No orchestra in America — indeed, perhaps no other orchestra in the world — is more ideally suited to partner with MMA in achieving these goals than The Cleveland Orchestra. Securing and building support for Cleveland Orchestra Miami will ensure that MMA succeeds in creating a culture of passionate and dedicated concert-going in South Florida among the broadest constituency.

CLEVELAND Cleveland Orchestra Miami OAssociation R C H E ST R A presented by the Miami Music SHELDON T. ANDERSON President in partnership with The Cleveland Orchestra and the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County

November 2014 Dear Friends, Welcome to the ninth season of Cleveland Orchestra Miami concerts, featuring the wonderful Cleveland Orchestra! Thank you so much for joining us this evening for these first concerts of the season. This weekend’s performances, led by conductor Giancarlo Guerrero, feature a vibrant and lively program of music from Italy and Spain sure to invigorate your spirit. It is my sincere pleasure to lead Miami Music Association in partnership with The Cleveland Orchestra to present this new season of concerts, community events, and education programs for South Florida. This collaboration is making our city stronger. We have the unique opportunity to call a world-renowned orchestra our own for four weeks each year, harnessing the full power of its music-making for the benefit of our community. This includes four weekends of concerts — with enthusiastic audiences filling Knight Concert Hall to near capacity. It encompasses unique partnerships with educational institutions across the region to present programs for students of all ages. This year, in fact, we are increasing the number of Miami-Dade County Public School students we serve with music education programs by 50 percent. And we are expanding the ways we engage South Florida residents — for the first time in early 2015, we are presenting a community concert for everyone who loves music. Details of the program will be announced in the coming weeks. We are thrilled to offer a wide variety of meaningful musical experiences with The Cleveland Orchestra, and to make a significant contribution to the flourishing culture of our region. Finally, and on behalf of all the Miami Music Association trustees, I want to extend my gratitude to every donor and patron. Thank you for attending these concerts. And thank you to the growing number of generous donors and contributors who support Cleveland Orchestra Miami and its impact on Miami’s cultural community. Best regards,

Sheldon T. Anderson

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

The The 2014-15 season marks Franz Welser-Möst’s thirteenth year as music director of The Cleveland Orchestra, with the future of this acclaimed partnership now extending into the next decade. Under his direction, the Orchestra is hailed for its continuing artistic excellence, is broadening and enhancing its community programming at home in Northeast Ohio, is presented in a series of ongoing residencies in the United States and Europe, and has re-established itself as an important operatic ensemble. With a commitment to music education and the Northeast Ohio community, Franz Welser-Möst has taken The Cleveland Orchestra back into public schools with performances in collaboration with the Cleveland Metropolitan School District. He has championed new programs, such as a community-focused Make Music! initiative and a series of “At Home” neighborhood residencies and concerts in the community designed to bring the Orchestra and citizens together in new ways. Under Mr. Welser-Möst’s leadership, The Cleveland Orchestra has established a recurring biennial residency in Vienna at the famed Musikverein concert hall and appears regularly at Switzerland’s Lucerne Festival. Together, they have also appeared in residence at Suntory Hall in Tokyo, Japan, and at the Salzburg Festival, where a 2008 residency included five sold-out performances of a staged production of Dvořák’s opera Rusalka. In the United States, an annual multiweek Cleveland Orchestra residency in Florida was inaugurated in 2007 and an ongoing relationship with New York’s Lincoln Center Festival began in 2011. Franz Welser-Möst has led annual opera performances during his tenure in Cleveland, re-establishing the Orchestra as an important operatic ensemble. Following six seasons of 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. He led an innovative made-forCleveland production of Leoš Janáček’s The Cunning Little Vixen at Severance Hall. They will present performances of Richard Strauss’s Daphne in May 2015. For his talents and dedication, Mr. Welser-Möst has received honors that include the Vienna Philharmonic’s “Ring of Honor” for his longstanding personal and artistic relationship with the ensemble, as well as 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 Gold Medal from the Upper Austrian government for his work as a cultural ambassador, a Decoration of Honor from the Republic of Austria for his artistic achievements, and the Kilenyi Medal from the Bruckner Society of America.

