note from riccardo muti zell music director

Welcome to Symphony Center, home of the great Chicago Symphony Orchestra. As one who has advo cated for the preservation of culture and championed music as a universal language all my life, nothing pleases me more than to see you at concerts before this orchestra that has given beauty and cultural enrichment to generations.

From start to finish, this season includes music of personal significance. When I first led the CSO, at the Ravinia Festival in 1973, it was in Mussorgsky’s Pictures from an Exhibition, a work we revisit this October. At that first con cert, the Orchestra made a profound impression on me, as I realized it was an ensemble without limits. I am grateful to the musicians of all the orches tras that I have conducted around the world, but the CSO is truly unique and continues to amaze me. The way the musicians have responded to my musi cal ideas and sense of family that we immediately created together is what inspired me to accept this prestigious commitment. We love each other very much, and the years have gone by very, very fast.

We close the season with Beethoven’s Missa solemnis, which I have often compared to Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel—not only for its monumentality but also as a symbol of our humanity approaching the divine. Perhaps it is more than a coincidence that my first score to Missa solemnis is dated 1973, the same year I was introduced to this great orchestra.

I look forward to all the music we will make together and to feeling your presence at concerts throughout the season.

Riccardo Muti Zell Music Director Chicago Symphony Orchestra

note from the chair and the president

It is our pleasure to welcome you to Symphony Center for the opening weeks of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s 132nd season.

This season pays tribute to Riccardo Muti as we cele brate his artistry, which has profoundly moved audiences during his past twelve seasons as music director. During the week of concerts, Muti conducts the U.S. premiere of a rediscovered work by composer Samuel ColeridgeTaylor and marks his 500th concert with the CSO since his debut at the Ravinia Festival in 1973. The following week, Maestro Muti and the CSO mark seventy years since the death of Sergei Prokofiev, a composer who has a special history with the Orchestra, in performances of his Symphony no. 5. For his third subscription program, Muti conducts Franck’s Le chasseur maudit and Mussorgsky’s Pictures from an Exhibition, which he conducted on his debut concert with the CSO. Yefim Bronfman joins Muti and the CSO during the opening concerts and Symphony Ball, perform ing as soloist in Brahms’s Piano Concerto no. 1 and Mozart’s Piano Concerto no. 22, respectively.

This fall, the CSO is joined by esteemed guest conductors including Constantine Kitsopoulos, Christian Thielemann, Xian Zhang, Edward Gardner, Harry Bicket, and Manfred Honeck. Violinist Christian Tetzlaff, pianist Simon Trpčeski, and cellist Gautier Capuçon are featured soloists. In October, there are four performances of the 1984 Academy Award–winning film Amadeus with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, and we are pleased to welcome the Joffrey Ballet to Orchestra Hall for three performances, including the world premieres of two ballets. In addition, the CSO returns to Wheaton College in November. Marking both the start of the twenty-fifth season of CSO MusicNOW and its return to Symphony Center, Mead Composer-in-Residence Jessie Montgomery and musicians from the CSO perform two concerts of contemporary works this fall.

The Symphony Center Presents season opens its Jazz series with pianist and composer Chucho Valdés in La Creación (The Creation), an SCP co-commission for big band, Afro-Cuban percussion, and vocals. Next, violinist Midori and pia nist Jean-Yves Thibaudet perform a duo recital to begin the SCP Chamber Music series, while David Fray launches the SCP Piano series with works by Schubert and Liszt. A highlight of the season is the return of the Berliner Philharmoniker, conducted by Kirill Petrenko, for its first appearance in Chicago since 2009.

We look forward to seeing you at many concerts in the season ahead and remain grateful for your support of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association.

As part of an ongoing series, CSO musicians reflect on the artistry, experience, and myriad qualities Riccardo Muti has contributed since becoming music director in 2010. Here, musicians share insights on aspects of their unique artistic partnership with the maestro and his remarkable style of leadership on and off the podium.

