Dear friends, After the devastation of the recent historic rains and flooding in the region, it has been inspiring to watch our community come together to heal and rebuild. That harrowing experience reminds me of the role of the arts in times of stress and in the larger dialog of pressing concerns such as climate change. We opened this season’s Artist Series with the premiere tour of “Fables on Global Warming” just a few weeks after our own extreme weather event. Besides being struck by the irony of the timing, I noted that the arts have unique power to engage people and deepen their understanding of and interest in such weighty subjects. So, too, can the arts provide solace and bring us together as families, neighbors and friends. As we approach the holiday season (I know! I’m not ready, either), I hope that the myriad offerings of CU Presents will provide meaningful opportunities for you to celebrate the human spirit and strengthen your ties to the community and each other. Whether it is the brilliance of this year’s Cliburn gold medalist, the ethereal movement of Momix, Turtle Island’s celebration of the many spiritual and secular customs around the winter solstice, or the beloved traditions of the annual Holiday Festival, we hope you’ll find both inspiration and comfort in our events as we move into a colder, darker time of year. CU Presents: Global performance. World-class entertainment. You have to be here. Warm regards,
Joan McLean Braun Executive Director

Everyone has a voice. Shouldn’t yours be heard? Don’t take your voice for granted. A weak, breathy, hoarse, scratchy, strained, or graveled voice often indicates a problem. Hoarseness lasting longer than a few weeks probably isn’t “laryngitis.” Dr. J. Michael King treats the full spectrum of ear, nose, and throat disorders. He is an otolaryngologist and a fellowship-trained laryngologist (voice specialist) providing care to singers, performers, and professional speakers. As one of only a few specialists in the Western region who performs minimally invasive office procedures, balloon sinuplasty, and laser surgery, Dr. King is always willing to take the time to explain options to help you decide what treatment is right for you.
J. Michael King, MD Services and treatments include• Microsurgery for vocal cord polyps or cysts • Laser surgery of the vocal cords • Voice restoration for vocal cord paralysis • Botox injections for spasmodic dysphonia • Chronic infections: ears, sinuses & tonsils • Allergy management and hearing testing • Treatments for pre-cancerous lesions or early throat cancers • Esophagoscopy screening & evaluation for reflux Offices in Broomfield & Golden 403 Summit Blvd., Suite 204 1030 Johnson Road, Suite 350 Broomfield, CO 80021 Golden, CO 80401

Piano Sonata No. 1 in D Minor, Opus 28
PROGRAM NOTES
Sergei Rachmaninov (1873-1943)
Rachmaninov was a large man with enormous hands— and musical gifts to match. He was already a formidable presence as a student in the Moscow Conservatory, and a brilliant career seemed inevitable. But how would he pursue it? He easily passed the piano finals and won the praise of faculty member Peter Tchaikovsky for his graduation composition, the one-act opera Aleko. The predictable life of a touring pianist would have been an easy road to follow—few could match his jawdropping virtuosity—and his first-rate conducting technique added to the promise of a major performing career. But the need to compose would not escape him, even after it suffered a serious blow from the devastating failure of his First Symphony in 1897. A lengthy depression and unrelenting writer’s block resulted, finally relieved with help from a hypnotist, leading to the creation of his immortal Second Piano Concerto. By the early 1900s, he was happily married and enjoying a busy life as concert pianist and as conductor of the Bolshoi Ballet. Needing to satisfy his cravings to compose, he resigned from the Bolshoi in 1906 and moved his family to a quiet rental house in Dresden, where he’d happily return each fall over the next few years. This would be a period that saw the completion of such well-received works as the Third Piano Concerto, the Second Symphony and The Isle of the Dead. Almost lost in that flurry of activity was his D-minor Piano Sonata (the first of only two). Considering his closeness to the instrument, it’s surprising that this piece caused him the most consternation. “The sonata is certainly wild and interminable,” he wrote to a friend. “Nobody will ever play this composition. It’s too difficult and long.” With guidance from his colleague Konstantin Igumnov, the composer edited the piece down from 45 minutes (by his estimate) to 35 minutes. Still, he kept a distance from the sonata, allowing Igumnov to give the premiere in October 1908. First-time listeners were puzzled by its complexities and the absence of any typically Rachmaninoff-flavored Romantic tunes. Aware of the sonata’s heaviness, he contemplated letting the cat out of the bag by explaining its hidden subtext. “I was lured into this (original) length by its guiding idea,” he explained. “This is—three contrasting types from a literary work. Of course no program will be indicated, though I begin to think that the sonata would be clearer if the program were revealed.” He decided against it, although he did share with his friends the work’s concept: Each section depicted a character from Goethe’s Faust.
