One of the great operas, Puccini’s Tosca is a compelling drama of a beautiful opera singer who strikes an unholy bargain with an evil and lecherous police chief in order to save her true love. When she has second thoughts, the results are bloody, deadly, and shocking.

Music Director

Principal Guest Conductor

January 2014 On behalf of the Miami Music Association trustees, and the entire staff of Cleveland Orchestra Miami, I am delighted to welcome you to the first concerts of our 2013-14 Season. It is our great privilege to present and support The Cleveland Orchestra, and to showcase its world-class musical gifts to the Miami community — especially during what is proving to be a period of great artistic growth for our city.

Appreciation for art of all kinds is flourishing in Miami-Dade County.

The community has responded with great enthusiasm to Cleveland Orchestra Miami’s annual presentations of one of the world’s best orchestras — filling our concerts to ninety percent capacity and supporting our mission with generous philanthropy. The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation has recognized our work with a major $2 million challenge grant designed to expand the base of support and create sustainability for the future.

Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs recently awarded Cleveland Orchestra Miami a generous $70,000 grant of support. And a growing number of Miami-Dade residents are choosing to contribute individual gifts toward our work — such annual gifts totaled over $2.9 million in 2013.

With such strong support, Miami Music Association is able to fulfill its mission by contributing to the artistic and cultural growth of our great community — bringing The Cleveland Orchestra back for four weeks of concerts each year, reaching tens of thousands of young people with our education programs, and developing new partnerships with other community institutions, from University of Miami Frost School of Music to Miami Music Project, and more!

Thank you for making Cleveland Orchestra Miami a valuable part of Miami’s cultural landscape. With your continued support, we look forward to a vibrant — and music-filled — future.

Best regards,

Sheldon T. Anderson President Miami Music Association

Franz Welser-Möst Music Director Kelvin Smith Family Endowed Chair The Cleveland Orchestra

The 2013-14 season marks Franz Welser-Möst’s twelfth year as music director of The Cleveland Orchestra, with a long-term commitment extending to the Orchestra’s centennial in 2018. Under his direction, the Orchestra is acclaimed for its continuing artistic excellence, is presented in a series of ongoing residencies in the United States and Europe, continues its championship of new composers through commissions and premieres, and has re-established itself as an important operatic ensemble. Concurrently with his Cleveland post, Mr. Welser-Möst is general music director of the Vienna State Opera.

Under Mr. Welser-Möst’s leadership, The Cleveland Orchestra has launched a series of residencies in important cultural locations around the world. These include residencies at Vienna’s Musikverein, at Switzerland’s Lucerne Festival, and a multi-week annual residency in Miami. Additional programs are held in partnership with the Lincoln Center Festival and Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music. The Orchestra’s annual appearances in Miami, under the name Cleveland Orchestra Miami, feature a season of concerts coupled with an extended variety of community activities and education programs.

Mr. Welser-Möst has led a series of opera performances during his tenure in Cleveland. Following six opera-in-concert presentations, he brought fully staged opera back to Severance Hall with a three-season cycle of Zurich Opera productions of the Mozart-Da Ponte operas. In May 2012, he led the Orchestra and an international cast of singers in acclaimed concert performances of Strauss’s Salome.

In addition to serving as general music director of the Vienna State Opera, Mr. Welser-Möst maintains an ongoing relationship with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. Recent concert performances with the Philharmonic include leading the Philharmonic’s 2011 and 2013 New Year’s concerts, as well as concerts in New York.

Mr. Welser-Möst’s recordings and videos have won international awards and two Grammy nominations. He has led The Cleveland Orchestra in video recordings of live performances of Bruckner’s Symphonies Nos. 4, 5, 7, 8, and 9, and also released albums featuring Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony and music by Wagner. A new project currently underway will record all four Brahms symphonies for telecast and DVD. For his talents and dedication, Mr. Welser-Möst has received honors that include recognition from the Western Law Center for Disability Rights, honorary membership in the Vienna Singverein, appointment as an Academician of the European Academy of Yuste, a Decoration of Honor from the Republic of Austria for his artistic achievements, and the Kilenyi Medal from the Bruckner Society of America. Mr. Welser-Möst is the co-author of Cadences: Observations and Conversations.

Music Director

2013-14 Cleveland Orchestra Miami

The Cleveland Orchestra Under the leadership of Music Director Franz Welser-Möst, The Cleveland Orchestra has become one of the most sought-after performing ensembles in the world. In concerts at its winter home at Severance Hall and at each summer’s Blossom Music Festival, in ongoing residencies from Miami to Vienna, and on tour around the world, the Orchestra sets the highest standards of artistic excellence, creative programming, and community engagement.

The Cleveland Orchestra has a long and distinguished recording and broadcast history. A series of DVD and CD recordings under the direction of Mr. Welser-Möst continues to add to an extensive and widely praised catalog of audio recordings made during the tenures of the ensemble’s earlier music directors. In addition, Cleveland Orchestra concerts are heard in syndication each season on radio stations throughout North America and Europe.

The Cleveland Orchestra was founded in 1918 by a group of local citizens intent on creating an ensemble worthy of joining America’s top rank of symphony orchestras. Over the next decades, the Orchestra grew from a fine regional organization to one of the most admired symphonic ensembles in the world. Seven music directors (Nikolai Sokoloff, 1918–1933; Artur Rodzinski, 1933–1943; Erich Leinsdorf, 1943–1946; George Szell, 1946–1970; Lorin Maazel, 1972–1982; Christoph von Dohnányi, 1984–2002; and Franz Welser-Möst, since 2002) have guided and shaped the ensemble’s growth and sound. Touring performances throughout the United States and, beginning in 1957, to Europe and across the globe have confirmed Cleveland’s place among the world’s top orchestras. Year-round performances became a reality with the first festival season at Blossom Music Center in 1968, presented at an award-winning, purpose-built outdoor facility located just south of the Cleveland metropolitan area near Akron, Ohio. Today, touring, residencies, radio broadcasts, and recordings provide access to the Orchestra’s music-making to a broad and loyal constituency around the world.

