Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra 2013-14 by Rhinegold

2013/2014 2

TO OUR FRSO AUDIENCES My first season as Chief Conductor of the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra will, I hope, continue the varied and liberal policy for which our orchestra has long been known. The mission of the Finnish Broadcasting Company (Yle) is to maintain and promote our national culture. This we do by lending our strong support to the performance and composition of Finnish music. As a modern European radio orchestra, we are also under obligation to cover foreign repertoire of different eras as widely as possible. For the 2013/2014 season, we have once again invited to the Helsinki Music Centre some of the finest musicians from both Finland and abroad, and we are proud that many artists who have distinguished themselves in the international arena will be making their Finnish debut precisely at the invitation of the FRSO. As of September 2013, our concerts will have greater media visibility than ever before, since all those conducted by me will be shown live on the Finnish Yle Teema TV channel. Each era in the history of orchestral music has to be approached in accordance with its true spirit. The orchestra of today has to shift from one type of repertoire to another, from the Baroque right up to contemporary premieres, boldly, smoothly, and in the appropriate style.

The FRSO concerts are designed both to entertain and to stimulate the mind, to provoke ideas and discussion. I hope that every programme in the season will present at least one tempting reason for going to a concert or for following it on, say, the Internet. The reason may be an artist, the orchestra, a composer, a piece of music or a programme. Neither we, the performers, nor the audience can possibly understand music at every level. Above all, this is not necessary: the important thing is to approach every composition with an open mind and ears, in a spirit of adventure. The American composer and musician Frank Zappa aptly crystallised the vital importance of an irrational attitude: â&#x20AC;&#x153;A mind is like a parachute. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work if it is not open.â&#x20AC;? Welcome to our concerts! Hannu Lintu Chief Conductor

THE FINNISH RADIO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

CHIEF CONDUCTOR Hannu Lintu

Hannu Lintu began his term as the eighth Chief Conductor of the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra in autumn 2013, and thereby continues a successful partnership that dates back many years. Maestro Lintu first conducted the FRSO in January 1995, recording the signature tune for a new Yle music programme called Amadeus. By the time he embarked on his term as Chief Conductor, he had conducted no fewer than 40 FRSO concerts. During the 2013/2014 season, Hannu Lintu will conduct 18 FRSO concerts at the Helsinki Music Centre and will tour with it to, among others, the Frankfurt Alte Oper and the Vienna Musikverein. Their first joint recordings will be of music by Ligeti, Berio, Messiaen (BIS) and Fagerlund (Ondine). Until spring 2013, Hannu Lintu was Chief Conductor and Artistic Director of the Tampere Philharmonic. He is also Principal Guest Conductor of Ireland’s RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra. Major personal projects scheduled for the next few years include recordings of the complete Mozart piano concertos and Enescu symphonies. The Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra’s Honorary Conductors are Sakari Oramo and Jukka-Pekka Saraste. Oramo was Chief Conductor 2003–2011 and Saraste 1987–2001, and both still collaborate closely with the orchestra.

HONORARY CONDUCTORS Jukka-Pekka Saraste and Sakari Oramo

The Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra (FRSO) is the orchestra of the Finnish Broadcasting Company (Yle). Its mission is to produce and promote Finnish musical culture and its Chief Conductor as of autumn 2013 is Hannu Lintu. The Radio Orchestra of ten players founded in 1927 grew to symphony orchestra strength in the 1960s. Its previous Chief Conductors have been Toivo Haapanen, Nils-Eric Fougstedt, Paavo Berglund, Okko Kamu, Leif Segerstam, Jukka-Pekka Saraste and Sakari Oramo. The latest contemporary music is a major item in the repertoire of the FRSO, which each year premieres a number of Yle commissions. Another of the orchestra’s tasks is to record all Finnish orchestral music for the Yle archive. During the 2013/2014 season it will premiere six Finnish works commissioned by Yle. The FRSO has recorded works by Eötvös, Nielsen, Hakola, Lindberg, Saariaho, Sallinen, Kaipainen, Kokkonen and others, and the debut disc of the opera Aslak Hetta by Armas Launis. Its discs have reaped some major distinctions, such as the BBC Music Magazine Award and the Académie Charles Cros Award. The disc of the Sibelius and Lindberg violin concertos (Sony BMG) with Lisa Batiashvili as the soloist received the MIDEM Classical Award in 2008, in which year the New York Times chose the other Lindberg disc as its Record of the Year. The FRSO regularly tours to all parts of the world. During the 2013/2014 season it will be visiting Central Europe under the baton of Hannu Lintu.

All the FRSO concerts both in Finland and abroad are broadcast, usually live, on Yle Radio 1. They can also be heard and watched with excellent live stream quality on the FRSO website (www.yle.fi/rso).

THE FRSO ON THE RADIO

THE FRSO ON THE INTERNET

The Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra has a unique audience base, since it covers the whole of Finland. The live broadcasts of its concerts have, throughout its history, constituted the backbone of its operations, and they still afford a front seat at FRSO concerts. The orchestra’s home channel is Yle Radio 1. During the concert intervals, it may provide background information about the evening’s repertoire, interview the artists or discuss contemporary cultural phenomena. From time to time a team of critics also meets after the concert to mull over what has been heard. Repeats of the concerts are (as a rule) broadcast at 19.03 on Sundays. Recent FRSO performances and selected treasures from the archives can be heard on the radio at 14.00 on Mondays and 20.30 on Tuesdays. The head of FRSO radio broadcasts is Outi Paananen.

People around the world can enjoy FRSO performances via the Internet. The series concerts can be viewed and heard live on the FRSO website at www.yle.fi/rso. The programme notes for this concert can also be downloaded in PDF format on this site. The Yle Elävä arkisto/Living Archive at www.yle.fi/elavaarkisto provides a history of the orchestra in sound – both archive gems and recent premiere performances not yet recorded. All the concerts broadcast live on Finnish radio, TV and the Internet can be accessed for one month at www.yle.fi/areena. The www.yle.fi/klassinen site further contains all Yle’s classical music.

THE FRSO IN SOCIAL MEDIA Follow the FRSO in social media: ask, discuss and influence! Like us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/radionsinfoniaorkesteri to receive handy details of concerts and any changes to the programme. Ask us any questions you may have, comment on a concert or click on interesting links. Follow us at Twitter @yle_rso. We also tweet orchestra news, details of concerts and any changes to the programme. Tweet your impressions to the FRSO direct right after the concert using the #concert hashtag.

THE FRSO ON TELEVISION In autumn 2013, the Yle Teema channel will be bringing all the FRSO concerts conducted by Hannu Lintu live into the home. In spring 2014, the broadcasts will continue once a month, with different conductors. The programme will also present stars on the musical firmament and capture the concert atmosphere from different angles. The guides in these programmes will include editor Janne Koskinen, composer Osmo Tapio Räihälä, editor Inari Nuutero and Chief Conductor Hannu Lintu. The updated schedule for these programmes will be posted at www.yle.fi/klassinen. Enjoy! 48

The Helsinki Music Centre, home of the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra, is a meeting place open to all where people can come and go to enjoy whatever sort of music pleases them most.