“ The Muti/CSO partnership has certainly blossomed over time, but an extraordinary magical musical connection was obvious on day one.”

“Like no other conductor I’ve worked with, Maestro Muti has an incredible ability to show us with his conducting exactly what we need when we need it. He doesn’t waste gestures when we’re in a groove, but we can always count on his help through difficult transitions or while performing unfamiliar pieces.”

Susan Synnestvedt Violin

What is it like to be conducted by Riccardo Muti? To answer this, members of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra would argue they have the best seat in the house.

Daniel Gingrich Associate Principal Horn

“As a member of the CSO woodwind section, I want to shed light on a wonderful fact. Maestro Muti has appointed many of us—all of the principal winds as well as section members— and because of his love and commitment to the ever-growing talent of this orchestra, he leaves us with a great sense of pride as we will always strive to be one of the greatest orchestras in the world. His trust in us speaks volumes to his legacy and his incredible dedication to choosing great musicians to carry the torch for generations to come.”

Stephen Williamson Principal Clarinet

“Maestro Muti is the most trusted conductor that we collaborate with because he is always prepared, knowing what he is asking us to do, and how to gesture to get the desired outcome. He also expects the best of us in rehearsal and concert.”

Mark Ridenour Assistant Principal Trumpet

“ We are very sensitive to his gestures and facial expressions. From the moment he walks onto the podium, we have a sense of how the performance might go, but with us, he always becomes calm, content, and energetic. His mood gets lighter during the concert, although he’s tough when he hears or sees something that should not happen. We like to please his good taste.”

Mihaela Ionescu Violin

“Maestro Muti tenaciously insists on constantly deepening our dedication to artistic discipline and refinement. Dolce, cantabile, and sostenuto are integral elements of a truly great ensemble that keep the CSO in the vanguard of the world’s elite symphony orchestras.”

Michael Mulcahy Trombone

“Maestro Muti‘s consistent drive for excellence and the highest standard of music coincide with his generosity, humanity, and true love and care for the members of the Chicago Symphony and their families. One of the things that has impressed me about Maestro Muti beyond his capabilities and expertise on the podium is his kindness and compassion as a human being and family man. From the time he started and his wife Cristina bounced my eighteenmonth-old on her lap, he has consistently inquired, ‘How are the bambini?,’ wanting to know if they’re coming to concerts and for them to come and say, ‘hello.’ ”

Wendy Koons Meir Violin

“His unique personality has been the perfect match, in addition to his exquisite conducting and inspirational leadership of one of the most iconic orchestras in the world. I feel extremely lucky to be able to share the stage with him and to learn from his unique spirit. Without any doubt, he will always be ‘The Maestro’ for me.”

Esteban Batallán Principal Trumpet

The Adolph Herseth Principal Trumpet Chair, endowed by an anonymous benefactor

“Maestro Muti quickly realized that his musicians not only understood him but also greatly appreciated his musicianship, and hence were open to his leadership. This has resulted in growth in the performance level of the Orchestra. Now we can quickly understand the musical language of composers from Mozart to Verdi to Varèse.”

Stephen Lester Bass

“Maestro Muti has come to enjoy friendships with each member of the Orchestra. These are friendships based on the joy of making music together. We collaborate with him in the most collegial manner. He loves being with all musicians, sharing stories and experiences that enhance our relationship to him.”

Michael Henoch* Assistant Principal Oboe

The Gilchrist Foundation Chair

“I joined the Chicago Symphony in 1962 and have had the immense honor and privilege of performing under some of the world’s most brilliant and acclaimed conductors. It is my humble opinion that Maestro Muti is ‘NONPAREIL.’ Maestro Muti’s extraordinary combination of musicianship, humanity, and artistic vision makes every concert he conducts a truly remarkable occasion. He has taken the Orchestra to new heights and has given the city of Chicago an invaluable gift.”

