Perspectivesfrom the Executive Director April-May 2013 At the end of March, The Cleveland Orchestra received a $10 million, five-year grant from The Cleveland Foundation — the largest such commitment to an arts organization in the Foundation’s history and one of the largest gifts ever received by the Orchestra. We are deeply grateful for this exceptional grant and for the confidence in the Orchestra’s strategic direction that it represents. Over the past year, the Foundation’s staff and board have rigorously assessed the Orchestra’s ongoing transformation, and we sincerely appreciate their generous support of this important work.

The Cleveland Foundation grant is a testament to much more than the Orchestra’s historical ranking among the world’s best — it is an extraordinary commitment to our programming innovations and our active community engagement. Sweeping changes at The Cleveland Orchestra have taken root in recent years and are starting to bear fruit.

These include our efforts to foster future audiences, to shape and focus our education programs, and our work to build strong and meaningful working partnerships across the Northeast Ohio community.

We are on target for a record-breaking season in ticket sales here at Severance Hall, including a significant increase in the number of young people eagerly enjoying and energizing our regular classical concerts. These numbers are the direct result of strong marketing programs (such as Student Advantage and Under18s Free) for our core symphonic concerts and innovative programming changes (including the KeyBank Fridays@7 and Celebrity series).

Our education and community programs are also scoring strong successes. Our longstanding commitment to education was celebrated in March, including a unique showcase concert featuring all our youth ensembles performing together with The Cleveland Orchestra for the first time — a special event that was telecast on WVIZ. In addition, we believe that the introduction of “Make Music!” as a focus and catalyst for our ongoing work in music education will bring new understanding and energy to these programs. New initiatives in the community include the Orchestra’s inaugural neighborhood residency, “At Home in Gordon Square,” which unleashes a week filled with free events and performances, May 11-17, as part of the vibrant renaissance of this westside neighborhood.

Good news about The Cleveland Orchestra and Northeast Ohio will continue. The initial stages of our Sound for the Centennial Campaign’s endowment and special fundraising phases have been strong, as evidenced by The Cleveland Foundation’s generous gift and by commitments from additional forward-looking organizations and individuals (see pages 52-53). This Campaign spans the decade up to the Orchestra’s hundredth birthday in 2018, and comprises all our fundraising efforts across the next five years.

With your support and enthusiasm, there will be more good news ahead — for The Cleveland Orchestra and the entire Northeast Ohio community.

Robert Shaw rehearsing The Cleveland Orchestra Chorus for performances of Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis in December 1963, in what was then the chorus rehearsal room at Severance Hall. The allvolunteer Chorus is celebrating the 60th anniversary of its founding throughout the 2012-13 season.

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 eleventh 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); expansion of education and community programs in Northeast Ohio to make music an integral and regular part of everyday life for more people; the 2012-13 season includes the launch of an annual Neighborhood Residency pro-

gram that will bring The Cleveland Orchestra to neighborhoods across the region for an intensive week of special activities and performances. First stop is the Gordon Square Arts District in Cleveland’s Detroit/Shoreway neighborhood in May 2013; an ongoing residency in Florida, under the name Cleveland Orchestra Miami, involving an annual series of concerts and community activities, coupled with an expansive set of educational presentations and collaborations (based on successful educational programs pioneered at home in Cleveland); creative new artistic collaborations, including staged works and chamber music performances, with arts institutions in Northeast Ohio and in Miami; 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; concert tours from coast to coast in the United States, including annual appearances at Carnegie Hall; regular concert tours to Europe and Asia; ongoing recording activities, including new releases under the direction of Franz Welser-Möst, Mitsuko Uchida, and Pierre Boulez, as well as a series of DVD concert presentations of symphonies by Anton Bruckner; a concentrated and ongoing effort to develop future generations of audiences for Cleveland Orchestra concerts in Northeast Ohio, through research, targeted discounts, social media offers and promotion, and student ticket programs; continuing and expanded educational partnerships with schools, colleges, and universities across Northeast Ohio and in the Miami-Dade community; additional new residencies at Indiana University and at New York’s Lincoln Center Festival; the return of ballet as a regular part of the Orchestra’s presentations, featuring performances by The Joffrey Ballet; the 2012-13 season featured the Orchestra’s first fully staged performances of Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker.

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 in 1931 of Severance Hall as the Orchestra’s home 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.

T H E 2 0 1 2 - 1 3 S E A S O N marks Franz Welser-Möst’s eleventh 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 another at Switzerland’s Lucerne Festival. 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 residency in Florida under the name Cleveland Orchestra Miami and, in 2011, launched a new biennial residency at New York’s Lincoln Center Festival.

To the start of this season, The Cleveland Orchestra has performed fourteen world and fifteen United States premieres under Franz Welser-Möst’s direction.

Through the Roche Commissions project, he and the Orchestra have premiered works by Harrison Birtwistle, Chen Yi, Hanspeter Kyburz, George Benjamin, Toshio Hosokawa, and Matthias Pintscher 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 Pintscher, Marc-André Dalbavie, Susan Botti, Julian Anderson, Johannes Maria Staud, Jörg Widmann, and Sean Shepherd.

Franz Welser-Möst has led a series of 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 MozartDa Ponte operas. He led concert performances of Strauss’s Salome at Severance Hall and at Carnegie Hall in May 2012.

Franz Welser-Möst became general music director of the Vienna State Opera in 2010. 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 SvenEric Bechtolf, and critically praised new productions of Hindemith’s Cardillac and Janáček’s Katya Kabanova and From the House of the Dead. During the 2012-13 season, his Vienna performances include Wagner’s Parsifal, Strauss’s Arabella and Ariadne auf Naxos, Puccini’s La Bohème, and Berg’s Wozzeck.

