. I tell you that since May 4th, I have brought into the world little that is connected; only here and there a fragment. The whole course of events has affected me body and soul.... What a disturbing, wild life around me; nothing but drums, cannons, men, misery of all sorts.” Austria’s finances were in shambles, and the annual stipend Beethoven had been promised by several noblemen who supported his work was considerably reduced in value, placing him in a precarious pecuniary predicament. As a sturdy tree can root in flinty soil, however, a great musical work grew from those unpromising circumstances — by the end of that very year, 1809, Beethoven had completed his “Emperor” Concerto.

The sobriquet “Emperor” attached itself to the E-flat Concerto very early, though it was not of Beethoven’s doing. If anything, he would have objected to the name. “Emperor” equaled “Napoleon” for Beethoven, as for most Europeans of the time, and anyone familiar with the story of the “Eroica” Symphony will remember how that particular ruler had tumbled from the great composer’s esteem. “This man will trample the rights of men underfoot and become a greater tyrant than any other,” he rumbled to his young friend and pupil Ferdinand Ries. The Concerto’s name may have been tacked on by an early publisher or pianist because of the grand character of the work, or it may have originated with the purported exclamation during the premiere by a French officer at one particularly noble passage, “C’est l’Empereur!” The most likely explanation, however, is that the Viennese premiere took place at a celebration of the Emperor’s birthday.

The Concerto opens with broad chords for orchestra answered by piano before the main theme is announced by the violins. The following orchestral tutti embraces a rich variety of secondary themes leading to a repeat of all the material by the piano accompanied by the orchestra. A development ensues with “the fury of a hail-storm,” wrote Sir Donald Tovey. A recapitulation of the themes and a cadenza close the movement. The Adagio begins with a chorale for strings. Sir George Grove dubbed this movement a sequence of “quasi-variations,” with the piano providing a coruscating filigree above the orchestral accompaniment. This Adagio leads directly into the finale, a vast rondo with sonata elements.

“A Night in Venice” ultimately proved to be one of Strauss’ most popular stage works, but it had a rocky start. He was eager to follow the success of Der lustige Krieg (“The Merry War”) in 1881 with another stage work, and pressed his librettists for Krieg, Camillo Walzel (nom de plume: F. Zell) and Richard Genée, for another book, so they cobbled an 1870 French comedy, Le Château-Trompette by Jules Cormon and Michel Carré, into a risqué and improbable story involving masked balls, switched identities and imperiled fidelity set in Venice during Carnival. “Zell” and Genée sent Strauss the lyrics for the songs (but only barest outline of the plot), and he proceeded to write one of his luscious scores around them. The premiere was set for October 1883, not in Vienna, however, but at the Friedrich-Wilhelmstädtisches Theater in Berlin. (Lili, Strauss’ second wife, had just left him to move in with Franz Steiner, director of the Theater-an-der-Wien, for which eight of his nine earlier operettas had been written.) When the collaborators assembled in Berlin for rehearsals, Strauss was aghast at what the librettists had wrought. “The book … is a scatterbrained, bombastic affair without a trace of action,” he complained. “I never saw the dialogue, only the words of the songs…

At the last rehearsals, where I discovered the whole story, I was simply horrified. No genuine feeling, no truth, no sense, nothing but tomfoolery.” Critics and audience at the opening, on October 3, 1883, agreed, though they did have some fun throughout the evening making howls and catcalls inspired by the tenor intoning the irresistible melody of the Lagoon Waltz to the remarkable line, “By night all cats look grey, and fondly sing ‘meow’ ...” The Viennese press sent reports of the Berlin debacle to their home papers, and major repairs were hastily made to plot and dialogue during the six days before the first performance in the composer’s hometown. The revisions worked at least well enough not to distract from Strauss’ score, and “A Night in Venice” became a hit in Vienna, playing (at the Theater-an-der-Wien) for 44 consecutive nights; the operetta was staged in New York just six months later. The show was revised extensively and frequently for subsequent productions, but the version that has proven to be the most successful (and durable) was done by screenwriter Ernst Marischka and composer Erich Wolfgang Korngold for a revival at the Theater-an-der-Wien in 1923.

The Overture is a delightful potpourri of the operetta’s most enchanting melodies, including some fine marches and polkas as well as the lighter-than-air Lagoon Waltz.

