From RICCARDO MUTI Zell Music Director

As music director of this great orchestra, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s 127th season.

Better than the economy, politics, or verbal languages, music can provide direct communication, tugging at the heartstrings with no need for mediation. In a challenging world, culture is one of the few things we have in our hands to save it. It represents our shared history, and its pres-ervation will teach valuable lessons to help us solve our present problems and seek a brighter future.

This season, we perform repertoire that is important to the Orchestra. This includes works by Mozart, Brahms, Bruckner, Schubert, and Rossini, among others. It is necessary that symphonic orchestras con-tinue working on the standard repertoire. It is like reading Dante. You don’t read Dante only once. You continue reading it again and again, and each time you learn more. There are details that you may not have seen earlier because you have changed. Your culture has evolved, and your perspective is different. It is the same for musicians. And, you, the listener, have a similar experience when you hear a work again and feel that evolution for yourself.

It is also import that we are part of music’s future through the perfor-mance of new works. This season, we also present many world premieres commissioned by the CSO, including works by Samuel Adams and Elizabeth Ogonek, the Mead Composers-in-Residence, whom I selected three years ago. From the moment you choose the composer to the moment they write, they evolve and can change their styles. They have new ideas, and new concepts of sound regarding how to use the orches-tra due the benefit of their residencies. I look forward to sharing their works written during their time with the Orchestra both with Chicago audiences and on tour this season.

When I first conducted the Orchestra in 1973 at the Ravinia Festival, it made a great impression on me. At that time, I realized it was an ensemble without limits in either technical possibilities or the volume of sound it could make. At the start of last season, when we performed Mussorgsky’s Pictures from an Exhibition, I had a similar experience. The sonority and variety of colors of the entire Orchestra was enormous—I had never before heard anything like it in my life. I am grateful to the musicians of all the orchestras that I have conducted around the world, but this orchestra is unique. Now in my eighth season as music director, the Orchestra continues to amaze me.

Welcome to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and “grazie” for your support of this great cultural institution.

LETTER FROM THE CHAIR AND THE PRESIDENT

It is our pleasure to welcome you to the 127th season of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Victor Hugo once wrote, “Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.” The Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association celebrates the transformative qualities of music through its commitment to the artistic excellence of the Orchestra, the Chicago Symphony Chorus, the Symphony Center Presents series, and the educational programs of the Negaunee Music Institute including the Civic Orchestra of Chicago.

Zell Music Director Riccardo Muti has curated a season that represents diverse compositional styles spanning five centuries. Works by romantic and classical composers such as Dvořák, Tchaikovsky, Bruckner, and Schubert are well represented along with those by an array of iconic and contemporary American composers. This includes three world premieres of CSO com-missions, beginning in October with All These Lighted Things by CSO Mead Composer-in-Residence Elizabeth Ogonek. This also marks the twentieth season of MusicNOW, our new-music concert series. The October 2 con-cert, MusicNOW @ 20 Years, features works by all six of the CSO’s past composers-in-residence.

In addition, we celebrate the sixtieth anniversary of the Chicago Symphony Chorus this season. Since 1957, the Chorus has made it possible for the CSO to expand its musical offerings both on stage and through many acclaimed recordings. An anniversary tribute by resident scholar Phillip Huscher appears on page 8, and more Chorus features will be made avail-able throughout the season in program books and special displays and on csosoundsandstories.org.

As part of our history of representing Chicago across the country and around the world, Maestro Muti leads the Orchestra on two major U.S. tours this season. In October, the Orchestra performs in Kansas City, Missouri, and tours California, playing eight concerts, including a three-concert residency in Berkeley and its debut at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. In February, Muti takes the Orchestra on an East Coast tour, including two performances at Carnegie Hall; a return to the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.; and concerts in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and Naples and West Palm Beach, Florida.

Back home on Michigan Avenue, we promise you a season filled with hundreds of life-enriching performances by the world’s best musicians in the beautiful setting of Orchestra Hall. You and your family and friends are in for a treat whenever you attend a Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association presentation, and we appreciate your patronage.