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; he conducted the New Year’s Day concert again at the start of 2013 and also leads the Philharmonic in a series of concerts at New York’s Carnegie Hall in March 2013. 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 Bruckner symphonies, presented in three acoustically distinctive venues (the Abbey of St. Florian in Austria, Vienna’s Musikverein, and 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, 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, a Decoration of Honor from the Republic of Austria for his artistic achievements, 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.

The Cleveland Foundation has awarded The Cleveland Orchestra a $10 million grant to support its ongoing efforts to cultivate new and broader audiences and to build a strong endowment to sustain the nearly century-old institution. The grant . . . is a demonstration of the grantmaking organization’s confidence in the strategic direction the orchestra is taking, said Robert Eckardt, The Cleveland Foundation’s executive vice president. . . . “It was time to step up and provide a significant commitment to the Orchestra as they work through the challenging environment they find themselves in,” Mr. Eckardt said. . . . “They are an important part of Cleveland’s brand, and it’s difficult to imagine Cleveland without a world-class orchestra.” . . . Gary Hanson, the orchestra’s executive director, stated that The Cleveland Foundation’s commitment . . . adds “meaningful momentum” to the Orchestra’s Sound for the Centennial fundraising campaign, which runs through 2018 — the orchestra’s 100-year anniversary.

“The Cleveland Foundation’s just-announced $10 million grant to The Cleveland Orchestra — the largest arts grant in the foundation’s history — is a ringing vote of confidence in the future of this treasured local institution and its pacesetting innovations. . . . The grant is a welcome affirmation that The Cleveland Orchestra will be making beautiful music for another 100 years.”

THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA

On March 28, The Cleveland Foundation announced the awarding of a five-year, $10 million grant to The Cleveland Orchestra in support of the Orchestra’s recent and ongoing efforts to attract a new, broader audience and to transform itself for the future. Given as part of the Orchestra’s Sound for the Centennial Campaign, this unprecedented grant is the largest single grant to an arts organization in the Foundation’s 99-year history.

“We are deeply grateful for the Cleveland Foundation’s extraordinary grant and the confidence in the Orchestra’s strategic direction that it represents,” says Gary Hanson, executive director of The Cleveland Orchestra. “Over the past year, the foundation’s staff and board have rigorously assessed the Orchestra’s ongoing transformation and we sincerely appreciate their generous commitment to our work.”

“Through the years, the Cleveland Foundation has stepped up to provide significant support to major Northeast Ohio institutions at pivotal times,” remarked Ronald B. Richard, president and chief executive officer of the Foundation. “We intend that this grant will catalyze additional leadership funding for the Orchestra’s creative efforts in the community to make this world-class institution accessible and enjoyable to all of Greater Cleveland for years to come.”

The grant to the Orchestra was part of a record $26.6 million in grants in the first quarter of 2013 authorized by the Foundation’s board of directors, including grants in support of core neighborhood and youth initiatives, educational institutions, and efforts to create a vibrant downtown. Established in 1914, the Cleveland Foundation is the world’s first community foundation and one of the largest today. Through the generosity of donors, the foundation improves the lives of Greater Clevelanders by building community endowment, addressing needs through grantmaking, and providing leadership on vital issues.

Longterm generosity and new commitments by Kulas Foundation and John P. Murphy Foundation recognized through the naming of Severance Hall’s upper lobby and dress circle seating

THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA

Two important parts of Severance Hall — the dress circle seating area of the Concert Hall, and the adjoining dress circle lobby — have been named in recognition of longterm support for The Cleveland Orchestra by two extraordinary local organizations: the John P. Murphy Foundation and the Kulas Foundation. Both have long historical relationships with the Orchestra and have made generous new funding commitments to the Sound for the Centennial Campaign, which spans the decade leading to the Orchestra’s 100th anniversary in 2018.

“These two foundations represent a special kind of strong, ongoing commitment to the Orchestra — and to the entire Northeast Ohio community,” said Gary Hanson, executive director of The Cleveland Orchestra, in announcing the named spaces. “We are humbled by their generosity and by their faith in the Orchestra’s efforts to transform itself and to harness the passion and power of music to serve more people across the region.”

The John P. Murphy Foundation is now permanently honored at Severance Hall with the naming of the John P. Murphy Dress Circle Lobby. The Foundation and its trustees and officers have been generous supporters of The Cleveland Orchestra since 1970, contributing more than $7.5 million. John P. Murphy began serving on the Musical Arts Association board of trustees in 1953 and continued as a trustee until 1968. The Foundation has made a ten-year commitment of funding to The Cleveland Orchestra as part of the comprehensive Sound for the Centennial Campaign.

“The John P. Murphy Foundation has long understood the tremendous value that The Cleveland Orchestra holds for all of Northeast Ohio,” says Nancy W. McCann, president of the Foundation’s board of trustees. “Our $3 million commitment to the Sound for the Centennial Campaign is an investment in this community that will help the Orchestra sustain its world-renowned level of artistic excellence while engag-

26

ing more local residents through transformative and innovative musical programming.”

With the naming of the Kulas Dress Circle, the Orchestra permanently honors the Kulas Foundation, which has generously supported The Cleveland Orchestra for three-quarters of a century. With their lifelong passion of music, Elroy J. Kulas and his wife, Fynette, began supporting the Orchestra in 1919, long before they established the Kulas Foundation in 1937. Both later served as active members of the Musical Arts Association board of trustees. In the past three decades, the Kulas Foundation has contributed more than $10 million to The Cleveland Orchestra. Their generosity has helped support education programs as well as the construction and naming of Kulas Plaza at Blossom Music Center to provide updated services for donors.

They recently committed $3 million for the Sound for the Centennial Campaign.

“We are extraordinarily grateful to Kulas Foundation trustees Richard W. Pogue, Patrick F. McCartan, and Nancy W. McCann for their leadership in working to support The Cleveland Orchestra,” said Gary Hanson.