Franz Schubert, by Wilhelm August Rieder, oil painting from 1875, based on the artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own watercolor of 1825.

INTRODUCING THE PROGRAM

A Night in Vienna T H E C I T Y O F V I E N N A has spawned enough composers and witnessed the production of enough music to fill many seasons of concerts. Some of it is thunderous, like Beethoven, some of it heart-wrenching, like Mahler, some of it fit for all tastes, like Mozart. This Cleveland Orchestra program offers some Schubert, Viennese through and through, who is close to the Mozart model; then some Korngold, who moved to Vienna from Moravia, like Mahler, and wrote music of rich Romantic intensity, not unlike Mahler but more . . . obviously heart-on-his-sleeve. Unlike these are waltzes and polkas and such by Johann Strauss Jr. and his brother Josef, music that some might say is the epitome of Vienna’s lighter side. But these, too, can be serious studies (with fun, social commentary) in portraying our beautifully exciting world.

and his Fift h. During the period in which his carefully dated manuscript tells us the Second was composed, he celebrated his eighteenth birthday. Three months seems a long period for a composer as fluent as Schubert, but he had just taken a position as a schoolteacher and he was also composing a torrent of other works — masses, songs, choruses, operas — at the same time.

The symphony was dedicated to Dr. Innocenz Lang, director of the Vienna Stadtkonvikt, the school attached to the Imperial court where Schubert had been a pupil for five years.

In the school orchestra, in which he was concertmaster and occasionally conductor, young Franz had learned the essentials of orchestral practice, and it is probable that the Second Symphony was performed by them, although there is no document that tells us so. Otherwise, like so many of his works, it was not played until well after the composer’s death, when August Manns, conductor of the popular concert series at the Crystal Palace in London, presented all of Schubert’s early symphonies in the 1870s before they were even published.

These early symphonies invariably convey a sense of divine

At a Glance Schubert composed his Second Symphony between December 10, 1814, and March 24, 1815. It may have been performed at that time, at the school where Schubert was studying and helping out, but no certain evidence exists. The first known performance took place on October 20, 1877, at London’s Crystal Palace, under the direction of August Manns.

This symphony runs about 30 minutes in performance. Schubert scored it for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani, and strings.

fluency, as if the music simply flowed unbidden from Schubert’s pen, as indeed it surely did. There is never hesitation, and the melodies are graceful and beautifully shaped, with harmony that never jars. No wonder his music teacher at the Stadtkonvikt remarked, “He has learnt everything from God, that lad.”

The first movement’s Largo introduction provides a little weight, but nothing on the portentous scale of similar introductions in Beethoven’s symphonies, which Schubert must have had in mind, nor even those of Haydn. The weight, or at least the tension, that a symphony craves is found in the working out of the first movement, which is constructed on a key-scheme of Schubert’s own devising, not the conventional sonata form of most classical first movements. This enables him to extend the exposition and to juggle with unexpected key-changes. But the balance is perfectly contrived and the busy orchestral activity keeps the players on their toes. (The boys at the Stadtkonvikt must all have been as gifted as their young concertmaster.)

The slow movement is a set of variations, the only variations Schubert ever wrote for orchestra. The theme is song-like and perfectly symmetrical but for an extra bar in its second half, a subtle touch that leaves its inevitable mark on each of the five variations. The first variation gives the theme to the oboe and flute, the second to the cellos and basses; the third keeps the violins on a steady flow of meandering notes, and the fourth is heavier, with triplets in the minor key. Schubert saves his most ravishing scoring for the last variation, and a valedictory coda closes the movement.

The Minuet is almost entirely loud, to the Trio, whose oboe tune recalls the first variation of the movement before, as welcome relief. The finale sets off at top speed in the strings, and here Schubert adopts the same unconventional plan as in his first movement. Perhaps this is a private joke to tease those of his hearers who care about such things as sub-dominants, but it is no hindrance for the rest of us to enjoy its effervescent vitality and wonder at the busy energy of an orchestra at full gallop.

Violin Concerto in D major, Opus 35 composed 1937-39, revised 1945 L I K E M E N D E L S S O H N ’s ever-popular Violin Concerto, Korn-

by

Erich Wolfgang

KORNGOLD born May 29, 1897 Brno (now in the Czech Republic)

died November 29, 1957 Hollywood, California

gold’s Violin Concerto is the late work of a prodigy that defies any suggestion that its composer lost his flair once that brilliant childhood was past. Part of the very rich Viennese tradition in which Korngold was brought up took it for granted that great artists were endowed with a complete command of their technical resources; another part assumed that great art was richly expressive. So in the wake of Richard Wagner’s musical works and in the shadow of Strauss and Mahler, the young Korngold displayed prodigious gifts of musical invention, a masterly handling of voices and instruments, and an unquestioning devotion to full-blooded romantic expression.

Perfect for Hollywood, we may say with hindsight, although we should remember that the extraordinary sophistication and romantic energy that characterizes film scores of the 1930s and ’40s was, in fact, largely the creation of Korngold and other refugees from European opera houses. His twenty-three film scores, mostly for Warner Brothers, were not a betrayal of his Viennese upbringing — as many waspish critics suggested — but an extension of the very aesthetic he had always lived by and within.

