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

marks Franz Welser-Möst’s tenth 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 enlarging and enhancing its community programming at home, is presented in a series of ongoing residencies in the United States and Europe, continues its historic championship of new composers through commissions and premieres, and has re-established itself as an important operatic ensemble. Concurrently with his post in Cleveland, Mr. Welser-Möst became General Music Director of the Vienna State Opera in September 2010.

With a committed focus on music education in Northeast Ohio, Franz Welser-Möst has taken The Cleveland Orchestra back into public schools with performances in collaboration with the Cleveland Metropolitan School District.

The initiative continues and expands upon Mr. Welser-Möst’s active participation in community concerts and educational programs, including the Cleveland Orchestra Youth Orchestra and partnerships with music conservatories and universities across Northeast Ohio.

Under Mr. Welser-Möst’s leadership, The Cleveland Orchestra has established an ongoing biennial residency in Vienna at the famed Musikverein concert hall and at the Lucerne Festival in Switzerland. Together, they have 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, Mr. Welser-Möst has established an annual multi-week Cleveland Orchestra Miami Residency in Florida and launched a new biennial residency at New York’s Lincoln Center Festival in 2011.

Under Franz Welser-Möst’s direction, The Cleveland Orchestra has performed thirteen world and fifteen United States premieres. Through the Roche Commissions project, he and the Orchestra have premiered works by Harrison Birtwistle, Chen Yi, Hanspeter Kyburz, George Benjamin, and Toshio Hosokawa in partnership with the Lucerne Festival and Carnegie Hall. In addition, the Daniel R. Lewis Young Composer Fellow program has brought new voices to the repertoire, including Marc-André Dalbavie, Matthias Pintscher, Susan Botti, Julian Anderson, Johannes Maria Staud, Jörg Widmann, and Sean Shepherd.

tenure in Cleveland, re-establishing the Orchestra as an important operatic ensemble. 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. He leads concert performances of Strauss’s Salome at Severance Hall and at Carnegie Hall during the 2011-12 season.

Franz Welser-Möst became General Music Director of the Vienna State Opera with the 2010-11 season. His long partnership with the company has included acclaimed performances of Tristan and Isolde, a new production of Wagner’s Ring cycle with stage director Sven-Eric Bechtolf, and, in his first season in the post, critically praised new productions of Hindemith’s Cardillac and Janáček’s Katya Kabanova. During the 2011-12 season, he continues his survey of the operas of Janáček with a new production of From the House of the Dead and also leads a new production of Verdi’s Don Carlo.

Mr. Welser-Möst also maintains an ongoing relationship with the Vienna Philharmonic. Recent performances with the Philharmonic include appearances at the Lucerne Festival and Salzburg Festival, in Tokyo, and in concert at La Scala Milan, as well as leading the Philharmonic’s 2011 New Year’s Day concert, viewed by telecast in seventy countries worldwide. Across a decade-long tenure with the Zurich Opera, culminating in three seasons as General Music Director (2005-08), Mr. Welser-Möst led the company in more than 40 new productions and numerous revivals.

Franz Welser-Möst’s recordings and videos have won major awards, including the Gramophone Award, Diapason d’Or, Japanese Record Academy Award, and two Grammy nominations. With The Cleveland Orchestra, he has created DVD recordings of live performances of four Bruckner symphonies, presented in three accoustically distinctive venues: Symphony No. 5 in the Abbey of St. Florian in Austria, Symphony No. 9 in Vienna’s Musikverein, and Symphonies Nos. 7 and 8 at Severance Hall. With Cleveland, he has also released a recording of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony as well as an all-Wagner album featuring soprano Measha Brueggergosman. DVD releases on the EMI label have included Mr. Welser-Möst leading Zurich Opera productions of The Marriage of Figaro, Così fan tutte, Don Giovanni, Der Rosenkavalier, La Bohème, Fierrabras, and Peter Grimes.

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 Gold Medal from the Upper Austrian government for his work as a cultural ambassador, and the Kilenyi Medal from the Bruckner Society of America. He is the co-author of Cadences: Observations and Conversations, published in a German edition in 2007.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to start building towards an economic crescendo.

Like a world-class orchestra, business in Cleveland works best when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well conducted. And with its convenient proximity to downtown, Burke Lakefront Airport is a vital destination for the corporations, executives, and health care systems that are growing their business here.

Which should be music to all of our ears. www.burkeairport.com

Perspectivesfrom the Executive Director Over the course of 2011, we’ve seen regular news reports about the challenges faced by orchestras in cities around the country.

As Detroit, Denver, Honolulu, Louisville, Philadelphia, San Antonio, Syracuse, and others have struggled, many people have asked me about how we’re doing here in Cleveland.

