At no time was the separation between Mozart’s personal life and his transcendent music more apparent than in the summer of 1788, when, at the age of 32, he had only three years to live. His wife was ill and his own health was beginning to fail; his six-month-old daughter died on July 29th; Don Giovanni was given a disappointing reception at its Viennese premiere on May 7th; he had small prospect of participating in any important concerts; and he was so impoverished and indebted that he would not answer a knock on the door for fear of finding a creditor there. Yet, amid all these difficulties, he produced, in less than two months, the three crowning jewels of his orchestral output, the Symphonies Nos. 39, 40 and 41. The G minor alone of the last three symphonies may reflect the composer’s distressed emotional state at the time. It is among those great works of Mozart that look forward to the passionately charged music of the 19th century while epitomizing the structural elegance of the waning Classical era. The Symphony’s pervading mood of tragic restlessness is established immediately at the outset by a simple, arpeggiated figure in the violas above which the violins play the agitated main theme. This melody is repeated with added woodwind chords to lead through a stormy transition to the second theme. After a moment of silence, a contrasting, lyrical melody is shared by strings and winds. The respite from the movement’s driving energy provided by the dulcet second theme is brief, however, and tension soon mounts again. The wondrous development section gives prominence to the fragmented main theme. The recapitulation returns the earlier themes in heightened settings. The Andante, in sonata form, uses rich chromatic harmonies and melodic half-steps to create a mood of brooding intensity and portentous asceticism. Because of its somber minor-key harmonies, powerful irregular phrasing and dense texture, the Minuet was judged by Arturo Toscanini to be one of the most darkly tragic pieces ever written. The character of the Minuet is emphasized by its contrast with the central trio, the only untroubled portion of the entire work. The finale opens with a rocket theme that revives the insistent rhythmic energy of the first movement. The gentler second theme, with a full share of piquant chromatic inflections, slows the hurtling motion only briefly. The development section exhibits a contrapuntal ingenuity that few late-18th-century composers could match in technique and none surpass in musicianship. The recapitulation maintains the Symphony’s tragic mood to the close.

Dvořák composed his Violin Concerto during the first flowering of his representative Czech style. His biographer Otakar Šourek wrote, “The national character of Dvořák’s music became strongly marked when he began to make his appeal outside his own country, and felt impelled to emphasize his national origins and characteristics. This was about the beginning of 1878.” In this Concerto, Dvořák was influenced by several facets of the Czech personality — the blending of sadness and determination in the first movement, the tenderness of the second, and the boisterous peasant joy of the finale. The main theme group of the Concerto’s first movement comprises a bold, almost tragic, opening statement, a lamenting phrase with a prominent triplet rhythm presented by the soloist and (after a repetition of the first two motives) a lyrical woodwind strain above a simple string accompaniment. These three motives are treated at some length before the smoothly flowing second theme is introduced as a duet for oboe and solo violin. The development section is a challenging exercise in broken chords for the soloist. The recapitulation is greatly truncated, and brings back only the lamenting theme from the exposition. A delicate woodwind chorale leads without pause to the second movement, a song of sweet nostalgia sung by the soloist. The bucolic mood is twice interrupted by stern proclamations from the orchestra. The finale is a scintillating rondo whose main theme is reminiscent of the fiery Czech dance, the furiant.