2014-15 Cleveland Orchestra Miami


Giancarlo Guerrero Principal Guest Conductor Cleveland Orchestra Miami

The 2014-15 season marks Giancarlo Guerrero’s sixth year as music director of the Nashville Symphony and fourth year as principal guest conductor of Cleveland Orchestra Miami. He made his Cleveland Orchestra debut in May 2006. He has led the Cleveland ensemble in concerts in Miami, at Severance Hall, at Blossom, and in the Orchestra’s annual community concert in downtown Cleveland. Mr. Guerrero’s recent seasons with Nashville have featured several world premieres, including a new work by Richard Danielpour, a Béla Fleck banjo concerto, and a Terry Riley concerto for electric violin. Recent and upcoming guest engagements include his debut with the Houston Grand Opera in 2015, leading The Cleveland Orchestra in a Midwest Tour during the first half of 2014, as well as appearances in North America with the orchestras of Boston, Cincinnati, Dallas, Detroit, Houston, Indianapolis, Philadelphia, Toronto, and Vancouver. Internationally, he is increasingly active in Europe, where recent and upcoming engagements include performances with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, Copenhagen Philharmonic, Frankfurt Radio Symphony, Orchestre National de France, London Philharmonic Orchestra, and Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin. A fervent advocate of new music and contemporary composers, Mr. Guerrero has collaborated with and conducted works by some of America’s most respected composers, including John Adams, John Corigliano, Michael Daugherty, Osvaldo Golijov, Jennifer Higdon, Aaron Jay Kernis, and Roberto Sierra. His first album with the Nashville Symphony, on Naxos, featured works by Daugherty and won three 2011 Grammy Awards. Two more albums have been released, of music by Argentine legend Astor Piazzolla and by American composer Joseph Schwantner; the latter recording received a Grammy Award in 2012. Mr. Guerrero has appeared regularly in Latin America, conducting the São Paulo State Symphony Orchestra and with the Orquesta Sinfónica Simón Bolívar in Caracas, Venezuela, where he has also worked with young musicians in the country’s much-lauded El Sistema music education program. Born in Nicaragua and raised in Costa Rica, Giancarlo Guerrero received a bachelor’s degree in percussion from Baylor University and his master’s degree in conducting from Northwestern University. He was music director of Oregon’s Eugene Symphony (2003-09) and served as associate conductor of the Minnesota Orchestra (1999-2004). Mr. Guerrero received the American Symphony Orchestra League’s Helen M. Thompson Award recognizing outstanding achievement among young conductors. Prior to his tenure in Minnesota, he was music director of the Táchira Symphony Orchestra in Venezuela. Cleveland Orchestra Miami 2014-15

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. WelserMöst 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. Yearround 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.

Nationalism& Music

offer some superb examples of picture painting in sound — enlivened with rhythms and melodic ideas from the warm sunshine and flowing waters of Italy and Spain. Four works, written between 1880 and 1940, afford us a variety of musical views, one each by an Italian and a Spaniard, along with visits to both countries through the eyes (and ears) of Russian composers enthralled by their own experiences in the Mediterranean. Cleveland Orchestra Miami’s principal guest conductor Giancarlo Guerrero leads the concerts, joined by guitar soloist Miloš Karadaglić, whose exciting new recording of Joaquín Rodrigo’s brilliant Concierto de Aranjuez has been well-received around the world.

THIS WEEKEND’S CONCERTS

Capriccio Italien, Opus 45 composed 1880

by

Pyotr Ilyich

TCHAIKOVSKY born May 7, 1840 near Votkinsk, Russia died November 6, 1893 St. Petersburg

A S T H E Y E A R 1 8 7 9 came to an end, Tchaikovsky reflected that he was for the first time a “free man,” having quit his teaching position at the Moscow Conservatory, which had become a great burden to him, and having recovered, as far as recovery could go, from the trauma of his failed marriage. He at least knew that he no longer had to imagine marriage to be a solution to his uneasy social position. He did not come out, as we would term it, but he had convinced himself that he had no choice but to be himself and follow his own instincts, not those of a disapproving society. He was also completely free to indulge his unrelenting urge to travel, both within and outside of Russia, and with performances of his music becoming ever more frequent at home and abroad, his income was steady enough to provide the means to go where he liked at will. One symptom of this peace of mind was the composition of the Capriccio Italien, a work which for once conveys no emotional turmoil but merely puts on record his affection for Italy and his skill at putting together tunes in brilliant orchestral colors. Having completed a draft of the Second Piano Concerto, he left for Rome on December 17, 1879, intending to spend several months there. At first, he and his brother Modest enjoyed the About the Music

