Since its founding in 1979, the Singapore Symphony Orchestra (SSO) has been Singapore’s flagship orchestra, touching lives through classical music and providing the heartbeat of the cultural scene in the cosmopolitan city-state. In addition to its subscription series concerts, the orchestra is well-loved for its outdoor and community appearances, and its significant role educating the young people of Singapore. The SSO has also earned an international reputation for its orchestral virtuosity, having garnered sterling reviews for its overseas tours and many successful recordings.
Since Lan Shui assumed the position of Music Director in 1997, the SSO has performed in Europe, Asia and the United States. In May 2016 the SSO was invited to perform at the Dresden Music Festival and the Prague Spring International Music Festival. This successful five-city tour of Germany and Prague also included the SSO’s return to the Berlin Philharmonie after six years. In 2014 the SSO’s debut at the 120th BBC Proms in London received critical acclaim in the major UK newspapers The Guardian and Telegraph. The SSO has also performed in China on multiple occasions.
The SSO makes its performing home at the 1,800-seat state-of-the-art Esplanade Concert Hall. More intimate works and all outreach and community performances take place at the 673-seat Victoria Concert Hall, the home of the SSO. The orchestra performs 100 concerts a year, and its versatile repertoire spans all-time favourites and orchestral masterpieces to exciting cutting-edge premieres. Bridging the musical traditions of East and West, Singaporean and Asian musicians and composers are regularly showcased in the concert season. This has been a core of the SSO's programming philosophy from the very beginning under Choo Hoey, who was Music Director from 1979 to 1996.
Notable SSO releases under BIS include a Rachmaninov series, a “Seascapes” album, two Debussy discs “La Mer” and “Jeux”, and the first-ever cycle of Tcherepnin’s piano concertos and symphonies. The SSO has also collaborated with such great artists as Lorin Maazel, Charles Dutoit, Gennady Rozhdestvensky, Neeme Järvi, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Diana Damrau, Martha Argerich, Lang Lang, Yo-Yo Ma, Janine Jansen, Leonidas Kavakos and Gil Shaham.

A L E X A NDE R VON ZE MLIN SK Y (1871–1942) The Mermaid (Die Seejungfrau) 47’00 (Singapore Premiere) Zemlinsky holds a strange position in the pantheon of ‘forgotten’ turn-of-the-century Germanic composers. He is perhaps the most forgotten of them all, reduced only to occasional mention as the erstwhile teacher of Erich Wolfgang Korngold (of eventual Hollywood fame), and musical personage in the coterie of Mahler, Richard Strauss and Arnold Schoenberg. The main criticism that he suffers from is of having music that is “not distinctive enough”. To some extent, that is true: a tendency towards expressing inspiration in various eclectic ways (instead of an easily identifiable style) as well as a certain natural facility in colourful orchestration has caused his music to become lost in the general post-Wagnerian fog. But within his large catalogue of works are some of incredible beauty: the Lyric Symphony in particular is his best-known work, though it has been eclipsed thoroughly by Mahler’s own Song of the Earth, and his chamber and vocal music are still sometimes performed. Tonight’s The Mermaid (Der Seejungfrau) is another piece that has fallen by the wayside. Zemlinsky put down the first sketches in 1902, originally intending to illustrate an excerpt of the eponymous Hans Christian Andersen story. As work progressed, he
realised he would cover more than he had planned, and expanded the symphonic poem into a large three-movement form; he then decided to dismantle the story arc, reducing the first movement into a series of related ideas, the second into a handful of moods, and removing the narrative from the third movement altogether. The Mermaid was first performed in 1905 alongside Schoenberg’s similarly-sized Pelleas and Melisande in Vienna — and was immediately overshadowed by it. The work’s historical reception should not prevent us from enjoying its real craft and beauty, however. It can be heard as an “absolute music” symphony, without its programme, as indeed it was at its premiere. Or, left with hints as to its fairytale provenance, the listener can draw their own conclusions as to which portion of the story is being illustrated at any given moment. Particularly prominent is the use of solo violin, which is easily interpreted as representing the mermaid herself, while the raw sweeping energy of the music immediately calls to mind the moods of the ocean. Low winds and high strings set the scene for a misty, mysterious opening movement – “Sehr mässig bewegt” (“Very moderate in movement”). Clarinet and flute chatters paint in the salty spray. The tempo picks up later, with swelling strings and horns giving a very full, cinematic sound. Vivid orchestral colours are put to great use here, with dancing rhythms and many tempo changes hinting at the plot of the fairy tale: the music builds to a huge climax near the end of the first movement before the storm calms.
