MASTERWORKS A BEVY OF BEETHOVEN The season begins with a bang, as Music Director Andrew Litton conducts Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 in D minor, September 18 and 19. Is Beethoven’s final symphony the greatest piece of music ever written? Many believe so. Listen for yourself in this bombastic program, which features the full Colorado Symphony Chorus. Whether you’re a veteran of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5, or know it mainly from countless references in pop culture, film and television, there’s nothing like the power of Beethoven’s most famous work, beginning with four notes that changed the world. December 5 and 6, Jun Markl conducts an all-Beethoven program, which features Colorado favorite (and former Colorado Symphony Music Director) Jeffrey Kahane performing Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 5. Beethoven’s music makes two more notable appearances this season: Colorado Symphony Concertmaster Yumi Hwang-Williams performs Beethoven’s Violin Concerto in D major April 17 and 18. And May 22-24, Yefim Bronfman performs Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4 in G major.

the chorus’ vocal mastery as well as the vision of director Duain Wolfe. November offers another opportunity to experience the power of the Colorado Symphony Chorus, with a sublime performance of Mozart’s Requiem led by conductor Pinchas Zukerman. A resident guest conductor at the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in London, Zukerman is equally revered as a conductor and violinist. In the first half of this program, he’ll step away from the podium to perform two of Mozart’s works for violin and orchestra. F ebruary 13-15, the Colorado Symphony Chorus takes on an invigorating choral challenge with a semi-staged production of Puccini’s Tosca, one of the best-known operas ever written. Andrew Litton leads the audience through this great, tragic love story in a performance that places the orchestra, cast and chorus front and center.

A MARSDEN
ANDREW LITTON, conductor Andrew Litton, Music Director of Norway’s Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra, Artistic Director of the Minnesota Orchestra’s Sommerfest, and Conductor Laureate of Britain’s Bournemouth Symphony, recently also became Music Director of the Colorado Symphony. He guest conducts the world’s leading orchestras and opera companies and has a discography of over 120 recordings with awards including America’s Grammy,® France’s Diapason d’Or, and many British and other honors. First appointed Bergen Philharmonic Music Director in 2003, Litton will celebrate the orchestra’s 250th Anniversary in 2015. It is one of the world’s longest established orchestras. In recognition of Litton’s achievements with the Bergen Philharmonic, Norway’s King Harald knighted Litton with the Royal Order of Merit. Under Litton the Bergen Philharmonic has taken numerous tours, including debuts at the London BBC Proms and Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw, as well as appearances at Vienna’s Musikverein, Berlin’s Philharmonie, and New York’s Carnegie Hall - the capstone of its first American tour in 40 years. Litton and the Bergen Philharmonic record for the BIS and Hyperion labels, winning extraordinary critical acclaim for their Mendelssohn, Stravinsky, and Prokofiev series. Andrew Litton, a graduate of the Fieldston School, New York, received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Juilliard in piano and conducting. The youngest-ever winner of the BBC International Conductors Competition, he served as Assistant Conductor at Teatro alla Scala and Exxon/Arts Endowment Assistant Conductor for the National Symphony under Rostropovich. His many honors in addition to Norway’s Royal Order of Merit include an honorary Doctorate from the University of Bournemouth, Yale University’s Sanford Medal, and the Elgar Society Medal. For further information, visit www.andrewlitton.com.
PAUL WATKINS, cello Acclaimed for his inspirational performances and eloquent musicianship, Paul Watkins enjoys a distinguished career both as a cellist and as a conductor, and in the 2009/10 season became the first ever Music Director of the English Chamber Orchestra. As solo cellist he performs regularly with all the major British orchestras including the London Philharmonic, Royal Philharmonic, Philharmonia and City of Birmingham Symphony. He has made six concerto appearances at the BBC Proms, recently in a performance of the Lutoslawski Cello Concerto with the BBC Symphony Orchestra. Outside the UK he has performed with the Netherlands Philharmonic, Melbourne Symphony, Konzerthausorchester Berlin, and the RAI National Symphony Orchestra of Turin. Recent highlights include his debut at Carnegie Hall performing Brahms’ Double Concerto with Daniel Hope, and appearances with the Royal Flemish Philharmonic, City of Birmingham Symphony, Philharmonia and Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestras. He also premiered (and was the dedicatee of ) Mark-Anthony Turnage’s new concerto with the Royal Flemish, Tampere and Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestras and the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig. A dedicated chamber musician, Watkins was a member of the Nash Ensemble from 1997 to 2013, and joined the Emerson String Quartet in May 2013. He is a regular participant at festivals and chamber music series, including at the Lincoln Center New York, and has given solo recitals at the Wigmore Hall, Amsterdam Concertgebouw, South Bank Centre, Bridgewater Hall, Manchester and Queens Hall, Edinburgh. In 2009 Paul Watkins signed an exclusive contract with Chandos Records. Recent releases include the Delius, Elgar and Lutoslawski concertos, and discs of British music for cello and piano.