Conversely, his studio work enriched his symphonic output. No piece illustrates this more clearly than the Violin Concerto, all three of whose movements draw on themes from films produced between 1937 and 1939. Or did the film scores draw on themes from the concerto? The origins of the concerto are not clear, although the great violinist Huberman had been urging Korngold to write a concerto for years. By 1945, when Korngold decided to give the work its final form, Huberman’s best years were over, and so it was Jascha Heifetz who was entrusted with the first performance. This took place in St. Louis on February 15, 1947, with performances shortly thereafter in Chicago and New York. In 1953, Heifetz made a magnificent recording, still unsurpassed despite the many fine recordings that have emerged in recent years.

Korngold chose to create in D major, the favorite key of so many great violin concertos (Beethoven, Brahms, and more), and the customary three-movement scheme. In classic style, the first movement is lyrical and energetic in turn, the second

Violinist Bronisław Huberman

At a Glance Korngold wrote his Violin Concerto between 1937 and 1939, revising and completing the score in 1945. In it, he utilized several musical ideas borrowed from his own movie scores (some of which may have originally been intended for a concerto), including Another Dawn, Juarez, and The Prince and the Pauper. The concerto’s first perfomance was given by Jascha Heifetz and the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Vladimir Golschmann, on February 15, 1947. The published score is dedicated to Alma Mahler-Werfel.

This concerto runs about 25 minutes in performance.

Korngold scored it for 2 flutes (second doubling piccolo), 2 oboes (second doubling english horn), 2 clarinets, bass clarinet, 2 bassoons (second doubling contrabassoon), 4 horns, 2 trumpets, trombone, timpani, percussion (bass drum, cymbal, vibraphone, xylophone, bells, chimes), harp, celesta, and strings, plus the violin soloist.

is a sublimely beautiful Romance in the key of G, and the finale is rousing and spirited, with more than a hint of a folk dance.

The soloist is called on to display an extreme virtuosity throughout, with much of the solo line set in the highest range, where the violin, alone of all instruments, can sing with its pure, angelic voice. The orchestra rarely occupies the foreground, but the richness of its accompanying colors, especially from the vibraphone, xylophone, harp, and celesta, gives magical support.

The concerto was dedicated to Alma Mahler-Werfel, widow of Gustav Mahler and, after 1945, of Franz Werfel. During the war, she and Werfel were, like Korngold, members of the Viennese expatriate community living in Hollywood.

About the Music

2013-14 Cleveland Orchestra Miami

Gil Shaham Acclaimed as one of today’s most virtuosic and engaging artists, American violinist Gil Shaham is sought after throughout the world for concerto, ensemble, and recital performances. He made his Cleveland Orchestra debut in April 1988. His most recent previous appearances with the Orchestra were at Severance Hall in February 2009 and at Blossom in August 2013. In May 2012, he stepped in for an ailing colleague at short notice to play Brahms’s Violin Concerto with The Cleveland Orchestra under Franz WelserMöst’s direction at Carnegie Hall.

Born in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, in 1971, Gil Shaham later moved with his parents to Israel. At age 7, he began violin studies at the Rubin Academy of Music with Samuel Bernstein. In 1981, while studying with Haim Taub in Jerusalem, he made debuts with the Jerusalem Symphony and the Israel Philharmonic. That same year, he began working with Dorothy DeLay and Jens Ellerman at Aspen. In 1982, after receiving first prize in Israel’s Claremont Competition, Gil Shaham became a scholarship student at the Juilliard School, where he worked with Ms. DeLay and Hyo Kang. He also studied at Columbia University. His honors include the 1990 Avery Fisher Career Grant and 2008 Avery Fisher Prize.

Mr. Shaham appears regularly with the world’s major orchestras. This past season, he continued his exploration of violin concertos of the 1930s, a project he began in 2010, performing works by Barber, Berg, Britten, Prokofiev, and Stravinsky with the orchestras of Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Kansas City, Montreal, New York, and San Francisco, as well as the NHK Symphony and Orchestre de Paris. His recent and upcoming schedule also includes engagements with the orchestras of Cincinnati, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Seattle, and Toronto.

Gil Shaham is an avid recitalist and chamber musician. During recent recital tours in the U.S., Europe, and Japan, he has performed solo compositions by Bach and a new work by William Bolcom, as well as duo works by Avner Dorman and Julian Milone with pianist Akria Euguchi.

Mr. Shaham’s more than two dozen concerto and solo recordings have earned many awards, including multiple Grammys, a Grand Prix du Disque, Diapason d’or, and Gramophone Editor’s Choice Award. His recent albums include concertos by Barber, Berg, and Stravinsky and are featured on Canary Classics, a label he founded in 2004. His newest recording, Niggunim: Hebrew Melodies, features his sister, Orli Shaham, in performances of traditional and modern Jewish music.

Mr. Shaham plays the 1699 “Countess Polignac” Stradivarius. He lives in New York City with his wife, violinist Adele Anthony, and their three children.

was dominated by two forms of popular music — the operetta and the waltz. Both were much discussed in the city’s famous coffee shops, and their best tunes were written up for performance everywhere — at home, in the streets and parklands, as well as in theaters, ballrooms, and casinos. A great “Golden Age” of operetta blossomed in the city beginning in the 1860s. Johann Strauss Jr., then at the height of his popularity, turned his attention to the theater as Vienna’s economy boomed throughout the next decade. He and his chief rival, Franz von Suppé, created new works for each theater season, often including topical commentary on contemporary events (carefully veiled from the government’s censors behind humor and witty transposition of character or country).