It is one of the great ironies in 19th century music that Smetana conceived the first melody for Má Vlast (“My Country”), the splendid cycle of six tone poems inspired by the land and lore of his native Bohemia, at the same time he lost his hearing. Had he not been able to look to the example of the deaf Beethoven, he might well have abandoned this work, but he pressed on and completed Vyšehrad by November 1874 and immediately began The Moldau, which was finished in less than three weeks, on December 8th. Šárka dates from 1875; From Bohemia’s Woods and Meadows was composed between June 3rd and October 18th of the same year; Tábor was finished in 1878 and Blaník in 1879. The first complete performance of Má Vlast, on November 2, 1882 in Prague (the cycle is dedicated to the city of Prague), was the occasion for a patriotic rally, and, like Sibelius’ great national hymn Finlandia, this music has since become an emblem of its country’s national pride. Má Vlast is the traditional music played every year on May 12th, the anniversary of Smetana’s death, to open the Prague Spring Festival. Of the third movement of Má Vlast, the composer noted, “This poem depicts the story of Šárka. It begins with the enraged Šárka [one of the girls at the court of the Přemysl, the founding family of Bohemia, who rebelled at being ruled by men after the death of Queen Libuše] swearing vengeance on the whole male race for the infidelity of her lover. From afar is heard the arrival of armed men led by Ctirad, who has come to punish Šárka and her rebellious maidens. In the distance, Ctirad hears the feigned cries of a girl (Šárka) bound to a tree. On seeing her, he is overcome by her beauty and so inflamed with love that he frees her. By means of a previously prepared potion, she intoxicates Ctirad and his men, who fall asleep. As she sounds her horn (a pre-arranged signal), the rebel maidens, hidden in nearby rocks, rush to commit the bloody deed. The horror of general slaughter and the passion and fury of Šárka’s fulfilled revenge form the end of the composition.” Šárka, the most graphically detailed movement of Má Vlast, is divided into five continuous, almost cinematic, sequences. The first section (marked “with fire” in the score) portrays the fury of the avowed manhater. Next comes a swaggering march to accompany the entry of Ctirad and his knights. A solo clarinet intones the duplicitous cry of Šárka, to which Ctirad (solo cello) gives an impassioned response as he loosens her bonds. An episode of warmly lyrical music suggests Ctirad’s wooing of the cunning maid before a soft, trilled string chord introduces the scherzo-like fourth section, which depicts the drunken revels of the warriors. Šárka’s philter has its effect, and the festive music dies away as the men fall asleep (the low C’s on the bassoon suggest their snoring). Šárka sounds her horn and exhorts her followers (another clarinet solo) to undertake the slaughter that fills the last chapter of this dramatic tone poem.

By 1914, the Habsburg dynasty had ruled central Europe for over six centuries. Rudolf I of Switzerland, the first of the Habsburgs, confiscated Austria and much surrounding territory in 1276, made them hereditary family possessions in 1282, and, largely through shrewd marriages with far-flung royal families, the Habsburgs thereafter gained control over a vast empire that at one time stretched from the Low Countries to the Philippines and from Spain to Hungary. By the mid-19th century, following the geo-political upheavals of the Napoleonic Wars, the Habsburg dominions had shrunk to the present territories of Austria, Hungary, Czech Republic and Slovakia, a considerable reduction from earlier times but still a huge expanse of land encompassing a great diversity of national characteristics. The eastern countries continued to be dissatisfied with their domination by the Viennese monarchy, however, and the central fact of the history of Hungary and the Czech lands during the 19th century was their striving toward independence from the Habsburgs. The Dual Monarchy of 1867 allowed the eastern lands a degree of autonomy, but ultimate political and fiscal authority still rested with Emperor Franz Joseph and his court in Vienna. It was not until 1918, following the ravages of World War I, that the centuries-long Habsburg rule over central Europe finally came to an end. Leoš Janáček was among those many Czechs at the turn of the twentieth century who longed for freedom for their native land from the Habsburgs. The son of a village schoolmaster, Janáček became a chorister in Brno at age eleven before going to Prague, Vienna and Leipzig for advanced musical training. He did much to further the musical life of his country, founding the Brno Philharmonic Society in 1881 and later serving as professor at the Prague Conservatory. In addition, Janáček not only gave much time to collecting folk music, which he considered an indispensable component of his country’s national character, but he also developed a specifically Czech vocal style based on the sounds, rhythms and inflections of the local spoken dialects, comparable to that achieved by Mussorgsky in Russia. (The opera Jenůfa — his first international success, at age 50, in 1904 — solidified his unique style, and was followed by a remarkable series of stage works that contain some of the most powerful music drama ever conceived: Katya Kabanova, The Cunning Little Vixen, The Makropoulos Affair and From the House of the Dead.) Just as he wanted a music free from Germanic domination, so Janáček wanted his country politically free from the Habsburgs. He believed that this end could best be accomplished by an alliance of all the Slavic peoples led by Russia since, as he wrote in a letter to his friend Richard Vesely, “In the whole world there are to be found neither fires nor tortures strong enough to destroy the vitality of the Russian nation.” Soon after war broke out in 1914, Janáček, then sixty years old, expressed his sympathy for

the Russians who were fighting the Germans and their Austrian allies by creating a three-movement symphonic poem. He based his work on episodes from Nikolai Gogol’s 1839 novel about the heroic Taras Bulba, who led the Zaporozhye Cossacks, the warlike people of the lower Don River valley who were frequently utilized by Russian rulers in the late Middle Ages for their prowess as fighters, in a victorious battle against the Poles in 1628. Janáček began the piece in 1915, but, as was usual for him, work went slowly and the score was not completed until Good Friday, March 29, 1918. It was to be another three years before it was performed; František Neumann conducted the Brno National Theater Orchestra in the premiere of Taras Bulba on October 9, 1921. The three movements of Taras Bulba, which depict Taras killing his own son for betraying his people (The Death of Andri), the martyrdom of his second son (The Death of Ostap), and his own execution and vision of ultimate victory and the coming of a great Czar to rule all the Russians (The Prophecy and Death of Taras Bulba), are dramatic in form, and follow closely the narrative of Gogol’s story.