treasures of the city and he had no will to compose, but within a month he was so struck by the propensity of Italians to sing everywhere that the idea of a composition came to him: “Yesterday I heard a delightful folksong which I shall certainly use,” he wrote to Madame von Meck, and he later explained that he wanted to write something similar to Glinka’s Spanish pieces. “I have already completed the sketches for an Italian fantasia on folk tunes for which I believe a good future may be predicted. It will be effective, thanks to the delightful tunes which I have succeeded in assembling partly from anthologies, partly through my own ears on the streets.” The orchestration was done in May, and soon Tchaikovsky began to wonder whether the piece was worthy of him, betraying the familiar self-doubt that followed the composition or performance of almost all his pieces. He need not have worried about its success, for it was rapturously received in both Moscow and St. Petersburg, and has always remained popular. It was not intended to be a personal statement of any kind, although we are fully aware of the composer’s affection for these melodies and for the country where he heard them. Only one of the melodies, the closing Tarantella, has been identified — it is a tune known in Italy as the Cicuzza, and Modest reported that the opening bugle call (which returns later in the piece) was heard from the barracks next to their hotel. Whether Tchaikovsky adopted or merely adapted the other melodies from tunes he had heard on the streets cannot be confirmed, but the Italian spirit is unmistakable. Glinka’s two pieces, Capriccio brillante on Spanish themes and Recuerdos de Castilla, also known as the Second Spanish Overture, composed in 1848, were Tchaikovsky’s direct models, although he scarcely needed a model on which to base the alternation of slow and fast melodies, the variety of keys and moods, and the rousing character of the final pages. After the bugle call, the opening melody is gloomy and austere, alleviated by the best-known melody from the piece, presented by two oboes. This comes back later in a more pompous form, and the riotous ending depicts the Roman carnival, a scene which Tchaikovsky witnessed that year and which was similarly evoked by Berlioz in his brilliant 1844 overture of that name.

At a Glance Tchaikovsky wrote his “Italian Capriccio” in Rome in January and February, 1880, and revised it in Russia in May of the same year. The work was premiered in Moscow on December 18, 1880, under the direction of Nikolai Rubinstein. Capriccio Italien runs about 15 minutes in performance. Tchaikovsky scored it for 3 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 cornets, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, percussion, harp, and strings. The Cleveland Orchestra first played this work at a Popular Concert in Masonic Auditoirum in February 1920, under founding music director Nikolai Sokoloff.

Concierto de Aranjuez (for guitar and orchestra) composed 1939

JOAQUÍN RODRIGO,

by

Joaquín

RODRIGO born November 22, 1901 Saguunto, Valencia died July 6, 1999 Madrid

afflicted with blindness since the age of three, was blessed with a long life and a stunning success early in his career. The Concierto de Aranjuez was not his first work, but it was his first concerto. The warmth of its reception in Barcelona in 1940 sustained Rodrigo through all the later years in which he wrote great quantities of music but never equaled the impact of this now-famous concerto. Like that of many Spanish composers of the early 20th century, his music was untouched by the different waves of modernism that swept over European music, and he composed to the end of his life in a style that, with rare exceptions, would not have seemed strange to the 19th-century sensibilities of Rimsky-Korsakov or any of the non-Spanish composers who adopted Spanish figurations and dance rhythms in their own music. Like Albéniz, Falla, and many other Spanish composers, Rodrigo studied in France, taking lessons from Dukas (Messiaen’s teacher) and Maurice Emmanuel — and he was still living in France in 1939 when he composed the Concierto de Aranjuez. He shortly had to return to Madrid, which he made his home for the rest of his life. He later wrote concertos for two guitars and for four guitars, as well as concertos for piano, violin, flute, cello, and harp. His output for orchestra, piano, solo guitar, and voice is very extensive, although he never ventured into opera. The concerto is named after the royal palace at Aranjuez (pictured below), near Madrid, built by Philip II and expanded

At a Glance Rodrigo wrote this concerto for guitar and orchestra in 1939, naming it after the Palace Aranjuez near Madrid. It was first performed on November 9, 1940, with Orquesta Filarmónica de Barcelona conducted by César Mendoza Lasalle, with Sanz de la Maza as the soloist. This concerto runs nearly 25 minutes in performance. Rodrigo scored it for 2 flutes and piccolo, 2 oboes and english horn, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, and strings, plus the solo guitar. The United States premiere of this work was given by The Cleveland Orchestra in November 1959, with Robert Shaw conducting and Rey de la Torre as soloist.