What’s going on? As entertainment, information, and cultural options proliferate, membership and subscription rates are in decline for many leisure pursuits, including orchestras. Endowment and pension funds are compromised by market downturns, and persistent economic uncertainty dampens philanthropy. To survive In America today, orchestras must change.

For us in Cleveland, the regional economy, corporate landscape, and local population growth have been challenged for years. But The Cleveland Orchestra is one of very few symphony orchestras with the willingness and the proven ability to change. That’s why, in covering the story last spring, the Toronto Star reported “. . . Cleveland is giving fellow orchestras lessons in staying alive.”

The Cleveland Orchestra began to change in earnest more than five years ago, with residency programs outside Cleveland, artistic initiatives such as ballet and opera, new audience development programs, accelerated community activities, frequent benefit events, and more aggressive fundraising.

Our changes are driving revenue growth, especially philanthropy in Cleveland and operating revenues outside Cleveland. Yet even with record annual revenues, we still remain significantly under-endowed. On June 30, 2011, The Cleveland Orchestra endowment stood at $129 million, down from an all-time high of $157 million in the year 2000. For us to be financially healthy today would require a $300 million endowment, in keeping with other orchestras of our scope, scale, and quality. Without it, we have an unsustainable structural deficit that threatens the Orchestra’s survival.

What must we do? We must stay true to our core purpose of serving the art of music at the highest levels of excellence. We must be even more innovative and relevant to the communities we serve. And, above all else, we must increase our Endowment Fund by successfully soliciting transformational philanthropy from everyone who cares about the community, loves The Cleveland Orchestra, and believes in the power of great music to change lives.

As we launch Franz’s tenth season, we are grateful for our passionate concertgoers, for the generous annual gifts from individuals, foundations, and corporations, and for ongoing support from our county and state arts agencies, all among the most supportive anywhere. We are blessed with worldwide recognition for artistic preeminence and innovation — a credit to a great music director, fantastic musicians, a dedicated staff, and inspiring Trustee leadership.

I look forward to seeing you throughout the season and to discussing your participation in the effort to build our all-important Endowment Fund.

THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA

The Cleveland Orchestra’s Opening Night Gala at Severance Hall on October 1 featured a special surprise moment for Franz Welser-Möst, when Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson presented the Orchestra’s conductor with a ceremonial “key to the city” (above). The award was given to recognize the value of Franz’s work in extending and enhancing Cleveland’s reputation internationally.

The gala evening, presented under the leadership of gala chair Norma Lerner and gala corporate chair Beth Mooney, marked the official start of Franz WelserMöst’s tenth season as music director. The event, which included an hour-long concert by The Cleveland Orchestra, raised $650,000. Proceeds from the evening will be used to create an education fund in Franz’s name, honoring his initiatives on behalf of music education.

Of Ravel’s Boléro from the evening’s concert, The Plain Dealer wrote: “Proving he holds the key to Ravel as well as Cleveland, Welser-Möst offered a hardhitting performance, one that began with near-silent tapping . . . and ended with a cataclysmic punch.”

Bruckner Society of America presents Franz Welser-Möst with special award The Bruckner Society of America chose Franz Welser-Möst to receive the Society’s Julio Kilenyi Medal of Honor for his “understanding, advocacy, and dedication to Bruckner’s music.” The award was first given in 1933 to Arturo Toscanini, Serge Koussevitsky, and Bruno Walter.

Since that time, the Society has continued to present it to conductors, scholars, and musicologists who have helped to further the understanding and appreciation of Anton Bruckner’s life and work.

The award was presented on July 13 during a rehearsal at Avery Fisher Hall in New York. In addition to four DVD recordings of Bruckner symphonies made with The Cleveland Orchestra in the past four years, Welser-Möst has recorded Bruckner symphonies with the London Philharmonic and the Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra. He leads The Cleveland Orchestra in performances of Bruckner’s Fourth this season at Severance Hall, on April 26, 27, and 28, 2012.

New Cleveland Orchestra recording features live performance of “Rusalka” from Salzburg Festival The Cleveland Orchestra’s newest recording is a live audio recording of Dvořák’s opera Rusalka, performed under Franz Welser-Möst’s direction as part of the 2008 Salzburg Festival. The album on the Orfeo label was released at the end of September and New! comes in CD format or as a music download. The CD version is available from the Cleveland Orchestra Store at Severance Hall.

The August 2008 performances of Rusalka marked the first time that The Cleveland Orchestra played from the orchestra pit for an opera production at the Salzburg Festival. The five soldout Rusalka performances were part of a Festival Residency that also included WelserMöst conducting the Orchestra in three different concert programs. Prior to the staged Salzburg performances, WelserMöst and the Orchestra presented in-concert performances of Rusalka in Cleveland in June 2008.