Papa Johann Strauss tried to discourage his sons from following him into the music business, but only Josef, the second-born, initially took his advice. Though he did not join the military as his father wished, Josef did train as an engineer and architect and started a promising career in those fields. Older brother Johann, however, was working himself into a nervous exhaustion with his feverish activity with the Strauss Orchestra at the time — he came home late one night and collapsed at his mother’s feet. Young Eduard was only eighteen, so the sole choice seemed to be Josef. He was brought into the family discussion and at first refused to take over, pleading lack of training and ability, the duties of another occupation, and an awkward and unattractive personal appearance. Finally his objections were overcome when Johann, from his sickbed, told him, “You are the most talented of us all.” Josef acquiesced, and, after some lessons in music theory and violin, he made his debut as conductor of the Strauss Orchestra on July 23, 1853. For that initial appearance, he wrote his first set of waltzes called “Die Ersten und die Letzten” (“The First and the Last”). Hardly the last. He found a real talent for composition, and wrote some 283 works, including 222 waltzes, during the remaining seventeen years of his life.

Strauss was trained as an engineer, and his first-hand knowledge of water works was reflected in the delightfully ticking polka française Moulinet (“Little Mill”) of 1858.

The Strausses were as adept at marketing as they were at music, and they seldom let an opportunity pass to capitalize on the social life of Vienna in their performance engagements or their compositions. When the Vienna Skating Club was founded in 1867 and soon thereafter began producing the gala ball that was virtually mandatory for every club, organization or association in the city, usually during the winter Carnival season, the Strauss family was quick to offer the services of their orchestras to provide the musical entertainment. For the Skating Club’s ball in February 1869, Josef Strauss composed his exhilarating “fast polka” Eislauf (“Ice Skating”).

PROGRAM NOTES BY DR. RICHARD E. RODDA

“On the Beautiful Blue Danube” almost sank beneath the waves at its launching. Johann Herbeck, director of the Vienna Men’s Chorus, asked Strauss if he could provide a new piece for his ensemble, and Strauss responded with a melody inspired by a line from a poem of Karl Isidor Beck: “On the Danube, on the beautiful, blue Danube.” Herbeck assigned Josef Weyl, a police clerk who sang in the chorus and a poet-manqué, to concoct some verses to fit Strauss’ exquisite melody.

“Vienna, be gay! And what for, pray? The light of the arc! Here it’s still dark!” was the best that Weyl could do. (Hans Fantel suggested that this doggerel may have been prompted by the carbon-electrode lights just beginning to sprout on Vienna’s street corners.) The press notices of this new choral number’s premiere on February 15, 1867 were not unkind, but Strauss judged the whole thing a marginal fiasco, and tucked “The Blue Danube” in his desk. Later that year, he was invited to take part in the International Exhibition that Napoleon III was staging in honor of himself in Paris. His music proved so successful in the French capital that he dusted off “On the Beautiful Blue Danube” and displayed it to the delirious Parisians. Within weeks, demand for the work had spread across the western world, and “On the Beautiful Blue Danube” has since come to be regarded as the quintessential expression of the Viennese waltz.

In Das Land des Lächelns, Countess Lisa and the Chinese Prince SouChong fall in love during his visit to Vienna, and they return to his native land when he is called home to take up the position of prime minister.

According to custom, Sou-Chong must take four wives, but he assures Lisa that she is his only true love in the magnificent aria Dein ist mein ganzes Herz. The operetta reaches a melancholy close when insurmountable cultural differences between European life and this land where feelings are hidden behind a polite smile drive the lovers apart and Lisa back to Vienna.

You are my heart’s delight, And where you are I long to be!

You make my darkness bright When like a star you shine on me!

Shine, then, my whole night through, Your light divine bids me hope a-new That dreams of mine may perchance come true And I shall hear you whisper: “I love you!”

In dreams, when night is falling, I seem to hear you calling!

For you have cast a net around me, And ‘neath a magic spell have bound me Yours, yours alone!

How wondrous fair is your beautiful hair!

Bright as the summer skies Is the light in your eyes!

Soft as the turtle dove’s Is the voice of my love!

You are my heart’s delight, And where you are I long to be!

You make my darkness bright When like a star you shine on me!