//////// MICHAEL FRANCISRecently appointed Chief Conductor and Artistic Advisor to Sweden’s Norrköping Symphony Orchestra, Michael Francis follows in the footsteps of Herbert Blomstedt and Franz Welser-Möst, each of whom were Chief Conductor with the orchestra in the early stages of their careers. His successful 2010 “step-in” debut with the San Francisco Symphony has led to his conducting that orchestra’s New Year’s Concerts in 2011 and 2012 and to conduct nine classical concerts in each the 2011 and 2012 summer seasons. Most recent and upcoming debuts include those with the Boston, Washington, Pittsburgh, Vancouver, Bournemouth, Toronto, Milwaukee, New World, Ottawa and Quebec Symphonies, as well as the Dresden, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Japan Philharmonics, while making return visits to Stuttgart, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, San Francisco, Oregon, Seattle and BBC Wales. Other acclaimed debut concerts included the New York Philharmonic, Houston, Seattle, and Oregon Symphonies as well as with Mariinsky Orchestra, Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, and Münchner Symphoniker. His musical collaboration with Anne-Sophie Mutter began in January 2009 when he made ‘step-in’ performances for André Previn in four German cities conducting Mozart and Gubaidulina concerti plus major works of Hindemith. He has also appeared with Ms. Mutter in the 2010 world premiere of Wolfgang Rihm’s Lichtes Spiel with the

New York Philharmonic, and on a 2012 European tour conducting Sebastian Currier’s Violin Concerto Time Machine with the RSO Stuttgart. In May 2012, they collaborated again on a tour of seven European cities with an orchestra of musicians from the Berlin and Vienna Philharmonics. Michael Francis returned to Asia with Ms. Mutter in November 2012 for concerts in Taiwan and Hong Kong having earlier conducted a series of concerts for her in 2010 with the National Taipei Symphony Orchestra and the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra. While on this tour, Mr. Francis again “stepped-in” to conduct the Tokyo City Philharmonic Orchestra to great triumph. Michael Francis came to prominence as a conductor in January 2007 when he was asked, with twelve hours notice, to replace an indisposed Valery Gergiev for the rehearsals and performance of Gubaidulina’s Märchen-Poem and Pro et Contra with the London Symphony Orchestra during the BBC Gubaidulina festival at the Barbican Centre. Only one month later, Michael was asked, this time with only two hours notice, to replace the composer/conductor John Adams in a performance of his own works with the LSO at the Philharmonie Luxembourg; the program was Slonimsky’s Earbox, The Dharma at Big Sur (an electric violin concerto with Leila Josefowicz) and Naïve and Sentimental Music. These performances mark Michael Francis’ debut with the PSO.

////An artist known for his musical integrity, technical assurance and intelligent, compelling interpretations, Christian Tetzlaff is internationally recognized as one of the most important violinists of his generation. From the outset of his career, Tetzlaff has performed and recorded a broad spectrum of the repertoire, ranging from Bach’s unaccompanied sonatas and partitas to 19th century masterworks by Mendelssohn, Beethoven and Brahms; and from 20th century concertos by Bartok, Berg and Shostakovich to world premieres of contemporary works. Also a dedicated chamber musician, he frequently collaborates with distinguished artists including Leif Ove Andsnes, Lars Vogt and Alexander Lonquich and is the founder of the Tetzlaff Quartet, which he formed in 1994 with violinist Elisabeth Kufferath, violist Hanna Weinmeister and his sister, cellist Tanja Tetzlaff. Born in Hamburg in 1966, music occupied a central place in his family and his three siblings are all professional musicians. Tetzlaff began playing the violin and piano at age six, but pursued a regular academic education while continuing his musical studies. He did not begin intensive study of the violin until making his concert debut playing the Beethoven Violin Concerto at the age of 14 and attributes the establishment of his musical outlook to his teacher at the conservatory in Lübeck, Uwe-Martin Haiberg, who placed equal stress on interpretation and technique. Tetzlaff came to the United States during the 1985-86 academic year to work with Walter Levine at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music and also spent two summers at the Marlboro Music Festival in Vermont. Tetzlaff has been in demand as a soloist with many of the world’s leading orchestras and conductors, establishing close artistic partnerships that are renewed season after season. Tetzlaff has performed with the orchestras of Chicago, Cleveland, Boston, Philadelphia, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Toronto, among many others in North America, as well as with the major European ensembles including the Berlin Philharmonic, London Symphony, Orchestre de Paris, Vienna Philharmonic, Rotterdam Philharmonic and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam. Highlights of Mr. Tetzlaff’s 2012-2013