The waltz swept across Europe in the closing decades of the 18th century. The word itself came from the German verb walzen, which was originally not much more specific than the English word “dance.” Eventually, faster waltzing overtook the slower minuet in popularity, and the verb became a noun, first in English and then in German. Although he wrote dance music, Mozart never called any of his pieces a waltz. Beethoven wrote a few, but still called them dances (tanzen). In 1819, Carl Maria von Weber wrote a piano piece titled Invitation to the Dance. Its popularity, first as a piano piece and then as orchestrated by Berlioz, set the pattern for what quickly became the typical Viennese waltz — not one dance, but a string of dance tunes written together as a group, often alternating slower and faster sections, with the various tunes and sections repeated and developed . . . almost like a short symphony.

The waltz carried forward on successive waves of renewed popularity throughout the 19th century, propelled by the artistry and showmanship of one particular family of composers, beginning with Johann Strauss Sr. (1804-1849). His touring orchestra, along with that of his even more famous son, Johann Jr., spread the waltz craze throughout Europe and even to American shores.

Among the factors that helped keep the waltz fresh and new for more than a century was the adaptability of subject matter portrayed. After composing on such obvious subjects as the changing seasons, favorite places (rivers, woods, and naAbout the Music

tions), women, and galloping horsemen, the Strausses learned to watch for new fads and inventions. Pieces were written about trains and locomotives, about bicycles (or velocipedes, as they were known when Europe enthusiastically embraced them in the 1870s), and other modern contrivances and discoveries. In part, music as a language very much allowed for subtle social commentary that was difficult for government censors to prove or prevent.

We begin with Aus den Bergen [From the Mountains], a waltz that Johann Strauss Jr. composed in 1864 and premiered as part of a lucrative season of concerts he presented in Pavlovsk, Russia, with his orchestra. He dedicated the piece to Eduard Hanslick, a notedly thorny music critic in Vienna, who had earlier taken Johann Jr. to task for writing “waltz requiems” with overly large orchestras. Often enough, however, it seems that Hanslick had good things to say about Strauss’s music — or Strauss was intent on making a peace offering. The work was given its Viennese premiere in December 1864 as part of celebrations surrounding Johann Jr.’s 20th anniversary of first conducting concerts at the city’s Dommayer Casino.

Next we have a musical excerpt, in the form of a Hungarian Czárdas from Ritter Pázmán [“Knight Pazman”], Johann Jr.’s only opera (without any spoken dialogue). The entire work was premiered on New Year’s Day 1892, and, although Strauss’s music was generally well received, the opera itself was panned for the sluggishness of its storyline and its overly ornate text.

Strauss, ever the musician and businessman, soon enough excerpted some of the opera’s best tunes and rhythms into independent works for his concerts, including this rhythmically delightful dance.

Die Libelle [The Dragonfly] is a creation by Johann’s younger — and temperamentally more serious — brother. Growing up, Josef intended not to follow in his father’s and brother’s footsteps and originally trained to be an engineer. Still, the family business beckoned him and his talents. After playing in the orchestra and composing several works, he tried once more to walk away, but . . . the arts kept calling to him. This particular polka from 1866, in the Polish mazurka style, seems a steady and semi-serious work, of a dragonfly buzzing about its business (or perhaps everyone’s business), here a little, there a while, then gone.

About the Music

It has been said that the waltz was 19th-century Vienna’s “social opiate,” continually calling its listeners (and dancers) back for more.

And, indeed, Vienna’s orchestral bon-bons — along with strudel and a strong coffeehouse drink — are intoxicatingly good.

hann Jr., who dedicated it to his second wife, Angelika Dittrich. The piece strings together several tunes from Strauss’s very popular comic operetta The Merry War. The “war” onstage is in fact an on-again offagain flirtation between a Colonel commanding the forces of one army and a well-to-do widow of a neighboring nation. Thus, we can enjoy the longing melodies, the hesitant musical dalliances, the lingering of this music, all in anticipation of the deal-sealing kiss.

Our evening’s concert closes with Strauss’s Overture to Die Fledermaus (“The Bat”), premiered in 1874. The operetta’s storyline of disguises, romantic trysts, and mistaken identities, plus a full-fledged party onstage — with, of course, a series of great melodies — have made it one of Strauss’s most popular works. The overture features some of its best tunes, all mixed together as a perfectly exciting prelude to much fun and merriment and musical gifts.

INTRODUCING THE PROGRAM

Poetry, Song & Dance

THIS WEEKEND’S CONCERTS

draw together three of classical music’s great innovators from the turn of the 19th to the 20th century. A hundred years later, the “newness” of their music varies, as we have embraced some ideas — but can still be shocked by others. Richard Strauss was a daring young composer, utilizing enormous orchestral forces and dissonance with an assured flair and ideal understanding of vocal lines. (That in old age he was considered conservative and old-fashioned is not an issue for this week’s selections.) Claude Debussy brought Impressionism to music, “painting” sketches that can feel as fully formed as any Realism. Igor Stravinsky, like Strauss, went through stages in his life. Our concerts end with the biggest explosion of his youth, the dynamic, convulsive, and highly-charged score to The Rite of Spring.

tive of men, especially on the podium, where the movement of a single finger would serve where other conductors would semaphore with both arms and dance with both feet. Did he have a heart, one might wonder? Did he convey all that passion and drama and violence in his operas while sustaining the most perfect coolness in himself?

He liked his comfortable bourgeois life and was not afraid to depict it in such pieces as the Sinfonia domestica, where the trivialities of family life are portrayed in music of intricate sophistication. Not trivialities, he would say — the relationships of men, women, and children in the home are central to the lives of all of us and deserve elevation in art.

