a note from riccardo muti zell music director

Welcome to Symphony Center, home of the great Chicago Symphony Orchestra. As one who has advocated 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 concert, 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 orchestras 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 musical 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.

SEPTEMBER–NOVEMBER 2022

a 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 celebrate 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, performing 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 pianist 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.

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. 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.” Daniel Gingrich Associate Principal Horn

“ 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

“ 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

“ 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

“ 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

SEPTEMBER–NOVEMBER 2022

Muti leads the Chicago Symphony and Civic orchestras in rehearsal on the stage of the Jay Pritzker Pavilion at Millennium Park, September 20, 2018.

“ 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.”

“ 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

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

“ 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.” 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 “ . . . It sounded altogether opening festival with star-studded performances in its new, with a depth inaugural season that included over seventy concerts and spaciousness never by more than ninety artists and ensembles who came before heard here.” to perform in the self-proclaimed “Musical Heart of Chicago.” THE NEW YORK TIMES 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.

Born July 7, 1860; Kalischt, Bohemia Died May 18, 1911; Vienna, Austria

Symphony No. 7 Gustav Mahler composed music only during the summer, when he had time off from his job as director of the Vienna Court Opera, and every June he worried that he wouldn’t be able to write anything. For seven years, he and his family summered at Maiernigg, on the Wörthersee, where he courted inspiration by maintaining a precise and orderly routine. Every morning he rose at 5:30 and went for a swim in the lake (he liked to begin with a high dive and stay underwater as long as he could hold his breath). Afterward, he dressed and climbed the hill to his studio, a tiny hut deep in the woods, where his breakfast had been carefully placed on the table. For seven hours, he worked there without interruption on music his friends rarely understood. The summer of 1904 was the most productive of Mahler’s life. He finished his Sixth Symphony, began the Kindertotenlieder, and wrote two movements of the Seventh Symphony—the two nocturnes that became its second and fourth movements. But when he returned to Maiernigg the following June, he didn’t know how to continue with this symphony and, for the first time, he felt the desolation of being unable to compose a single measure of music, despite daily effort. After two weeks of blank pages and nervous pacing, he gave up and went hiking in the Dolomites (walking was one of his great pleasures, and it had gotten him through tough times before), but still, no music came to him. (“There I was led the same dance,” he told his wife, Alma.) He returned to Krumpendorf, on the shore opposite Maiernigg, convinced that the entire summer was lost. “You were not at Krumpendorf to meet me,” he later wrote to Alma, “because I had not let you know the time of my arrival. I got into the boat to be rowed across. At the first stroke of the oars, the theme (or rather the rhythm and character) of the introduction to the first movement came into my head.” In that moment, Mahler discovered the beginning of this symphony, with its haunted horn call over lapping waters, and he remembered how it felt to be filled with music and eager to work it out on paper. The floodgates opened. In four weeks, Mahler composed the remaining three movements—the ones we now know as the first, third, and fifth. By mid-August, his

COMMENTS

Seventh Symphony was completed in essence, if not in detail, and he returned to Vienna knowing that his holiday had been exceedingly well spent. The Seventh Symphony wasn’t performed for three years, during which time Mahler’s life was turned upside down. Although the summer of 1906 was highly productive—the massive Eighth Symphony was sketched in its entirety in just eight weeks—the following year brought disruption and tragedy. In March 1907, Mahler gave in to pressure from the administration of the Vienna Opera and rising anti-Semitism and resigned from his position as director of the company. (He then signed a contract with the Metropolitan Opera in New York to begin in the new year.) Shortly after Mahler and his family arrived in Maiernigg that summer, his four-year-old daughter Maria took ill with scarlet fever and died; a few days later, Mahler was diagnosed with a serious heart condition. Mahler quickly abandoned Maiernigg and rented a place at Toblach, in the Dolomites. He spent his days there reading a book of Chinese poems a friend had given him, and he attempted to follow the regimen of leisurely strolls and lean cuisine the doctors ordered. He wrote no music that summer. Mahler returned to Vienna, where he conducted Fidelio for the last time on October 15, bid farewell to the Viennese public with a performance of his Second Symphony on November 24, and left for New York in early December. He originally thought of giving the premiere of the Seventh Symphony in New York but reconsidered, explaining, “The Seventh is too complicated for a public which knows nothing of me.” (At that point, New Yorkers had heard only Mahler’s Fourth Symphony; the Chicago Symphony hadn’t even played any of Mahler’s music yet.) The premiere of the Seventh was then scheduled for September 19 in Prague as part of a festival honoring the sixtieth year of Emperor Franz Joseph’s reign. After spending the summer of 1908 in Toblach, Mahler traveled to Prague to begin rehearsals. The young conductor Otto Klemperer, who went to Prague to watch Mahler at work, later