in the 18th century with extensive gardens (above). Rodrigo wanted his concerto to evoke “memories of earlier times, and of the lovely gardens of Aranjuez with their fountains, trees, and birds.” He also mentioned the fragrance of the magnolias, which would particularly inspire a blind composer. It is not fanciful to hear the birds and fountains in some of the figuration in the concerto, and in the last movement, which is not a helter-skelter finale but a gentle movement, marked with a tempo of Allegro gentile, filled with teasing lopsided rhythms, in which he recalls the courtly dances that the palace would have played host to. The guitar is not a loud instrument, and it can be upstaged by an orchestra, however small. The composer has taken care to let the guitar be heard, with a number of striking passages on its own. The orchestra is only heard at full throttle when the guitar is resting. The success of the concerto, especially its expressive slow movement, is world-wide. Sufficient evidence comes merely by mentioning the innumerable jazz versions, including those by the MJQ and Miles Davis. When asked if he could explain the concerto’s astonishing success, Rodrigo simply replied: “To be honest, I don’t know. If I did know, I would have discovered the secret of success itself.” —Hugh Macdonald © 2014

Miloš Karadaglić Classical guitarist Miloš Karadaglić from Montenegro saw his international career leap forward with the release earlier this year of his Deutsche Grammophon recording of Rodrigo’s iconic Concierto de Aranjuez, which serves on the album as the starting point for a journey across the Spanish landscape, paying tribute to great music and master musicians. He is making his Cleveland Orchestra debut with this weekend’s concerts here in Miami. His first solo album was released in 2011, followed by impressive performances over the next two seasons across Europe, North America, Asia, and Australia. “Part of the reason Karadaglić has such a large following” commented the Western Australian “is his ability to straddle both hardcore classical and pop classical camps.” Mr. Karadaglić’s passion for the guitar is matched with a clear sense of how to bring the instrument across in performance — whether for an audience of thousands in London’s Royal Albert Hall or an intimate chamber music performance for just 100 people. He enjoys performing in the major concert halls as much as in non-traditional venues including New York’s Le Poisson Rouge, London’s Camden Roundhouse, and Deutsche Grammophon’s Yellow Lounge club nights in London, Berlin, Amsterdam, Madrid, Seoul, New York, L.A., and Miami. His line-up of albums on Deutsche Grammophon now includes both solo work and concertos. He is playing Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez in debuts with some of the world’s finest ensembles this season, including his appearance here in Miami with The Cleveland Orchestra. Performances continue across three continents, including solo and orchestral engagements in Lisbon, Madrid, London, Paris, Rome, Milan, Miami, Atlanta, Tokyo, Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong. This year has also witnessed the launch of a new exclusive watch that Mr. Karadaglić designed for the luxury Swiss watchmaker Raymond Weill, with proceeds from the special edition going to Miloš’s chosen charity — the Mladost Orphanage in Bijela. Montenegro’s only orphanage, Mladost cares for up to 160 children aged between one month and 18 years old from different backgrounds, including those who were orphaned during the Balkan upheaval. In addition to his charitable work, Miloš Karadaglić is a passionate supporter of music education. Born in Montenegro in 1983, he first started playing the guitar at the age of 8. When he was 16, he was admitted on scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music and moved to London, where he continues to live while keeping close ties with his family and homeland. He plays a 2007 Greg Smallman guitar, kindly lent to him by Paul and Jenny Gillham.