season in North America include appearances with the New York Philharmonic, the Pittsburgh, New World and Montreal symphonies, the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra and a three concert chamber music project at the 92nd St. Y in New York. European highlights include return visits to the Berlin and London Philharmonics, Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, Orchestre de Paris and the London Symphony. Christian Tetzlaff was a 2010-2011 Carnegie Hall Perspectives artist, an initiative in which musicians are invited to curate a personal concert series in Carnegie and Zankel Halls through collaborations with other musicians and ensembles. Mr. Tetzlaff’s Perspectives included an appearance with the Boston Symphony during which he played concertos by Mozart, Bartok and the New York premiere of a new concerto by Harrison Birtwistle; a play/conduct performance with the Orchestra of St. Luke’s; a performance with the Ensemble ACJW led by Sir Simon Rattle; a concert with the Tetzlaff Quartet; and a duo-recital with violinist Antje Weithaas. He also led a Professional Training Workshop for young violinists and pianists, culminating in a young artist concert. Tetzlaff’s highly regarded recordings reflect the breadth of his musical interests and include solo works, chamber music and concertos ranging from Haydn to Bartok. His recent recordings include Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto with the Russian National Orchestra and Kent Nagano for PentaTone Classics; Beethoven’s Violin Concerto with the Tonhalle Orchestra and David Zinman for Arte Nova; the complete Bach Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin for the Musical Heritage and Haenssler labels; Berg’s Chamber Concerto for piano, violin with 13 wind instruments with Mitsuko Uchida and the Ensemble Intercontemporain led by Pierre Boulez for Decca; and Schumann’s Three Piano Trios with Leif Ove Andsnes and Tanja Tetzlaff for EMI/Virgin. Mr. Tetzlaff’s latest recordings include Szymanowski’s Violin Concerto No. 1 with the Vienna Philharmonic led by Mr. Boulez for Deutsche Grammophon; the Schumann and Mendelssohn Violin Concertos with Frankfurt Radio Orchestra and Paavo Järvi for Edel Classics; and Schönberg’s String Quartet No. 1 and Sibelius’s Quartet op. 56 with the Tetzlaff Quartet on the AVI label.

In the 1860s, Russian music was just beginning to find its distinctive voice. A number of composers — Balakirev, Cui, Borodin, Rimsky-Korsakov and Mussorgsky — explored native musical and folkloric sources as the basis of a national art, and became loosely confederated into a group known as “The Mighty Handful” in Russia and “The Five” in the West. Since their works took their inspiration largely from indigenous legends and folk music, Mussorgsky considered himself lucky to receive a commission in 1861 (when he was just 21) for a dramatic musical composition based on a specifically Russian subject. On January 7th, he wrote to his mentor, Balakirev, “I have received an extremely interesting commission [for music for a drama titled The Witch by his friend Baron Georgy Fyodorovitch Mengden], which I must prepare for next summer. It is this: a whole act to take place on Bald Mountain … a Witches’ Sabbath, separate episodes of sorcerers, a solemn march for all this nastiness, a finale — the glorification of the Sabbath into which is introduced the commander of the whole festival on the Bald Mountain. The libretto is very good. I already have some material for it; it may turn out to be a very good thing.” The mountain to which Mussorgsky referred, well known in Russian legend, is Mount Triglav, near Kiev, reputed to be the site of the annual witches’ sabbath that occurs on St. John’s Night, June 23-24, the eve of the feast of St. John the Baptist. The sinister god Chernobog, the devil himself in disguise, presides over the demonic revelries. The dramatic version of the music came to nothing, but Mussorgsky did complete a symphonic piece titled St. John’s Night on Bald Mountain in a creative frenzy in 1867. He tinkered with the music for a while and even mined some of its themes for inclusion in two later works: as a chorus for an aborted operatic project titled Mlada, a composite work to which Cui, Borodin and Rimsky-Korsakov also contributed some material; and as a choral introduction to the opera The Fair at Sorochinsk. However, A Night on Bald Mountain, Mussorgsky’s only extended orchestral work, never came to performance during his lifetime — the original orchestral version of 1867 was not published until 1968, and first recorded only in 1981. What is now commonly known as A Night on Bald Mountain is as much the work of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov as of Mussorgsky. Rimsky was a self-appointed editor for many compositions by his Russian compatriots that he felt could use some polishing before being launched into the world. He thoroughly revised works by Borodin and Dargomyzsky, and prepared almost all of Mussorgsky’s compositions for publication and performance. In the case of A Night on Bald Mountain, he not only smoothed out the harmonies and augmented the orchestration, but also strengthened the work’s formal structure. Rimsky prefaced his score with the following synopsis of the action