The expansive opening movement represented the title character; the dreamy Andante was a portrait of Faust’s love object, Gretchen (the sudden energetic section representing their ecstasy together) and the diabolical final movement was, you guessed it, Mephistopheles. Not that there’s a story being told here. Instead, the music reflects the composer’s feelings for each character: the unbridled passion of Faust, the exquisite innocence of Gretchen and the pure devilishness of Mephistopheles. Half-hidden in that final movement, by the way, are quotes from the familiar plain chant, Dies Irae (Day of Judgment), a melody that would appear in so many works by Rachmaninov. The life-and-death drama that encircled Goethe’s three unforgettable individuals has long proven ideal for musical treatment—in fact, a half-century earlier, Liszt had similarly pictured that trio in his three-movement Faust Symphony. Still, one can’t help sensing in the sonata the underlying tensions and struggles happening then in Rachmaninov’s world, as he watched the beginnings of a revolution that would grow into deadly violence in his homeland. In the fall of 1917, Russia exploded, forcing the composer to seek refuge with his wife and two daughters in the West. A year after the October Revolution, he made America his permanent home, never to return to Russia. Rachmaninov’s Piano Transcriptions Most composers just can’t seem to leave well enough alone. The history of music is dotted with numerous arrangements and re-arrangements of works by earlier masters, usually created by the transcriber as a way of showing fondness for the original—though sometimes for more mundane reasons. Bach, for example, recast many of his own compositions as deadlines for new ones approached. As for Rachmaninoff, most of the bon-bons heard this evening were intended as entries in his recital repertory, either as second-half showpieces or encores. That practice was begun in the 19th century by Liszt, who dazzled his fans by transcribing anything and everything—from Schubert songs to Beethoven symphonies. Later keyboard virtuosos such as Ferruccio Busoni continued the practice, often drowning out the original with their own dynamic personalities. Not so Rachmaninoff. His transcriptions are showy, to be sure, but they nimbly preserve the intent of the original. As an indemand concert artist on both sides of the Atlantic, he used these miniatures to balance the heavy music served up in the first half of his recitals. Anxious to please his (presumably) less-sophisticated American
audiences, he made arrangements of pleasant tunes that would charm his listeners. Thus, we have his setting of the Mendelssohn Scherzo, first heard in San Antonio; Tchaikovsky’s Lullaby, premiered in Syracuse, New York, and a pair of beloved Kreisler ditties, unveiled in Stamford, Connecticut and Chicago. One of his most popular encores in the U.S. was a setting of The Star-Spangled Banner, first performed in Providence, Rhode Island. Suite from the Partita in E
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)
Written for solo violin while Bach was employed at Prince Leopold’s court at Anhalt-Cőthen, the Partita opens with a brilliant, non-stop Prelude (recast, incidentally, by Bach as the Sinfonia to his Cantata 29). Here, and in the Gavotte and Gigue that follow, Rachmaninov expands the single-line violin melodies to make use of the piano’s range and harmonic possibilities. Wohin? from Die Schőne Mullerin
Franz Schubert (1797-1828)
This is the second song in Schubert’s cycle based on poems depicting the saga of a young man in love with a miller’s beautiful daughter. Here, the lad asks, “Where to?” as he follows the course of a stream: Is this, then, the road for me? O brook, tell me where it leads. With your rushing babble You have quite befuddled my mind. Scherzo from A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Felix Mendelssohn (1809-47)
The shimmering transparency of Mendelssohn’s original (in which he creates the magical forest world of sprites and fairies) is captured perfectly in Rachmaninov’s arrangement.