Lynne Turner Harp

“He genuinely cares about doing justice to this music, getting to the depth of it rather than just an on-the-surface, generic interpretation. That is really inspiring to see and to be a part of.”

Keith Buncke Principal Bassoon

a note from the senior director of programming

Welcome to Symphony Center!

October 4, 2022, marked the twenty-fifth anniversary of the opening of Symphony Center. The gala concert on that night in 1997 celebrated the completion of a threeyear restoration and renovation of Orchestra Hall. The New York Times touted, “it sounded altogether new, with a depth and spaciousness never before heard here.”

“ . . . It sounded altogether new, with a depth and spaciousness never before heard here.”

THE NEW YORK TIMES

That same year, our long-standing presentation series, first established as Allied Arts in 1930, was renamed Symphony Center Presents to align with the facility’s new name. Symphony Center Presents offered an opening festival with star-studded performances in its inaugural season that included over seventy concerts by more than ninety artists and ensembles who came to perform in the self-proclaimed “Musical Heart of Chicago.”

It was my pleasure to have been a part of that first season, and it is my hope that we have been able to continue the tremendous legacy that brings the world’s finest musical artists to Orchestra Hall’s Armour Stage for all Chicagoans. Our fall 2022 programs continue that tradition by featuring a Symphony Center Presents Jazz series co-commission by the great Cuban pianist and composer Chucho Valdés, an all-Beethoven violin and piano recital by Midori and JeanYves Thibaudet, a solo recital by pianist David Fray, and the return of the phenomenal Berliner Philharmoniker under the direction of its Chief Conductor Kirill Petrenko. All of these programs are examples of the extraordinary musical offerings that we have planned throughout our 2022–23 season.

I look forward to seeing you at this season’s concerts and thank you for your support of Symphony Center.

franz schubert

Born January 31, 1797; Himmelpfortgrund, northwest of Vienna, Austria

Died November 19, 1828; Vienna, Austria

Allegretto in E-flat Major from Drei Klavierstücke, D. 946

composed 1828

Schubert was among the first practitioners of the so-called character piece, the species of compact, single-movement, sharply etched piano composition designed for the burgeoning home music market of the early nineteenth century. A musical tidal wave arose of these popular miniatures in the years after Schubert’s death in 1828—the masterful examples by Chopin, Schumann, Brahms, Liszt, Mendelssohn, Fauré, Grieg, and others. They occupy the heart of the piano literature, but the form was still new when Schubert took it up around 1815 to provide keyboard entertainment at the convivial local gatherings known as Schubertiads, which featured his music and performances.

Beginning in 1824, during the last years of his pitifully brief life, Schubert created a series of character pieces that parallel his superb late sonatas. First among this group were the endearing Moments musicaux, whose six movements occupied him between 1824 and 1827. During the last six months of 1827, he composed eight pieces he called impromptus. Schubert did not invent the name. The term impromptu had been current in Vienna since at least 1822, when the Bohemian-Austrian composer Jan Voříšek issued a set of brief, ternary-form works of extemporized nature under that name. Schubert was familiar with Voříšek’s pieces, as well as with the many independent piano works by Beethoven, Field, Tomášek, and others that were flooding the market in the wake of the burgeoning piano

manufacturing trade (and falling consumer prices) of those years. Schubert sold his eight impromptus to Haslinger in Vienna, who agreed to publish them in small lots to test their acceptance. The first two numbers of the series were issued with some success in 1828 as Schubert’s op. 90, nos. 1 and 2, but the composer’s death on November 19 of that year halted the project, and the remaining pair of op. 90 impromptus was not published until 1857 or 1858; the four others were issued at the end of 1839 by Diabelli as op. 142.