But before he married (the marriage lasted 55 years), Strauss was a young blood whose pursuit of women was also worth portraying in music. There is no reason to think that his conquests were in any way legendary, but the sensational tone-poem Don Juan, his first unmistakable masterpiece, took the best known of all Lotharios as the subject of a morality tale with certain autobiographical overtones.

narrate four or five different amours, while in real life Strauss himself was more focused on a single lady, Dora Wihan, née Weis, a young divorcée. Their affair lasted about four years, including the period in which this music was written.

The central character, Don Juan, is the Spanish rake familiar from innumerable plays and operas, by Molière and Mozart among many others. But Strauss’s source was an unfinished play by a 19th-century Austrian poet, Nikolaus Lenau, in which there is no Commendatore, no statue, and no dinner. Don Juan lives always for the moment: “Passion is always and only the new passion; it cannot be carried from this one to that; it must die here and spring anew there; it knows nothing of repentance.”

Disillusionment eventually takes over, and the Don awaits the enemy (a certain Don Pedro) who will spare him the prospect of a futile life ahead.

The final section of the music represents the duel in which Don Juan, though victorious, throws his rapier away and allows Pedro to pierce him through the heart.

To begin, there is no sugDon Juan as Mozart’s Don Giovanni, gestion of regret or conscience,

by Max Slevogt, 1912, oil on canvas. merely the exuberance of viril(Alte Nationalgalerie, Berlin) ity and youth, expressed with tremendous brilliance by a virtuoso orchestra. There are two full-blown love scenes, a carnival, and moments of reflection, even remorse. At its height, the music can represent Don Juan as more than a master seducer — he is a valiant hero, a fact made abundantly clear with a theme grandly pronounced by four horns in unison.

Don Juan was an immediate success and it brought Strauss’s name to the forefront everywhere. It was, in fact, his first megahit. In the next twenty years, he continued to produce a series of grand orchestral works, followed by some brazenly modern operas, and he was universally regarded for many years as the greatest of living composers.

About the Music

At a Glance Strauss wrote most of Don Juan during 1888 (he may have begun sketching parts of it as early as the fall of 1887), and completed the orchestration in 1889. He conducted the work’s premiere on November 11,1889, at the Weimar Hopfkapelle.

Published in 1890, Don Juan is dedicated to Strauss’s friend Ludwig Thuille.

Don Juan runs about 15 minutes in performance.

Strauss scored it for 2 flutes, piccolo (doubling third flute), 2 oboes, english horn, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, contrabassoon, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion (triangle, cymbals, bells), harp, and strings.

The Cleveland Orchestra has recorded Don Juan three times: in 1957 with George Szell, in 1979 with Lorin Maazel, and in 1989 with Vladimir Ashkenazy.

almost two hundred songs across his long life, the majority of them before he was known as an opera composer. It was in his songs, in fact, that his exceptional understanding for poetry combining with vocal expression was forged. A few, such as the famous Four Last Songs, were composed with orchestral accompaniment, but most were created for piano alone. Strauss orchestrated a number himself, while additional ones were orchestrated by other musicians, with the composer’s approval. Of the six songs in this weekend’s collection, the first and sixth were composed with orchestra originally, the second, third, and fift h later orchestrated by Strauss himself, and the fourth was orchestrated by Robert Heger in 1935.

Hymnus — this poem was once attributed to Schiller, but the true author is not known. Composed in Munich in 1897, the song is a full-blooded invocation to the goddess/muse of inspiration that has given the poet a “stringed instrument” with which to sing her praises, until death (grimly illustrated) brings all to an end. Naturally, the harp is prominent.

Ruhe, meine Seele! [Rest, My Soul!] — poem by Karl Henckell, composed in Weimar in 1894, and orchestrated at the end of the composer’s life in 1948. The spirit is urged to withstand its torments and find repose. Strauss supports the voice with somber chords and bell-like entries, most luminous on the word “Sonnenschein.”

Des Dichters Abendgang [Of the Poet’s Evening Walk] — with a poem by Ludwig Uhland, this song was composed in Berlin in 1900, orchestrated in 1918. The poet on his evening walk is portrayed by a repetitive figure in the middle texture that continues throughout the song, while the glorious sunset he invokes is given Strauss’s full majestic treatment.

Traum durch die Dämmerung [Dreaming Through the Twilight] — to a poem by Otto Julius Bierbaum, Strauss composed this song in Munich in 1895; it was orchestrated by Robert Heger in 1935. Bierbaum was one of Strauss’s friends, who liked to write frivolous verse for operetta, but Strauss turns this image of a lover idling through the twilight into a beautiful nostalgic song, with a persistent, unhurried figure heard throughout.

Morgen! [Tomorrow] — working with a poem by John About the Music

2013-14 Cleveland Orchestra Miami

Paulina de Ahna, Strauss’s wife. She met him by signing up for private singing lessons. Their courtship was filled with disagreements, and she had a reputation for being stern and bossy throughout her life, but he wrote many songs and operatic roles for her and they had a long and agreeable marriage. Strauss gave her a wedding gift of four of his songs in 1894, including two on this concert: Ruhe, meine Seele! and Morgen!

Henry Mackay, Strauss composed this song in Weimar in 1894, and orchestrated it for three horns, harp, solo violin, and strings in 1897. Mackay, born in Scotland, was a poet of the anarchist left, yet Strauss preferred to set his more Romantic texts. The lovely melody, perfect for a solo violin, is heard twice, while the voice seems merely to comment on it and add some recitative at the end. This song, along with Ruhe, meine Seele! and two others, was offered to Strauss’s wife, Paulina, as a wedding gift. She gave the first performance of the orchestral version in November 1897 in Brussels.

Pilgers Morgenlied [Pilgrim’s Morning Song] — poem

by Goethe, composed in the same set as Hymnus in 1897, and scored with equal richness. The pilgrim sings to his Lila a love song that modulates into a song addressed to love itself.