Thank you for your support of live music. We hope to see you often at Symphony Center during our 127th season.

T his season we pay tribute to the sixtieth anniversary of the Chicago Symphony Chorus. This splendid ensemble has become such a vital part of this city’s musical life that

it is hard to believe our orchestra gave concerts for more than sixty years without it. Almost as soon as the Orchestra’s founder, Theodore Thomas, settled in as music director in 1891, he began campaigning for a permanent ensemble to perform great land-marks of choral music. His dream at last became a reality in 1957, when music director Fritz Reiner convinced Margaret Hillis, then director of the New York Concert Choir, to put together a chorus to perform with the Orchestra, forming the ensemble as we know it today.

The public debut of the Chicago Symphony Chorus in March 1958 coincided with the final Chicago appearance of the legendary conductor Bruno Walter, who had chosen Mozart’s Requiem as his swan song. By the time the Chorus sang again a few weeks later, in Verdi’s Requiem under Reiner, the press and the public recog-nized it as an ideal match for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in its precision, pure intonation, beauty of tone, and vocal splendor. After Hillis retired in 1994, Duain Wolfe was appointed direc-tor of the Chorus following a long international search, and his

name has since become synonymous with the ensemble, as he has retained the qualities that made it famous, further extended its range, and made it his own.

Over the years, the Chorus has developed a reputation and a following far beyond Orchestra Hall. It has appeared with the Orchestra in Carnegie Hall and at the London Proms, the Berlin Fesstage, and the Salzburg Festival. Under Reiner in 1959, the Chorus made the first of many classic recordings—Prokofiev’s Alexander Nevsky, still in the catalog more than half a century later—and it has since recorded not only the great choral master-works, but also complete operas, including Verdi’s Otello on CSO Resound conducted by music director Riccardo Muti. The Chorus has received ten Grammy awards for Best Choral Performance, most recently for Verdi’s Requiem, led by Muti.

This season, the Chicago Symphony Chorus focuses on two important choral works long absent from the Orchestra’s reper-toire—Schubert’s magisterial Mass in E-flat and Rossini’s impas-sioned Stabat mater, composed after he retired from writing for the stage—both under Muti’s baton. And, early in October, the Chorus tackles a celebrated work that has never before appeared on the Chicago Symphony’s programs—Gounod’s Saint Cecilia Mass, a homage to the patron saint of music.

Highlights from Riccardo Muti’s Summer Engagements

Following performances of works by Verdi and the Prologue to Boito’s Mefistofele with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chorus at the end of June, Riccardo Muti embarked on a demanding summer of concerts that took him across Europe and to the heart of the Middle East.


11

F or twenty years, as part of Le vie dell ’Amicizia (The paths of friendship), a project of the Ravenna Festival in

Italy, Muti has annually conducted large-scale concerts in war-torn and poverty-stricken areas around the world, using music to bring hope, unity, and attention to present day social, cultural, and humanitarian issues. Paths of Friendship concerts have been presented in cities including Beirut, Cairo, Damascus, Istanbul, Sarajevo, and now Tehran.

Joining Riccardo Muti on stage in Tehran on July 6 and in Ravenna on July 8 were the Luigi Cherubini Youth Orchestra (which he founded in 2004), musicians from Italy’s leading orches-

tras, the chorus of Piacenza’s Municipal Theater, and members of the Tehran Symphony Orchestra and Chorus. Founded in 1933, the Tehran Symphony is Iran’s oldest and largest orchestra, although it has seen dark periods since the 1979 Revolution and a complete dissolu-tion in 2012 due to lack of funding. With the support of President Hassan Rouhani,

the Tehran Symphony Orchestra and Chorus were recently reestablished. Its principal conduc-tor, Shardad Rohani, was only too eager for this incredible opportunity to collaborate with Muti and his Cherubini Youth Orchestra joined by tenor Piero Pretti, baritone Luca Salsi, and bass Riccardo Zanellato, facilitated with the support of the Roudaki Foundation of Iran.