Shine, then, my whole night through, Your light divine bids me hope a-new That dreams of mine may perchance come true And I shall hear you whisper: “I love you!”

Lehár’s Der Zarewitsch was based a play by the Polish actress, playwright and critic Gabriele Zapolska about the life of Alexei, son of Peter the Great, who fled from Russia to Italy with his beloved only to become suspected of plotting against his father and summoned home, where he was imprisoned and sentenced to death. The operetta’s libretto,

by Heinz Reichert and Béla Jenbach, retained most of Zapolska’s plot but omitted Alexei’s tragic end. In the operetta, the Tsarevich, Russia’s Crown Prince, suffers great loneliness because of his professed lack of interest in women. His uncle, the Grand Duke, concerned about the young man’s ability to provide a successor for the royal line, arranges with Sonja, a dancer in a Cossack troupe, to try to overcome his antipathy. The Duke’s plan succeeds and the lovers escape to Naples. When the Tsarevich learns of his father’s death, however, he realizes that he must return to St. Petersburg to assume his duties. Marriage to a commoner such as Sonja is now impossible for him. They part, heartbroken.

The Czarevich sings the poignant Wolgalied (“Volga Song”) at his first appearance, expressing his own sorrow by telling of a soldier stationed on the great river who has lost his love.

Wolgalied (“Volga Song”) from Der Zarewitsch (“The Czarevich”)

Alone! Always alone!

Lonely, as ever, The prime of life is slipping past, The die of loneliness is cast, My whole life here is grey and drear, With nobody to share my heart.

A soldier stands guard on the Volga’s side, He keeps his watch on the river wide.

The night is dark and full of fear; No friendly stars or moonlight here.

Silent is the land around, Not a shred of comfort has he found, And his heart cries out in his loneliness; As he scans the wintry sky, Hear him softly sigh: “Have you forgotten me, Lord up above?

I stand here, forsaken by all I love.

Hear me, oh, hear me and answer my plea; Send an angel to earth to comfort me.

Hear me, oh, hear me and answer my cry; Send an angel to me before I die.”

Eduard Strauss, the youngest son of Johann Strauss, Sr. and ten years Johann II’s junior, was intended for a career in the Austrian consular service, but he was drawn into the family’s music business when his older brother cut down the number of his concert appearances. Eduard made his debut as conductor and composer in Vienna on April 6, 1862, and toured extensively throughout Europe, Russia and the United States for the next 40 years. He wrote some 250 waltzes and polkas.

The Paris World’s Fair of 1878 was both a celebration of the country’s recovery from the debacle of the Franco-Prussian War eight years before and a showcase of fine arts, manufactures and technology from 35 nations (Germany refused to participate) — the completed head of Bartholdi’s Statue of Liberty was displayed before it was shipped to New York, carbon arc lightning was installed for the first time in the city along the Avenue de l’Opera and throughout the fair’s 66 acres, the immense main exhibition building was a marvel of modern ironwork (Gustave Eiffel gained experience by designing its entrances that he put to good use in building his preposterously tall tower for the World’s Fair in Paris eleven years later), and Victor Hugo chaired a Congress for the Protection of Literary Property that eventually led to the international copyright laws. Among the new technological wonders on display from America were Thomas Edison’s phonograph and Alexander Graham Bell’s telephone, for which Bell received the fair’s Grand Prize and a street named in his honor in suburban Marne-la-Vallée. For the appearances of the Strauss orchestra at the fair, Eduard composed Telefon-Polka in the style of the graceful polka française.

HENRY MANCINI

“Moon River” from Breakfast at Tiffany’s Henry Mancini, born in Cleveland in 1924 and raised in Pittsburgh, studied briefly at Juilliard before being drafted into the Air Force in Cleveland, Ohio; died 14 1943. After the war, he worked as a free-lance arranger and composer for dance bands, nightclub acts and radio in Los Angeles and studied June 1994 in Beverly Hills, composition privately with Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco, Ernst Krenek California and Albert Sendrey. In 1952, Mancini joined the music staff of Universal Pictures, and received his first Academy Award nomination the followTHESE PERFORMANCES ing year for The Glenn Miller Story. After scoring Orson Welles’ Touch MARK THE PSO CLASSICAL of Evil for Universal in 1958, Mancini went out on his own, taking as SUBSCRIPTION PREMIERE one of his first projects a new television mystery series titled Peter Gunn, the creation of an ambitious young director named Blake Edwards.