Hymnus composed for voice and orchestra 1896-97 to text once attributed to Friedrich Schiller (1788-1805) Dass du mein Auge wecktest zu diesem goldenen Lichte, Dass mich dein Äther umfliesst; Dass ich zu deinem Äther Hinauf einen Menschenblick richte, Der ihn edler geniesst; Dass du einen unsterbliches Geist, Der dich, Göttliche, denket und in die schlagend Brust, Gütige, mir des Schmerzes wohlhät’ge Warnung Geschenket und diebelohnende Lust; Dass du des Geistes Gedanken, Des Herzens Gefühle zu tönen Mir ein Saitenspiel gabst, Kränze des Ruhms und das buhlende Glück Deinen stolzeren Söhnen, Mir ein Saitenspiel gabst; Dass dem trunkenen Sinn, von hoher Begeistrung beflügelt, Schöner das Leben sich malt, Schöner in der Dichtung Krystall die Wahrheit sich spiegelt, Heller die dämmernde strahlt: Grosse Göttin, dafür soll, Bis die Parzen mich fodern, Dieses Herzens Gefühl, Zarter Kindlichkeit voll, In dankbarem Strahle dir lodern, Soll aus dem goldenen Spiel Unerschöpflich dein Preis, Erhabne Bidnerin, fliessen, Soll dieser denkende Geist An dein mütterlich Herz In reiner Umarmung sich schliessen, Bis der Tod sie zerreisst!

That you drew my eye to the golden light which glows around me; that to your heavenly light I may lift my humble gaze, and ennoble myself; that you are an immortal spirit, that you, so divine, contemplate and in my pulsing chest, graciously gave me pain as a useful warning to steal joy and reward pleasure; to the spiritual you gave thought, and to voice heartfelt feelings you gave me a harp, laurel wreaths of glory and the sweet success you gave your prouder sons, but to me you gave the harp; drunk-filled with emotion, high-spirited with inspiration, life becomes more beautiful, beautiful as poetry clearly mirroring the truth, shines bright the reflection: Great Goddess, thus, until fate come for me, this heart beats for you, tender as a child’s, in flames of gratitude I glow, playing the golden harp forever sounding your praise; sublime Creator-Goddess, continue, so that this creative mind to your motherly heart can nestle in pure embrace until death renders us parted!

Not a breeze blows soft ly, gently slumbering stands the forest; Through the leaves and dark canopy steals the bright sunshine.

Ruhe, ruhe, Meine Seele, Deine Stürme Gingen wild, Hast getobt und Hast gezittert, Wie die Brandung, Wenn sie schwillt.

Go strolling in evening’s light (this is the time for poet’s bliss), then turn your face to the glory of the setting sun!

In hoher Feier schwebt dein Geist, Du schauest in des Tempels Hallen, Wo alles Heilge sich erschliesst Und himmlische Gebilde walden.

In great celebration your spirits soar, as you look into the temple’s hall, where everything holy reveals itself and celestial forms float above.

Wann aber um das Heiligtum Die dunkeln Wolken nieder rollen, Dann ist’s vollbracht, du kehrest um, Beseligt von dem Wundervollen.

Yet sometimes, across the sanctuary dark clouds roll down; when it is over, you shall turn around, enraptured by such wonders.

In stiller Rührung wirst du gehn, Du trägst in dir des Liedes Segen; Das Lichte, das du dort gesehn, Umglänzt dich mild auf finstern Wegen.

Quietly, filled with emotion, you go, carrying within you a song of blessing; the light that you saw there, burns within you still, as you journey on.

Broad meadows in the gray twilight; the sun’s glow recedes, the stars appear, now I return to the most beautiful woman, crossing the meadows in graying twilight, through bushes infused with jasmine.

Durch Dämmergrau in der Liebe Land; ich gehe nicht schnell, ich eile nicht; mich zieht ein weiches samtenes Band durch Dämmergrau in der Liebe Land, in ein blaues, mildes Licht.

Symphonic Fragments from The Martyrdom of Saint Sébastien extracted in 1914 from the ballet premiered in 1911 THE YEARS LEADING UP TO

by

Claude

DEBUSSY born August 22, 1862 St. Germain-en-Laye, France died March 25, 1918 Paris

50

World War I saw a torrent of theatrical experiment in Europe in opera, ballet, and drama to which Claude Debussy yearned ceaselessly to contribute. He worked on two operas based on Edgar Allan Poe, but both were left as mere sketches despite many attempts to complete them and a real if spasmodic determination to do so. A number of other theatrical ideas came and went, some not even started.

Of the projects that Debussy did complete, one of the most characteristic came from the Italian poet and dramatist Gabriele d’Annunzio, whose reputation as a decadent placed him somewhat parallel to Oscar Wilde in England. Like Wilde, d’Annunzio spoke French well enough to write it in an elevated, rarefied style. Though born of wealthy parents, he was driven from Italy by his creditors in 1910 and moved to Paris at a time when new ideas in the theater were greatly influenced by leading dancers. During the Russian season in Paris in June 1910, when a myriad of Russian artists presented a series of productions and exhibitions, d’Annunzio met the dancer Ida Rubinstein, who was then a member of Sergei Diaghilev’s celebrated ballet company.

Despite her reputation as a sensational performer, Rubinstein was feeling outclassed by Pavlova, Karsavina, and others, and was ready to break out on her own. She decided to form a new company in order to present a modern work bringing together the talents of Fokine as choreographer, Bakst as designer, and d’Annunzio as author in a retelling of the myth of St. Sébastien, which d’Annunzio had long wanted to write. Rubinstein was determined to play the role of the martyred saint herself. Their first two choices for composer turned the project down, which may be why Debussy, when invited, was less than enthusiastic.

