‘EXPERIENCE THE POWER, BEAUTY AND HEARTFELT

PAGE

Richard Wagner once wrote ‘I believe in God, Mozart and Beethoven’. I can’t promise you God in the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra’s 2014 season – although the experience of live music often puts people in touch with the divine – but I can promise you a season of unforgettable concerts. Mozart and Beethoven will be among our featured composers as we focus on the rich musical heritage of Vienna, a city where I was fortunate enough to study during my formative years and where I have returned time and again as conductor. Vienna was not just the adopted home of Mozart and Beethoven, but the epicentre of the musical universe for nearly two centuries, with composers such as Haydn, Schubert, Brahms, Mahler, Schoenberg and Berg drawing from the city’s vibrant culture and taking music into ever new and invigorating directions. Our Vienna Alive concerts – a series of five concerts between August and November – will offer particularly intense Viennese experiences, but there will be Vienna touchpoints across the entire year, as you will see from the concert details in this brochure. Join me and the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra and experience the power, beauty and heartfelt emotion of a symphony orchestra in full flight. Let us take you to Vienna and to the rich world of your imagination.

Alice Bowman-Shaw, Sandy Bay, attends the TSO for the emotions.

BERLIOZ, ‘Le spectre de la rose’, from Les nuits d’été.

‘Natascha Petrinsky will bring a tear to your eye as soloist in Berlioz’s achingly beautiful song cycle Les nuits d’été. It is my great privilege to introduce her to Tasmanian audiences.’

Marko Letonja conductor Alexander Gavrylyuk piano RACHMANINOV Piano Concerto No 3 BRAHMS Symphony No 1 Ukrainian-born Australian pianist Alexander Gavrylyuk brought the house down when he last appeared with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra. In this seasonopener concert he tackles the formidable ‘Rach Three’, Rachmaninov’s Third Piano Concerto. If anyone’s up to the challenge, Alexander Gavrylyuk is! In his Symphony No 1, Johannes Brahms pays homage to Beethoven while also announcing his own arrival as a force to be reckoned with. It’s a first among firsts. Marko Letonja launches the TSO’s ‘Vienna Year’ with this magnificent and impressive work by one of the greatest of all Viennese composers. Complimentary sparkling wine will be served at interval – cheers!

CHORAL FANTASY

15 MARCH SATURDAY 15 March 2.30pm Federation Concert Hall, Hobart Marko Letonja conductor Jennifer Marten-Smith piano TSO Chorus MOZART Symphony No 1, K16 BRAHMS Serenade No 2 BEETHOVEN Choral Fantasy J STRAUSS II Seid umschlungen Millionen Is it a piano concerto? Is it a concerto for orchestra? Is it a choral work? Beethoven’s Choral Fantasy is a one-of-akind hybrid for piano, orchestra and voices that culminates in a chorus every bit as tuneful as the famous ‘Ode to Joy’ from the Ninth Symphony. It’s a perfect fit with Johann Strauss’s waltz Seid umschlungen Millionen (Be embraced, you millions!), which takes its title from Schiller’s ‘Ode to Joy’ but was actually dedicated to Strauss’s contemporary, Johannes Brahms. Brahms’s Serenade No 2 is a warm and sunny work from the composer’s early career, while Mozart’s Symphony No 1 is the inspired creation of a gifted 10 year old on the threshold of a brilliant career.

Marko Letonja conductor Natascha Petrinsky mezzo-soprano MILLS Impromptu, after Schubert* BERLIOZ Les nuits d’été SCHUBERT Symphony No 9, Great *World première Summer Nights – or, to give it its French title, Les nuits d’été – is among the most ravishing of all works for voice and orchestra. The six songs offer reflections on love, and the music overflows with gorgeous melodies, exquisite harmonies and luscious orchestral colours. Vienna-born Natascha Petrinsky, making her TSO debut, brings this masterpiece of French music to life. Schubert’s last symphony, the appropriately named Great, introduces a touch of Vienna. Schubert may have been in awe of Beethoven, his esteemed Viennese contemporary, but with the Ninth Symphony he proved that he too had a claim to greatness.

Its opening four notes – da-da-da-dum – are probably the most recognisable in all orchestral music, so deeply are they ingrained in our collective memory. Hear the work that spawned the ringtone and enjoy the live, extended play version of one of the greatest of all symphonies. Katie Noonan sings the hypnotic vocal part in Elena KatsChernin’s entrancing Wild Swans, and Alban Berg’s Piano Sonata is given a fresh and invigorating makeover in Julian Yu’s new orchestration. As with Beethoven’s Fifth, the overture to Die Fledermaus contains music that will be instantly familiar. One great tune follows another in Johann Strauss’s most effervescent overture.