“The Cleveland Orchestra is among Northeast Ohio’s top cultural gems,” continued Nancy McCann. “With our commitment to this Campaign, the Kulas Foundation honors the ensemble’s 100th anniversary and looks forward to the Orchestra’s ongoing role as a strong and vibrant part of this community’s future.”

THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA

The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation has awarded a new $2.5 million grant to The Cleveland Orchestra to support artistically ambitious programming with special emphasis on opera and ballet. The gift — the largest to the Orchestra in the Foundation’s history — supports the type of programming and partnerships that challenge and expand the Orchestra and help distinguish the ensemble from its peers.

“We are grateful to the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation for supporting artistic initiatives as part of our ongoing transformation,” said Gary Hanson, the Orchestra’s executive director, in making the announcement. “Of national philanthropic foundations, the Mellon Foundation is among the most important in the support of symphony orchestras. We deeply appreciate their recognition and endorsement of the work of The Cleveland Orchestra.”

The Mellon Foundation award will support opera performances in the next three seasons at Severance Hall, beginning with semi-staged performances of Janáček’s The Cunning Little Vixen in May 2014, led by music director Franz Welser-Möst. In addition, the grant also supports world-renowned guest artists in longterm collaborations with The Cleveland Orchestra, such as conductor Ton Koopman, pianist Mitsuko Uchida, and music director laureate Christoph von Dohnányi.

The New York-based Andrew W. Mellon Foundation has a long history of supporting The Cleveland Orchestra and of funding efforts to reach new listeners. Its first gift to the ensemble was in 1977, and a grant of $800,000 in 2009 supported the then-new “Fridays@7”series as well as performances of opera, chamber music, and collaborations with Chicago’s Joffrey Ballet.

The new Mellon gift and its challenge component through June 2016 add momentum to current fundraising efforts, which include comprehensive commitments to annual giving and legacy gifts to the Orchestra’s endowment.

Education & Community

The Cleveland Orchestra notes the death on the morning of April 16 of retired Orchestra trumpeter David Zauder, in Colorado surrounded by his family.

David was hired by George Szell in 1958, joining the trumpet section of The Cleveland Orchestra.

He served until the close of the 1996-97 season, taking on the concurrent role of principal cornet and retiring after 39 years — longer than any other trumpeter in the Orchestra’s history. Equal in importance to his service as a member of the Orchestra was David’s extraordinary tenure as the Orchestra’s personnel manager, a post he held for 25 seasons. He had earlier served as assistant personnel manager, 1960-71.

While much of David’s work was out of the spotlight, he stepped forward as a soloist with the Orchestra on several occasions. His final solo appearance was for the opening night gala concert in 1996. He was also the featured soloist in twenty concerts with the Blossom Festival Concert Band, an organization for which he was the guiding spirit from its inception in Blossom’s second season in 1969. In recognition of his extraordinary service, David Zauder was the recipient of the Orchestra’s Distinguished Service Award in 1997.

His great humanity and his love of life were shaped by his personal history as a Holocaust survivor. David Zauder was born in Krakow, Poland, in 1928 or 1931 — his birth year is uncertain as his birth certificate was destroyed during the war. As a youth, he was interned in the Auschwitz, Flossenburg, and Sachsenhausen concentration camps. David survived and began his new life in America on May 20, 1946. His story has been told in the published work of his daughter, Karen Brass.

A special memorial service will be held to honor David Zauder in Severance Hall’s Reinberger Chamber Hall on Sunday morning, May 26, beginning at 10:30 a.m.

THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA

The George Gund Foundation awarded a $3 million grant at its February board meeting to support The Cleveland Orchestra’s Sound for the Centennial Campaign. Pledged over six years, the award honors the late George Gund III, who was a trustee of the Musical Arts Association.

The Foundation’s commitment permanently endows a new Fund for Artistic Excellence in George Gund’s name, providing immediate support for the Orchestra’s core artistic programming for the community. “This commitment to the Campaign not only celebrates George Gund’s legacy and leadership at the Orchestra,” said David Abbott, the Foundation’s executive director. “It also ensures that one of our community’s most valuable assets can continue to serve Northeast Ohio at the

32

highest levels of artistic excellence.”

George Gund III was elected as an international trustee in 1994 and served on the board of the Musical Arts Association for 19 years. The new gift is the largest gift made by the Gund Foundation to The Cleveland Orchestra, and ranks among the largest institutional leadership commitments to the Sound for the Centennial Campaign thus far, as well as among the Foundation’s largest commitments to a cultural organization in Northeast Ohio.

The Orchestra’s Sound for the Centennial Campaign runs through the Orchestra’s centennial in 2018 and will ensure that the Orchestra can continue to thrive now and into the future by building a significant endowment and providing immediate support for artistic excellence and community and education programs.

Spring audition dates for the choral groups sponsored by The Cleveland Orchestra have been announced. The auditions — for adults, youth, and children — are for membership in groups singing during the 2013 Blossom Music Festival and the 2013-14 Season at Severance Hall. Auditions will take place in May and June.

The Cleveland Orchestra Choruses embody a long-standing commitment to choral music in which community members of all ages have the opportunity to participate.

The Cleveland Orchestra Children’s Chorus is open to students in grades 6-8 and directed by Ann Usher, and the Cleveland Orchestra Children’s Preparatory Chorus is open to students in grades 5-8 and directed by Suzanne Walters. Both groups are holding auditions on May 20, June 3, and June 8. The Children’s Chorus, formed in 1967, provides musical training in vocal production and choral performance skills.

The Children’s Preparatory Chorus provides children with initial choral experiences to which younger singers may not have been exposed, while establishing a solid foundation in vocal production techniques.

To audition, children are asked to sing one verse of “America” (My Country, ’Tis of Thee) with piano accompaniment in the key of his or her choice and one verse of “America the Beautiful” (Oh beautiful, for spacious skies) without accompaniment in the key of D. Singing scales and doing some rhythmic exercises may also be included in the audition, for which an accompanist is provided.