“The choice of the program—all Verdi—was the right one, because Verdi is really universal. As the Italian poet Gabriele D’Annunzio wrote when Verdi died: Pianse d’amor per tutti (He cried out of love for everyone),” said Muti. The second concert took place on July 8 in a packed Palazzo Mauro de André, Ravenna’s 4,000-seat

concert hall. Given the success of both events, Muti hopes the collaboration will spur a renewed interest in Iranian cultural heritage. Muti said in a press conference, “Since Iran and Italy enjoy rich ancient civilizations, we can use music as a bridge between the two.”

These concerts served as important symbols of friendship and delivered a message of peace while promoting dialogue between Middle Eastern and Western cultures through the shared language of music. Muti told The Financial Times, “Music that brings a message of love and friendship can do more than diplomats.”

O n August 6, Riccardo Muti conducted his first staged opera at the esteemed Salzburg Festival since 2011 and the

first production of Aida performed there in thirty-seven years. “A historic time for the world’s most important music festival after having liter-ally disappeared from its billboards, Aida returned to Salzburg with a dream team led by Muti at the podium with the Vienna Philharmonic,” wrote the Italian paper Il Messaggero the day after the opening performance. With its stellar cast, the new production was easily the most anticipated of the festival’s centenary season. All seven perfor-mances sold out months in advance, and several celebrities were in the audience on opening night, from Angela Merkel to Plácido Domingo.

This production was designed by the visual artist and Iranian exile Shirin Neshat. Muti was pleased with her timeless interpretation: “We worked together with a complete understanding,” he said in an interview. “It’s not the equestrian circus, it’s not a postcard of Aida,” he said, suggesting that if one were looking for a pastiche of pyramids and processions of elephants, one ought to look for a different production. Neshat’s design contained no exact locations or cultural references; rather abstract imagery and symbols suggested aspects of different religions and the shared plight of all refugees.

Writing for the Frankfurter Allgemeine, Jürgen Kesting observed, “When Riccardo Muti was offered the [Salzburg production] of Verdi’s ‘most beautiful opera’ (according to the composer Dieter Schnabel), he had set, coincidentally, one condition: no pyramids and no elephants on stage. Muti added, ‘We have to agree upon Aida being chamber music.’ It is due to the restraint of the direction that he can unfurl the

beauty of this score, from the prelude with its delicately layered violins to the romanticized tomb scene.”

Marie-Aude Roux in Le Monde also singled out Muti for praise: “Under the baton of the great Italian conductor, [the orchestra] was an army on the march, of which the roundness and beauty of sound, the shape and refinement of the line, blossom in nearly chamber-music-like sections, as well as in the most martial fanfares.”

For his part, Muti told Il Messaggero, “The triumph is mainly in music. The rest can only be filled by the deep moods of the characters—no pyramids are needed.” This quality was noted by John von Rhein of the Chicago Tribune, who wrote, “Muti brought an unusually intimate perspective to an opera that’s usually swamped in overblown, pseudo-Egyptian clichés. From the start, in the extraordinary delicacy he drew from the divided violins, you were made aware of how well such close attention to detail can illuminate the touching human drama that is Aida.”

The Austrian publication Kurier also com-mented on the production’s chamber-music sound, “[Muti] focused on the fine, hushed, unheroic, chamber-music facets in the work he once debuted at the Staatsoper and has not con-ducted in decades. This delicate, fragile Aida is brilliant in its details.”

Rubén Amón of El País concurred: “[Muti’s interpretation] was, indeed, a reading of control—a pure, essential Aida, devoid of all sen-sationalism. He did not even let the horses escape in the triumphal passages of the second act. Muti rejoiced in the work’s chiaroscuro [qualities].”

The all-star cast included soprano Anna Netrebko making her debut in the title role, tenor Francesco Meli as Radames, mezzo-soprano Ekaterina Semenchuk as Amneris, bass Roberto Tagliavini as the king of Egypt, and baritone Luca Salsi as Amonasro. Meli and Salsi are familiar to CSO audiences from performances

of Verdi’s Falstaff in 2016 (Salsi) and Macbeth in 2013 (Salsi and Meli). There was much anticipation for Netrebko’s debut. She had previ-ously worked with Muti in Puccini’s Manon Lescaut in 2014 at the Teatro dell’Opera of Rome and in recital at the Ravenna Festival in 2015.