You have him play to both of his strengths: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ralph Vaughan Williams. Mozart arrived in Vienna in his mid-20s and set about making a name for himself by composing a steady stream of remarkable concertos, among them the Piano Concerto No 14. Some years later he wrote the concert aria Ch’io mi scordi di te, which includes an elaborate piano part that he himself played. Vaughan Williams’ Tallis Fantasia and Pastoral Symphony are among the most beautiful works by the most English of English composers. They conjure up a serene world of rolling hills, gentle meadows and sunlight dappled glades.

Giordano Bellincampi conductor Piers Lane piano CHERUBINI Les deux journées – Overture BEETHOVEN Piano Concerto No 3 J S BACH arr WEBERN Ricercare from A Musical Offering MENDELSSOHN Symphony No 5, Reformation Beethoven’s only piano concerto in a minor key, the Concerto No 3 is a work of revolutionary energy that places huge demands upon the soloist. Sparks will fly and notes will sparkle as pianist Piers Lane tames this colossal beast. Beethoven had tremendous regard for his Italian-French contemporary Luigi Cherubini, whose hugely successful opera Les deux journées was a powerful influence upon Beethoven’s own opera, Fidelio. Felix Mendelssohn was one of classical music’s most precocious talents and in the Reformation Symphony he develops well-known sacred LAUNCESTON melodies, including the chorale tune ‘Ein feste Burg’ (A Mighty Fortress), which itself was given masterly treatment by J S Bach, whose Ricercare from A Musical Offering is heard in Webern’s multi-coloured orchestration.

Best-selling children’s book The Peasant Prince comes to life with music, storytelling and big-screen projections. Li Cunxin’s inspirational tale – based upon his autobiography, Mao’s Last Dancer – traces the journey of a young boy from rural China who, against all odds, becomes one of the most famous dancers in the world. Be moved by this heartwarming story and be carried away by the beautiful music and stunning images. TASMANIAN SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

In this feast of 18th-century music, Elizabeth Wallfisch directs the TSO and appears as soloist in Haydn’s C-major Violin Concerto, a work of transparent beauty and invigorating freshness. Her husband, Raphael Wallfisch, appears as soloist in C P E Bach’s astoundingly virtuosic A-minor Cello Concerto. Further music by Haydn – the first in his great series of London symphonies – and an overture by J C Bach, another of the sons of J S Bach, cap off a concert of masterworks performed by master musicians.

Two Choirs As One will showcase the TSO Chorus along with TSO Brass & Percussion, performing either as separate ensembles or in concert.

Composed for the great Czech cellist Hanuš Wihan in the mid-1890s, it combines technical virtuosity with heartfelt emotion. In the course of writing the work, Dvorˇák received word of the death of a much loved friend, and the concerto takes on a beautifully serene tone as it makes its way towards its elegiac conclusion. Schoenberg’s Chamber Symphony No 2 is a landmark work of musical modernism while Prokofiev’s Classical Symphony brims with vitality and good humour.

See the pictures that inspired the music! Modest Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition has long been a concert favourite, whether in the famous orchestration by Maurice Ravel or one of the many other orchestral arrangements. In this concert you hear Mussorgsky’s wonderful music and see projected onto a screen above the orchestra the paintings that motivated the composer in the first place. A feast for the eyes and ears, Pictures at an Exhibition is a concert that all the family will enjoy.

When Mozart’s father, Leopold, met Joseph Haydn in Vienna in 1785, Haydn remarked, ‘Before God and as an honest man, your son is the greatest composer I know, either personally or by name.’ Haydn was no slouch himself and in this concert the two great Viennese contemporaries stand shoulder to shoulder. Mozart’s Concerto for Flute and Harp is one of the most sparkling works that ever flowed from his hand, and Haydn’s Miracle Symphony is, well, miraculous. Music by Suppé and Johann Strauss II open a window onto a different Vienna altogether. The overture to Poet and Peasant is a rollicking operetta curtain-raiser and the Kaiser Waltz – or, in English, Emperor Waltz – is among the finest of the many hundreds of waltzes by Vienna’s undisputed ‘Waltz King’.

Marko Letonja conductor Cheryl Barker soprano Members of the Australian Youth Orchestra R STRAUSS Der Rosenkavalier – First Waltz Sequence R STRAUSS Moonlight Music and Closing Scene from Capriccio MAHLER Symphony No 5 We inaugurate our Vienna Alive series in grand style with the dazzling First Waltz Sequence from Richard Strauss’s ever popular opera Der Rosenkavalier. Strauss was a contemporary of Gustav Mahler, a remarkable composer who enlarged the symphony in every respect, from the size of the orchestra to the emotional intensity of the music. The TSO will be augmented by the finest players from the Australian Youth Orchestra so that the full power of Mahler’s Fifth can be realised. Australian soprano Cheryl Barker, who is without peer as an interpreter of Strauss, captures the beauty and radiance of Countess Madeleine, the heroine of Strauss’s enchanting final opera, Capriccio. Strauss was renowned for his magnificent vocal writing and in Capriccio his melodic lines surge, soar and touch the heart.