At the time, Debussy was already grappling with another difficult project conceived by a dancer — Khamma, for the eccentric Canadian Maud Allan — a task he had accepted purely for the money. The big fee offered for Ida Rubinstein’s new show was similarly too good to turn down. In addition, Debussy described d’Annunzio as “a kind of irresistible whirlwind.” The About the Music

2013-14 Cleveland Orchestra Miami

composer signed a contract in January 1911, knowing that the performance was already scheduled for May. Being by nature a slow worker, Debussy had to buckle down and turn out a substantial score in short order. For much of the orchestration, therefore, he enlisted the help of André Caplet, a talented younger composer who was also at that time conductor of the Boston Opera. Caplet was in charge of conducting the performances.

As the final rehearsals approached, the elaborate sets and costumes and the director’s ideas about movement were found to make it impossible for the chorus to see the conductor, yet the designer was unwilling or unable to make changes.

Then a week before the opening night, the Archbishop of Paris forbade Catholics to attend the theater under penalty of excommunication, and all of d’Annunzio’s works were placed on the papal index of proscribed books. Author and composer, neither of them devout, protested that their work was deeply religious and “glorified not just Christ’s wonderful athlete but all Christian heroism.”

Debussy himself, always reserved about his faith, confessed that the subject of St. Sébastien seduced him by its blend of intense life and Christian faith, while D’Annunzio went much further, for he had a pronounced taste for cruelty and masochism, especially in early Christian history, and he was fascinated by the exquisite pleasure the saint feels as he faces death from the Emperor Diocletian’s archers.

St. Sébastien impaled by arrows is a familiar image from countless paintings in our museums, based on a myth from the third century, but much of the drama had to be newly devised to fill out the slender historical record. The parallel with Wilde Saint Sebastian, by Andrea Mantegna, 1480, oil on canvas. is again striking, since the biblical story (Musée du Louvre, Paris) of Salome provided few of the dramatic Cleveland Orchestra Miami 2013-14

About the Music

51

At a Glance Debussy wrote the music for the ballet Le Martyre de Saint Sébastien in early 1911 on a commission from Ida Rubinstein, to a text fashioned by Gabriele d’Annunzio and with design concepts by Leon Bakst.

The premiere took place on May 22, 1911, at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris, conducted by André Caplet, with Rubinstein dancing and portraying the title character. Debussy later extracted Four Symphonic Fragments from the work as pieces for the concert hall. They were first performed on January 4, 1914, in Prague, conducted

by Edgard Varèse.

These four symphonic pieces together run about 20 minutes in performance.

Debussy scored them for 4 flutes (third and fourth doubling piccolo), 2 oboes, english horn, 3 clarinets, bass clarinet, 3 bassoons, contrabassoon, 6 horns, 4 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion (bass drum, cymbals, tamtam), 3 harps, celesta, and strings.

52

(or disturbing) nuances that his well-known play (followed by Strauss’s opera) portrayed.

The characters in d’Annunzio’s drama sing, dance, and recite. Ida Rubinstein herself only recited and danced. The show was immensely long, nearly five hours at the first performance, since d’Annunzio had provided thousands of lines of mystical verse, which were interspersed with choral and orchestral episodes. The score called for a large orchestra, like that of so many ballets of the period.

After the first performance many cuts were made, and the work was withdrawn after the ninth performance to make way for the Ballets Russes, who were booked into the same theater.

Debussy prepared an abridged concert version, which was performed in 1912, and he also contemplated a version with continuous music as an opera, which was never done.

The work’s recent editors describe it as leaving “a certain impression of never having been finished.” Also in 1912, Debussy extracted four “symphonic fragments,” the form in which the music has been most frequently heard. The first fragment is the prelude to Act I, solemn and severe in character. Chains of parallel chords in the winds set the tone, and the six horns enter on the three-note motif to which the chorus will later sing “Sé-bas-tien!” The harps provide a soft blanket of sound for some exploratory melodies in the english horn and oboe.

The Danse extatique et Final du 1er Acte [“Ecstatic Dance and Finale of Act One”] begins with agitated music for the saint’s address to his persecutors. Then a solo trumpet represents the twins whom Sébastien converts to Christianity, and the violins respond with the song of five virgins. The next section is Sébastien’s miraculous dance on a bed of embers, with a hymn sung in the style of ancient polyphony by a “seraphic choir.”

Their final hymn of praise is heard on three trumpets.

La Passion is a reenactment of the scene in the Garden of Gethsemane. The tone is tragic and intense, with that language of dense harmony that Debussy had himself created, foreboding in the low registers, luminous in the upper instruments.

The timpani mark moments of terrifying crisis.

Le Bon Pasteur [“The Good Shepherd”] opens with a dolorous theme for the english horn and some shimmering sounds for the strings. Heavy rumblings reduce the english horn’s theme to some broken fragments. This is the moment when the stage reveals the saint tied to a laurel tree where he About the Music

2013-14 Cleveland Orchestra Miami

pleads with the Emperor’s archers to empty their quivers and hasten his death. A vision of the Good Shepherd appears in the branches of the tree, carrying a lamb around his shoulders. With some slow almost motionless chords, the vision fades to nothing.

