Dear Friends,

We are delighted to welcome back the acclaimed musicians of Quicksilver, under the inspired direction of violinists Robert Mealy and Julie Andrijeski. Tonight’s program of Viennese Baroque masterworks, titled “Early Moderns: The (very) First Viennese School,” explores the rich chamber music repertoire that developed and flourished in the vibrant artistic climate of 17th-century Imperial Vienna under the Hapsburg emperors, including Ferdinand III and Leopold I, both composers in their own right, and includes works by Schmeltzer, Bertali, Kerll, Legrenzi, Rosenmüller, Fux, and Oswald.

We hope you will join us as our 2022–2023 Season continues on Saturday, March 25 at NEC’s Jordan Hall, when we present the celebrated Chiaroscuro Quartet in their eagerly anticipated BEMF début. April marks the début of the Austrian-based Ensemble Castor in an all-Vivaldi program featuring radiant mezzo-soprano Mireille Lebel and esteemed violin virtuoso Rodolfo Richter. Our Season is brought to a satisfying close with the luminous voices of Stile Antico in a program celebrating the 400th anniversary of the death of William Byrd. And, of course, we look forward to seeing you at our remarkable weeklong 22nd biennial Boston Early Music Festival— A Celebration of Women—which takes place June 4 to 11, 2023.

We are also excited to share the enclosed early announcement of our 2023–2024 Boston Early Music Festival Season. A comprehensive brochure with in-depth descriptions of the concert offerings will be available this summer. Please visit BEMF.org for the latest updates and information.

Thank you for attending tonight’s performance by Quicksilver, and please accept our best wishes for a music-filled month of March as we head into Spring!

PROGRAM NOTES

Vienna, that splendid city on the very edge of Europe, is best known today in music for two great epochs: the era of Mozart and Haydn in the 1780s, and the “Second Viennese School” of Schoenberg, Berg, and Webern in the 1900s. But there was another, earlier, historical period in which Austrian music flourished. This was during the seventeenth century, when the court of the Holy Roman Emperors became the only serious European rival to the more famous court of Louis XIV in Versailles.

This very first Viennese school began with the patronage of the Hapsburg Emperor Ferdinand II, whose marriage to Eleanora Gonzaga of Mantua in 1622 brought the music of Monteverdi and his colleagues to Vienna. It continued to flourish under his successor Ferdinand III and reached a high point with the music-loving Leopold I, who came to the throne in 1658.

This highly cultured emperor managed to create a court in which the arts thrived, despite constant wars with the French and with the Ottoman Turks. Italian virtuosi sought refuge at his court, bringing with them the new stile moderno, full of the passionate give-and-take of friends in conversation. This new style found fertile soil in Austria, where Italian extravagance was grafted onto a German love of counterpoint and highly expressive harmonies.

Toward the end of the century, Vienna had its first native-born Kapellmeister, Johann Heinrich Schmeltzer. Before him, this influential job had only been held by Italians like Giovanni Valentini and Antonio Bertali. After working at the court for several decades, Schmeltzer finally attained the exalted rank of Kapellmeister in 1679. Alas, he held it only for a few months before he fell victim to the terrible plague that swept Vienna and Prague that year. His great mid-century collection of ensemble pieces, the Sacro-profanus concentus musicus, includes several sonorous five-part works, among them the highly atmospheric Sonata settima

The gifted composer and organist Giovanni Legrenzi was one Italian who, despite his best efforts, did not win a position in Vienna. He spent much of his career in cities like Bergamo and Ferrara. In 1665, thanks to a Ferrarese patron, he managed to have one of his operas performed in Vienna, and he even persuaded the Duke of Mantua to put in a good word for him at court as the next Kapellmeister. Unfortunately, the position was already filled by Antonio Bertali, who remained in the job until his death in 1669.