recalled that around two dozen rehearsals were necessary to prepare this difficult new symphony. “Each day after rehearsal,” Klemperer wrote, “[Mahler] used to take the entire orchestral score home with him for revision, polishing, and retouching.” Rehearsals were somewhat chaotic, and the musicians were wary of Mahler’s demanding score; a brass player confronted the composer: “I’d just like to know what’s beautiful about blowing away at a trumpet stopped up to a high C-sharp.” Mahler had no answer, although he put a characteristically philosophical spin on the encounter when he wrote to Alma about man’s inability to understand the agony of his own existence. When Alma arrived in Prague a few days before the premiere, she found the hotel suite littered with orchestra parts and her husband a nervous wreck. The Seventh Symphony was received with respect rather than enthusiasm (the critic from Berlin was particularly hard on the work). When Mahler conducted the score in Munich a few weeks later, the response was similar, but the composer was not disheartened. He had learned to expect no more. In November 1909, Arnold Schoenberg attended the Vienna premiere of the Seventh conducted by Ferdinand Löwe. Schoenberg himself stood at the threshold of a new frontier in music—“I am conscious of having broken through every restriction of a bygone aesthetic,” he wrote that year. He had already abandoned tonality, a move of almost unfathomable consequences, and Mahler’s brave new score sounded to him like music from the old world. It struck him as “perfect repose based on perfect harmony. . . . I have put you with the classical composers—but as one who to me is still a pioneer.” Most listeners then, however, found Mahler’s music nearly as incomprehensible as Schoenberg’s, and the Seventh Symphony, in particular, took a long time to make friends. The Seventh has remained something of an outsider among Mahler’s symphonies. It is still the least well-known of the nine he completed; it is often the last one conductors learn and the one orchestras rarely play—with the possible exception of the Eighth, which is seldom SEPTEMBER–NOVEMBER 2022

performed simply because of the enormous forces it requires. When Frederick Stock and the Chicago Symphony performed the Seventh for the first time in April 1921, it had never before been played in this country.

Perhaps because of its jigsaw construction—further complicated by the composer’s bout with writer’s block—it lacks the sheer narrative sweep of Mahler’s other symphonies. Mahler’s working methods were always idiosyncratic, but the Seventh gave him particular trouble. He didn’t have a grand design in mind when he started composing it in 1904, and when he returned to the symphony the following summer, he apparently still hadn’t outlined the entire work. The three movements he wrote that year weren’t composed “in order,” and, according to Donald Mitchell, who has studied the composer’s manuscript, the first movement was the last one to be finished. Like its two immediate predecessors, the Seventh is purely instrumental; there’s no vocal text to suggest an extramusical topic, and Mahler never divulged a hidden program, even when pestered by colleagues and friends. The Seventh is sometimes called the Song of the Night; the title isn’t Mahler’s, but he once wrote to the Swiss critic William Ritter of the symphony’s “three night pieces” (referring to the central triptych) and of the finale as “bright day.” The Seventh Symphony is in five movements, a scheme Mahler had used most recently in his Fifth Symphony. This time he chose a symmetrical arrangement, with a dark and fiery scherzo at the center, surrounded by the two nocturnes and framed at either end by large and energetic movements (there is no true slow movement). Like the Fifth Symphony, the Seventh doesn’t end in the key in which it begins, but a half step higher—here moving from its brooding B minor introduction to the brilliant C major of the finale. The opening movement is the largest—a great journey through shadow and light, set in motion by the boatman’s oars at Maiernigg. A magnificent theme rises over the rhythm of the

22 NINETY-SECOND SEASON

rowing—“Here nature roars,” Mahler told Ritter. Mahler gave this melody to the tenor horn, an instrument with a dark and mysterious tone that he remembered from the military bands, which he often heard as a child when his family lived near an army barracks. This movement is one of Mahler’s most fantastic creations. The harmonies are bold and exotic, often built from superimposed fourths rather than thirds, like the chords Schoenberg coincidentally was using at the same time. For the last time, Mahler follows the itinerary of sonata form—he specifies that the rhapsodic second theme should be performed in precisely the same tempo as the first (a recommendation that is often ignored). His sense of fearless adventure gives this music its character and force, and it is marked throughout by resonant, glittering sonorities. At the height of the development section, Mahler stops to listen to the world around him; one hears only distant fanfares and the gentle hum of the night. Suddenly the harp reveals the sky, afire with stars. The first of the two movements that Mahler titled Night Music is a slow march through a nocturnal landscape; he once described it as a “night patrol.” It begins with horn calls echoing across the valley and is colored by cowbells and birdcalls—the sounds of nature that he so loved. Mahler said he wanted the cowbells to sound as distant as possible as if coming from far across the meadow. At one of the rehearsals in Prague, the composer asked to have a window closed because he was disturbed by a bird outside—“This one’s not in my score,” he said. At the beginning of the third movement, Mahler wrote Schattenhaft (shadowy). The darkest of his scherzos, this is a nightmare of waltz tunes and ländler. He filled these pages with ominous and grotesque effects; even the quietest passages are disturbed by startling thumps from the timpani and loud noises in the bassoons and tuba. A more genial trio offers a brief change of mood but no real relief. The second Night Music is a serenade in F major scored for chamber orchestra; a solo violin has the lover’s song, accompanied by the