portrayed by the music: “Subterranean sounds of supernatural voices ... Appearance of the spirits of darkness, followed by that of Satan himself ... Glorification of Satan and celebration of the Black Mass ... The Sabbath Revels ... At the height of the orgies the bell of the village church, sounding in the distance, disperses the spirits of darkness ... Daybreak.” The mood of the music is dark, unearthly and more than a little weird. At the beginning, swirling strings and shrieks from the woodwinds, like great gusts of wind, seem to rise out of the ground itself. The trombones blare forth a savage summons for the demons to assemble; their arrival is portrayed by the clucking and chattering of the woodwinds. A loud brass fanfare marks the appearance of Satan, and the witches join old Beelzebub in a wild and ghoulish dance. The revels go on all night, and only when dawn breaks do the unearthly participants depart and the music return to the plodding world of mere mortals. A distant church bell sounds, and the bizarre ceremony is over. All of this demonic revelry, incidentally, was cast by Rimsky-Korsakov into sober old sonata form — the exposition and recapitulation begin with the whirling string figures and the shrieks from the woodwinds.

When he was old and as mellow as he would ever get, Rachmaninoff wrote these words about his early years: “Although I had to fight for recognition, as most younger men must, although I have experienced all the troubles and sorrow which precede success, and although I know how important it is for an artist to be spared such troubles, I realize, when I look back on my early life, that it was enjoyable, in spite of all its vexations and bitterness.” The greatest “bitterness” of Rachmaninoff’s career was the total failure of the Symphony No. 1 at its premiere in 1897, a traumatic disappointment that thrust him into such a mental depression that he suffered a complete nervous collapse. An aunt of Rachmaninoff, Varvara Satina, had recently been successfully treated for an emotional disturbance by a certain Dr. Nicholas Dahl, a Moscow physician who was familiar with the latest psychiatric discoveries in France and Vienna, and it was arranged that Rachmaninoff should visit him. Years later, in his memoirs, the composer recalled the malady and the treatment: “[Following the performance of the First Symphony] something within me snapped. A paralyzing apathy possessed me. I did nothing at all and found no pleasure in anything. Half my days were spent on a couch sighing over my ruined life. My only occupation consisted in giving a few piano lessons to keep myself alive.” For more than a year, Rachmaninoff’s condition persisted. He began his daily visits to Dr. Dahl in January 1900. “My relatives had informed Dr. Dahl that he must by all means cure me of my apathetic condition and bring about such results that I would again be able to compose. Dahl had inquired what kind of composition was desired of me, and he was

Concerto No. 2 in C minor for Piano and Orchestra, Opus 18(1900-1901)

In the autumn of 1813, Johann Nepomuk Mälzel, the inventor of the metronome, approached Beethoven with the proposal that the two organize a concert to benefit the soldiers wounded at the recent Battle of Hanau — with, perhaps, two or three repetitions of the concert to benefit themselves. Beethoven was eager to have the as-yet-unheard A major Symphony of the preceding year performed, and he thought the financial reward worth the trouble, so he agreed. The concert consisted of this “Entirely New Symphony” by Beethoven, marches by Dussek and Pleyel performed on a “Mechanical Trumpeter” fabricated by Mälzel, and an orchestral arrangement of Wellington’s Victory, a piece Beethoven had concocted the previous summer for yet another of Mälzel’s musical machines, the “Panharmonicon.” The evening was such a success that Beethoven’s first biographer, Anton Schindler, reported, “All persons, however they had previously dissented from his music, now agreed to award him his laurels.” The Seventh Symphony is a magnificent creation in which Beethoven displayed several technical innovations that were to have a profound influence on the music of the 19th century: he expanded the scope of symphonic structure through the use of more distant tonal areas; he