As part of his efforts to win favor in Vienna, Legrenzi named one of his books of sonatas La cetra after Emperor Leopold’s emblem; the word means both “The Scepter” and

EMPEROR LEOPOLD I

Portrait by Benjamin Block (1631–1690)

“The Lyre.” Sonata terza from this collection is an excellent example of how the sonata was changing by mid-century, influenced by the lyricism of Venetian opera composers like Cavalli and Cesti. The passionate overlapping dissonances heard in the opening of this sonata were later to become a regular feature in the works of Arcangelo Corelli.

By contrast, the heartfelt opening of the Sonata à 3 by Andreas Oswald is very much in the high seventeenth-century ensemble sonata style. Here our program takes a brief detour northward: Oswald spent his career as a church organist in Weimar and Eisenach, two towns later associated with Johann Sebastian Bach. Most of Oswald’s surviving ensemble music is preserved in the Ludwig Partiturbuch, an important collection of seventeenthcentury German sonata repertoire. This sonata is particularly striking for its sonorous instrumentation of violin, trombone, and dulcian.

Among Emperor Leopold’s musicians in Vienna was the organist Johann Caspar Kerll, who first studied with Valentini before traveling to Rome to study with Carissimi. Kerll served as Kapellmeister at the Munich court until 1673, when a violent dispute with the Italian opera singers there prompted him to move to Vienna. He became one of Leopold’s court organists five years later. After an eventful decade in Vienna, where he lived through both the great plague of 1679 and the Ottoman siege of 1683, he returned to Munich for the last years of his career. We have a number of splendid masses by Kerll and some very influential collections of keyboard music which provided Handel (among others) with endless inspiration. Only a very few ensemble sonatas of his survive, including the gorgeous Sonata à tre, where the viola da gamba is treated as an equal solist with the violins. This sonata appears in the huge collection of music assembled in Uppsala by Gustav Düben, for use by the Swedish court—another example of how the music of this first Viennese School traveled far and wide across Europe.

One of the most important Italians to come north was the “valoroso nel’violino” Antonio

Bertali, who arrived in Vienna around 1624 and became Kapellmeister to the Emperor in 1649. His Sonata à 3 is a striking example of his highly theatrical style, with its heartfelt adagio that frames a truly rocking ciaccona. This sonata turns up in at least two sources. We use the version that appears in Book II of his Prothimia suavissima. The sonata can also be found in the Düben collection.

Johann Heinrich Schmeltzer’s fame reached far beyond Vienna. By the mid-1660s, he was in correspondence with Karl LichtensteinCastelcorno, the Prince-Bishop of Olmütz and son of Emperor Ferdinand II. Karl kept an elaborate musical establishment at his court in the town of Kremsier (modern-day Kroměříž). He commissioned several works from Schmeltzer including the festive Sonata la Carolietta, probably written in celebration of the Prince-Bishop’s name-day.

The keyboard works of Johann Caspar Kerll show off his mastery of the two great national styles of the time. He composed both extravagant Italian toccatas and elegant French dance suites. His elaborate Passagaglia is a great example of how the South Germans incorporated Italian virtuosity into this classic French form (and how they altered French words to fit their Southern accent!).

Johann Jacob Fux is best known today for his guide to counterpoint, the Gradus ad Parnassum. His own climb to the Parnassus of the Viennese court is slightly mysterious; he received a thorough Jesuit education at Graz, but his matriculation document remarks that he “fled away secretly” before graduating. By the 1690s, he seems to have been working for the Archbishop of Hungary, who was a good friend of Emperor Leopold. Fux dedicated a Mass to the Emperor in 1695, and soon thereafter began working for the Imperial court. He remained in service through three emperors, providing everything from masses and oratorios to chamber music to operas, while also deeply involved in the court administration.

Fux’s music, like his career, traces a generational shift. Some of his chamber works like the

Sonata à 4 are very much in the mode of the seventeenth-century sonata, but by the end of his career he was creating High Baroque trio sonatas. A remarkable figure, Fux deserves far more recognition for his music than he has yet received.