COMMENTS

plucked strings of the mandolin, guitar, and harp. (Mahler conceived this music with the guitar in mind—Schoenberg later wrote that “the whole movement is based on this sonority”; the mandolin was an afterthought.) This is intimate, often delicate music, and Alma said that when her husband wrote it, he was “beset by Eichendorff-ish visions—murmuring springs and German romanticism.” In 1948, when Olin Downes, the conservative New York Times music critic, wrote disparagingly of Mahler’s Seventh Symphony, Arnold Schoenberg sent him an angry letter, offering the simple melodies from this movement as evidence of Mahler’s creative power. The finale instantly brings the “bright day” of C major. It opens in a blaze of timpani flourishes and horn fanfares; the effect is momentarily blinding, like “parting the curtains in a dark room and finding oneself dazzled by brilliant sunlight,” as Donald Mitchell suggests. The

music recalls—and practically quotes—Wagner’s prelude to Die Meistersinger; on at least one occasion, Mahler actually conducted the Wagner score and the symphony on the same program to underscore their affinity. The mood of Mahler’s finale, like Wagner’s opera, is joyous, occasionally riotous, and even playful. The nocturnal specter of the first movement returns near the end, but it only demonstrates, by contrast, the indomitable brilliance of the finale’s primary colors. This is the most openhearted, exuberant, and good-humored music of Mahler’s career, and by the time he conducted the premiere only three years after he had finished the symphony, it was a kind of music he could not ever write again.

of the work of UNO-Flüchtlingshilfe, the German partner of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. The Berliner Philharmoniker Foundation is supported by the State of Berlin, the German Federal Government, and its main sponsor Deutsche Bank.

Kirill Petrenko Conductor The Berliner Philharmoniker, founded in 1882 as a self-governing orchestra, has long been one of the world’s leading orchestras. The defining chief conductors in the first decades were Hans von Bülow, Arthur Nikisch, and Wilhelm Furtwängler, followed by Herbert von Karajan in 1955. Karajan developed the Berliner Philharmoniker’s unique sound aesthetic and performing culture, bringing the orchestra worldwide fame. In 1967 he founded the Berliner Philharmoniker Easter Festival, which has been held in Baden-Baden since 2013. Claudio Abbado was chief conductor from 1989 to 2002, placing new emphasis on concert programming and especially contemporary compositions. From 2002 to 2018, Sir Simon Rattle continued to expand the repertoire and established innovative concert formats. The platform Digital Concert Hall was launched in 2009, offering live broadcasts and a comprehensive video archive of Berliner Philharmoniker concerts. In 2014 the orchestra founded its own label, Berliner Philharmoniker Recordings. Kirill Petrenko became chief conductor of the Berliner Philharmoniker in 2019, focusing on classical-romantic repertoire, Russian music, and unjustly forgotten composers. An essential aspect for Kirill Petrenko is the Berliner Philharmoniker’s education program through which the orchestra reaches out to new audiences. As musical ambassador, the Berliner Philharmoniker supports UNO-Flüchtlingshilfe (UN Refugee Aid) in its commitment to helping refugees build safer, brighter futures. International refugee protection is at the heart

Kirill Petrenko has been chief conductor and artistic director of the Berliner Philharmoniker since 2019. Born in Omsk, Siberia, he received his training first in his hometown and later in Austria. Petrenko established his conducting career in opera at the Meininger Theater and the Komische Oper Berlin. From 2013 to 2020, he was music director of the Bayerische Staatsoper. He has made guest appearances at the world’s greatest venues, including Wiener Staatsoper, Covent Garden in London, the Opéra national in Paris, the Metropolitan Opera in New York, and the Bayreuth Festival. Petrenko has conducted the major international symphonies of Vienna, Munich, Dresden, Paris, Amsterdam, London, Rome, Chicago, Cleveland, and Israel. Since Petrenko’s debut with the Berliner Philharmoniker in 2006, various programmatic themes have emerged in his work with the orchestra along with the core classical-romantic repertoire. A highlight is Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, which Petrenko conducted at his inaugural concert as the orchestra’s new music director. His other areas of interest are unjustly forgotten composers, such as Josef Suk and Erich Wolfgang Korngold, and Russian works, with his recent performances of Tchaikovsky’s operas Mazeppa, Iolanta, and The Queen of Spades attracting particular attention.