/// 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 or Musikfest Berlin, Honeck and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra returned to Europe in October-November 2012. This year’s 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 has 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 Ab26

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

/// YEFIM BRONFMAN Yefim Bronfman is widely regarded as one of the most talented virtuoso pianists performing today. His commanding technique and exceptional lyrical gifts have won him consistent critical acclaim and enthusiastic audiences worldwide, whether for his solo recitals, his prestigious orchestral engagements or his rapidly growing catalogue of recordings.

Bronfman’s 2012-2013 season begins early with concerts with the Berlin Philharmonic conducted by Sir Simon Rattle in Berlin, Salzburg and the London Proms followed by the Tonhalle Orchestra, Zurich with David Zinman and London’s Philharmonia conducted

by Tugan Sokhiev. A year-long residency with the Bayerischer Rundfunk Orchestra and long time collaborator Mariss Jansons begins in the fall and encompasses orchestral and chamber music in a broad range of repertoire. A return to Salzburg’s Easter Festival with the Dresden Staatskapelle and Christian Thielemann is planned for the spring followed by appearances with the Vienna Philharmonic and Michael Tilson Thomas in Vienna and London, subscription concerts in Spain and Germany and a spring tour with Ensemble Wien-Berlin.

In the United States, he studied at The Juilliard School, Marlboro and the Curtis Institute, and with Rudolf Firkusny, Leon Fleisher and Rudolf Serkin.

Bronfman became an American citizen in July 1989. He last appeared with the PSO in 29

/// GREGG BAKER A Baritone of imposing voice and stature, Gregg Baker continues to make an indelible mark on the world of Opera Theater. Since his opera debut at the Metropolitan Opera in 1985, he has performed leading roles at The Vienna Staatsoper, Arena di Verona, Glyndebourne Festival Opera, Hamburg Opera, New Israeli Opera, Stuttgart Opera, Frankfurt Opera, Vancouver Opera, Baden-Baden Opera, Scottish National Opera, Michigan Opera Theatre, Opera Company of Philadelphia, Houston Grand Opera, Greater Miami Opera, Michigan Opera Theatre, and the Berkshire Opera.

The past two seasons held important role debuts for Baker: title roles in Verdi’s Macbeth and Rigoletto. Opera Now said, “As Macbeth, he revealed a real affinity for Verdi, his glowing voice strong and seamless throughout its registers.” And, The Philadelphia Inquirer agreed, “Baker’s commanding voice and presence made him a viable Macbeth in a world that had few.” The Times Union of Albany, New York, honored his Rigoletto, “In the title role of court jester who is cursed and double cursed, baritone Baker was a commanding powerhouse.” This past season Baker appeared as Macbeth with Memphis Opera opposite Marquita Lister. At the Spoleto Festival USA, he appeared in Armistad as Cinque. This summer he appeared at the Cinncinati Pops and shared the stage with Roberta Laws. This fall he performs at The New Jersey State Opera Gala. He returns to Detroit’s Michigan Opera production of Margaret Garner. Later this coming season he is in San Francisco for their Porgy and Bess production as Crown staged

by Francesca Zambello.

A successful veteran of Broadway and a Lawrence Olivier Award nominee, Baker discovered his gift for and love of opera while performing the role of Crown in Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess. The Metropolitan Opera heard his performance in the Radio City Music Hall production and engaged him immediately for their production of the opera. He has since returned to the Metropolitan Opera in the roles of High Priest in Saint-Saëns’ Samson

et Dalila, Amonasro in Verdi’s Aida, Escamillo in Bizet’s Carmen, Silvio in Leoncavallo’s I Pagliacci, Donner in Wagner’s Das Rheingold and Belcore in Donizetti’s L’elisir d’Amore.