It seems likely that the three piano pieces Schubert wrote in May 1827 were intended as the nucleus of a third set of impromptus, though their manuscripts bear neither title nor number. When Johannes Brahms edited them and oversaw the initial publication in 1868, he labeled them simply Drei Klavierstücke (Three Piano Pieces). Perhaps the most remarkable quality of these character pieces is the manner in which Schubert leavened their inherent pianism with his incomparable sense of melody, a situation for which Kathleen Dale proposed the following explanation:

Schubert’s continued experience of song-writing had by now so strongly developed his wonderful natural gift of apprehending the spirit of a poem and re-creating it in music that when he turned from songs to write for piano solo, he inevitably composed works which, though specifically instrumental in character, are so truly lyrical in essence that each is a poem in sound.

“A poem in sound”—music that is flowing, evocative, reflective of the rhythms of the heart and the soul and of life itself. Such is the gift that Schubert left the world.

above: Watercolor portrait of Franz Schubert by Wilhelm August Rieder, 1825. Austrian National Library

The Drei Klavierstücke are arranged according to a pleasing tonal plan: E-flat minor, E-flat major, and C major. They are in simple three-part structures (the second adds an additional intervening episode: A–B–A–C–A) and almost opulent in the warmth of their sonority and harmony. The first piece (E-flat minor) opens and closes with an anxious strain whose febrile quality is enhanced by layering its duplet melody upon a triplet accompaniment; the central andante is, by way of expressive balance, quiet

and meditative. Performed this afternoon, the second piece (E-flat major) is based on a tender theme that Schubert borrowed from the opening chorus of act three of his 1823 opera Fierrabras; the movement’s two contrasting episodes are unsettled and mysterious. Piece no. 3 (C major) exhibits a teasing rhythmic ambiguity reminiscent of a Slavic dance, countered in its middle region by a rather stolid paragraph in block chords.

Fantasy in C Major, D. 760 (Wanderer)

composed 1822

Schubert wrote his Fantasy in C major in November 1822, immediately after he broke off composition of the Unfinished Symphony. It was the first large instrumental work he had completed in two years, having abandoned two quartets and two symphonies during that time. As thematic material for the Fantasy, Schubert turned to his 1816 song titled Der Wanderer (D. 489) and wove upon it a magnificent hybrid of sonata and variation forms, making it the most virtuosic piano piece in his keyboard output. (The work’s sobriquet did not originate with the composer, and he did not use it when referring to the piece.) The Fantasy was published in February 1823 by the Viennese firm of Cappi & Diabelli and immediately recognized as one of Schubert’s greatest achievements, as a notice in the Wiener Zeitung on February 24 indicated: “The present Fantasy stands worthily side by side with similar products by the

foremost masters and therefore merits in every way the attention of all artists and lovers of art.” Of the grand pianism and variety of moods in the Wanderer Fantasy, Robert Schumann said:

Schubert would like in this work to condense the whole orchestra into two hands. The enthusiastic beginning [movement] is a seraphic hymn to the Godhead; you can see the angels praying; the adagio is a gentle meditation on life and removes the veil from it; then fugues thunder forth a song of endless humanity and music.

The Wanderer Fantasy is one of Schubert’s most adventurous formal achievements. It is disposed in four continuous movements, but rather than being independent essays, these sections are woven together by sharing thematic material. This structure of four movements in one, enhanced by transformations of a motto theme, was influential on Liszt in his development of the symphonic poem. (Liszt transcribed the work for piano and orchestra in 1851.) The kernel from which the Fantasy grows

franz schubert

is the dactylic rhythm (long—short—short) on a repeated pitch presented immediately at the beginning. Schubert borrowed this figure not from the vocal melody of the song Der Wanderer, but from its accompaniment. The opening Allegro is an energetic working-out of this motif in alternation with a lyrical strain to provide contrast. The second movement is a series of richly elaborate variations on a fragment from the song’s voice part, also initiated by a dactylic

rhythm. The following Presto is a bounding scherzo (the long—short—short rhythm is heard after two brief introductory flourishes) whose trio derives from the contrasting, lyrical melody of the first movement. The finale opens with the intimation of a fugue, but the counterpoint eventually gives way to electrifying figuration and cadential transformations of the Fantasy’s principal theme.