The reviewer for London’s Sunday Times praised the Salzburg production, calling it “the most spellbinding account of Dvořák’s miraculous score I have ever heard, either in the theatre or on record. . . . I doubt this music can be better played than by the Clevelanders, the most ‘European’ of the American orchestras, with wind and brass soloists to die for and a string sound of superlative warmth and sensitivity.” The London Sunday Telegraph review said, “the playing of the Cleveland Orchestra under Franz WelserMöst is sumptuously beautiful and exquisitely detailed, allowing Dvořák’s operatic masterpiece to weave a strong spell at its first-ever Salzburg showing.”

Cleveland Orchestra’s Distinguished Service Award to be given to Richard Weiner at concert on October 13 The Cleveland Orchestra’s sixteeth annual Distinguished Service Award will be presented to former principal percussionist Richard Weiner on October 13, at the start of next week’s Thursday evening concert at Severance Hall. The award, created in 1997, honors a person or organization that has provided continuing exemplary service to the Musical Arts Association, the non-profit parent organization that operates The Cleveland Orchestra, Severance Hall, and Blossom Festival.

Richard Weiner was appointed to The Cleveland Orchestra in 1963 by George Szell, who appointed him principal percussionist in 1968. Weiner served as principal percussionist of the Orchestra for 43 years up to his retirement in August this year, leading the section longer than anyone else in the Orchestra’s history. He also served on a variety of Cleveland Orchestra committees over the decades, including the Negotiation Committee (which he chaired for many years), Artistic Advisory Committee, Pension Committee, Travel Committee, and the Severance Hall Renovation Committee.

In announcing Weiner’s selection in August, Executive Director Gary Hanson said, “Richard Weiner has served The Cleveland Orchestra with distinction over his 48-year tenure. As principal percussionist, Rich has exemplified the Orchestra’s devotion to the highest standards of artistic excellence. He has also played a vital role off-stage representing the musicians’ interests during more than four decades of institutional growth. Everyone in the Orchestra family owes Rich a debt of gratitude for his selfless and dedicated service.”

Distinguished Service Award

October 2011 Greetings, On behalf of my fellow Ohioans, let me offer my warmest congratulations to Franz Welser-Möst on the auspicious beginning of his tenth season leading the great Cleveland Orchestra. Our citizens are rightly proud of Franz and the Orchestra, who carry the name of Ohio around the world with such distinction as the state’s most visible and active ambassadors. We are fortunate to benefit from an organization that contributes so richly to our quality of life, whether by lifting us up with transporting artistry or by engaging us as students at every educational level, from children through adults.

As the Orchestra launches a new season and students everywhere begin a new school year, we gratefully acknowledge the generosity and determination of Franz Welser-Möst on behalf of outstanding educational programs that serve our communities and enhance our lives. The whole world looks up to The Cleveland Orchestra, and Ohioans are proud to claim it as our own.

THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA

The Cleveland Orchestra’s inaugural residency with the Lincoln Center Festival July 13-17 received overwhelming critical acclaim. Franz Welser-Möst led the Orchestra in four concerts featuring four Bruckner symphonies (Nos. 5, 7, 8, and 9), with three of the symphonies paired with works by American composer John Adams. Critics and writers from the New York Times, Cleveland Plain Dealer, New Yorker, and Time Magazine described the performances as “magnificent,” “exhilarating,” “beautifully played,” “breathtaking,” and “left me awestruck.”

Writing about the Orchestra’s performance of Bruckner’s Fifth Symphony, Anthony Tommasini of the New York Times called it “a magnificent performance.”

Time Magazine’s major online story by Craig Duff included a comparison of Welser-Möst’s championship of Bruckner symphonies to Leonard Bernstein bringing the world’s attention to Gustav Mahler.

In his review of the Orchestra’s performance of Bruckner’s Symphony No. 7, Allan Kozinn of the New York Times called Franz’s reading “commanding.”

Zachary Lewis of the Plain Dealer reported that “the performances . . . under music director Franz Welser-Möst were little short of magnificent.”

New York Times critic Steve Smith concluded his review of Bruckner’s Ninth Symphony with this description: “. . . a spellbinding account that showed Mr. Welser-Möst and the orchestra in their finest light.”

Alex Ross from the New Yorker magazine tweeted: “The Cleveland Orchestra has been playing brilliantly all week, but today’s concert — Adams Doctor Atomic Symphony and Bruckner 9 — left me awestruck.”