informed ‘a concerto for pianoforte.’ In consequence, I heard repeated, day after day, the same hypnotic formula, as I lay half somnolent in an armchair in Dr. Dahl’s consulting room: ‘You will start to compose a concerto — You will work with the greatest of ease — The composition will be of excellent quality.’ Always it was the same, without interruption.... Although it may seem impossible to believe,” Rachmaninoff continued, “this treatment really helped me. I started to compose again at the beginning of the summer.” In gratitude, he dedicated the new Concerto to Dr. Dahl. The C minor Concerto begins with eight bell-tone chords from the solo piano that herald the surging main theme, announced by the strings. A climax is achieved before a sudden drop in intensity makes way for the arching second theme, initiated by the soloist. The development, concerned largely with the first theme, is propelled by a martial rhythm that continues with undiminished energy into the recapitulation. The second theme returns in the horn before the martial mood is re-established to close the movement. The Adagio is a long-limbed nocturne with a running commentary of sweeping figurations from the piano. The finale resumes the marching rhythmic motion of the first movement with its introduction and bold main theme. Standing in bold relief to this vigorous music is the lyrical second theme, one of the best-loved melodies in the entire orchestral literature, a grand inspiration in the ripest Romantic tradition. These two themes, the martial and the romantic, alternate for the remainder of the movement. The coda rises through a finely crafted line of mounting tension to bring this work to an electrifying close.

brought an unprecedented richness and range to the orchestral palette; and he gave a new awareness of rhythm as the vitalizing force in music. It is particularly the last of these characteristics that most immediately affects the listener, and to which commentators have consistently turned to explain the vibrant power of the work. Perhaps the most famous such observation about the Seventh Symphony is that of Richard Wagner, who called the work “the apotheosis of the Dance in its highest aspect ... the loftiest deed of bodily motion incorporated in an ideal world of tone.” Couching his observation in less highfalutin language, John N. Burk believed that its rhythm gave this work a feeling of immense grandeur incommensurate with its relatively short forty-minute length. “Beethoven,” Burk explained, “seems to have built up this impression by willfully driving a single rhythmic figure through each movement, until the music attains (particularly in the body of the first movement and in the Finale) a swift propulsion, an effect of cumulative growth which is akin to extraordinary size.” A slow introduction, almost a movement in itself, opens the Symphony. This initial section employs two themes: the first, majestic and unadorned, is passed down through the winds while being punctuated by long, rising scales in the strings; the second is a graceful melody for oboe. The transition to the main part of the first movement is accomplished by the superbly controlled reiteration of a single pitch. This device not only connects the introduction with the exposition but also establishes the dactylic rhythm that dominates the movement. The Allegretto scored such a success at its premiere that it was immediately encored, a phenomenon virtually unprecedented for a slow movement. Indeed, this music was so popular that it was used to replace the brief slow movement of the Eighth Symphony at several performances during Beethoven’s lifetime. In form, the movement is a series of variations on the heartbeat rhythm of its opening measures. In spirit, however, it is more closely allied to the austere chaconne of the Baroque era than to the light, figural variations of Classicism. The third movement, a study in contrasts of sonority and dynamics, is built on the formal model of the scherzo, but expanded to include a repetition of the horn-dominated Trio (Scherzo–Trio–Scherzo–Trio–Scherzo). In the sonata-form finale, Beethoven not only produced music of virtually unmatched rhythmic energy (“a triumph of Bacchic fury,” in the words of Sir Donald Tovey), but did it in such a manner as to exceed the climaxes of the earlier movements and make it the goal toward which they had all been aimed. So intoxicating is this music that some of Beethoven’s contemporaries were sure he had composed it in a drunken frenzy. An encounter with the Seventh Symphony is a heady experience. Klaus G. Roy, the distinguished musicologist and program annotator for the Cleveland Orchestra, wrote, “Many a listener has come away from a hearing of this Symphony in a state of being punch-drunk. Yet it is an intoxication without a hangover, a dope-like exhilaration without decadence.” To which the composer’s own words may be added. “I am Bacchus incarnate,” boasted Beethoven, “appointed to give humanity wine to drown its sorrow.... He who divines the secret of my music is delivered from the misery that haunts the world.”