Students in grades 9-12 are welcome to audition for the Cleveland Orchestra Youth Chorus, directed by Lisa Wong, on May 4, June 1, or June 2.

T H E S E C O N D H A L F O F the 18th century, which we now know as music’s “Classical” period, bestowed a wealth of compositions to the orchestral literature. Many of these are masterpieces that are wellknown to much of the musical public, notably the mature symphonies of Haydn and Mozart and most of the latter composer’s piano concertos. But the great quantity of music written during the Classical period guarantees that some worthy and fascinating pieces remain little known and seldom performed.

This weekend’s Cleveland Orchestra program samples some of these neglected works. It includes two symphonies by Mozart, neither of them among the half-dozen or so that have become familiar concert fare. We begin with a piece that is the first symphony Mozart composed (he wrote it at just eight years of age).

Later, the concerts on Saturday and Sunday feature a more mature symphony from the composer’s prolific adolescence.

With these symphonies come some true oddities. The first is a concerto in all but name, one that is singular in its use of timpani as the solo instrument. And, on Saturday and Sunday, we also hear a quite unusual piece of program music, one written to represent nothing less than the creation of material order out of elemental chaos.

The concert concludes with the only piece on the program that is widely known — Franz Joseph Haydn’s “Farewell” Symphony. This work is famous for its finale, which embodies both a slender drama and a message from the composer to his employer. But the rest of the symphony is just as remarkable for its agitated themes and lacerating harmonies, qualities that make this one of the most arresting symphonies of its era.

Symphony No. 1 in E-flat major, K16 composed 1764 MOZART’S WORK

Severance Hall 2012-13

as a symphonist spanned very nearly his entire career. Between his eighth and thirty-second years, he produced over fift y compositions in this form, more than three dozen of which are now recognized as original symphonies in the accepted canon of his works. (The others are symphonic pieces the composer derived second-hand from his serenades and opera overtures.) The last of these compositions is the magnificent “Jupiter” Symphony, a pillar of the symphonic literature and one of the crown jewels of Mozart’s output. The first is the Symphony in E-flat major, cataloged as K16 in the chronological numbering done by Ludwig Ritter von Köchel in the middle of the 19th century.

Mozart composed the E-flat symphony, K16, in 1764, in London, when he was all of eight years old. He had come to the English capital in the company of his family during his “grand tour” as a child prodigy.

In a memoir written after the composer’s death, Mozart’s sister, Maria Anna (or “Nannerl,” as she was known familiarly), recalled that in August 1764, while the family was staying in London, their father, Leopold Mozart, fell seriously ill. Until he recovered, Nannerl and Wolfgang were forbidden to touch the keyboard. The son therefore composed his first symphony directly onto paper, his sister copying the music as he did so.

It is not certain that the work Nannerl referred to is, in fact, K16. Some Mozart scholars have hypothesized an even earlier effort. No such work, however, has been uncovered by researchers, and Georges de Saint-Foix, author of the classic study The Symphonies of Mozart, declared himself convinced that this E-flat symphony was indeed Mozart’s initial foray into symphonic writing.

Whether or not K16 actually represents Mozart’s first symphonic essay, it forecasts his mature style to a remarkable degree. Indeed, Mozart’s earliest extant symphony presages his last one almost uncannily, even though it is, understandably, far less mature and intricately wrought.

The work’s initial phrase presents a strong unison statement followed at once by a more lyrical one, thus establishing two poles of expression in its very first moments. This would remain a favorite Mozartean device; we find a notable instance About the Music — May 3, 4, 5

At a Glance Mozart probably wrote this symphony in 1764 in London.

The occasion of its first performance is unknown.

This symphony runs about 10 minutes in performance. Mozart’s score specifies an orchestra of 2 oboes, 2 horns, and strings.

The Cleveland Orchestra first played this symphony at concerts in October 1976, conducted by Lorin Maazel. It was most recently performed in March 2003, conducted by Michael Stern.

of it again at the outset of his final symphony.

An even more tangible connection between K16 and Symphony No. 41 from 1788 occurs in the second movement. Here, after the opening phrase, the horns give out a figure whose first four notes are the celebrated “Jupiter motif,” the one Mozart would develop so brilliantly in the finale of his last symphonic essay.

For all this, K16 is not merely a precursor of glories to come. Rather, it has charms quite its own, not the least being the abundant energy of its opening movement. If the Andante second movement is uncharacteristically lacking in melodic interest, its harmonies are nevertheless expressive and deftly controlled. And the ensuing third-movement Presto shows Mozart already cognizant of the 18th-century “hunting finale” tradition.

THE OFTEN ARDUOUS,

rarely glamorous but nevertheless important task of musical scholarship has restored to us many lost compositions of the 18th century, including works by such important figures as Bach, Vivaldi, Haydn, and Mozart. Occasionally, however, musicological research turns up unsuspected curiosities by more obscure composers.

These works may not be masterpieces, but they nevertheless help to expand out our understanding of music from the Baroque and Classical periods, and enliven our present-day concert life. Such a composition is the Symphony in C major with Eight Obbligato Timpani by Johann Carl Christian Fischer.

Fischer was one of the thousands of unsung musicians whose creditable if unspectacular talents contributed to the rich fabric of musical life in central Europe during the 18th century. Of the very few biographical details known about him, the first that should be mentioned is that he is not the well-known same-named oboist-composer Johann Christian Fischer (17331800), a contemporary of Haydn’s whose concertos still figure in the oboe repertory. (Understandably, these two musicians are frequently confused, or their biographies merged together as one, in online entries and databases.)

According to research done by Harrison Powley, professor of music at Brigham Young University (and an early teacher at the Eastman School of Music of this weekend’s soloist, Paul Yancich), the Fischer who concerns us here was an obscure north German music copyist, composer, and theater director at the ducal court in Schwerin, one of the many small principalities, duchies, baronies, and other provincial entities that made up what would eventually become the nation-state of Germany.