Fountains of Rome [Fontane di Roma] composed 1915-16

by

Ottorino

RESPIGHI born July 9, 1879 Bologna, Italy died April 18, 1936 Rome, Italy

26

R E S P I G H I ’ S F I R S T I M P O R T A N T orchestral work was a “Sinfonia drammatica” (1914), unashamedly modeled on Richard Strauss’s big tone poems. This was followed by Fountains of Rome in 1916, perhaps his most impressive work, the first in a cycle of three symphonic poems on the theme of Rome. The later ones were Pines of Rome (1924) and Roman Festivals (1928). Respighi had a special gift for illustrative — almost visual — music, being himself most responsive to the sights and sounds around him, and having a superb feeling for orchestral color. This music was written at a time when huge orchestras were still a novelty, and the scintillating sounds to be had from high percussion such as glockenspiel and celesta in combination with violin harmonics were brilliantly appropriate for the sort of “open-air” portraits that Respighi liked to paint. He had once been a student in St. Petersburg, working with the master orchestrator Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov. Later, he feasted on the scores of Strauss and Ravel, whose example he was never ashamed to admit. And, in turn, a generation of late Romantic composers were to learn a great deal from Respighi, especially when the cinema offered a new medium for richly illustrative music. This Italian music creator always retained a childlike sense of wonder at the world around him, as we can hear in these finely crafted scores. Living and working in Rome, Respighi felt a natural bond with the ancient and modern features of the city. Fountains of Rome is a guided tour around four of the city’s most famous fountains, structured and balanced like a four-movement suite or symphony. The tour is spaced across a single day, from dawn to twilight, suggesting appropriate times of day for the contemplation of each fountain and its setting within the landscape or townscape. At dawn, we visit the Valle Giulia, where (according to Respighi’s notes) cattle are seen grazing in the damp mist. Respighi’s fondness for modal music, whether from plainchant or from folk music, is in evidence here, and the flow of water from the fountain is heard almost throughout, either on murmuring strings or on a quietly hissing cymbal. Listen for echoes from Strauss’s opera Der Rosenkavalier! Each movement follows directly after the one before, and About the Music

so it is suddenly morning, now in the city, at the fountain of the Tritone sculpted by Bernini in the 17th century. The center of the fountain is a massive sculpture of the sea-god Triton, who holds a large conch to his lips on muscular arms. The music is menacing at first, with water cascading down from the conch, but it soon becomes playful, as naiads are imagined dancing and playing in the water. This is the musical “scherzo” of the piece. Distant trumpets lead into the fountains of Trevi at midday. This is the most famous of Rome’s fountains, with its elaborate sculpted backdrop and the popular tradition of throwing coins in the water. The triumphal character of the music is suggested by the image of Neptune’s chariot riding on the water and eventually passing into the distance. The model here is the battle music in Strauss’s A Hero’s Life [Ein Heldenleben], but without any implication of actual conflict. Finally, it is the close of day, and we end in an almost mystical mood at the Villa Medici, the grand house on a hill overlooking the city, as the light fades. The music itself dissolves into the sound of birds and distant bells, giving way to the silence of the night. —Hugh Macdonald © 2014

At a Glance Respighi wrote his symphonic poem Fontane di Roma (“Fountains of Rome”) in 1915-16. It was premiered in Rome on March 11, 1917, at the Teatro Augusteo under the direction of Antonio Guarnieri. Fountains of Rome runs about 15 minutes in performance. Respighi scored it for 3 flutes, piccolo, 3 oboes, english horn, 3 clarinets, bass clarinet, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, 2 harps, celesta, piano, optional organ, and strings.

Capriccio espagnol, Opus 34 composed 1887

by

Nikolai

RIMSKYKORSAKOV born March 18, 1844 Tikhvin, Russia (near Novgorod) died June 21, 1908 St. Petersburg, Russia

I N H I S E A R LY Y E A R S as an officer in the Russian Imperial Navy, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov sailed to London, New York, and South America. And on the return voyage, in November 1864, his ship, the Almaz, spent a few days in the Spanish port of Cadiz. Whether or not he picked up any snatches of Spanish dances during his stay (his autobiography My Musical Life doesn’t tell us), he had a Russian precedent for adopting Spanish idioms in the form of Mikail Glinka’s Capriccio brillante on Spanish themes, which had also served Tchaikovsky in fashioning his Capriccio Italien. Rimsky-Korsakov was also familiar with Lalo’s and Bizet’s pieces utilizing Spanish flavors. His first plan was for a fantasia on Spanish themes for violin, but in the fallow period he experienced in the early 1880s that work was never written. In February 1887, his friend Alexander Borodin died, leaving the opera Prince Igor unfinished, so Rimsky-Korsakov and his young student Alexander Glazunov teamed up to complete it. This admirable goal awoke Rimsky’s muse, and in the next two years he composed three major orchestral works of his own — the Capriccio espagnol, Scheherazade, and the Russian Easter Overture. The Capriccio was quickly finished that summer and performed for the first time in December of the same year. The first rehearsal was interrupted again and again by the applause of the orchestra, who were thrilled by the brilliance of the writing and the energy of the music. With his customary cool detachment, Rimsky-Korsakov later pointed out that the Capriccio is not a “magnificently orchestrated piece.” It is, rather, a “brilliant composition for the orchestra.” He went on to guide the listener: “The change of timbres, the felicitous choice of melodic shapes and figurations, exactly suiting each kind of instrument, brief virtuoso cadenzas for solo instruments, the rhythm of the percussion instruments, etc., constitute here the very essence of the composition and not its garb or orchestration.” Ravel was later to say something similar about his own Boléro being a technical exercise, not a real composition, and Rimsky-Korsakov similarly prided himself on his technique, especially since he had outgrown the exhortation of his fellow members of Russia’s “Mighty Five” composers to despise technique as “too German.” This is also what made Rimsky-