Lullaby
Peter Tchaikovsky (1840-93)
This is the first of a set of six songs Tchaikovsky penned in 1872, arranged for solo piano by Rachmaninoff in August, 1941, during the dark, early days of Germany’s invasion of Russia. The words must have given some comfort: Sleep, my baby, sleep, fall asleep, asleep, fall asleep! Beckon sweet dreams to yourself: I’ve hired as nannies for you The Wind, the Sun and the Eagle. Polka de V.R.
Sergei Rachmaninov
The initials in the title are those of Rachmaninov’s father, Vassily, who reportedly loved to sing this little polka. Young Sergei believed it to be an original, and made a piano arrangement in 1911. Turns out, the melody was by the German composer Franz Behr (1837-98), and titled Lachtäubchen (Little Turtle Dove). Liebeslied, Liebesfreud
Fritz Kreisler (1875-1962)
A frequent duo-recital partner of Rachmaninoff, the famed violinist enjoyed secretly writing tunes that he then claimed were from earlier composers (he succeeded in fooling everyone, finally admitting his playful hoax in the 1930s). The instantly likeable “Love’s Sorrows” and “Love’s Joy” became his two most popular “discoveries.”

VADYM KHOLODENKO Vadym Kholodenko (born 1986) is a Ukrainian pianist and winner of the gold medal at the Fourteenth Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. During the competition he captured the attention of jury, audience, and critics alike for “mesmerizing and exhilarating” performances that brought the crowd to their feet, “[cheering] him like a rock star.” Also taking home prizes for best performance of the piano quintet and best performance of a commissioned work, Vadym highlighted the Final Round with two concerti with the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra under Maestro Leonard Slatkin. His cadenza in Mozart’s Concerto No. 21 in C Major, K. 467, which he wrote on the plane, was praised as “fascinatingly contrapuntal,” showing “the guts of a true superartist.” Vadym will perform in over 50 engagements in 2013–14 as part of his debut season as Cliburn Gold Medalist, including the Mann Center with The Philadelphia Orchestra, La Jolla Music Society, CU Presents, Cliburn Concerts, the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts, the Lied Center of Kansas, and Portland Piano International. Also part of his prize package, recording label harmonia mundi usa will release a live CD of his Competition performances on November 12, followed by a forthcoming studio recording. Kholdenko has previously worked with Yuri Bashmet, Vladimir Spivakov, Mark Gorenstein, Alexander Rudin, Dmitry Liss, Eugeny Bushkov,
Alexander Sladkovsky and other distinguished conductors, and has performed across the globe in Austria, China, the Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Japan, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Russia, Switzerland, and the United States. He released recordings of Liszt, Rachmaninov, and Medtner on Russia’s TV Culture label in 2009. An avid chamber musician as well, he performed and recorded a CD with violinist Alena Baeva, and formed a piano duo with Andrey Gugnin which they dubbed “iDuo.” The duo has released a recording with Delos Records. In addition to his Cliburn victory, Kholodenko has also taken first prize at the Maria Callas International Piano Competition (2004), Sendai International Music Competition (2010), and International Schubert Competition (Dortmund, 2011). Born in Kiev, Vadym Kholodenko is the first musician in his family. He made his first appearances in the United States, China, Hungary, and Croatia at the age of 13. He currently resides in Moscow with his wife and 2-year-old daughter, where he studies with Vera Gornostaeva at the Moscow P. I. Tchaikovsky Conservatory. Kholodenko is currently managed by The Cliburn and IMG Artists.