////Manfred Honeck was born in Austria and studied music at the Academy of Music in Vi-enna. An accomplished violinist and violist, he spent more than ten years as a member of the Vienna Philharmonic and the Vienna State Opera Orchestra. It is this experience that has heavily influenced his conducting and has helped give it a distinctive stamp. Honeck was appointed the ninth Music Director of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orches-tra in January 2007, and began his tenure at the start of the 2008-2009 season. After a first extension in 2009, his contract was extended for the second time in February 2012, now through the 2019-2020 season. Following their successful European Tour in 2010 and the Eu-ropean Festival Tour 2011 with appearances at the major music festivals, such as BBC Proms, Lucerne, Grafenegg, Rheingau, Schleswig-Holstein or Musikfest Berlin, Honeck and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra returned to Europe in October-November 2012. This year’s tour took them to Barcelona, Madrid, Paris, Luxembourg and Cologne, Frankfurt and Stuttgart in Germany. During a week-long residency at the Musikverein in Vienna, the or-chestra performed four concerts. Honeck’s suc-cessful work in Pittsburgh is captured on CD by the Japanese label Exton. So far, Mahler’s Symphonies Nos. 1, 3, 4 and 5, Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5 and Richard Strauss’ Ein Heldenleben have been released to critical ac-claim. Their recording of Mahler’s Symphony No. 4 has won a 2012 International Classical Music Award (ICMA). From 2007 to 2011, Honeck was Music Director of the Staatsoper Stuttgart, where he conducted premieres including Berlioz’s Les Troyens, Mozart’s Idomeneo, Verdi’s Aida, Richard Strauss’s Rosenkavalier, Poulenc’s Dialogues des Carmélites and Wagner’s Lo-hengrin and Parsifal, as well as numerous sym-phonic concerts. His operatic guest appear-ances include Semperoper Dresden, Komische Oper Berlin, Théâtre de la Monnaie in Brus-sels, Royal Opera of Copenhagen, the White Nights Festival in St. Petersburg and the Salz-burg Festival. He commenced his career as conduc-tor of Vienna’s Jeunesse Orchestra, which he co-founded, and as assistant to Claudio Ab-

bado at the Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra in Vienna. Subsequently, he was engaged by the Zurich Opera House, where he was bestowed the prestigious European Conductor’s Award in 1993. In 1996, Honeck began a three-year stint as one of three main conductors of the MDR Symphony Orchestra Leipzig and in 1997, he served as Music Director at the Nor-wegian National Opera in Oslo for a year. A highly successful tour of Europe with the Oslo Philharmonic marked the beginning of a close collaboration with this orchestra which conse-quently appointed him Principal Guest Con-ductor, a post he held for several years. From 2000 to 2006, he was Music Director of the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra Stock-holm and served as Principal Guest Conduc-tor of the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra from 2008 to 2011, a position he will resume from 2013 to 2016. As a guest conductor, Honeck has worked with major orchestras such as the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, Deutsches Sym-phonie-Orchester Berlin, Gewandhausorches-ter Leipzig, Staatskapelle Dresden, Royal Con-certgebouw Orchestra, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Orchestre de Paris, Israel Philhar-monic Orchestra and the Vienna Philharmonic and in the U.S. with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, National Symphony Orchestra Washington and Boston Symphony Orchestra. He is also a regular guest at the Verbier Festival. Guest engagements of the 2012-2013 season include concerts at his earlier places of activity in Stockholm and Prague, as well as appearances with other pres-tigious orchestras including Bamberg Sympho-ny, Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, Accademia di Santa Cecilia Rome, the New York Philhar-monic and the Cleveland Orchestra and his debut with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. In 2010, Honeck was awarded an hon-orary doctorate from St. Vincent College in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. Apart from his numer-ous tasks as conductor, he has been Artistic Director of the “International Concerts Wolfegg” in Germany for more than 15 years.

////Denis Matsuev has become a fast-rising star on the international concert stage since his triumphant victory at the 11th International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow in 1998, and he is quickly establishing himself as one of the most sought-after pianists of his generation. Laureate of the prestigious Shostakovich Prize in Music and State Prize of Russian Federation in Literature and Arts, Matsuev has appeared in hundreds of recitals at the most prestigious concert halls throughout the world. Matsuev is collaborating with the world’s best known orchestras, such as the New York Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony, Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, London Symphony, London Philharmonic, Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, Bavarian Radio Symphony, National Symphony, Pittsburgh Symphony, WDR of Cologne, Frankfurt Radio and BBC Symphony, Philharmonia orchestra of London, Verbier and Budapest Festival Orchestra, Filarmonica della Scala and Zurich Opera House Orchestra, Maggio Musicale Fiorentino and Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, Orchestre National de France, Orchestre de Paris, Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse, NHK Symphony, Rotterdam and Netherlands Radio Philharmonic, Israel and Helsinki Philharmonic and the European Chamber Orchestra; he is continually re-engaged with the legendary Russian orchestras such as the St. Petersburg Philharmonic, the Mariinsky Orchestra and the Russian National Orchestra. Matsuev appears regularly with the most prominent conductors on the stage today, including Lorin Maazel, Valery Gergiev, Zubin Mehta, Mariss Jansons, Yuri Temirkanov, Kurt Masur, Paavo Jarvi, Leonard Slatkin, Myung-Whun Chung, Antonio Pappano, Semyon Bychkov, Ivan Fischer and Adam Fisher, Gianandrea Noseda, Jukka-Pekka Saraste, James Conlon, Vladimir Spivakov, Mikhail Pletnev, Vladimir Fedoseyev and others. Matsuev is a frequent guest of world famous musical festivals such as Ravinia Festival and Hollywood Bowl in the United States, BBC Proms and Edinburgh International Festival in Great Britain, Schleswig-Holstein,