Nicholas McGegan conductor Michael Collins clarinet BEETHOVEN Coriolan Overture WEBER Clarinet Concerto No 2 BEETHOVEN Symphony No 3, Eroica Few composers are as closely associated with Vienna as Ludwig van Beethoven. Although a native of Germany’s Rhineland, Beethoven moved to Vienna at the age of 21 and remained there for the rest of his life. Beethoven’s capacity to shock and awe his Viennese audiences reached new heights with the Eroica Symphony. To this day it remains tremendously dynamic and forceful. Heinrich von Collin’s play Coriolan was a popular hit in Vienna, such that Beethoven subsequently wrote a thrilling overture for it. At precisely the same time that Beethoven was making his mark in Vienna, Carl Maria von Weber was advancing his career in various German cities. His Clarinet Concerto No 2 shows off all of the tone colours of the most versatile of woodwind instruments. In the hands of master clarinettist Michael Collins, it will shine as never before.

The Australian National Academy of Music (ANAM) is dedicated to the artistic and professional development of the nation’s finest young musicians. In this concert you get to hear students from ANAM perform back-toback concertos. Enjoy exceptional music-making at the exceptional price of only $20 ($15 concession/student).

Swan Lake and The Sleeping Beauty are among the favourite works by this all-time favourite composer. A different kind of tunefulness pervades Samuel Barber’s Cello Concerto, a work that was once likened by American commentator Virgil Thomson to a concerto by Brahms. Acclaimed Swedish cellist Torleif Thedéen makes his TSO debut performing this compelling work. The concert gets off to a lively start with a riotous orchestral showpiece, Dvorˇák’s Carnival overture.

Music by Paul Patterson Story adapted by Donald Sturrock from Roald Dahl’s Revolting Rhymes A girl in a red cape. An old lady in bed. A cunning wolf. Roald Dahl takes the familiar ingredients of Little Red Riding Hood and gives them a fresh makeover in his quirky retelling of the classic fairy tale. As you would expect, his adaptation is filled with idiosyncratic delights. Maybe grandma isn’t quite so helpless. Maybe the wolf isn’t quite so clever. Maybe Red Riding Hood isn’t quite so gullible. Dahl’s whimsical adaptation is paired with an equally good-humoured score by composer Paul Patterson. The Brothers Grimm were never quite as much fun as this!

Johannes Fritzsch conductor Siobhan Stagg soprano Sally-Anne Russell mezzo-soprano Henry Choo tenor Andrew Collis bass TSO Chorus MOZART Symphony No 36, Linz SCHNITTKE Moz-Art à la Haydn HAYDN Harmoniemesse LAUNCESTON

Joseph Haydn crowned his career as a composer of masses with the Harmoniemesse, one of the most beautiful masses ever written. ‘Harmonie’ refers to Haydn’s lavish scoring for woodwind instruments, but in addition to winds, the mass includes full orchestra, vocal soloists and large chorus. Mozart was en route from Salzburg to Vienna when he wrote the Linz Symphony, a remarkable creation that was dashed off in a matter of days. Looking for proof of Mozart’s genius? Look no further! Alfred Schnittke’s Moz-Art à la Haydn is a mash-up of Mozart and modernism with a touch of Haydn thrown in for good measure. Schnittke mixes the familiar and the not-so-familiar in ways that are surprising and beguiling.

Come on this exhilarating journey with pianist Caroline Almonte. Kurt Weill, famous for The Threepenny Opera, summons Mozartian textures in his Symphony No 2, a work that was composed in the tumultuous 1930s, a time when the composer was in exile from Hitler’s Germany. Johann Strauss’s Artists’ Life (Künstler-Leben) was written in the wake of the phenomenally successful The Blue Danube and is every bit as enthralling, and Rossini offers one of the most entertaining of all overtures in the curtain-raiser to the opera The Thieving Magpie.

A deeply emotional work, it touches the listener in profound and poignant ways. It is without question one of classical music’s great experiences. Mozart’s Haffner Symphony offers an altogether different experience. One of the composer’s sunniest works, it is irresistibly good-natured. The percussion section comes to the fore in Bartók’s Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta; a 20th-century classic that is unsettling, powerful and wonderful. Not to be missed!