In addition to his operatic performances, Baker has performed and recorded with leading orchestras and conductors including the Royal Philharmonic, London Philharmonic, London Symphony Orchestra, New York Philharmonic, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Hollywood Bowl, Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, Danish Symphony, Radio Stuttgart Symphony, James Levine, Simon Rattle, Zubin Mehta, André Previn, Lorin Maazel, Esa-Pekka Salonen, Sir Roger Norrington, Jesus Luis Cobos, Daniel Oren, Eric Kunzel, and the late Anton Guadagno and Robert Shaw. Baker has worked with the renowned stage directors Otto Schenk, the late Pierre Ponelle, Nathaniel Merrill and Franco Zeffirelli.

Other career highlights include a Grammy Award nomination in 1986, numerous engagements with the Opera Company of Philadelphia where he has won their public’s heart and is hailed as “the opera crowd’s favorite deep voice,” and repeat appearances in Europe, particularly with Arena di Verona. Recent performances include Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony with the Milwaukee Symphony, Amonasro in Verdi’s Aida with the Opera Company of Philadelphia and Escamillo in Bizet’s Carmen in both Japan and Rome. Most recently, he performed the role of Renato in Verdi’s Un Ballo in Maschera with the Opera Company of Philadelphia and created the role of Robert in the world premiere of Danielpour’s Margaret Garner, a co-production of Michigan Opera Theatre and the Cincinnati Opera. Baker returns to the Opera Company of Philadelphia in February as Porgy for that company’s production of Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess.

Mason Bates brings not only his own fresh talent to the concert hall but also the musical sensibilities of a new generation — he is equally at home composing “for Lincoln Center,” according to his web site (www.masonbates.com), as being the “electronica artist Masonic® who moved to the San Francisco Bay Area from New York City, where he was a lounge DJ at such venues as The Frying Pan — the floating rave ship docked off the pier near West 22nd Street.”

Bates was born in Philadelphia in 1977 and started studying piano with Hope Armstrong Erb at his childhood home in Richmond, Virginia.

He earned degrees in both English literature and music composition in the joint program of Columbia University and the Juilliard School, where his composition teachers included John Corigliano, David Del Tredici and Samuel Adler, and received his doctorate in composition from the University of California, Berkeley in 2008 as a student of Edmund Campion and Jorge Lidermann. Bates was Resident Composer with the California Symphony from 2008 to 2011, Project San Francisco Artist-inResidence with the San Francisco Symphony in 2011-2012, and began a continuing residency with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in September 2010; he is Composer of the Year with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra in 2012-2013.

Bates’ rapidly accumulating portfolio of orchestral, chamber, vocal, theatrical and electronic compositions includes commissions and performances by the major orchestras of London, Lisbon, New York, Washington, Atlanta, Toronto, Phoenix, San Francisco, Oakland, Annapolis, Los Angeles, Miami and Detroit, the Tanglewood, Aspen, Cabrillo and Spoleto USA festivals, Biava Quartet, Chanticleer and New Juilliard Ensemble. Bates’ many honors include a Charles Ives Scholarship and Fellowship from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, Guggenheim Fellowship, Jacob Druckman Memorial Prize from the Aspen Music Festival, ASCAP and BMI awards, a Fellowship from the Tanglewood Music Center, Rome Prize, Berlin Prize and a two-year Composer Residency with Young Concert Artists.

Bates is also an ardent and effective advocate for bringing new music to new spaces, “whether,” he explained, “through institutional partnerships such as the residency with the Chicago Symphony’s MusicNOWseries, or through the project Mercury Soul, which has transformed spaces ranging from commercial clubs to Frank Gehry-designed concert halls into exciting, hybrid musical events drawing over a thousand people. Mercury Soul, a collaboration with director Anne Patterson and conductor Benjamin Shwartz, embeds sets of classical music into an evening of DJing and beautiful, surreal visuals.”

In 2010, Bates was commissioned to write Mothership for the second concert of the YouTube Symphony Orchestra, an ensemble composed of musicians from around the world who were selected through

on-line auditions by Michael Tilson Thomas, the project’s director and conductor, and assembled in Sydney, Australia for rehearsals and a live concert on March 20, 2010 streamed on the internet; the first YouTube Symphony Orchestra concert was held at Carnegie Hall in New York City in 2009. Of Mothership, Bates wrote, “This energetic concert opener imagines the orchestra as a mothership that is ‘docked’ by several visiting soloists, who offer brief but virtuosic riffs on the work’s thematic material over action-packed, electro-acoustic orchestral figuration. The piece follows the form of a scherzo with two trios (as found in, for example, Schumann’s Symphony No. 2). Symphonic scherzos historically play with dance rhythms in an appealing, high-energy manner, with the ‘trio’ sections temporarily exploring new rhythmic areas. Mothership shares a formal connection with the symphonic scherzo, but it is brought to life by thrilling sounds of the 21st century — the rhythms of modern-day techno in place of waltz rhythms, for example.”