Rheingau, Festspielhaus Baden-Baden in Germany, Chopin Festival in Poland, Maggio Musicale Fiorentino and Mito Festival in Italy, Les Choregies d’Orange and Festival de la Rogue d’Antheron in France, Verbier and Montreux Festivals in Switzerland, Enescu Festival in Romania, Budapest Spring Festival in Hungary, Athens and Epidaurus Festival in Greece and Stars of the White Nights Festival in Russia.

In 2007, Sony BMG released a disc featuring Matsuev entitled Unknown Rachmaninoff, which has received strong positive reviews praising his execution and creativity. Matsuev’s recital at Carnegie Hall in November 2007 was recorded and released in 2009 as an album entitled Denis Matsuev – Concert at Carnegie Hall. The New York Times praised his performance, writing, “…his

poetic instincts held fast in tender moments, with trills as thrillingly precise as one might ever hope to hear.” In 2009, the new Mariinsky Label released Rachmaninoff Concerto No. 3, which Denis Matsuev recorded with Valery Gergiev and the Mariinsky Orchestra in the Mariinsky Concert Hall in St. Petersburg, Russia. ClassicsToday.com (US) wrote, “Denis Matsuev is an amazing pianist. He shapes the Third Concerto’s fistfuls of notes with consummate mastery…” In 2011, the anniversary year of Franz List RCA Red Seal released Matsuev List, an album recorded together with the Russian National Orchestra and Mikhail Pletnev. The Independent rated this album as “Album of the week” and concluded: “This impressive double-CD of Liszt’s concertos, plus his Orpheus and Heroide, is an all-Russian effort. Matsuev’s pianism has heroic force and finely calibrated control…” In early 2012, Matsuev, Valery Gergiev and Mariinsky Label featured their new project of Shostakovich Concertos No. 1, No. 2 and Shchedrin Fifth Concerto which granted the Five Star rating of BBC Music Magazine: “Denis Matsuev may be better-known internationally as a Rachmaninoff expert, but these new accounts of the two Shaostakovich Concertos must be among the best currently available.” Norman Lebrecht continued: “Neither is a virtuoso vehicle and, the composer apart, there is no pianist who has stamped these works decisively as his or her own. Denis Matsuev, a Siberian who

made his name in Rachmaninov is perhaps the first to come close.” Over the past five years, Matsuev has collaborated with the Sergei Rachmaninoff Foundation and its president Alexander Rachmaninoff, the grandson of the composer. Matsuev was chosen by the Foundation to perform and record unknown pieces of Rachmaninoff on the composer’s own piano at the Rachmaninoff house “Villa Senar” in Lucerne. This unique program has been in high demand around the world. In 2013, the anniversary year of great composer, the Serge Rachmaninoff Foundation will percent series of concerts in some of the most prestigious concert halls throughout Russia and Europe. Matsuev is Artistic Director of three important international festivals: Annecy Music Festival in Annecy, France; “Stars on Baikal” in Irkutsk, Siberia; and “Crescendo,” a series of events held in many different international cities, such as Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Tel Aviv, Kaliningrad, Paris and New York City. These remarkable festivals present a new generation of young musicians by featuring gifted soloists from around the world performing with the best Russian orchestras. The “Crescendo” festival has had incredible resonance in Russia and abroad. Additionally, Matsuev is the president of the charitable Russian foundation “New Names” that supports children music education in regions of his native Russia. Denis Matsuev last performed with the PSO in February 2011.

LEGACY OF EXCELLENCEIn addition to income from the Annual Fund, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra is dependent on a robust Endowment to assure its financial stability. Gifts from Legacy of Excellence programs are directed to the endowment to provide for the PSO’s future. The Steinberg Society honors donors who have advised the PSO in writing that they have made a provision for the orchestra through their estate plans. Members of the Sid Kaplan Tribute program have made a planned gift to the endowment of $10,000 or more to com-memorate a particular person or event. Endowed naming opportunities for guest artists, musicians’ chairs, concert series, educational programs or designated spaces allow donors to specify a name or tribute for ten years, twenty years or in perpetuity. For additional information, please call Jan Fleisher at 412.392.3320.