Selections from Années de pèlerinage (Years of Pilgrimage)

composed Second Year: Italy 1837–49 Third Year 1867–77

A great man’s reputation precedes him, and Franz Liszt followed where his led. One of Europe’s most famous and sought-after personalities in the nineteenth century, he traveled the length and breadth of the continent, astounding audiences with his piano wizardry. His biographer Sacheverell Sitwell wrote:

There was hardly a country in Europe to which his journeys did not extend. We find him in Seville, in Lisbon, in Copenhagen, all over Poland and Russia, in Hungary, and in Constantinople. The scope of his voyages was without precedent in the history of music.

Liszt collected musical images as he traveled, much as did Aaron Copland in the 1930s when he wrote, “Other tourists will pull out their

snapshots to show you what a country looks like, but a composer wants to show you what a country sounds like.” Liszt’s most famous “tonal snapshots” are the three volumes of Années de pèlerinage (Years of Pilgrimage).

After a series of dazzling concerts in Paris in the spring of 1837, Liszt and his long-time mistress, Countess Marie d’Agoult, spent the summer with novelist George Sand at her villa in Nohant before visiting their daughter Blandine in Switzerland and then descending upon Milan in September. As the birth of their second child approached, they retreated to Lake Como, where Cosima (later the wife of Hans von Bülow before she was stolen away by Richard Wagner) was born on Christmas Eve. They remained in Italy for the next year and a half, making extended visits for performances in Venice, Genoa, Milan, Florence, and Bologna before settling early in 1839 in Rome, where their third child, Daniel, was born on May 9. Liszt’s guide to the artistic riches of the Eternal City was the famed painter Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, then director of the French Academy at the Villa Medici; Liszt was

particularly impressed with the works of Raphael and Michelangelo and the music of the Sistine Chapel. He took home as a souvenir of his Roman holiday the now-famous drawing that Ingres did of him and inscribed to Mme d’Agoult. Liszt’s Italian travels were the inspiration for the series of seven piano pieces he composed between 1837 and 1849 and gathered together for publication as book 2 of his Années de pèlerinage in 1858.

Book 1 of the Années was largely rooted in the land, people, and history of Switzerland, but book 2 took as its catalysts Italy’s art and literature. Sposalizio was inspired by Raphael’s The Marriage of the Virgin. Raphael’s painting was done in 1504 for the church of San Francesco in Città di Castello, thirty miles north of Perugia; it is now held by the Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan. The painting depicts the marriage ceremony of Mary and Joseph surrounded by a dozen other sumptuously dressed figures standing before a large, symmetrically tiled plaza (a virtuoso exercise in perspective) capped by a domed circular pavilion. Liszt’s Sposalizio is a lovely, lyrical bridal song of almost impressionistic hue (created more than two decades before Debussy was born, however) with suggestions of wedding bells in its peaceful preamble and benediction.

The Three Sonnets of Petrarch that occupy the heart of the second set of the Années de pèlerinage began as settings for high tenor voice that Liszt composed in Italy in 1838–39. He transcribed those songs for piano solo in 1845 and published them the following year. Ten years later, he created extended fantasias on the songs’ materials for inclusion in the Années. His last version of the songs was a revision for low voice done in 1864.

According to the noted English pianist and Liszt authority Louis Kentner, Sonnet no. 104 (Pace non trovo, e non ho da far guerra / I find no peace, and know not how to make war) speaks of “restlessness, tears, self-hate, vain search for inner peace—all caused by the loved one. . . . It is understandable that pianists revel in its eloquence.”