PROGRAM NOTES BY DR. RICHARD E. RODDA

Mozart harbored a special fondness for the graceful agility, liquid tone and ensemble amiability of the clarinet from the time that he first heard the instrument as a young boy during his tours, and he later wrote for it whenever it was available. During his years in Vienna, he was especially impressed by the technical accomplishment and expressive playing of the clarinetist in the imperial court orchestra, Anton Stadler. Stadler was a Freemason, and when Mozart joined the fraternity the two musicians became close friends. Those last years of Mozart’s life were ones of worrisome poverty, ill health and family problems that often forced him to go begging for loans from others, especially another fellow Mason, Michael Puchberg, who earned many laudatory footnotes in the closing pages of the composer’s biography for his generosity. It says much about Mozart’s kindness and sensitivity that he, in turn, loaned Stadler money when he could, and even once gave him two gold watches to pawn when there was no cash at hand. The final accounting of Mozart’s estate after his death showed that Stadler owed him some 500 florins — several thousand dollars at today’s rate. Stadler also came out of the friendship with far more than just some of Mozart’s silver. In addition to the flawless Clarinet Concerto, Mozart wrote for him the Clarinet Quintet (K. 581), the Trio for Piano, Clarinet and Viola (K. 498), the clarinet and basset horn parts in the vocal trios, and the clarinet solos in the opera La Clemenza di Tito. The Clarinet Concerto started as another piece apparently intended for Stadler — a work for basset horn (alto clarinet), strings, two flutes and two horns that was sketched as early as 1789. When Stadler conferred with Mozart about the solos in Tito, it seems that he encouraged him to revise the sketch into a full concerto for his instrument.

The Clarinet Concerto was the next-to-last work Mozart completed, 35

followed before his untimely death in December 1791 by only the Masonic Cantata (K. 623) and the unfinished Requiem. The Concerto’s beauty, grace and deep emotion mark it as one of his supreme masterpieces. Only the greatest creator could have balanced music of such limpid, effortless formal perfection with the incipient Romantic sensibility pulsing beneath the work’s surface, a quality that the noted German musicologist Friedrich Blume wrote imparts “the impression of consummate equipoise and proportion.” The first movement is an exquisitely sculpted sonata-concerto form throughout which the dark, sensuous sound of the clarinet is carefully integrated into the orchestral texture. The simplicity of the theme and structure of the following Adagio belie the emotional depth of its music. The rondo-finale not only maintains the spirit of gaiety associated with that form, but also brings to it an entire world of feelings, by turns cheerful and somber, effusive and introverted. This wonderful Concerto embodies the words of the renowned pianist and Mozart specialist Lili Kraus, who stated in a New York Times interview of several years ago: “There is no feeling — human or cosmic — no depth, no height the human spirit can reach that is not contained in Mozart’s music.”

The Fourth Symphony was a product of the most crucial and turbulent time of Tchaikovsky’s life — 1877, when he met two women who forced him to evaluate himself as he never had before. The first was the sensitive, music-loving widow of a wealthy Russian railroad baron, Nadezhda von Meck, who became not only the financial backer who allowed him to quit his irksome teaching job at the Moscow Conservatory to devote himself entirely to composition, but also the sympathetic sounding-board for reports on the whole range of his activities — emotional, musical, personal. Though they never met, her place in Tchaikovsky’s life was enormous and beneficial.