Excellence . . . from Bach to Broadway The Cleveland Orchestra

INTRODUCING THE PROGRAM

Starting Out

By Looking Back A T T H I S W E E K ’ S C O N C E R T S , early in a new season, we hear two great

composers pausing to contemplate the German musical tradition — one an old man looking backward, the other a young man looking to widen his musical horizon.

In 1944, the 80-year-old Richard Strauss believed he was looking at the cataclysmic end — the Götterdämmerung — of German culture, between the corrupting effects of more than a decade of the Nazi regime and the ongoing wartime destruction effected by Allied bombers. He composed the string piece Metamorphosen as both tribute and elegy to that tradition, incorporating a particularly meaningful theme by Beethoven into his new work.

In 1782, Wolfgang Mozart was a newlywed in Vienna, hoping to introduce his bride as a singer to his hometown of Salzburg while also boosting his composing skills. How better than to compose a setting of the Mass, using what he’d just learned from hearing and studying the music of J.S. Bach and G.F. Handel, and to include soprano solos for his beloved Constanze? He had composed Masses before, for his former employer, the Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg, but this one would be bigger and better.

In the end, Mozart completed only a few movements of his plan, and left sketches and partial scores for others, which later scholars have turned into performable music. The completed movements were a success in Salzburg, and the original-and-reconstructed Mass in C minor, K427, though still not a complete setting of the Mass, is nevertheless a treasury of beautiful music in 18th-century German and Italian styles.

and its aftermath, the discomforts of age, the privations of war, and the loss of many dear people and things combined to test Richard Strauss’s usually buoyant attitude toward life. To save him from depression, Strauss’s friends and his son, Franz, urged him to resume composing. New works began to trickle from him again, including the Symphony for Winds, the Oboe Concerto, and the Duet-Concertino, all in a light, neoclassical vein. And also pieces in a more searching, Romantic style, including Metamorphosen and the Last Songs with orchestra. When Strauss wryly referred to these works as “wrist exercises,” his friends were gratified to hear a spark of the old Straussian ironic wit.

In our present time, when the death of one innocent civilian in military action makes the front page of the New York Times, we may lose sight of the enormous dimensions of death and destruction in World War II. Between 1943 and 1945, millions of people died in war actions, and entire cultural institutions such as the Munich National Theater, the Dresden Opera House, and the Vienna State Opera House, were destroyed by bombs. These buildings meant to their people what Severance Hall and Carnegie Hall mean to music lovers today. Richard Strauss had heard the music of the past masters in these halls and had, in fact, made his own brilliant career in them. During the war, hearing news of this destruction at age 80, he wrote “I am beside myself. . . . There can be no consolation.”

A few bars of music Strauss wrote in mourning for the bombing of Munich grew, a few months later, into the long elegy he titled Metamorphosen. He pointedly indicated that it was “for 23 solo strings,” not “for string orchestra” — in other words, a piece of chamber music, with the intimacy of expression which that implies. The Swiss conductor Paul Sacher, who commissioned so much important new music of the 1930s and 1940s, gave the premiere with his Zurich Chamber Orchestra in January 1946. Strauss himself conducted the final rehearsal.

The work’s title has inspired much speculation. Metamorphosis means “changing shape,” and the work’s themes are certainly subjected to constant change and stirred together in counterpoint, producing ever-shifting harmonies that seem like a ray of sunlight one moment and deep gloom the next.

One also thinks of W. B. Yeats’s poem “Easter 1916,” about the rebellion in Ireland: “All changed, changed utterly: / A terrible beauty is born.” Yet it is hard to find anything “born” in Metamorphosen, which the critic Alan Jefferson called “possibly the saddest piece ever written.”

In this piece, Strauss seems to be using the endlessly twisting, unfurling idiom of Wagner to mourn the death of Wagner and so much else in German culture in what he called “the most terrible period in human history . . . the 12-year reign of bestiality, ignorance, and anti-culture under the greatest animals.” Strauss’s metamorphosis seems to be in reverse: the butterfly turns itself into a destructive worm. Recent scholarship has traced the inspiration of Metamorphosen not to Yeats, but to Goethe’s poem “Niemand wird sich selber kennen” (“Nobody Will Ever Know Himself ”), a dark and prophetic meditation on civilized people’s capacity for evil.

As for the themes of this piece, there are hints and allusions everywhere to masterpieces of German music, too fleeting and too many to describe here. One theme, however, stands out a little from the rest. This is a brief descending scale, in a dotted “snap” rhythm. It appears almost subliminally throughout this long adagio, but near the end Strauss quotes it outright.

It is a phrase from the second-movement funeral march of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3 (“Eroica”), which that composer originally wrote to honor Napoleon Bonaparte, then famously tore up the title page when Napoleon declared himself Emperor.