Liszt and Marie were avid readers of Dante Alighieri, the patriarch of Italian literature, and

while in Rome in 1839, Liszt was moved by the Inferno in the poet’s Divine Comedy to compose his Après une Lecture du Dante (After a Reading of Dante). The work was thoroughly revised ten years later and included in book 2 of the Années de pèlerinage. (The Divine Comedy inspired a full symphony from Liszt in 1855–56.) Après une lecture du Dante is largely constructed from two contrasting subjects, perhaps depicting heaven and hell. The first consists of transformations of two motifs: an ominous augmented fourth (a harmonically unsettling leap known since the Middle Ages as the “devil’s interval”) and anxious chromatic octaves evoking the descent into the abyss; the contrasting second subject is serene, idyllic and, well, heavenly. Only a few moments of calm recalling the second subject slow the furious pace of this unforgivingly virtuosic evocation of Dante’s weird and horrible visions as it drives toward a dramatic and ferocious close.

In the early 1860s, after four decades of one of the most flamboyantly sensational careers ever granted to a musician, Liszt sought a more contemplative life. Though he was still acclaimed as a peerless pianist, excellent conductor, and influential figure in European musical life, he experienced some serious reverses in the years surrounding his fiftieth birthday in 1861: Liszt resigned his post as music director at Weimar because of opposition to his artistic policies and the growing local animosity toward his long-time, and still unwed relationship with Princess Carolyne von Sayn-Wittgenstein; his recent orchestral compositions were receiving scant attention; Brahms, Joachim, and other leading musicians published a manifesto attacking the alleged excesses of his music as well as that of Wagner and other “new German” composers; his son Daniel died in 1859, and his daughter Blandine, in 1862. In 1860, Liszt made out his last will and testament, and the next year he went with the princess to Rome, hoping that Pope Pius IX would grant her a divorce so they could marry on the composer’s fiftieth birthday, October 22. Their petition was denied, and they never spoke of marriage again, even after her

husband died in 1864. Liszt spent much of 1863 cloistered in the monastery of the Madonna del Rosario at Monte Mario, receiving the religious instruction that led to him being granted “minor orders,” which allowed him to perform a few small priestly duties but not to officiate at mass or to hear confession. The change in Liszt’s attitude toward his life was paralleled by a reconsideration of his musical style, and several of his late piano works are marked by sobriety, austerity, introspection, and harmonic daring that leave far behind the virtuoso pyrotechnics of his touring years and look ahead to the atonal modernisms of the early twentieth century. The third volume of the Années de pèlerinage, published in 1883, was composed during those years of loss, contemplation, and religious awakening.

The selections in book 3 of the Années were written mostly during Liszt’s extended stays at the sumptuous Villa d’Este in Tivoli, twenty miles northeast of Rome. The history of that storied place began in 1550, when Cardinal Ippolito d’Este, grandson of Pope Alexander VI and son of the pope’s daughter Lucrezia Borgia, lost a power struggle to occupy the throne of St. Peter’s to Julius III. Julius appointed Ippolito governor of Tivoli, effectively sending him into internal exile since such positions required that the magistrate never leave his jurisdiction. Ippolito spent the remaining twenty-two years of his life ameliorating his velvet captivity by renovating the old Benedictine convent at Tivoli into an opulent palazzo and then surrounding it with some of the most spectacular gardens in Italy, widely famed for their groves of cypress trees and their fountains and water features. The Villa d’Este played host and home to church figures, artists, and other important guests over the centuries. By the 1850s, it had come to have as its chief occupant Archbishop Gustav Adolf Hohenlohe, a scion of a noble German family who had been ordained as a priest in 1849 and

was then insinuating himself into the hierarchy of the Vatican. (He was made a cardinal in 1866.)

Franz Liszt and Hohenlohe met in 1859. During the following years, when Liszt suffered serious personal and professional reverses, he turned to religion for solace, and he and Hohenlohe became fast friends. Hohenlohe presided at the ceremony in 1865 at which Liszt was granted minor orders in the church, and he invited the composer to stay at Villa d’Este whenever he was in Rome. Over the next two decades, Liszt frequently and gratefully partook of the beauty and tranquility of Tivoli. During a visit in 1877, he composed two pieces inspired by the villa’s cypresses and another one—Les Jeux d’eaux à la Villa d’Este—by its fountains. These three pieces Liszt included in the third book of the Années, along with four others of somber religiosity.