The second woman to enter Tchaikovsky’s life in 1877 was Antonina Miliukov, an unnoticed student in one of his large lecture classes at the Conservatory who had worked herself into a passion over her professor. Tchaikovsky paid her no special attention, and he had quite forgotten her when he received an ardent love letter professing her flaming and unquenchable desire to meet him. Tchaikovsky (age 37), who should have burned the thing, answered the letter of the 28-year-old Antonina in a polite, cool fashion, but did not include an outright rejection of her advances. He had been considering marriage for almost a year in the hope that it would give him both the stable home life that he had not enjoyed in the twenty years since his mother died, as well as to help dispel the alltoo-true rumors of his homosexuality. He believed he might achieve both these goals with Antonina. He could not see the situation clearly enough to realize that what he hoped for was impossible — a pure, platonic marriage without its physical and emotional realities. Further letters from

PROGRAM NOTES \ 2012-2013 SEASON

Antonina implored Tchaikovsky to meet her, and threatened suicide out of desperation if he refused. What a welter of emotions must have gripped his heart when, just a few weeks later, he proposed marriage to her! Inevitably, the marriage crumbled within days of the wedding amid Tchaikovsky’s searing self-deprecation.

It was during May and June that Tchaikovsky sketched the Fourth Symphony, finishing the first three movements before Antonina began her siege. The finale was completed by the time he proposed. Because of this chronology, the program of the Symphony was not a direct result of his marital disaster. All that — the July wedding, the mere eighteen days of bitter conjugal farce, the two separations — postdated the actual composition of the Symphony by a few months. What Tchaikovsky found in his relationship with this woman (who by 1877 already showed signs of approaching the door of the mental ward in which, still legally married to him, she died in 1917) was a confirmation of his belief in the inexorable workings of Fate in human destiny.

After the premiere, Tchaikovsky explained to Mme. von Meck the emotional content of the Fourth Symphony: “The introduction [blaring brasses heard immediately in a motto theme that recurs throughout the Symphony] is the kernel of the whole Symphony. This is Fate, which hinders one in the pursuit of happiness. There is nothing to do but to submit and vainly complain [the melancholy, syncopated shadow-waltz of the main theme, heard in the strings].

Would it not be better to turn away from reality and lull one’s self in dreams? [The second theme is begun by the clarinet.] But no — these are but dreams: roughly we are awakened by Fate. [The blaring brass fanfare over a wave of timpani begins the development section.] Thus we see that life is only an everlasting alternation of somber reality and fugitive dreams of happiness. The second movement shows another phase of sadness. How sad it is that so much has already been and gone! And yet it is a pleasure to think of the early years. It is sad, yet sweet, to lose one’s self in the past. In the third movement are capricious arabesques, vague figures which slip into the imagination when one has taken wine and is slightly intoxicated. Military music is heard in the distance. As to the finale, if you find no pleasure in yourself, go to the people. The picture of a folk holiday. [The finale employs the folk song A Birch Stood in the Meadow.] Hardly have we had time to forget ourselves in the happiness of others when indefatigable Fate reminds us once more of its presence. Yet there still is happiness, simple, naive happiness. Rejoice in the happiness of others — and you can still live.”

/// MICHAEL RUSINEK Michael Rusinek joined the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra in the fall of 1998 as Principal Clarinet. Born in Toronto, Canada, his early studies were with Avrahm Galper at the Royal Conservatory of Music. He later attended The Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. Upon graduation, he was appointed by Mstislav Rostropovich to the post of Assistant Principal Clarinet with the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington, D.C. In addition to his position in the PSO, he has performed as guest Principal Clarinet with the National Arts Center Orchestra of Canada, the St. Louis Symphony, the Philadelphia Orchestra, and The Royal Concertgebouw in Amsterdam.

Rusinek has performed as a soloist with many orchestras and as a recitalist across Canada, on CBC Radio, and throughout the United States and Israel, including appearances with the Czech Philharmonic, Toronto Symphony, Belgrade Philharmonic, Royal Conservatory of Music Orchestra, National Symphony, Aspen Chamber Symphony, the Grand Teton Music Festival, and the Symphony Orchestra of The Curtis Institute of Music.

He has been heard as a soloist with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra many times, and in May 2008, premiered a new concerto by composer Alan Fletcher, a concerto commissioned for him by the PSO. That performance was recorded and is available on the Exton label.

In 1985, Rusinek was awarded the grand prize in the International Clarinet Society competition, and was a prizewinner in the Belgrade International clarinet competition. He has participated in numerous music festivals around the world, including the Tanglewood Music Festival, the Festival of the Sound in Parry Sound, the Portland Chamber Music Festival, and Music In the Vineyards in Napa Valley. He can also be heard regularly at the Grand Teton, Santa Fe Chamber, and Aspen music festivals.