MASTERWORKS PROGRAM NOTES Tchaikovsky/Litton: Selections from The Sleeping Beauty The piece is scored for two flutes and piccolo, two oboes and cor anglais, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, two cornets, two trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, harp, and strings. Duration is 20 minutes. This is the first performance by the Colorado Symphony of this unique arrangement. The Sleeping Beauty was the second ballet of Peter Tchaikovsky (1840-1893), following Swan Lake by thirteen years and preceding The Nutcracker by two years. The piece was written at the request of Ivan Vsevolojsky, director of the Imperial Mariinsky Theater in St. Petersburg. Tchaikovsky completed the score in August 1889, though the realities of dance rehearsal schedules dictated that its premiere had to wait until January 1890. Soon thereafter, the composer himself extracted from the ballet an orchestral suite so that symphonic concerts, too, could present his creation. Other hands have also crafted Sleeping Beauty suites, so as to spotlight particular favorite scenes. The selections from the ballet for this performance were chosen and compiled by Maestro Litton. The fact that so many minds have seen fit to bring Tchaikovsky’s ballet to concert audiences proves the symphonic heft of his work: here is not music just for dancing, but rather music that stands fully on its own as a fine artistic work. In this suite, the movements are not arranged according to their appearance order in the ballet as a whole. Rather, they fall in a sequence almost symphonic in conception. The set opens with music for the Prince as he is first learns of the heroine’s predicament, and then sets off on his mission to awaken her; in the ballet, her name is Aurora. Next is the Act One waltz, originally from Aurora’s birthday party. During that same scene, she was greeted by four suitors, each of whom brought her a rose. This lyrical and expansive music, long known as the Rose Adagio, appears next in this suite. A solo number for Aurora, in which she is almost personified by a solo violin, comes next. To close the suite, the ballet’s royal and festive finale appears, bring the suite to a grand conclusion.

Elgar: Cello Concerto in E minor, Op. 85 The piece is scored for solo cello, flutes, oboes, clarinets, and bassoons in pairs, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani, and strings. Duration is 30 minutes. Last performance by the Colorado Symphony was on April 1 & 2, 2007, with Johannes Moser as the soloist and Raymond Leppard conducting. The Cello Concerto of Sir Edward Elgar (1857-1934) stands rather late in his career, and on the heels of one of his homeland’s most troubled times. When the concerto was completed in the summer of 1919, England and Europe as a whole were just emerging from the throes of a vicious war. Elgar, like many other composers, felt bound to express his feelings in music. Indeed, he asserted that the concerto depicted “a man’s attitude to life,” and, despite its darkness, he called it “good and alive.” The public did not agree. The premiere, which the composer himself conducted at Queen’s Hall in London in October of 1919, was a failure, apparently due in part to a lack of orchestral rehearsal time. To blame the soloist, Felix Salmond, would seem unkind, as he had worked over the piece even while Elgar was writing it and consulted on details of the solo part. The concerto did not enter the concert repertoire until Pablo Casals popularized it several decades later. It gained further popularity when championed by the great English cellist Jacqueline du Pre in the 1960s, indeed becoming one of her calling cards. Her passionate playing style suited the concerto’s varied moods and allowed it a fuller expression than it might have had in other hands. SOUNDINGS 2013/14 | COLORADOSYMPHONY.ORG PROGRAM 3
MASTERWORKS PROGRAM NOTES Structured in four movements rather than the more customary three, Elgar’s Cello Concerto opens three of its movements with slow and poignant music, as if mourning the nation’s losses. Strongly assertive moods appear only in the latter half of the second movement and the bulk of the last. There, an almost march-like energy appears from time to time, broken up by more passages of mourning. However, it is in this movement, more than any of the preceding, that the soloist must call forth technique suitable for the quick-fingered passagework that one might expect of a concerto. That fact does not necessarily make this movement the most difficult – artistry is still required for slower music, arguably even more, as the audience has even more time to notice a single imperfect note. However, whether or not the fourth movement is the most difficult, it is certainly the longest and most overtly dramatic: the one most likely to bring an audience to its feet.

Prokofiev: Symphony No. 4 in C major, Op. 112 The piece is scored for two flutes and piccolo, two oboes and English horn, two clarinets, E-flat clarinet, and bass clarinet, two bassoons and contrabassoon, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, harp, piano, and strings. Duration is 37 minutes. This is the first performance of the work by the Colorado Symphony. With its 50th anniversary coming up in the 1930-31 season, the Boston Symphony decided to celebrate by commissioning new music. Some orchestras of less ambition would have pursued that plan with a few brief fanfares. Boston, led by its music director Serge Koussevitzky, thought bigger: major works from important composers. The list included the Americans Howard Hanson and Aaron Copland, the Italian Ottorino Respighi, the German Paul Hindemith, and the Russians Igor Stravinsky and Sergei Prokofiev. The work provided by Prokofiev (1891-1953) was his Symphony No. 4, which premiered in Boston November 14, 1930; this was one week after the premiere of Respighi’s Metamorphoseon and two weeks before the premiere of Hanson’s Romantic Symphony, both also composed for the orchestra’s anniversary. Some of the symphony’s melodic material was borrowed from the composer’s 1929 ballet The Prodigal Son. Of this derivation, the composer himself observed that he had done this not as a time saving measure, but because he wanted to explore the further possibilities of that material, once it was freed of choreographic restraints. Ideas could be expanded and developed for musical expression without regard to dancing. Even the orchestra was expanded, including a large complement of woodwinds from highest to lowest, the usual brass and strings, harp, piano, and extra percussion (timpani along with snare drum, bass drum, cymbals, tambourine, and wood block). The instrumentation allows for a wide range of colors and moods, and Prokofiev made the most of them. In 1947, seventeen years later, Prokofiev set about revising the work, thoroughly expanding it and even giving it a new opus number: 112, rather than the previous opus 47. The new place in his catalog sets it just after his Symphony No. 6 and shortly after his ballet Cinderella. By this time, Prokofiev, who had fled his homeland soon after the Russian Revolution of 1917, had returned to Russia, and was finding that music of Western European influence met with little acceptance from the ruling Communist Party. A work slightly progressive in its harmonies, a bit quirky in its rhythmic structure (particularly in the third and fourth movements), and having roots in a commission from an American orchestra was not likely to find official acceptance. However, Prokofiev had felt driven to follow his own creative muse, rather than official directives. It is this revised version of the symphony that the Colorado Symphony will be performing this weekend.