Among other duties, Fischer was responsible for the ceremonial pageantry at the palace of Duke Friedrich Franz I. He probably composed his symphony with timpani for some august court function, though what remains unknown. In any event, it was almost certainly written before 1792, the year Fischer retired from the employ of Friedrich Franz I. For many years this piece was attributed to another composer, Johann Wilhelm Hertel, but recent research has ascerAbout the Music — May 3, 4, 5

At a Glance We do not know when Fischer composed this Symphony with Eight Obbligato Timpani, although it was probably before his retirement from Friedrich Franz I’s service in 1792. The work’s first performance is also unknown.

This work runs about 15 minutes in performance.

The score calls for 2 oboes, 2 trumpets, and strings, plus for eight timpani.

tained Fischer’s authorship.

Despite its title, this work is not really a symphony but a concerto for timpani, including a fully notated cadenza at the end of the first movement. The eight drums called for are tuned to the notes of a C major scale running from G to the G an octave above.

Through much of the piece, particularly those passages utilizing the full orchestra, Fischer employs the timpani in the conventional manner — that is, to support the bass line by playing a few fundamental pitches that give rhythmic and textural emphasis to changes of harmony. But in the most interesting episodes, he exploits the timpani battery’s ability to articulate melodic lines or more sophisticated accompanying figures such as we might find in late 18th-century keyboard music.

The work follows the usual three-movement design of a Classical-period concerto. The initial movement begins with a concerted orchestral passage, the standard opening for a concerto in the 18th century. Near the conclusion of this movement comes a cadenza solo written out by Fischer (to which Yancich has added some personal embellishments, as a soloist in the original era might well have done).

The Adagio second movement provides a brief transition to the rondo-form finale. The third movement’s several sections entail changes of tempo. The brief cadenza that revisits the principal theme following an adagio interlude has been written by Yancich.

20th-century composers have occasionally turned to percussion instruments as a concerto resource, and percussionists now can appear as soloists in works by Darius Milhaud, Joseph Schwantner, James Oliverio, and other composers. Whatever other virtues it may possess, Fischer’s piece stands as perhaps the first concerto to use drums as the solo instrument. Even the enterprising Antonio Vivaldi, whose nearly 450 extant concertos employ nearly every other instrument known during the 18th century, never ventured anything like it.

Symphony No. 17 in G major, K129 composed 1772

by

Wolfgang Amadè

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

M O Z A R T W A S A N E X T R A O R D I N A R Y child prodigy, as demonstrated by having composed his first symphony before his ninth birthday. But it was during his adolescence that he first matured as a composer of orchestral music. In 1772, the year he turned sixteen, Mozart completed seven symphonies, and they show a markedly increased assurance in his handling of all facets of the genre.

Among these works is a symphony in the key of G major, written in May of that year, which the great 19th-century musicologist Ludwig Köchel eventually entered as work No. 129 in his pioneering catalog of Mozart’s compositions.

In this work, Mozart dispenses with the minuet, which would later become a standard feature of the Classical-period symphony, thereby limiting the piece to three movements. The first begins with a sonorous chord that seems to propel the initial theme forward. Both this subject and the second, which follows in due course, feature a Lombard rhythm — two-note figures, the first note played very quickly — and Mozart makes dramatic use of that rhythmic motif during the brief development episode at the center of the movement.

There follows a melodious slow movement with a contrapuntal development passage. And then the third movement begins with a fanfare that recalls once more the hunting-finale tradition, which Mozart had acknowledged in his very first symphony. The music that follows races along in rollicking triplet rhythms, almost creating the impression of a jig.

Overture: Chaos, from the symphony Les Élémens composed 1737 T H E M O S T C E LE B R AT E D

Jean-Féry

REBEL

Severance Hall 2012-13

member of a family of French composers and instrumentalists, Jean-Féry Rebel enjoyed a successful career as violinist, composer, and conductor in Paris. Musically capable and politically astute, he succeeded to a series of increasingly prestigious positions within the Académie de Musique (forerunner of the Paris Opéra) and the royal court. Among these posts was court chamber composer, in which capacity Rebel wrote vocal music and works for small instrumental ensembles.

Rebel’s most notable compositions, however, took the form of “symphonies” conceived for choreography by leading dancers of the day. (Ballet enjoyed considerable favor in Paris during the 17th and 18th centuries, when Louis XIV’s enthusiasm for terpsichorean entertainment resulted in the creation of lavish dance productions.) Rebel’s crowning work of this kind was his score for a spectacle entitled Les Élémens (or “The Elements”).

Written in 1737 — Rebel was then over 70, and this was his final composition — Les Élémens purported to “depict by dance and by music,” the composer explained in the preface to his score, the “distinctive characters of the elements,” meaning the four classical forms of matter — earth, air, fire, and water.

Rebel suggests each of them through picturesque musical figuration: flowing melodies on the flute for water, lively passagework in the violins for fire, and so forth.

Rebel called Les Élémens a “Simphonie,” though neither its compositional design nor its musical details suggest anything we would today call a symphony. Rather, they present unmistakably a dance suite. The most substantial, and by far the most remarkable, of its nine movements is the overture.

This, Rebel asserted in his preface, depicts “Chaos itself, that confusion which reigned among the elements before the instant in which, according to inviolable laws, they took the places prescribed to them in the order of nature.” Its opening moment seems chaotic indeed, for the initial sound is a harsh chord encompassing all seven pitches of a D minor scale. Over the course of the first several measures, this dissonance gradually resolves to a single pitch, thus providing a graphic representaAbout the Music — May 3, 4, 5

tion of chaos giving way to order.