The second movement – “Sehr bewegt, rauschend” (“Much movement, thunderous”) – starts with an outburst before settling down into a fluid dance movement. The solo violin floats on top of the orchestra, supported by rich melodies in the cello, and the full orchestra erupts in joy. Unlike a traditional symphony, this movement is adamantly not a slow movement: Zemlinsky marks it sehr bewegt, full of movement, as the story dissolves into picture-painting. Indeed, at points, the music is so wonderfully orchestrated as to resemble ballet scenes.
Among the large number of works inspired by mermaid legends, Zemlinsky’s symphonic poem stands out for its large scale. To be sure, the form of symphonic poem had been growing steadily in the past half a century, but at over 40 minutes, The Mermaid definitely tested the orchestra at its premiere — as well as the patience of later critics. Widely disparaged, it was abandoned within five years, with the composer leaving it off a work list he submitted to his publisher. Zemlinsky later

PROGRAMME NOTES
The finale inhabits a sadder emotional terrain, full of chromatic harmonies recalling some of Strauss’ finest music. Marked “Sehr gedehnt, mit schmerzvollem Ausdruck” (“Very flexible, with sorrowful expression”), a mournful folk-like tune appears near the start, almost a barcarolle. The opening music returns, now totally changed by the musical events of the past half an hour. The solo violin, high in its register, ushers in the final section, supported by high instruments, and after a grand climax, the mood turns to utter peace: the sea has claimed the mermaid...
moved to Vienna to escape the Nazi threat in Germany, then to the United States, and died in 1942. Many decades passed before it was finally revived in the 1980s; it has since enjoyed growing prominence and a well-deserved place in the repertoire.
JOH A NNE S B R A HM S (18 3 3–18 97 ) Piano Concerto No. 2 in B-flat major, Op. 83 46’00 Brahms’ two piano concertos are among the biggest behemoths of the genre. Certainly, they are the longest to still be performed with any regularity at all, lasting roughly 50 minutes each. (The 75-minute Busoni masterpiece is only trotted out as an occasional curiosity.) An excellent pianist, Brahms was the soloist at the 1881 premiere in Budapest, and the work proved an immediate success. In the middle period of his creativity, and already well-established as a composer by this time, Brahms was seeking newer modes of expression. This concerto explores a more mature musical ground than the youthful energy of his earlier essay. Here we find something more intimate: something more akin to chamber music, despite a typically Brahmsian tendency to loquaciousness. The concerto is structured in four movements, lending it the outward appearance of a symphony — and indeed, this work resembles a symphony with piano, especially considering how the piano is tightly woven into the orchestral texture. The first movement opens with a horn solo, under which the piano softly unfolds rippling arpeggios before answering, almost like a sonata.
The orchestra then takes over, and the conversation begins almost immediately; there is no interminable opening tutti here, unlike in the Violin Concerto. Over the next fifteen minutes a movement of Classical mould emerges, though it is draped in Romantic-era finery. Brahms’ own description of the concerto, in a letter to a friend, was “a little piano piece”. He described the second movement scherzo as a “little wisp” — quite an understatement! The stormy character of this hemiola-filled movement shows Brahms employing his favourite musical device to the point of obsession. The virtuosity in the piano part is characteristic of his piano music around this time, with huge leaps, fistfuls of chords, and bombastic octave passages. The slow movement that follows returns to the home key of B-flat major for a deep breath before the sheer activity of the finale. Filled with long drawn-out melody, the cello solo that opens it is justifiably famous; the warmth and gentleness shows Brahms at his most sentimental. This movement features the cello as an equal partner to the piano, an idea perhaps drawn from Tchaikovsky’s own Second Piano Concerto, which was premiered as Brahms was writing this work. Brahms later recycled the cello melody as a song (Op. 105, No. 2). The finale brims with uncontrolled invention and is easily separated into five parts, with five main themes overall. Amidst developments, recollections and foreshadowings, the Hungarian section is
especially striking, as is the final tarantella. The sheer size of this movement means it carries the most musical weight, and indeed it takes a master to balance the disparate elements. Since its premiere, it has never fallen out of regular performance, and has been championed by all the big names: Horowitz, Richter, Schnabel, Rubinstein. Today it remains a staple of concert programmes.