In his preface to the 1883 publication of book 3 of Années de pèlerinage, Liszt wrote:

As instrumental music progresses, it will cease to be a mere combination of sounds and will become a poetic language more apt than poetry itself, perhaps, at expressing that within our souls which transcends the common horizon, all that eludes analysis, all that moves in hidden depths of imperishable desire and infinite intuition. [This volume] is written for the few rather than for the many—not ambitious of success, but of the approval of those who conceive art as having other uses than the beguiling of idle hours, and asks more from it than the futile distraction of a passing entertainment.

David Fray Piano

Acclaimed for his interpreta tions of music from Bach to Boulez, David Fray performs in the world’s major venues as a recitalist, soloist, and chamber musician. He has collaborated with leading conductors such as Semyon Bychkov, Christoph Eschenbach, Paavo Järvi, Kurt Masur, Riccardo Muti, Esa-Pekka Salonen, and Yannick NézetSéguin. Concert appearances in Europe include the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Bavarian Radio Orchestra, Philharmonia Orchestra, London Philharmonic, Dresden Philharmonic, Orchestre de Paris, and Orchestre National de France.

Fray made his U.S. debut in 2009 with the Cleveland Orchestra, followed by performances with the Boston Symphony, San Francisco Symphony, New York Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony, and Los Angeles Philharmonic. He has played recitals at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and Symphony Center in Chicago and performs regularly at the Vienna Konzerthaus, Mozarteum Salzburg, London’s Wigmore Hall, and Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris.

He has a deep and longstanding affinity for the works of Johann Sebastian Bach, performing the composer’s monumental Goldberg Variations at many prestigious venues. Recently, the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées presented David Fray in a cycle of Bach’s works, featuring the Goldberg Variations and concertos for two, three, and four pianos with Fray play-directing from the keyboard.

Recent and upcoming highlights include returns to the Orchestra de la Suisse Romande, Franz Liszt Chamber Orchestra, Orchestre national du Capitole de Toulouse, and MonteCarlo Philharmonic. Fray continues to appear at the Hamburg Ballet, playing an all-Schubert program as an accompaniment to Ghost Light

by John Neumier for which Fray won the Opus Klassik’s 2020 Award for Innovative Concert of the Year. He performed the Goldberg Variations at the Gulbenkian Festival in Lisbon, televised as part of Pianomania II; Bach’s keyboard concertos at the Firkušný Festival in Prague; a special recital with Fatma Said at the Eiffel Tower; and a recital tour of Asia.

Fray, a Warner exclusive artist, has released many albums, the latest being Bach’s Goldberg Variations. His first album featured works of Bach and Boulez and was praised as the “best record of the year” by the London Times and Le Soir, and his disc of Bach’s keyboard concertos with the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie received an award from the German Recording Academy. Other recordings include Bach’s violin sonatas with Renaud Capuçon, Schubert’s Moments musicaux and impromptus, and Mozart’s piano concertos with the Philharmonia Orchestra and Jaap van Zweden.

In 2008 the TV network ARTE presented a documentary featuring Fray, directed by the renowned French director Bruno Monsaingeon. The film Sing, Swing & Think was subsequently released on DVD.

In 2021 Fray founded and presented the first edition of a new festival, the Offrande Musicale, which takes place annually in his native region of Hautes-Pyrénées in southwestern France and lends support to people with disabilities.

David Fray has received several awards, including the German Echo Klassik Prize for Instrumentalist of the Year and the Young Talent Award from the Ruhr Piano Festival. In 2008 he was named Newcomer of the Year by BBC Music Magazine, and at the 2004 Montreal International Music Competition he received both the second grand prize and the prize for the best interpretation of a Canadian work.

He started taking piano lessons at the age of four and furthered his studies with Jacques Rouvier at the Conservatoire National Supérieur in Paris.
