The Austin Symphony Y ASO Music Director Maestro Peter Bay Peter Bay became Music Director and Conductor of the Austin Symphony Orchestra in 1998. He is also Music Director of the Hot Springs Music Festival (AR), and Conductor of the Big Sky Festival Orchestra (MT). Maestro Bay has appeared with more than 80 different orchestras including the National, Chicago, St. Louis, Houston, Dallas, Baltimore, New Mexico, New Jersey, North Carolina, San Antonio, Syracuse, Tucson, Virginia, West Virginia, Colorado, Hawaii, Jacksonville, Richmond, Sarasota, Alabama, Arkansas, Canton, Eugene, Fort Worth, Springfield, Chattanooga, Bochum (Germany), Carinthian (Austria), Lithuanian National, and Ecuador National Symphonies, the Minnesota and Algarve (Portugal) Orchestras, the Louisiana, Buffalo, Rhode Island, Arizona, Tulsa, Fort Wayne, Reno, Las Vegas, and Boca del Rio (Mexico) Philharmonics, the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, the Eastman (Argento’s Postcard from Morocco) and Aspen (Moore’s The Ballad of Baby Doe) Opera Theaters, and the Theater Chamber Players of the Kennedy Center. Summer music festival appearances have included Aspen (CO), Music in the Mountains (CO), Grant Park and Ravinia (IL), Round Top (TX), OK Mozart (OK) and Skaneateles (NY). Peter is the primary conductor for the ASO’s performances with Ballet Austin. He made his Austin Opera debut in January 2002 with André Previn’s A Streetcar Named Desire, and conducted La traviata in November 2002, Turandot in November 2003, and The Marriage of Figaro in April 2005.

Voices, featuring the percussion ensemble NEXUS and the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, is available on the Nexus label. A native of Washington, D.C., Mr. Bay is a graduate of the University of Maryland and the Peabody Institute of Music.

In July 2012 he appeared in Solo Symphony, a choreographic work created for him by Allison Orr of Forklift Danceworks. Peter can be seen conducting the Barton Strings in “Christopher Cross and Friends” PBS broadcast and DVD recorded at the Moody Theater. He conducted the Hanan Townshend score for the 2016 film, The Vessel, and led performances of Leonard Bernstein’s Mass as part of the Bernstein100Austin celebrations.

Her playing inspired a Washington Post critic to write, “For much of the concert, the audience had to remember to breathe... the exhilaration didn’t let up for a second until her hands came off the keyboard.” A native of France, Ms. de la Salle first came to international attention in 2005, at the age of 16, with a Bach/Liszt recording that Gramophone magazine selected as “Recording of the Month.” Ms. de la Salle, who records for the Naïve label, was then similarly recognized in 2008 for her recording of the first concertos of Liszt, Prokofiev, and Shostakovich—a remarkable feat for someone only 20 years old. Recent recordings offer works of Schumann and the complete works of Rachmaninoff for Piano and Orchestra with Fabio Luisi and the Philharmonia Zurich. The 2017–18 season saw the release of Bach Unlimited on Naïve, which includes such works as the Italian Concerto, the Liszt Fantasy & Fugue on the Theme B.A.C.H., and the Bach/Busoni Chaconne. Ms. de la Salle has played with many of the world’s leading orchestras and conductors. She made her London Symphony Orchestra debut with Fabio Luisi, and in 2016 returned to the orchestra with Antonio Pappano. Luisi, who invited her to become the first Artist-in-Residence of the Zurich Opera in 2014, has also frequently featured Ms. de la Salle with the Vienna Symphony, including a performance in New York on the “Great Performers Series” at Lincoln Center. In the United States, Ms. de la Salle has played with the Boston Symphony, Chicago Symphony, San Francisco Symphony, Philadelphia Orchestra, National Symphony, and four times with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, among others. In her second appearance with

the Minnesota Orchestra, she played the Gershwin Concerto in F Major, a performance that inspired one critic to exclaim, “she might just be the most exciting young artist in classical music right now.” Following triumphs in 2017–18 with Luisi and the Dallas Symphony and a six-week recital tour of the United States, Ms. de la Salle’s coming seasons include appearances with the Atlanta, Austin, Detroit, Ft. Wayne, Quebec, Rogue Valley, and Wichita (complete Rachmaninoff cycle) Symphonies. She will be heard in recital in Aspen, Atlanta, Ashland, and New Jersey, and will also be a guest artist with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. In recent seasons, Ms. de la Salle was heard with leading symphonic ensembles in London, Paris, Munich, Tokyo, Baltimore, Detroit and Quebec, among others, with such esteemed conductors as Osmo Vänskä and James Conlon. Concertos of Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Ravel, and Rachmaninoff demonstrated her fresh interpretations, compelling musicality, and dynamic pianism. A sought-after recitalist, she made her debut in the Chicago Symphony recital series. She has also captivated enthusiastic audiences and critics in major series in New York, Boston, Washington, D.C., San Francisco, Montreal, Toronto, and at the Philharmonie in Berlin, Wigmore Hall in London, the Louvre in Paris, and colleges and universities around the country. Ms. de la Salle also takes pleasure in educational outreach and conducts master classes in many of the cities in which she performs. Born in Cherbourg, France in 1988. At age 11, she received special permission to enter the Paris Conservatoire Supérieur de Musique to study with Pierre Réach.