Rebel then goes on to weave musical images of the four elements into a somewhat diverse movement. The whole piece is one of the more striking examples of pictorial music from the Baroque period and anticipates by three-quarters of a century the “Representation of Chaos” that opens Haydn’s oratorio The Creation.

—Paul Schiavo © 2013

At a Glance Rebel wrote his dance suite Les Élémens (“The Elements”) in 1737.

It was performed for the first time on September 27, 1737, in Paris.

The overture, Le cahos (“Chaos”), from Les Élémens runs about 5 minutes in performance.

The score calls for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, bassoon, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani, harpsichord, and strings.

Symphony No. 45 (“Farewell”) in F-sharp minor composed 1772 H AY D N ’ S “ F A R E W E L L” S Y M P H O N Y ,

by

F. Joseph

HAYDN

born March 31, 1732 Rohrau, Austria died May 31, 1809 Vienna

Severance Hall 2012-13

known as No. 45 in the standard listing of his output, is one of the composer’s most famous works. Certainly it deserves its renown — but not just for its unusual finale and the remarkable anecdote attached to it. By any measure, this is one of the most expressive and keenly original symphonies of the eighteenth century. Each of its four movements offers unconventional developments, and the whole is marked by a startling intensity of feeling.

But first, the story of the finale. By 1772, the year he wrote the “Farewell” Symphony, Haydn had served a full decade as Kapellmeister — conductor and resident composer — of the musical establishment maintained by Nikolaus, Prince Esterházy, one of the most powerful and wealthy peers of the Hapsburg empire. Among Haydn’s duties in this post was to write several symphonies each year for the court orchestra.

In the mid-1760s, Prince Nikolaus began to build a splendid rural estate about fift y miles from Vienna. He soon established the habit of moving his court there for the summer season, initially for a few months but gradually for greater and greater periods. While “Esterháza” was under construction, it could not accommodate the Prince’s full entourage, and the court musicians consequently had to sojourn there without the company of their wives. This, of course, did not sit well with the players, and their frustration grew acute during the autumn of 1772, when Prince Nikolaus tarried far longer than usual at his country retreat.

Haydn felt it incumbent upon himself to petition the prince on behalf of the orchestra, but this mission had to be carried out delicately. Although admired as one of the outstanding composers of his day, he was still essentially a servant to the Esterházy family, a status that did not allow him to make demands upon his employer. Finally, however, he hit on an ingenious solution. When Prince Nikolaus attended the performance of the composer’s latest symphony, he was surprised to find the piece gradually winding down, as one player after another concluded his part, blew out his candle, and left the hall. At last only two violinists remained. To his credit, the Prince reportedly not only perceived the message intended by this scene but ordered his court to depart for Vienna the following day.

Its unique finale alone would distinguish the “Farewell” Symphony, but even apart from this the composition commands our attention and admiration. In the music he composed around 1770, Haydn achieved an unprecedented degree of originality and sense of passion, and this symphony represents one of his most daring essays of this period. We can hardly mistake the searing emotions of the symphony’s opening movement, whose agitated rhythms and piercing harmonies convey a sense of desperate crisis, one that even a dulcet melody introduced midway through cannot long dispel.

Though more relaxed, the second movement maintains musical tension through unexpected turns of line and harmony. Harmonic surprises enliven the ensuing third-movement minuet also — indeed, we do not pass the third measure before encountering a startling “wrong” chord (“wrong” except for Haydn’s convincing use of it).

The fourth-movement finale begins with a vigorous Presto section that unfolds much as we might expect the closing movement of a Haydn symphony to do. Having run its course, it gives way unexpectedly to the “Farewell” Adagio. Even deprived of its original purpose and context, the slight drama of the orchestra’s players quitting the proceedings one or several at a time remains curiously affecting.

At a Glance Haydn wrote his “Farewell” Symphony in the autumn of 1772. It was first performed at Esterháza, a palatial estate east of Vienna, near the present-day border of Austria and Hungary.

This symphony runs about 25 minutes in performance. Haydn scored it for 2 oboes, bassoon, 2 horns, and strings.

The Cleveland Orchestra first played Haydn’s “Farewell” Symphony during the ensemble’s 1925-26 season.

It has been infrequently performed since then, most recently at Severance Hall in 1964, conducted by Louis Lane, and at Blossom in 1977, led by Erich Kunzel.

INTRODUCING THE PROGRAM

Handel & The Kings GEORGE FRIDERIC HANDEL

was born in Germany, apprenticed in Italy, but pursued his career mostly in England. The success he achieved there was such that he became not just the most celebrated but the essential English musician. For some four decades, beginning in about 1715, hardly any important public occasion was complete without music by Handel. Moreover, the composer enjoyed close ties with three successive English monarchs. Their patronage was an important aspect of his high standing with the public, and his music served to amplify their glory and regal status.

Each of the three compositions by Handel that comprise this week’s Cleveland Orchestra program is connected with England’s royal rulers. The first, the first suite from the popular Water Music, originally served as entertainment for King George I and a party of his aristocratic guests during an evening excursion by barge down the Thames.

We then hear two works written to honor that monarch’s son and successor, King George II. Handel composed the choral anthem Zadok the Priest for the ceremonies attending the coronation of George II. Both its biblical text and the music itself convey a jubilant tone suitable to the occasion.

We find much the same qualities in the “Dettingen” Te Deum. Handel wrote this work to celebrate the victory by the English army, led by George II himself, over French forces at the battle of Dettingen, in 1743 (the king is portrayed on horseback at the battle in the painting above by John Wootton). The King must have been pleased with Handel’s musical tribute.

HANDEL

Severance Hall 2012-13

oratorio Messiah, Handel’s Water Music is his most familiar composition. It was created for a truly royal entertainment — an excursion by barge on the Thames hosted by England’s King George I. Although Handel was born in Halle, in what is now east-central Germany, he had emigrated to England and quickly established himself as the pre-eminent composer in London during the second decade of the 18th century. He found particular favor with the royal family, whose patronage made him something of a national institution.