Fantastic in every sense, Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique presents the most extravagant of Romantic fantasies – a ‘narrative’ of unrequited love, opium dreams, murder, execution and a witches’ sabbath. To say that this monumental work is over the top is to state the obvious. Brahms’s haunting Four Serious Songs are respectfully and imaginatively orchestrated and enlarged by Detlev Glanert in his Four Preludes and Serious Songs. Teddy Tahu Rhodes has made this work his own, having performed and recorded it with the TSO to great acclaim. See Teddy in action, bask in his aura and be moved by his voice.

29 August | HOBART Vienna played a crucially important role in the development of orchestral music. What we know of as the ‘Classical Style’ is fundamentally the ‘Viennese Style’, with Vienna-based composers such as Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven laying the groundwork for techniques and traditions that remain the lifeblood of orchestras to this day. In Vienna Alive we celebrate Viennese music in all its guises, from the music of the pioneers listed above to Gustav Mahler and the lighter music of Johann Strauss, Franz von Suppé and Franz Lehár. Come with us to classical music’s heartland. Come with us to Vienna.

Mahler’s Vienna was the city of Gustav Klimt, Sigmund Freud and Otto Wagner. The Vienna Secession was shaking up the world of art, Freud was delving into the deepest recesses of the mind, and the city’s famous cafes were buzzing with ideas (and groaning under displays of delectable cakes). Mahler was appointed Director of the Vienna Opera in 1897 and played his part in making Vienna a cultural powerhouse. Of Mahler’s nine numbered symphonies, the Fifth is among the best loved and is especially famous for its sublime fourth movement, the Adagietto. Richard Strauss was an exact contemporary of Mahler’s and, while Bavarian, wrote the most famous of all operas set in Vienna, Der Rosenkavalier. Strauss’s final opera, Capriccio, is a gorgeous summing up of a lifetime’s achievements. If you love Strauss’s Four Last Songs, you’ll love the Closing Scene from Capriccio, especially as sung by Cheryl Barker.

NICHOLAS MCGEGAN

MICHAEL COLLINS

The ‘hero’ of Beethoven’s Third Symphony, Eroica, was intended to be Napoleon Bonaparte. But Beethoven was so appalled by Napoleon declaring himself emperor he tore up the dedication page and inscribed the symphony ‘to the memory of a great man’. Ironically, within a few months of the Eroica’s première in Vienna in 1805, Napoleon and his troops were occupying the city. Heroic in every respect – including a sombre funeral march fit for the mightiest of fallen heroes – the Eroica is among the most forceful and compelling of all of Beethoven’s works. The Coriolan Overture is likewise full of drama and intensity. Although Beethoven was not Viennese by birth – his hometown was Bonn – he spent most of his life in the Austrian capital and a group of Viennese aristocrats guaranteed Beethoven a stipend for life on the condition that he remain in Vienna and compose music. His glory was their glory.

At the age of six Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart jumped onto the lap of Maria Theresa, Archduchess of Austria and Queen of Bohemia, and kissed her profusely. Mozart was on his first trip to Vienna and he was excited. At the age of 25 he decided to quit his hometown of Salzburg and settle in Vienna, and so he lived out his last decade as a freelance musician in the Austrian capital. Mozart and Haydn sometimes played string quartets together – Mozart took the viola part – and this concert features music by both of these Vienna-based composers: a Mozart concerto and a Haydn symphony. It also includes Viennese music of a later era, a period when operetta ruled the stage and the whole city swayed to the beat of ‘Waltz King’ Johann Strauss II.

JOHANNES FRITZSCH

When Haydn escaped to the ‘big smoke’, he escaped to Vienna. For much of the year he lived and worked on the rural estates of the Esterházy family where his role was to compose music for daily life. The isolation turned out to be a plus as it forced Haydn to be inventive. And the demanding nature of the job meant that he had to be productive, so he ended up composing a huge quantity of music. The Esterházy’s star composer became the toast of Vienna and commissions flowed in from Paris and London. At the time that he wrote the Harmoniemesse, in 1802, Haydn was the most famous composer in Europe. Haydn knew Mozart personally so it is fitting that Haydn’s Vienna includes Mozart’s Linz Symphony as well as Alfred Schnittke’s Moz-Art à la Haydn, an ingenious homage to both composers that was written in the 1970s.

You’ve made it through hard-core Vienna – the music of Mahler, Mozart, Beethoven and Haydn – now reward yourself with A Night in Vienna and experience the Austrian capital’s lighter side. It seems only right that the city of Freud should have a split personality! Enjoy marches, waltzes and operetta excerpts with Marko Letonja, TSO Chief Conductor and Artistic Director, and acclaimed soprano Lorina Gore. Let Vienna’s ‘light music’ masters – Johann Strauss, Franz von Suppé and Franz Lehár – take you to a world of opulent balls, glittering parties and shadowy gypsy taverns. A Night in Vienna is night you won’t want to miss!
