The New York Philharmonic This Week

In 2010, Sir Colin Davis led two programs: one of works by Beethoven and Mahler, and a second of Elgar’s Violin Concerto, with Nikolaj Znaider playing the same Guarnerius violin that Fritz Kreisler used at the concerto’s premiere. Fridays, September 10 and 17, 9:00 pm

Exploring Music with Bill McGlaughlin

Gustav Mahler wrote, “A symphony should be like the world: it must embrace everything.” In his symphonies, he sought to embrace love, the natural world, all life – even death. Bill devotes two weeks to Mahler’s symphonies and songs. Weeknights, September 13-24, 7:00 pm

Fiesta: Two Cubans

Born in 1939, Leo Brouwer is one of Cuba’s leading musicians, and he’s still composing. The much shorter life of Alejandro Garcia Caturla (1906-1940) was spent in the dual pursuits of music and the law. Host Elbio Barilari looks at both this month. Saturdays, September 18 and 25, 7:00 pm

Jean-Philippe Rameau

Attributed to Joseph Aved, CC BY-SA 4.0 <https://creativecommons.org/ licenses/by-sa/4.0>, via Wikimedia Commons

From the Paris Opera-Comique: Hippolyte et Aricie

Jean-Philippe Rameau was known as a music theorist and harpsichord composer when he mounted his first opera, Hippolyte et Aricie, in 1733. The libretto was based on a French stage classic of the previous century, Jean Racine’s Phedre. Long neglected over the centuries since his death and controversial when it premiered, the work has received renewed attention in recent years. Hippolyte (Hippolytus) was the son of the Greek hero Theseus. In addition to his love, Aricie, another participant in the plot is Theseus’ wife Phaedra, who is passionately in love with her stepson Hippolytus, though he rejects her. There are confrontations and misunderstandings, but the story is given a happy ending.

From Opera Southwest: Rossini’s Tancredi

Gioachino Rossini was already well known in 1813 when Tancredi premiered at the Teatro La Fenice in Venice, but the success of this work brought him to the forefront of Italian opera composers. Its leading role is for a mezzo-soprano, and in the second half of the 20th century, it was a specialty of opera star Marilyn Horne. The work abounds with dramatic scenes and virtuosic arias.The opera went through several revisions, originally with a happy ending, then with a tragic one; this production incorporates both.

Kevin Puts

Island of Innocence and Silent Night

A native of St. Louis who grew up in Michigan, composer Kevin Puts graduated from the Eastman School and Yale. Now teaching at the Peabody Institute in Baltimore, he is composer-in-residence for the Fort Worth Symphony. His Symphony No. 2, airing at 4:00 pm on September 11, is subtitled Island of Innocence. He has said that it was not intended as a 9/11 memorial, but instead is a reflection on the world as it was before that pivotal date, and afterward. Puts’s opera Silent Night, airing on Saturday, September 25 at 12:00 pm, won the 2012 Pulitzer Prize in Music, and recounts a World War I event: the Christmas 2014 truce during which British, French, and German soldiers are said to have sung Christmas carols together. Librettist Mark Campbell created a story based on this story.

Anthony Barrese

From Opera Southwest: Ali Baba

Giovanni Bottesini (1821-1889) was a virtuoso on the double-bass, but also a composer. His opera Ali Baba was based on The Arabian Nights tale of the title character and 40 thieves; it premiered in London in 1871 and has essentially been lost ever since, until Opera Southwest’s Anthony Barrese reconstructed it from the original score. Scheherazade’s story becomes the classic operatic one of a rich father and a beautiful daughter whom he tries to manipulate into a loveless marriage, then goes on to tell how she and her true love outwit him, and thwart the 40 thieves at the same time.

Muhammad Ali

Best of Studs Terkel: Muhammad Ali

In November 1975, Studs Terkel used his portable tape recorder to capture an interview with one of the bestknown and most indelible figures of the 20th century: boxing great Muhammad Ali. That conversation took place shortly after the publication of Ali’s autobiography, The Greatest: My Own Story. Studs aired the discussion in the first half of the hour, and then finished out the program with music. Muhammad Ali’s story shines anew in the latest documentary by Ken Burns, premiering on WTTW on September 19.

Rusticana” in concert form—Anita Rachvelishvili (Santuzza); Pietro Pretti (Turiddu); Luca Salsi (Alfio); Sasha Cooke (Lola); Ronnita Anita Rachvelishvili

From the Chicago Symphony: Cavalleria Rusticana

Riccardo Muti and the Chicago Symphony, with its chorus and five vocal soloists, presented Pietro Mascagni’s Cavalleria Rusticana in February 2020. The central characters here are Santuzza, sung by mezzo-soprano Anita Rachvelishvili, and her sometime lover Turiddu, portrayed by tenor Pietro Pretti who lets us know right at the beginning that his heart is really set on another woman, Lola (Sasha Cooke). Rounding out the cast are baritone Luca Salsi as Alfio, Lola’s husband; and mezzo-soprano Ronnita Miller as Lucia, Turiddu’s mother.