Notes on the program Y The Austin Symphony Alexander Glazunov (1865 –1936) Carnaval Overture, Op. 45 (approx. 9 minutes) Born in St Petersburg, the son of a successful publisher father and a mother who was a talented amateur pianist, Alexander Glazunov studied with Mily Balakirev, who encouraged him into a musical career and recommended him to the young Rimsky-Korsakov. Glazunov became Rimsky-Korsakov’s favorite pupil and was 16 when his First Symphony was performed successfully in public. A Second Symphony and a tone poem, Stenka Razin, were equally successful. From then on, his rise was meteoric. In 1899, Glazunov was appointed professor at the St Petersburg Conservatory and in 1905, became its Director. He made no secret of being a musical conservative; he walked out on a performance of an early Prokofiev work, commenting that encouraging such compositions would only encourage “harmful trends”— and this even before the toxic Soviet intrusion into artistic creativity. By 1902, Glazunov was well known in Europe; his name appeared regularly on American concert programs, and he traveled extensively conducting his own music. For a while, his eight symphonies were held in high esteem, regarded as—next to Tchaikovsky’s six—the most substantial contribution to the Russian symphonic repertoire. Glazunov felt alienated from the new Soviet order that came to power after 1917, but he remained in St. Petersburg— now re-named Petrograd— bringing a valuable sense of continuity to the Conservatory. By 1928, discouraged with the direction of the doctrinaire Soviet music establishment, he left for Paris, joining its large community of expatriated Russians, including Igor Stravinsky and his bête noir, Sergey Prokofiev. In the Paris of the 1920s, poor Glazunov was, musically, a forgotten man, his late-Romantic style considered uninspired and academic. Glazunov composed the Carnaval Overture in 1892, dedicating it to famed music critic

Herman Laroche, a lifelong supporter of Tchaikovsky and an opponent of Balakirev’s Nationalist Russian School. Perhaps in keeping with the traditionally chaotic atmosphere of the holiday, the Overture is a potpourri of moods and tunes. Towards the middle section of the Overture, is a slower section reminiscent of a Russian Orthodox chant. Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873–1943) Piano Concerto No. 1 in F-sharp minor, Op. 1 (approx. 30 minutes) Sergei Rachmaninoff grew up in a musical family, middle-class but under strained economic conditions. His ne’er-do-well father squandered the family’s fortune to the point that his parents eventually separated. His mother had to sell what remained of the family’s assets and move into a small apartment in St. Petersburg. Sergei—whose care in better times would have been left to the supervision of a nanny— consequently grew up with little supervision at all. By age 19 he was already established as a performer, but he always wanted to compose and considered himself a composer first, pianist second. He gained instant fame as a composer with his Prelude in C-sharp minor, a work that haunted him all his life because audiences always expected it as an encore at his concerts. In 1889 Rachmaninoff started work on a piano concerto but abandoned it, leaving only some sketches. But he returned to the genre in the following year, finishing the F-sharp minor Concerto in 1891 as a graduation project from the St. Petersburg Conservatory.

The Austin Symphony Y Notes on the program performed today, although there exist historic recreations of the original recording. The overall structure of the first movement bears what was to become Rachmaninoff’s unmistakable signature, repeated in the subsequent three concertos. It opens with a brass fanfare, followed by the piano in descending octaves and ominous chords, after which the orchestra introduces the main theme followed by a much gentler cantabile second. The development involves much flashy finger work and in places recalls Tchaikovsky’s First Piano Concerto. A lengthy cadenza leads to the end of the movement. The quality of the themes of the second movement, the unusual harmonic progressions, and languid figuration by the piano, give it the quality of an endless melody. It opens with a plaintive horn call after which the piano introduces the main theme, which never returns in its original form. The middle section is a duet for piano and bassoon. The movement has been compared to a Chopin étude. The Finale is particularly noteworthy for its surprising harmonic wanderings and showy pianistic display—sometimes at the expense of coherent melodies. In all of his concertos, however, Rachmaninoff’s finales alternate flashy writing for piano with a contrasting slower and more lyric middle

section combining his skills as a melodist with Romantic expressiveness. Following his graduation from the conservatory, Rachmaninoff’s future looked secure, and for the next two decades he divided his time between performing, conducting and composing. But all this changed with the revolution in 1917. A conservative and traditionalist, Rachmaninoff viewed the Russian Revolution with horror. He left the country with his family, never to return, eventually settling in the United States. His sources of income having dried up, he became a full-time pianist for the rest of his life, leaving him little time to compose. Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840–1893) Manfred Symphony, Op. 58 (approx. 56 minutes)

The 19th century was the era of the Gothic Romanticism. And nothing illustrates this fascination with the spooky so much as the tangled relationship between Lord Byron, Hector Berlioz, and Pyotr Illyich Tchaikovsky. Actually, Mary Shelley started it off with Frankenstein; Byron, who was present at the monster’s birth, took it up with his dramatic poems, which inspired the literary

The composer and pianist, Sergei Rachmaninoff, seated at a Steinway & Sons piano.