But events surrounding the succession of the English crown soon threatened to upset this happy situation, events that entailed consequences Handel probably could not have anticipated when he moved to London. At the time he took up residence in England, in 1712, the composer already held the post of Kapellmeister, or music director, at the court of Georg Ludwig, Elector of Hanover. He had obtained leave to visit London with the understanding that he would return to Hanover within a reasonable time. But his rising fortunes in England gave Handel little incentive to leave, and his stay in London became a matter not of weeks or months but of years.

We do not know whether the truant Kapellmeister ignored calls to return to Hanover or, indeed, what the state of his relationship with Georg Ludwig was at this time. If, in fact, it was strained, Handel may well have felt some apprehension when, in August 1714, England’s Queen Anne died without leaving an heir and the English crown passed to the House of Hanover.

In September, his nominal employer arrived in London as King George I. Handel’s earliest biographers proposed that the composer was in disfavor with the new monarch until the composition of the Water Music restored him to His Majesty’s graces. Although this story has acquired the force of legend, there is little evidence to support it and a good deal to contradict it. George I certainly had more important concerns than holding a grudge against a mere composer. Moreover, he attended performances of Handel’s works shortly after arriving in England and readily renewed the stipend Queen Anne had granted Handel before her death.

Some biographers detail a barge trip in 1715, for which there About the Music — May 9, 10

A 2005 documentary by BBC Television worked to recreate the “water party” on the River Thames in 1717 that featured the premiere of Handel’s Water Music. The barge of musicians is pictured here in front of the modern Palace of Westminster. In 1717, a royal flotilla of barges sailed on the river with King George I accompanied by a performance of the new music led by Handel.

is little real evidence. In any case, most of Handel’s Water Music was probably written for and first heard during a second river trip, on the evening of July 17, 1717. This occasion was amply documented in contemporary newspapers and letters. One report offers these details: “Next to the King’s barge was that of the musicians, about fifty in number, who played on all kinds of instruments. . . .

The music had been composed specially by the famous Mr. Handel . . . [and] His Majesty approved of it so greatly that he caused it to be repeated three times in all.”

Precisely how Handel grouped the movements that comprised his aquatic serenade, and in what order, is not known, for the work was published in bits and pieces over the course of the next half century. Various factors suggest an arrangement of three suites, and this has become the accepted form for presenting the music. The first suite, written in the key of F major, is sometimes called the “horn suite” for its prominent use of a pair of that instrument.

The Water Music consists mostly of movements based on popular court and ballroom dances of the day. These pieces provide a variety of tunes and sonorities, but Handel further enriches the complexion of the work through overtures, fanfare-like numbers, and instrumental airs.

The F-major suite begins with a stirring overture, which follows Handel’s typical pattern of a ceremonious introduction in slow tempo leading to a contrapuntal Allegro. This was not Handel’s invention, but represents the form of the “French overture,” one of the most common compositional designs in use during the Baroque period.

This suite also includes several particularly fine examples of the Handelian instrumental aria. The first, which follows the overture, features the oboe. Here and in the “Air” that follows later, the music’s melodic lines and harmonies combine dignity and tenderness in equal measure, a singularly Handelian trait.

Between these two gentle movements comes a variegated movement with brilliantly robust Allegro passages framing a poignant central Andante. The dances feature the characteristic rhythms of the minuet, bourrée, and others well known to the aristocratic guests aboard King George’s barge. Most of the music is ideally suited for outdoor performance, and one delights in imagining how it must have sounded to its first audience, floating on the Thames on that warm summer evening in 1717.

At a Glance Handel most likely wrote his Water Music in 1717. The first documented performance took place during a “water party” for King George I on the Thames River, near London, on July 17, 1717.

Handel probably directed the musicians, who sat together on a river barge.

The full Water Music runs about 45 minutes in performance. Handel’s score is usually interpreted for a modern orchestra of 1 or 2 flutes (sometimes with one player doubling on piccolo), 2 oboes, bassoon, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, harpsichord, and strings. Some related wind instruments, such as recorders, were probably used in performances during Handel’s lifetime.

The Cleveland Orchestra first presented selections from Handel’s Water Music during the 1926-27 season.

A number of performances have taken place since that time, most recently at Severance Hall in spring 2010, when Bernard Labadie led performances of all three suites, and as part of the 2008 Blossom Festival, when Nicholas McGegan led a selection of movements from the second and third suites.

Zadok the Priest, Coronation Anthem No. 1 composed 1727

by

George Frideric

HANDEL

Severance Hall 2012-13

W H E T H E R B E C A U S E T H E K I N G took pleasure in the Water Music or for some other reason, Handel enjoyed an unusually good relationship with George I for a decade after 1717. Among other things, the monarch gave generous financial support to the opera company in which Handel served as music director and for which he composed his most ambitious works during his first fifteen years in London. But in 1727, King George suddenly and unexpectedly died, and his son, George II, succeeded to the English throne.

Like the original Hanover Succession, in 1714, this situation may have posed difficulties for Handel. The younger George’s relationship with his father was strained and often quarrelsome, and the favor the elder king had shown Handel might well have guaranteed the new ruler’s hostility.

We do not know what diplomatic skills and maneuvering Handel used to place himself in the second George’s grace, but they were certainly effective. Early in September 1727, a newspaper reported that “Mr. Hendel [sic], the famous Composer to the Opera, is appointed by the King to compose the Anthem at the Coronation which is to be sung in Westminster Abbey at the Grand Ceremony.”

That “Grand Ceremony” was nothing less than King George II’s coronation, which took place on October 11, with all the pomp and ceremony befitting the event. For the occasion, Handel wrote not one but four different anthems, a term that here describes choral settings of biblical verses.