At a Glance Rimsky-Korsakov wrote his Capriccio espagnol [“Spanish Capriccio”] in the summer of 1887. It was first performed in St. Petersburg on October 31, 1887, conducted by the composer. The work runs about 15 minutes in performance. Rimsky-Korsakov’s score calls for 2 flutes, piccolo, 2 oboes, english horn, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion (side drum, bass drum, cymbals, triangle, tambourine, castanets), harp, and strings. The Cleveland Orchestra first played Capriccio espagnol in February 1920, during the Orchestra’s second season. It has been presented frequently since that time.

Korsakov a great teacher (as Respighi was soon to learn). The origins of the Capriccio espagnol as a violin piece are evident in the frequent violin solos and the busy activity of the violin sections. Section players have plenty of double-stopping [playing two notes at once by bowing across two strings], with the shrill sound of E strings constantly heard in the opening Alborada section. The Variazioni section introduces Rimsky’s gift for elegant melody at a slow tempo, presented by four horns and taken up by the strings. Horns (brass and english) contribute their characteristic entries. The Alborada returns, slightly altered, still bright and brisk, then the Scena e canto gitano opens with free-tempo cadenzas for four horns, then solo violin, then flute, clarinet, and harp, and then closes with a furious dance with much stamping of Spanish gypsy feet. This leads directly into the Fandango asturiano in which the tune is repeated many times in varying contexts, and the whole piece closes with the Alborada again, now orchestrated with even more panache than before. —Hugh Macdonald © 2014 Hugh Macdonald lives in England and is the Avis H.

CLEVELAND O R C H E ST R A

WHAT THE MEDIA IS SAYING . . . “The only thing more delightful than an evening of music penned by preeminent Viennese composers such as Schubert, Korngold, and Johann Strauss, is having an Austrian conductor rendering them at the helm of The Cleveland Orchestra. . . . Miami has been the winter home of The Cleveland Orchestra for the past eight years. . . . Welser-Möst collaborates with his orchestra, often speaking elaborately with them in rehearsals about precision and the contrary. He does not concern himself with keeping the beat constantly, but is always attentive; he places a lot of trust in his players, who are obviously deserving of his trust, becoming more involved as the dynamics and aesthetic of the music require. . . . The Cleveland Orchestra completed the evening with the Overture to Die Fledermaus, every player on point, from the variety of tempos that adorned the opening to the grand theme running through the lower strings into the full orchestra. The strings were glorious amidst the brass and wind interplay. The oboe (Frank Rosenwein) rendered the romantic center with sensitivity. The engine revved up, returned to the grand theme, and sprinted to the finish line, every note a treasure. The hall was spinning as cheers from the audience accompanied their five-minute standing ovation. It couldn’t have been better.” —MiamiArtZine, January 2014

“While the music of Richard Strauss has long been a specialty of the house for The Cleveland Orchestra, rarely heard Debussy and a stunning performance of a landmark Stravinsky score took top honors at the second program of the Clevelanders’ annual Miami residency at the Arsht Center. Acclaimed British baritone Simon Keenlyside added some vocal Strauss to a program that spanned the final decade of the 19th century and the early years of the 20th. . . . The premiere of Stravinsky’s Le Sacre du Printemps [“The Rite of Spring”] created a riot and scandal in 1913 and, over one hundred years later, the score’s raw harmonies and harsh dissonances still pack a wallop. Instead of a coolly cerebral reading or ultra brilliant traversal, Franz Welser-Möst approached the score as theater music — highly colored and rhythmically alert. John Clouser’s strongly articulated, shapely bassoon solo preceded the onset of churning, primitive rhythms, given distinctly Russian flavoring by Welser-Möst. The fired-up brass and percussion were in top form and the entire ensemble snapped to the myriad changes of meter and pulse. In the opening of Part II, a mix of misty harmonies and languid Russian soulfulness, the depth and luster of the massed strings took full flight. Welser-Möst whipped up a frenzy in the final sacrificial dance. A wonderfully supple play of dynamics and instrumental textures marked this freshly minted reading of a 20th-century masterwork. —South Florida Classical Review, February 2014