Debussy’s symphonic fragments are indeed fragmentary, but not truly symphonic since they display none of the variety of pace and activity that we expect in a symphony. Their consistently mysterious, mystical tone is a reflection of the veiled, allusive drama that obsessed d’Annunzio, vividly representative of the literary tastes of his time. In music there is no better evocation of that rich, decadent culture than Debussy’s later works, a culture that was about to be shaken to its roots by World War I. —Hugh Macdonald © 2014

sits at the head of classic 20th-century orchestral masterpieces and will never be dislodged from that throne. Once thought to be beyond the pale of modernity, it has long been accepted as a thrilling concert work. Nevertheless, we can never re-create the effect of surprise that so profoundly disturbed its first audience in Paris in May 1913. They came to watch a Diaghilev ballet and were soon divided into opposing camps, some horrified, some ecstatic with admiration. Yes, the music was unexpectedly different, but even more, the choreography created by Nijinsky was a conscious attempt to revive primitive movement and steps, the very opposite of what every ballet school had trained their dancers to do. Evenso, to this day no ballet interpretation can compete on equal terms with this music; The Joffrey Ballet’s recreation of the original version, as good and as moving as it is (The Cleveland Orchestra and Joffrey performed it together as part of the 2013 Blossom Music Festival in Ohio), can only be witnessed by humans 100 years more sophisticated than those of 1913. It is thus in the concert hall and in recordings that The Rite of Spring continues to enjoy its greatest popularity and scandalous success, as daring music of incredible creativity.

Large orchestras had been around since Wagner started his four-opera Ring of the Nibelung cycle, and had been normal since Strauss’s Ein Heldenleben (“A Hero’s Life”). A ballet based on Russian folk themes using an oversize orchestra would not have occasioned any surprise if Stravinsky had not invested every bar with a distraught tension generated by intensive chromaticism and, even in the slow sections, disturbing rhythmic dislocations. Repetition and riff replaced the traditional structure of themes.

Stravinsky, for his part, found the whole process perfectly normal. His vision of primitive Russia and the elemental force of the Russian spring seemed to him complete justification for the appropriate expression in music designed to serve the stage action. He did not set out to shock or outrage. He simply wrote down what he heard as a product of what his mind’s eye saw.

“I am the vessel through which Le Sacre passed,” he said with About the Music

alarming self-abasement.

Stravinsky described the origins of the idea: “I saw in imagination a solemn pagan rite: wise elders, seated in a circle, watching a young girl dance herself to death. They were sacrificing her to propitiate the god of spring.” The eventual scenario was worked out in collaboration with Nikolai Roerich, an archeologist with a special knowledge of prehistoric Russia.

The ballet’s sections are as follows: Part I. The Adoration of the Earth Introduction Auguries of Spring (Dances of the Young Girls) Mock Abduction Round Dance Ritual of the Rival Tribes Procession of the Wise Elder Adoration of the Earth Dance of the Earth Part II. The Sacrifice Introduction Mystic Circle of the Young Girls Glorification of the Chosen Victim The Summoning of the Ancestors Ritual of the Ancestors Sacrificial Dance (The Chosen One)

The sections run into one another, but are not easy to identify while listening. There is not much pause for breath or repose.

Russian folksong lies behind many of the themes. Auguries of Spring introduces a famously dissonant chord stamped out by the strings and punctuated by eight horns. The Round Dance of Spring is broad and ponderous and the Procession of the Wise Elder has a relentless heavy tread beneath an ungainly tune on tenor and bass tubas. Part II begins with some ravishing sounds from the woodwinds and divided strings in a steady flow of even notes.

Elsewhere, the rhythms are constantly broken up and fragmented, especially in the final Sacrificial Dance, the fury of which touches on a primeval violence quite new to music at that time.

It is curious to reflect that Stravinsky, in his outward style the doyen of 20th-century cosmopolitan sophisticates, was tapping into a source of some atavistic life-force as threatening and as brutal as anything history had ever witnessed. Yet World War I was shortly to make this horrific vision a reality.

At a Glance Stravinsky wrote the scenario to the ballet Le Sacre du Printemps [“The Rite of Spring”] in collaboration with the painter-writer Nikolai Roerich in 1910-11 and composed the music in 191213. It was first performed on May 29, 1913, by Sergei Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes at the Théâtre des ChampsÉlysées in Paris, with Pierre Monteux conducting. The sets were by Roerich, and the choreography by Vaslav Nijinsky.

The Rite of Spring runs about 30 minutes in performance. Stravinsky scored it for piccolo, 3 flutes (one doubling second piccolo), alto flute, 4 oboes (one doubling second english horn), english horn, small clarinet in E-flat, 3 clarinets (one doubling second bass clarinet), bass clarinet, 4 bassoons (one doubling second contrabassoon), contrabassoon, 8 horns (two doubling tenor tubas), 4 trumpets (one doubling bass trumpet), piccolo trumpet, 3 trombones, 2 tubas, timpani, percussion (bass drum, tambourine, cymbals, antique cymbals, triangle, tam-tam, güiro [a scraped gourd]), and strings.

The Cleveland Orchestra recorded The Rite of Spring with Pierre Boulez in 1969, with Lorin Maazel in 1980, with Riccardo Chailly in 1985, and with Boulez again in 1991.

“The sellout audience was there for . . . the Ninth Symphony of Beethoven.

The Ninth retains an enormous power to be an unforgettable event. . . .

And The Cleveland Orchestra and Giancarlo Guerrero gave us a zesty, vibrant traversal of this iconic score. Guerrero’s enthusiasm is plain to see and feel, and his conception of the symphony had a compelling forward motion. “ —Palm Beach ArtsPaper, March 2013

Tchaikovsky is often considered the most Romantic of composers. His Fifth Symphony has long been an audience favorite for its soaring, memorable melodies, and deeply passionate, emotional richness. Before intermission, internationally acclaimed violinist Arabella Steinbacher joins the Orchestra for Prokofiev’s fiery First Violin Concerto.

Popular culture note: The second movement of Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony inspired the songs “Moon Love,” recorded by both Glenn Miller and Chet Baker, and “Annie’s Song” by John Denver.

TICKETS