These four works were performed at different times during the elaborate proceedings. The composer scored them for full chorus and orchestra, and he clearly conceived them with sonic splendor in mind. Their melodic lines and harmonies are generally of a majestic character, and they use larger vocal and instrumental forces than Handel had employed in any of his previous church compositions.

For the performance, Handel was able to amass an exceptionally large ensemble. Once again, the London press provides valuable information. One newspaper, reporting on the public rehearsal of the coronation music in Westminster Abbey, observed that the orchestra numbered “about 160 Violins, Trumpets, Hautboys, Kettle-Drums, and Bass’s proportionable; About the Music — May 9, 10

At a Glance Handel wrote this and three additional “Coronation Anthems� in 1727 for the coronation of King George II of England. It was first performed on October 11, 1727, at Westminster Abbey.

This work runs about 5 minutes in performance.

Handel scored it for 2 oboes, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 3 trumpets, timpani, organ, strings, and continuo, plus seven-part chorus.

The Cleveland Orchestra first performed the “Zadok the Priest� Coronation Anthem in July 1985. It was most recently presented as part of the 2011 Blossom Festival, conducted by Nicholas McGegan.

besides an Organ, which was erected behind the Altar: And both the Musick and the Performers, were the Admiration of all the Audience.�

Of Handel’s four Coronation Anthems, the first, “Zadok the Priest,� is the most outwardly brilliant. It was sung during the ceremonial crowning of George II, and it has been performed at the coronation of every English monarch since 1727.

Handel took its text from the first Book of Kings, in the King James version of the Bible. The verses describe the anointing of King Solomon and the consequent rejoicing of the Israelite people, a narrative eminently appropriate to the occasion for which the composer was writing.

By the time he wrote the anthems for the coronation of George II, Handel had made composing operas his principal endeavor for nearly twenty years. It is not surprising, then, that he drew on his dramatic experience to make sure Zadok the Priest created a stirring effect. The work’s opening moments, in which the music of the orchestral introduction builds inexorably to the entrance of the chorus, is particularly imposing, but the whole composition creates a magnificent impression. —Paul Schiavo Š 2013

Archduke of Austria, died without leaving a male heir. He was succeeded on the Austrian throne by his daughter, Maria Theresa. This gave pretext to a series of tangled international conflicts known as the War of the Austrian Succession, which eventually engulfed most of the European nations. France, Prussia, Bavaria, and Spain allied themselves against Austria.

England, ever the enemy of France, joined Holland and several German principalities in coming to Austria’s aid.

The fighting would rage over much of the continent for eight years, ending inconclusively in 1748. From time to time, however, one side or another seemed to gain an advantage.

Such an occasion occurred late in June 1743, when an army of English and allied soldiers under King George II of England met a French force near the town of Dettingen, on the Main River. Despite superior field position, the French suffered heavy losses and a thorough defeat.

George II, who had personally led his troops into the fight, emerged as the hero of the day, and his return to England was planned as a triumphal event. Handel, who by this time held the official post of Composer of the Musick to the Chapel Royal, was commissioned to write a pair of pieces for the occasion.

One was a short anthem, in the manner of Zadok the Priest.

The other was a setting of the Te Deum, a hymn of praise and thanksgiving whose words mirrored the prevailing mood in England. (Handel used the English translation of the text in The Book of Common Prayer.) The music was performed at the Chapel Royal of Saint James’s Palace, then the principal residence of the British monarchy, on November 27, 1743.

Owing to other commitments, Handel completed what has come to be known as the “Dettingen” Te Deum over the course of less than two weeks. The speed with which he had to work prompted him to “borrow” from a Te Deum setting by another musician, an obscure Italian monk and composer named Francesco Antonio Urio.

This was not the first time Handel had availed himself of melodies by one of his colleagues, and his music was similarly used by other composers. While this seems, by present-day standards, a dubious practice bordering on plagiarism, it was About the Music — May 9, 10

At a Glance Handel wrote this work in November 1743 for a special commemoration of the English victory over the French on June 27, 1743, at the Battle of Dettingen. It was first performed on November 27, 1743, in the Chapel Royal at St. James’s Palace in London.

This setting of the Te Deum runs about 50 minutes in performance. Handel scored it for 2 oboes, bassoon, 3 trumpets, timpani, organ, strings, and continuo, plus four-part chorus. Ton Koopman is utilizing the Peter Edition of this work.

common and widely accepted in the early 18th century. And in Handel’s case, his gleanings from fellow composers nearly always resulted in a noticeable improvement on their original ideas. In the “Dettingen” Te Deum, as in other works with passages based on extant material, Handel so thoroughly absorbed and transformed Urio’s music that there is nothing about the composition that does not sound authentically Handelian.

The work begins with a concerted passage whose celebratory character carries distinct martial overtones, courtesy of Handel’s vigorous writing for trumpets and timpani. Thereafter, the tone becomes more varied, as the text alternates among the vocal soloists (singing individually and together) and the chorus. Handel’s setting includes several winsome vocal arias, and another with a stirring trumpet solo.

The character of the music turns somber at several points, most notably late in the composition, at the bass aria “Vouchsafe, O Lord, to Keep us This Day.” But the final chorus builds to a brilliant conclusion in which any hint of darkness vanishes before the brilliant sonority of trumpets and the entire ensemble united in bright D-major harmonies.

The lotus blossom is the symbol of the Heritage Society.

It represents eternal life and recognizes the permanent benefits of legacy gifts to The Cleveland Orchestra’s endowment.

Said to be Elisabeth Severance’s favorite flower, the lotus is found as a decorative motif in nearly every public area of Severance Hall.

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

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, released in 2012, 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 recent years include two under the baton of Pierre Boulez and a third album of Mozart piano concertos with Mitsuko Uchida, whose first Cleveland Orchestra Mozart album won a Grammy Award in 2011.

Visit the Cleveland Orchestra Store for the latest and best Cleveland Orchestra recordings and DVDs.

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

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.