For Die Presse, Wilhelm Sinkovicz observed, “Thanks to all singers meticulously having their sight on Riccardo Muti in such a manner that they truly do not miss even the smallest cue, the audience learns on that evening a great deal about Verdi’s popular opera. The members of the [Vienna Philharmonic] play under his direc-tion with an all-out commitment, thus adding authority to every single thirty-second note.”

Soon after the final performance on August 25, Muti returned to Italy to lead his opera academy (September 1–14) in Ravenna, where he tutored young conductors in the same Verdi masterpiece.

A bsolute bliss” were the words Helmut Christian Mayer of Vienna’s Kurier used to describe, “the Vienna Philharmonic

under Riccardo Muti, a celebrated combination at the Salzburg Festival that traditionally occurs only three times during the August holiday and is always sold out.” Including Tchaikovsky’s Fourth Symphony and Brahms’s Second Piano Concerto with pianist Yefim Bronfman, the program possessed all the qualities that cause these anticipated concerts, seen and heard by “six thousand pairs of eyes and ears in the Grand Festival Hall” (Wiener Zeitung), to be an annual favorite. “Noble restraint and tonal elegance, simultaneous with the expedient use of power, [and] the singing of the instru-ments—that is Muti’s sound world,” wrote Karlheinz Roschitz of Austria’s Kronen Zeitung. Sinkovicz of Die Presse praised Tchaikovsky’s Fourth Symphony at length, describing it as “an interpretation on the threshold of Olympus.”

NEGAUNEE MUSIC INSTITUTE AT THE CHICAGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

In H� m� y

CSO School and Family Concerts: In Harmony

During the 2017–18 season, under the banner of the theme In Harmony, the CSO’s School and Family Concerts explore music’s power to inspire and deepen our relationships with others and to impart a responsibility to care for our natural world.

“In our technologically driven, global society, we are simultaneously con-nected to and isolated from each other,” says Jon Weber, director of school and family programs.

“We have almost unlimited access to information right in the palm of our hand. We can use Skype to instantaneously connect with someone on the other side of the globe. But our lives have also become so busy, and we subscribe to social media channels that insulate us from perspectives diff erent from our own. Music is, in many ways, an antidote to these behaviors. It connects us to other people, places, and times. An orchestra demonstrates that remarkable things are possible when people set aside their diff erences to work together towards a common goal.”

Th e series includes six programs for children ages three through fourteen, including the popular Once Upon a Symphony for very young children as well as full orchestra performances for children ages fi ve and up. In these interactive concerts, members of the CSO perform master-works of the repertoire while guest conductors and guest artists provide narration and demon-strations that bring concepts to life.

Th e season’s fi rst Family Matinee program in early December, led by guest conductor Th omas Wilkins, includes music by Tchaikovsky, Coleridge-Taylor, and Ginastera, and emphasizes how music supports dialogue and friendship.

In March, Emily Graslie, chief curiosity correspondent at the Field Museum of

Natural History, cohosts a program that explores connections between classical music and the natural world. In May, Tania Miller leads Stravinsky’s Th e Firebird with guest dancers from the Joff rey

Academy and Studio Company.All of the CSO’s School and

Family Concerts include an array of preparatory resources:

digital parent’s and teacher’s guide, free classroom visits by trained docents, Kidsbook—a concert guide, and preconcert activities prior to the Saturday Family Matinee series concerts.

A select group of Chicago Public Schools partner with the Negaunee Music Institute for a year-long exploration of harmony through teacher workshops, interdisciplinary curriculum building, in-school performances, and a cul-minating event where students share original musical compositions inspired by their partner-ship with the CSO.

“We’re proud that the CSO can be a resource for children in Chicago,” says Weber. “We know they will be exhilarated by the Orchestra’s performance, and we hope that they will be inspired to bring more harmony to our city and our world.”