Kerll’s Sonata à 2 appears in a huge anthology of 157 trio sonatas assembled by a cleric, Franz Rost, probably for the use of the Margrave of Baden-Baden. In this sonata, Kerll explores the extravagance of the sonata concertata, with extended solos for both violins, but places all this virtuosity in a characteristically South German lyric melancholy.

With Johann Rosenmüller, we come to a major composer whose unexpected life events led to some interesting musical developments. Rosenmüller was the leading musical figure in Leipzig in his day, and was set to begin his new post as Thomaskantor (the position Bach took

ARTIST PROFILES

on thirty years later) when he was arrested for homosexuality. Forced to flee, he ended up in Venice where he worked at San Marco and taught at the Pietà, doing the same work that Vivaldi did fifty years later.

This dramatic trajectory transformed his musical style as well as his career. Rosenmüller’s instrumental music had been largely made up of dance suites in Leipzig, but once he got to Venice, he discovered the power of operatic melody and theatrical gesture. The Sonata decima à 5 comes from his last set of sonatas published in 1682, which combine heartbreaking adagios with dramatic, precipitous allegros. Rosenmüller’s sonatas were known and admired by the musicians at the Imperial court, and Leopold may well have enjoyed the unexpected surprises of this wonderful sonata. n

Boson Early Music Fesival

The Boston Early Music Festival (BEMF) is universally recognized as a leader in the field of early music. Since its founding in 1980 by leading practitioners of historical performance in the United States and abroad, BEMF has promoted early music through a variety of diverse programs and activities, including an annual concert series that brings early music’s brightest stars to the Boston and New York concert stages, and the biennial weeklong Festival and Exhibition, recognized as “the world’s leading festival of early music” (The Times, London). Through its programs BEMF has earned its place as North America’s premier presenting organization for music of the Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque periods and has secured Boston’s reputation as “America’s early music capital” (Boston Globe).

INTERNATIONAL BAROQUE OPERA

One of BEMF’s main goals is to unearth and present lesser-known Baroque operas performed by the world’s leading musicians armed with the latest information on period singing, orchestral performance, scenic design, costuming, dance, and staging. BEMF operas reproduce the Baroque’s stunning palette of sound by bringing together today’s leading operatic superstars and a wealth of instrumental talent from across the globe to one stage for historic presentations, all zestfully led from the pit by the BEMF Artistic Directors Paul O’Dette and Stephen Stubbs, and creatively reimagined for the stage by BEMF Opera Director Gilbert Blin.

The twenty-first biennial Boston Early Music Festival in June 2021 took place virtually, and featured a video presentation of André Campra’s extraordinary  Le Carnaval de Venise  from the June 2017 Festival. The twenty-second Festival, in June 2023, will have as its centerpiece Henry Desmarest’s 1694 opera Circé from a libretto by LouiseGeneviève Gillot de Saintonge, which will feature the Boston Early Music Festival Dance Company, a troupe of dancers under the guidance of BEMF Dance Director Melinda Sullivan.

The series focuses on the wealth of chamber operas composed during the Baroque period, while providing an increasing number of local opera aficionados the opportunity to attend one of BEMF’s superb offerings. Subsequent annual productions include George Frideric Handel’s Acis and Galatea, Henry Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas, combined performances of Charpentier’s La Descente d’Orphée aux Enfers and La Couronne de Fleurs, Monteverdi’s Orfeo, a double bill of Pergolesi’s La serva padrona and Livietta e Tracollo, a production titled “Versailles” featuring Les Plaisirs de Versailles by Charpentier, Les Fontaines de Versailles by Michel-Richard de Lalande, and divertissements from Atys by Jean-Baptiste Lully, Francesca Caccini’s Alcina, the first opera written by a woman, a combination of Telemann’s Pimpinone and Ino, and most recently joint performances of Lully’s Idylle sur la Paix and Charpentier’s La Fête de Rueil. Acis and Galatea was revived and presented on a four-city North American Tour in early 2011, which included a performance at the American Handel Festival in Seattle, and in 2014, BEMF’s second North American Tour featured the Charpentier double bill from 2011.