And then Beethoven dedicated it instead “to the memory of a great man.” It seems likely that Strauss felt he was composing this music in memory of a great musical culture. There is no escaping the deep sadness of it.

GILMOUR

At a Glance Strauss made a sketch for this piece in 1943, completing it in early 1945 for a commission from Paul Sacher. The world premiere took place in Zurich on January 25, 1946, with the Zurich Collegium Musicum conducted by Sacher.

This work runs between 25 and 30 minutes in performance. Strauss scored it for a chamber orchestra of twenty-three strings (10 violins, 5 violas, 5 cellos, and 3 basses).

The Cleveland Orchestra has performed this work on only a few prior occasions, at a weekend of concerts at Severance Hall led by George Szell in October 1969, with Lorin Maazel in February 1980, with Christoph von Dohnányi in October 1986 (and on a subsequent tour), with Kurt Masur in January 1991, and again with Dohnányi in 2002 (at Severance Hall and at Carnegie Hall).

born January 27, 1756 Salzburg died December 5, 1791 Vienna

Severance Hall 2011-12

was full of life-changing events for Mozart.

Just the year before, he had finally made the commitment (over his father Leopold’s objections) to leaving his hometown of Salzburg to seek his fortune in the imperial capital, Vienna.

He was 25 then — pretty old for a musician trying to start a career. He had already spent 20 years either touring European cities in search of connections and recognition, or parked in Salzburg, performing odd musical jobs for the local ruler, the Prince-Archbishop, and he had little to show for it except a list of ever-more-superb compositions.

But 1782 saw the highly successful premiere of Mozart’s opera The Abduction from the Seraglio, which put him on the musical map in Vienna. That August 4, Mozart married Constanze Weber, an affectionate young woman and a passable singer, who would be his loyal companion during the rest of his short life — and a tireless champion of his music thereafter.

Also that year, Joseph Haydn’s six string quartets, Opus 33, were published, inspiring Mozart to begin composing six quartets himself, in which he explored Haydn’s stylistic advances over Mozart’s previous model, Johann Christian Bach. And last, but not least, Mozart had eye-opening experiences with the works of Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel during Sunday concerts in the home of Baron Gottfried van Swieten, a former ambassador to Prussia and connoisseur of Baroque music. The young composer, who had done plenty of dry exercises in counterpoint under his father’s tutelage, now was having, as his biographer Alfred Einstein writes, “his first encounter with a living polyphonic style.”

Authorities disagree about how lasting the effects of this encounter were on Mozart’s development. Surely the splendid fugue-style finale of the Symphony No. 41 of 1788 (“Jupiter”) would not have taken that form without a thorough understanding of J. S. Bach. And we know that Mozart composed, or at least began, many fugues during 1782, trying to master this musical language. Always anxious to polish his bride’s image with his family, Wolfgang wrote to his father that Constanze loved to hear him play fugues, and had even tried her hand at composing them.

‘‘

—W. A. Mozart, November 1777

Late in 1782, as Leopold and Wolfgang’s sister, Nannerl, grew impatient for him to bring Constanze to Salzburg, he wrote to them often, saying that teaching and performing obligations were keeping him in Vienna. On January 4, 1783, he reiterated, “I truly promised this to myself in my heart, and hope to fulfill it. . . . As you know, however, circumstances have frustrated our planned journey [to Salzburg]; but the score of half a mass, which is lying here with the highest hopes, is proof that I really made the promise.” The long-awaited visit finally began the following July 29, and ended with a performance of that “half a mass” — the still-fragmentary work we now know as the Mass in C minor, K427 — with Constanze as soprano soloist, in St. Peter’s Church on October 26. In a church liturgy (unlike this weekend’s concert performances), the Mass could not be celebrated incomplete, so presumably other music was found to fill in the sections that Mozart hadn’t composed.

There is no evidence that anyone commissioned a mass from Mozart in 1782. Perhaps it’s true, as he implied in his letter, that he wished to commemorate his marriage by presenting a major new work in his hometown. More likely, the unfinished mass setting originated the same way as the unfinished fugues, as an exercise, an attempt by Mozart to get his arms around a past musical form that was valuable and meaningful to him.

That form is the “cantata mass,” best known to audiences of today (but probably not to van Swieten or Mozart) from Bach’s Mass in B minor, that great compendium of all the ways then available to set sacred words for solo singers and chorus.

The most obvious feature of a cantata mass is the way it splits the Mass’s longer texts (especially the Credo) into many short phrases, each set as a separate movement. Haydn and Beethoven later composed masses in a more symphonic style, setting whole texts into longer movements.