The Negaunee Music Institute is proud to make the unparalleled music making of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra accessible for thousands of young people in Chicago each year. To learn more, please visit cso.org/institute.

What does the sixtieth anniversary of the Chorus mean to you?The Chicago Symphony Chorus has lasted sixty years because it’s terrific, and it deserves to con-tinue as long as it possibly can. It’s a force of nature, really—a phenomenon of the music world and important to the city.

What inspires your love of the Chorus and choral music?The human voice is the greatest of all instruments. No other instrument has its range or unique capability to express emotion. Traditional instru-ments are at their best when they emulate that expression, when they’re played with the feeling of a human voice. It’s always amazing to hear the full Chorus perform. They create a single instrument, one voice out of many. Their flexibility is incredible and part of the wonder of the human voice.

Do you have a favorite type of choral music?For us, sacred choral music expresses a range of emotion not often found in other types of music. It comes at emotional times in life: death and birth and resurrection. Many operas showcase similar emotions too, but the intensity is communi-cated most powerfully when referencing those religious themes. The words become very

important in liturgical music, and the music emphasizes their emotional power.

What performances are you most looking forward to during the Chorus’s sixtieth anniversary?We’re Chicago Symphony Chorus fanatics—we like it all! We find ourselves most drawn to liturgical music, but we rel-ish all of the choral programs. The non-liturgical pieces are beautiful in their own right; they just tell a different kind of story. We’re really looking forward to Daphnis and Chloe. There’s a lightness about it, a joyfulness that is hard to beat. The Schubert Mass in E-flat major led by Riccardo Muti will be a great concert, and Rossini’s

Stabat mater will certainly be a highlight of the season. We’re glad to see the French sacred masterworks program start off the season in early October. It will introduce many fans of the Chorus to pieces they may not know well. It’s nice to attract people to new music and new musical ideas, different expres-sions of how composers have used the voice.

What are some of your early memories of the CSO?We began coming to the CSO together and got our first subscription when we saw an ad in the Tribune in the early 1960s for a series of concerts for people who didn’t know much about classical music. We really got to know each other accompanied

Jim and Kay Mabie have been involved with the CSO for more than thirty years. Jim was elected to the Board of Trustees in 1995, became a life trustee in 2007, has served as a past vice chair of the Board, and currently serves as the chairman of the Finance Committee. Kay joined the League of the CSO (the former Women’s Association) in 1999. Together, they chaired the CSO Opening Night Gala in 2001. They are thirty-one year subscribers and have sponsored appearances of the Chorus over the last two decades. In 2005, the Mabies received the Chorus America Philanthropic Award for their generous support and advocacy for the Chicago Symphony Chorus.

by classical music while going on dates to the symphony. We don’t remember what our first CSO concert together was, but this has been a joint venture all the way. Today, we watch the Chorus concerts on the main floor, but when the Chorus isn’t there, we sometimes sit in the terrace where they usually per-form. It’s always fascinating to watch the conductors from the terrace, and we love watching the percussion section.

What have been some of your favorite Chorus concerts?The season finale concert of 2017 was the biggest chorus we’ve ever seen. With the Chicago Symphony Chorus and the Chicago Children’s Choir, singers filled the entire terrace. We know it takes a lot to put on those concerts with full orchestra and chorus. It was a real blockbuster. Bach’s B minor mass in 2013 is also a favorite of ours. But really, picking a favorite is like asking to pick a favorite child. All the performances, all the repertoire, they touch us in

different ways, show different parts of the voice and its emo-tional potential. It’s all terrific.

How have you seen the Chorus grow and change over time?The longevity of Duain Wolfe has had an immense impact. You have the same skillful person making incremental improvements to the ensemble over time. We’ve really been able to see the Chorus grow under him. They trust him so much, and he trusts the musicians. Duain does a great job of preparing the Chorus for each conductor and each piece, each with its own style and demands. The Chorus can give every piece what it needs,

and satisfy every conductor that leads them.