He has performed at the Marlboro Music Festival, and toured with the acclaimed “Musicians from Marlboro.” Rusinek was recently featured on the Sony label celebrating Marlboro’s 50th anniversary.

38

In the summer of 2000, he performed as Principal Clarinet in the Super World Orchestra, an ensemble comprised of musicians from orchestras around the world. Dedicated to teaching, he has led master classes at some of the leading institutions around the country, including The Curtis Institute, the Manhattan School of Music, and the New World Symphony. He served on the faculty of the Canton International Summer Music Academy in Canton, China, for its inaugural season, and returns often to play and teach in Tianjin and Beijing.

He has also served on the faculty of Instrumenta Verano in Mexico. He is currently on faculty at the School of Music at Carnegie Mellon University. Rusinek is proud of his association with Selmer Clarinets and Rico Reeds. When he is not performing or teaching, you may often find him on the golf course, or playing hockey in a non-contact league.

Rusinek last performed solo with the PSO in November 2010.

BIOGRAPHY \ 2012-2013 SEASON

/// MASON BATES The music of Mason Bates fuses innovative orchestral writing, imaginative narrative forms, the harmonies of jazz and the rhythms of techno. Frequently performed by orchestras large and small, his symphonic music has been the first to receive widespread acceptance for its expanded palette of electronic sounds, and it is championed by leading conductors such as Riccardo Muti, Michael Tilson Thomas and Leonard Slatkin. He has become a visible advocate for bringing new music to new spaces, whether through institutional partnerships such as his residency with the Chicago Symphony, or through his classical/DJ project Mercury Soul, which has transformed spaces ranging from commercial clubs to Frank Gehry-designed concert halls into exciting, hybrid musical events drawing over a thousand people.

Carnegie Hall’s 2012-2013 season opens with Riccardo Muti leading the Chicago Symphony in Alternative Energy, an “energy symphony” that spans four movements and hundreds of years. Premiered last season to rave reviews, the work subsequently toured California and receives its Canadian premiere in February by the Toronto Symphony. A new violin concerto for Anne Akiko Meyers and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra premieres in December under the baton of Leonard Slatkin, and the PSO will perform many of Bates’ works as he serves as Composer of the Year.

This season, the Houston Ballet premieres a major new ballet to The B-Sides, a dance suite that drops into five surreal landscapes that has been performed around the country since its San Francisco Symphony premiere.

And the Phoenix Symphony presents two of his works this season — Desert Transport, which conjures a helicopter trip over the Arizona landscape, and a new song cycle for soprano and orchestra. While Bates often performs the electronica onstage with orchestras, dozens of repeat performances of his symphonic music happen without him, demonstrating how electronics can act as a new section in the orchestra with little logistical effort. A good example is Mothership, which premiered at the Sydney Opera House by the YouTube Symphony to an

40

online audience of 1.8 million; it will appear on symphonic programs across the country this season.

Many purely acoustic works complement his diverse catalogue, such as Sirens, an a cappella work touring with the superstar chorus Chanticleer. The solo piano work White Lies for Lomax, commissioned by Tanglewood Music Center, won the Van Cliburn Composers Invitational and is heard regularly on recitals. A new string quartet premiered by the Del Sol Quartet at the 2012 Cabrillo Festival receives its Bay Area premiere this December.

A great deal of his music has been performed by the musicians of Young Concert Artists, the acclaimed New York organization where he served as composer-in-residence.

Bringing classical music to new audiences is a central part of Bates’ activities as a curator, be it through residencies with institutions such as the Chicago Symphony’s MusicNOW series, or in alternative spaces with Mercury Soul. A collaboration with director Anne Patterson and Maestro Benjamin Shwartz, Mercury Soul embeds sets of classical music into a fluid evening of DJing and immersive stagecraft. Soldout performances from San Francisco’s famed Mezzanine club to Miami’s New World Symphony have brought a new vision of the listening experience to widespread audiences, and this season it returns to Chicago’s Metro with members of the Chicago Symphony, as well as to Pittsburgh’s Static. For more info, go to www.masonbates.com.

These performance mark Bates’ debut with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra.

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, call Jan Fleisher at 412.392.3320.