Two sections of the Mass in C minor come down to us complete, in Mozart’s own handwriting. These are the opening Kyrie and the six brief movements of the Gloria. After that, questions about Mozart’s intentions multiply. He composed only two movements of the Credo, “Credo” and “Et incarnatus est,” and for these we have complete vocal parts but only some indications of instrumentation. There is also a score for wind band of the Sanctus in his hand. Other materials in Mozart’s hand are now lost, and to guess at them we have only a mistake-riddled copy score by Mozart’s contemporary P.M. Fischer, Severance Hall 2011-12

About the Music

In this fragmentary Mass, we hear a gifted Mozart dealing with an antique form and style which, it’s fair to say, he hadn’t yet fully made his own.

We hear him brilliantly “doing” Bach and Handel.

But also, especially in the vocal solos, Mozart the Italiantrained young genius steps forward as his mature self.

choirmaster at a monastery in Augsburg. This was apparently done in haste from a set of performers’ parts. This poor copy is how we know anything about the Benedictus at all. Mozart did not set the concluding section of the Mass, Agnus Dei for this Mass; Constanze later suggested to a publisher that, following a custom of the time, the Kyrie be reprised, but with the words of the Agnus Dei. The performances this weekend, however, conclude with the Benedictus.

Needless to say, the debate goes on over how to restore the movements Mozart composed or sketched (as well as the idea of composing more movements to complete the work, as Mozart’s pupil Süssmayr did for the unfinished Requiem of 1791.) The first systematic attempt was made by Alois Schmitt in 1901, followed by the distinguished Haydn and Mozart scholar H.C. Robbins Landon, who worked on the problem during the 1950s. Later editions include one by Franz Beyer in 1989 and another by Robert Levin in 2005. Landon’s reconstruction, published in 1956 and used for this weekend’s performances, works a light touch with the material, filling in instrumental and choral parts only as obviously necessary. Even so, as the ever-modest Landon writes in the preface, “The performer should never feel obliged to follow the editor’s choice if he thinks another reading preferable.”

And so, in this fragmentary yet painstakingly restored work, we hear a brilliant, mature Mozart dealing with an antique form and style which, it’s fair to say, he hasn’t yet fully made his own. But hear how brilliantly he “does” Severance Hall 2011-12

J.S. Bach in the chorus “Jesu Christe” and the great fugue that follows, “Cum Sancto Spiritu.” And also his Handelian mode in the sweeping style of choral writing, including echoes of the Hallelujah Chorus in the Gloria.

Elsewhere, however, and especially in the vocal solos, Mozart the Italian-trained young genius steps forward as . . . himself. He is also present in the many felicities of scoring, for example the nativity scene of “Et incarnatus est,” so delicately scored for winds and double bass, and wisely left alone by later restorer-orchestrators.

Mozart thought enough of this music to re-use portions of it in his oratorio Davidde penitente, K469, in 1785. Perhaps he left the Mass unfinished because he sensed that its various materials would never really hang together to form a coherent work. But thanks to his efforts, and to those of his wife, and a hasty friar in Augsburg, and several conscientious latter-day scholars, we have much music of disparate beauty to listen to and admire.

—David Wright © 2011 At a Glance Mozart composed his Mass in C minor in 1782-83, apparently without completing all of its movements. This music is almost certainly the music that Mozart conducted at St. Peter’s Church in Salzburg on October 26, 1783, although he probably augmented these movements with other pieces in order to render the complete mass text for that occasion. Some of the vocal and instrumental parts were not fully written out by Mozart, and have had to be reconstructed by later editors.

In its incomplete form, which is how it is most often presented in modern performance, the C-minor Mass runs almost 60 minutes. The score edited by H.C. Robbins Landon, used for

these performances, calls for an orchestra of flute, 2 oboes, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, timpani, organ, and strings, plus a quartet of vocal soloists and double chorus.

The Cleveland Orchestra first performed music from Mozart’s C-minor Mass in March 1956.

The entire work was given at Severance Hall in November 1966, with Robert Shaw conducting The Cleveland Orchestra, Chorus, and soloists.

The most recent Severance Hall performances were conducted by Franz Welser-Möst in November 2008. Following this weekend’s performances, the work will also be performed later this autumn as part of The Cleveland Orchestra’s 2011 Vienna Musikverein Residency.

In appreciation of their support, The Cleveland Orchestra and Musical Arts Association extend a special welcome to Keithley Foundation, whose guests are enjoying a musical afternoon at Severance Hall this weekend.

The Cleveland Orchestra

Malin Hartelius Swedish soprano Malin Hartelius is known for her roles in the operas of Mozart, Johann Strauss, and Richard Strauss.