Notes on the program Y The Austin Symphony Berlioz with Harold in Italy and the Symphonie fantastique. In 1867–68, the aged Berlioz visited Russia to conduct Harold, bringing Byron’s poetry to the attention of Russian composers. The dean of Russian critics, Vladimir Stasov, tried to persuade his friend, Mily Balakirev, to compose a similar symphony on Manfred, even suggesting a scenario. But Balakirev declined, passing the ball to one of his colleagues. Finally, in 1885, he succeeded in convincing Tchaikovsky to undertake the task. The arch-Romantic Tchaikovsky— the solitary outsider tortured by his own sexual conflicts—was captivated by Byron’s gloomy, self-indulgent work. The poem has no real plot or action. Rather, it describes an anti‑hero consumed by guilt over an unnamed sin involving his deceased beloved Astarte. Manfred conjures seven ghosts to cast a spell of forgetfulness, but they cannot change the past, and he commits suicide by jumping off the Jungfrau summit. Byron himself had been forced to flee England because of a scandal over his incestuous affair with his half-sister, Augusta Leigh; he wrote the poem shortly thereafter, and history has put two and two together. Byron’s wife, mathematician Lady Ada Lovelace, left him and spent the rest of her life working with Charles Babbage on the invention of the concept of the digital programmable calculator (a forerunner of the computer). Not surprisingly, the poem had appealed also to Robert Schumann, who used it as the inspiration for his Manfred: Dramatic Poem with Music in Three Parts. Tchaikovsky’s take on the poem reflects the influence of Berlioz and Franz Liszt, both of whom created hybrid tone-poem/ symphonies (Symphonie fantasique and A Faust Symphony). These were narrative vignettes unified by a single motto, or idée fixe, which recurred transformed but recognizable in every movement. Tchaikovsky prefaced each movement with a quote reflecting Stasov’s original concept: “Manfred wanders in the Alps. Tormented by fateful questions of existence, tortured by the burning anguish of hopelessness and memory of his guilty past, he experiences cruel spiritual torments. Manfred has

delved deeply into the secrets of magic and communicated imperiously with the powerful forces of hell, but neither they, nor anyone in the world can give him the oblivion which he so vainly seeks and craves. Memories of his ruined Astarte, whom he had once passionately loved, gnaw and eat at his heart, and there is neither Grace nor an end to Manfred’s boundless despair.” The Symphony opens with the first part of the “Manfred” motto, followed by threatening orchestral punctuation. Tchaikovsky subsequently completes the theme, devoting the rest of the movement to what Liszt called “thematic transformations” of the idea for over 15 minutes of unresolved harmonic tension. “The Alpine Fairy appearing to Manfred in a rainbow from the waterfall’s spray.” This scherzo is a showcase for the upper woodwinds, probably influenced not a little by Mendelssohn. Although the Manfred motto quietly inserts itself into the picture, things begin to fall apart as the Alpine Fairy’s magic begins to fail. “Pastorale. Simple life, freedom and tranquility of the Alpine people.” As mentioned above, Harold in Italy had been a smash hit in St. Petersburg, and Tchaikovsky’s pastoral siciliano (6/8 time) mirrors the equivalent scene from Berlioz’s tone‑poem/viola concerto. “Arimanes’ (The spirit of evil) subterranean palace. Manfred appears in the midst of a bacchanale. Raising of Astarte’s spirit. She foretells an end to his earthly pains. Death of Manfred.” If Harold in Italy was the model for the third movement, the Symphonie fantasique served as an apt model for the finale. Tchaikovsky sets the orgiastic goings on as a Russian “trepak” dance. Fortunately, the composer provided a road Download the app: Connect: map, so that the following Adagio probably represents the spirit of Astarte’s interchange with Manfred. The rest of the movement Download the app: Connect: recaps his existential despair and death.

* * Since the 1880s, Cook-Walden Funeral Homes & Cemeteries, a member of the Dignity Memorial network, has remained committed to families, providing compassionate, professional and personal service. And in a new partnership with the Austin Symphony, Cook-Walden will match 1:1 every dollar donated to the ASO in 2017 in someone’s memory or honor, up to $3,500. All memorial and tribute donations and respective matches go towards the Endowment Fund.

The Annual Fund Y The Austin Symphony

he Austin Symphony Orchestra Society invites you to join our family of supporters. The following categories of gifts to the ASO Annual Fund Drive reflect a cross section of our community. These donors are a special group of music lovers who know that the ASO is to be commended for its prudent financial management as well as for the outstanding performances offered but, also, that ticket sales cover less than one-half the cost of these performances. A gift to our Development Fund generously supports the gift of music to others. Join this special family now: Call (512) 476-6064.