BEMF has a well-established and highly successful project to record some of its

groundbreaking work in the field of Baroque opera. The first three recordings in this series were all nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Opera Recording, in 2005, 2007, and 2008: the 2003 Festival centerpiece Ariadne, by Johann Georg Conradi; Lully’s Thésée; and the 2007 Festival opera, Lully’s Psyché, which was hailed by BBC Music Magazine as “superbly realized…magnificent.” In addition, the BEMF recordings of Lully’s Thésée and Psyché received Gramophone Award Nominations in the Baroque Vocal category in 2008 and 2009, respectively. BEMF’s next three recordings on the German CPO label were drawn from its Chamber Opera Series: Charpentier’s Actéon, Blow’s Venus and Adonis, and a release of Charpentier’s La Descente d’Orphée aux Enfers and La Couronne de Fleurs, which won the 2015 Grammy Award for Best Opera Recording and the 2015 Echo Klassik Opera Recording of the Year (17th/18th Century Opera). Agostino Steffani’s Niobe, Regina di Tebe, featuring Philippe Jaroussky and Karina Gauvin, which was released in January 2015 on the Erato/Warner Classics label in conjunction with a seven-city, fourcountry European concert tour of the opera, has been nominated for a Grammy Award, was named Gramophone’s Recording of the Month for March 2015, is the 2015 Echo Klassik World Premiere Recording of the Year, and has received a 2015 Diapason

d’Or de l’Année and a 2015 Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik. Handel’s Acis and Galatea was released in November 2015. In 2017, while maintaining the focus on Baroque opera, BEMF expanded the recording project to include other select Baroque vocal works: a new Steffani disc, Duets of Love and Passion, was released in September 2017 in conjunction with a sixcity North American tour, and a recording of Johann Sebastiani’s St. Matthew Passion was released in March 2018. Four Baroque opera releases followed in 2019 and 2020: a disc of Charpentier’s chamber operas Les Plaisirs de Versailles and Les Arts Florissants was released at the June 2019 Festival, and has been nominated for a Grammy Award; the 2013 Festival opera, Handel’s Almira, was released in late 2019, and received a Diapason d’Or. Lalande’s chamber opera Les Fontaines de Versailles was featured on a September 2020 release of the composer’s works; Christoph Graupner’s opera Antiochus und Stratonica was released in December 2020.

CELEBRATED CONCERTS

Some of the most thrilling musical moments at the biennial Festival occur during one of the dozen or more concerts presented around the clock, which always include the acclaimed Boston Early Music Festival Orchestra led by Orchestra Director Robert Mealy, and which often feature unique, oncein-a-lifetime collaborations and programs by the spectacular array of talent assembled for the Festival week’s events. In 1989, BEMF

established an annual concert series bringing early music’s leading soloists and ensembles to the Boston concert stage to meet the growing demand for regular world-class performances of early music’s beloved classics and newly discovered works. BEMF then expanded its concert series in 2006, when it extended its performances to New York City’s Gilder Lehrman Hall at the Morgan Library & Museum, providing “a shot in the arm for New York’s relatively modest earlymusic scene” (New York Times).

WORLD-FAMOUS EXHIBITION

The nerve center of the biennial Festival, the Exhibition is the largest event of its kind in the United States, showcasing nearly one hundred early instrument makers, music publishers, service organizations, schools and universities, and associated colleagues. In 2013, Mozart’s own violin and viola were displayed at the Exhibition, in their first-ever visit to the United States. Every other June, hundreds of professional musicians, students, and enthusiasts come from around the world to purchase instruments, restock their libraries, learn about recent musicological developments, and renew old friendships. For four days, they visit the Exhibition booths to browse, discover, and purchase, and attend the dozens of symposia, masterclasses, and demonstration recitals, all of which encourage a deeper appreciation of early music, and strengthen relationships between musicians, participants, and audiences. n