She first collaborated with Franz Welser-Möst at the 1996 Salzburg Festival, and since her Cleveland Orchestra debut in 2002 has performed in many works under his direction.

Her most recent Cleveland performances were in Mozart’s Don Giovanni in March 2011 and Rossini’s Stabat Mater in May 2011. After studies at the Vienna Conservatory with Margarethe Bence, Malin Hartelius became a member of the Vienna State Opera for three seasons. She then joined the Zurich Opera, where she sang in many operas under Franz Welser-Möst’s direction.

In 2004, he won first prize in Austria’s Prima la Musica contest and, in 2007, was awarded the Eberhard-Wächter-Medal by the Vienna State Opera. He appeared in Johann Strauss’s The Gypsy Baron at the Tiroler Landestheater in 2003, and became a company member there three years later. Martin Mitterrutzner’s recent debuts include singing in Mozart’s Così fan tutte at the Staatsoper Bukarest, The Magic Flute at Zurich Opera, and Britten’s Billy Budd with the Frankfurt Opera, where he became a member at the beginning of this season. He makes his debut at the Salzburg Festival in 2012 in Richard Strauss’s Ariadne auf Naxos. In concert, Mr. Mitterrutzner has performed works by Bach, Bruckner, Haydn, and Mozart with orchestras in Germany, Spain, and Switzerland. As a Lied singer, he has appeared at the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Festival and Tiroler Landestheater. He made his Cleveland Orchestra debut in March 2010.

Ruben Drole Swiss baritone Ruben Drole was born to Spanish-Slovenian parents. He studied voice at the Musikhochschule Zurich with Jane Thorner Mengedoht, who continues as his current coach. Mr. Drole is a prizewinner of the CarlHeinrich-Ernst, Friedl Wald, and Pro Europa Foundation competitions.

CONCERTOS

January-February 2012 at Severance Hall

In January 2012, The Cleveland Orchestra and Franz Welser-Möst embark on a three-week program of presenting the three solo concertos of Johannes Brahms at Severance Hall, with violinist Lisa Batiashvili and pianist Yefim Bronfman. The mini-festival — featuring the Violin Concerto and both Piano Concertos — reunites Welser-Möst and Bronfman, who performed together in Franz’s debut here as a guest conductor in 1993. More recently, they performed together last year in a special outdoor concert with the Vienna Philharmonic that was televised internationally and released on the Deutsche Grammophon label.

“I’m really overwhelmed with excitement to play with Franz and The Cleveland Orchestra,” says Bronfman. “Franz has always been a great conductor, but he has also become such a great personality, with so much knowledge. He has grown into a major figure in music.” Playing the Brahms concertos is probably among “the greatest experiences I’ve ever had,” he continues. “Especially playing the second one, which is so majestic. There is Beethoven’s ‘Emperor’ Concerto, but maybe Brahms Two is also an Emperor.”

“From the very first note,” says Bronfman, “you can tell this is a journey, that this requires a collaboration between the soloist and the orchestra at all times. It’s always an exchange of ideas, back and forth. And the cello solo is arguably the most famous in the repertoire. I cannot think of a better orchestra than Cleveland to play with, for the chamber music character of the Second Concerto.’’

Sibelius Symphony No. 1 When did you start broadcasting The Cleveland Orchestra on WCLV? We’ve been broadcasting concerts since 1965. Now it’s 2011, and we’re still broadcasting Orchestra concerts as well as streaming them live over the internet. WCLV will be celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2012, and I’ve been commentator for what’s become the longest running continuous orchestra broadcast series in the history of American radio!

And, in Bob’s own words, from his WCLV invitation to Orchestra lovers everywhere . . .

“This is Robert Conrad. As a Cleveland Orchestra Trustee and member of the Orchestra’s Heritage Society, I’d like to invite you to join my wife, Jean, and me in support of this wonderful Cleveland treasure. The Orchestra provides all of us with world-class music right here in our hometown and represents Cleveland at its finest throughout the world. And one of the ways that we support the Orchestra is through a charitable gift annuity. A gift annuity allows us to make a generous gift and at the same time receive income for life. Please join Jean and me, and the many other Heritage Society members who have created a Cleveland Orchestra Gift Annuity.”

In conjunction with the Orchestra’s 60th Anniversary the following year, seat endowments for Severance Hall were inaugurated by the Women’s Committee of The Cleveland Orchestra.

Endowing a seat is a unique and meaningful way to honor someone’s love for The Cleveland Orchestra and its role in our community. Seat endowments help ensure the Orchestra’s financial stability for future generations of school children and concertgoers.

Each seat endowment gift is recognized by a nameplate affixed to the seat, associating the donor’s name with The Cleveland Orchestra. For information on how to endow a seat at Severance Hall, Reinberger Chamber Hall, or Blossom Music Center, please call Jim Kozel, Director of Legacy Giving, at 216-231-7549.

THE CLEVELAN D ORCHESTRA R E C O R D I N G S great gift ideas

New!

The Cleveland Orchestra’s catalog of recordings continues to grow. The newest DVD features Bruckner’s Eighth Symphony recorded live at Severance Hall under the direction of Music Director Franz Welser-Möst in 2010 and released in May 2011. And, just released, Dvořák’s opera Rusalka on CD, recorded live at the Salzburg Festival. Writing of the Rusalka performances, the reviewer for London’s Sunday Times praised the performance as “the most spellbinding account of Dvořák’s miraculous score I have ever heard, either in the theatre or on record. . . . I doubt this music can be better played than by the Clevelanders, the most ‘European’ of the American orchestras, with wind and brass soloists to die for and a string sound of superlative warmth and sensitivity.”

Other recordings released in the past year include two under the baton of Pierre Boulez and a second album of Mozart piano concertos with Mitsuko Uchida, whose first Cleveland Orchestra Mozart album won a Grammy Award this past year.

of the world’s most beautiful concert halls, Severance Hall has been home to The Cleveland Orchestra since its opening on February 5, 1931. After that first concert, a Cleveland newspaper editorial stated: “We believe that Mr. Severance intended to build a temple to music, and not a temple to wealth; and we believe it is his intention that all music lovers should be welcome there.” John Long Severance (president of the Musical Arts Association, 1921-1936) and his wife, Elisabeth, donated most of the funds necessary to erect this magnificent building. Designed by Walker & Weeks, its elegant HAILED AS ONE

Georgian exterior was constructed to harmonize with the classical architecture of other prominent buildings in the University Circle area. The interior of the building reflects a combination of design styles, including Art Deco, Egyptian Revival, Classicism, and Modernism. An extensive renovation, restoration, and expansion of the facility was completed in January 2000. In addition to serving as the home of The Cleveland Orchestra for concerts and rehearsals, the building is rented by a wide variety of local organizations and private citizens for performances, meetings, and gala events each year.

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 Festival, in residencies from Miami to Vienna, and on tour around the world, The Cleveland Orchestra sets standards of artistic excellence, creative programming, and community engagement.

The partnership with Franz Welser-Möst, now in its tenth season, and with a commitment to the Orchestra’s centennial in 2018, has moved the ensemble forward with a series of new and ongoing initiatives, including: UNDER THE LEADERSHIP

the establishment of residencies around the world, fostering creative artistic growth and an expanded financial base, including an ongoing residency at the Vienna Musikverein (the first of its kind by an American orchestra); an annual Miami Residency involving three weeks of concerts, community activities, and educational presentations and collaborations; concert tours from coast to coast in the United States, including regular appearances at Carnegie Hall; regular concert tours to Europe (including biennial residencies at the Lucerne Festival) and Asia (including a residency at Tokyo’s Suntory Hall in the autumn 2010); ongoing recording activities, including new releases under the direction of Franz Welser-Möst and Pierre Boulez as well as a series of DVD concert presentations of four of Bruckner’s symphonies; additional new residencies at Indiana University and at New York’s Lincoln Center Festival; an expanded offering of education and community programs with a comprehensive approach designed to make music an integral and regular part of everyday life in Northeast Ohio; continuing and expanded educational partnerships with schools, colleges, and universities from across Northeast Ohio and in the Miami-Dade community; creative new artistic collaborations, including staged works and chamber music performances, with arts institutions in Northeast Ohio and across the Miami-Dade community; the return of staged opera to Severance Hall with the presentation of acclaimed Zurich Opera productions of the three Mozart/Da Ponte operas;

an array of new concert offerings (including Fridays@7 and Celebrity Series at Severance Hall as well as movie, themed, and family presentations at Blossom) to make a wider variety of concerts more available and affordable; the return of ballet to Blossom, with performances by The Joffrey Ballet.

The Cleveland Orchestra was founded in 1918 by a group of local citizens intent on creating an ensemble worthy of joining America’s ranks of major symphony orchestras. Over the ensuing decades, the Orchestra quickly grew from a fine regional organization to being one of the most admired symphony orchestras in the world. The opening of Severance Hall as the Orchestra’s home in 1931 brought a special pride to the ensemble and its hometown, as well as providing an enviable and intimate acoustic environment in which to develop and refine the Orchestra’s artistry. Year-round performances became a reality in 1968 with the opening of Blossom Music Center, one of the most beautiful and acoustically admired outdoor concert facilities in the United States.