What inspires your ongoing support of the Chicago Symphony Chorus?Singing is something everyone can do and has done, from the shower to the concert hall. It’s a universal art form of human expression that everyone can connect with. We support the Chorus so that the beauty of the sound may be maintained. The level of excellence is unique, and this excellence deeply impacts people. We enjoy it and want others to be able to do so. We hope others will follow in our footsteps to ensure its future success. It can’t just survive—it has to thrive!

After more than three years of planning, building, testing, and fi ne-tuning, Symphony Center—a $120 million project that included a facility expansion and extensive renovation of Orchestra Hall—opened its doors on October 4, 1997, with an opening night gala concert.

Led by acousticians Kirkegaard Asso ciates and architects Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, the project encompassed additions and improvements to Orchestra Hall, including raising the roof line for increased sound rever-beration, replacing plaster walls, decreasing the width and increasing the depth of the stage, adding an extensive riser system, replacing all seats and adding terrace seating behind the stage, installing an acoustic canopy (to improve onstage ensemble conditions and sound refl ection to the audience), and increasing patron amenity spaces. In addition, the project included new administra-tive offi ces in the for-mer Chapin & Gore building; Buntrock Hall, a multipur-pose rehearsal and performance space; renovation of a private club; and a multistory arcade and rotunda. Th e fol-lowing year brought the opening of a new restaurant and an education center.

Launching a three-week inau-gural festival, the October 4 gala con-cert was conducted by Daniel Barenboim and included excerpts from Verdi’s Otello with Soile Isokoski and Plácido Domingo, Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, Mozart’s

Piano Concerto no. 27 (with Barenboim con-ducting from the keyboard), Copland’s Lincoln Portrait with William Warfi eld, and Bruckner’s Te Deum with the Chicago Symphony Chorus. Midnight marked the beginning of the fi rst Day of Music: twenty-four hours of free, live

performances of music across all genres in multiple Symphony Center venues, attended by more than 20,000 people.

Sadly, the many celebrations were bittersweet. Music director laureate Sir Georg Solti—who, during the festival would have celebrated not only his eighty-fi fth birthday but

A series of profi les featuring current and past composers-in-residence in honor of twenty seasons of MusicNOW, the CSO’s contemporary music series

Describe your experience as composer-in-residence (CIR):I’ll never forget the fi rst time I heard a piece of mine come to life under the direction of Riccardo Muti. It was such an honor and incredibly thrilling . . . also a little bit nerve wracking. Th e fi ve years with the CSO allowed me to work very closely with the musi-cians, both in the context of orchestral and chamber music. It allowed me to hone my craft in a way that you don’t usually have access to as a composer.

While CIR, what did you enjoy about MusicNOW?Curating the MusicNOW series was an opportunity to

listen to a wide array of music: music written by composers in Chicago and internation-ally and from young to more established composers. It gave Mason Bates (also a former Mead Composer-In-Residence) and me the chance to fi nd pieces that we both loved and thematic threads to pull the programs together.

What is the importance of MusicNOW?It has remained part of the vibrant music scene of Chicago. Th e programming refl ects the diversity of music today. It’s an exciting time, with people collaborating among diff erent genres of music and with musi-cians with whom they might

not ordinarily work. Also, a lot of composers are collaborating with artists from other fi elds—choreographers, fi lmmakers, and artists. It’s a fertile time for contemporary music.

What did you enjoy about the MusicNOW series?One of the things that I enjoyed was the real sense of community. MusicNOW refl ects diversity in its audience also. It was always a pleasure to speak with diff erent members of the audience at the reception following each performance. MusicNOW remains exciting, fresh, and relevant to the city of Chicago.

COMMENTS by Phillip Huscher

Leonard BernsteinBorn August 25, 1918; Lawrence, MassachusettsDied October 14, 1990; New York City

Symphonic Suite from On the Waterfront

When the producer Sam Spiegel asked Bernstein to write music for a new film starring Marlon Brando, the composer declined. But after seeing the “rough cut” of the film, his misgivings were “drowned in the surge of excitement I felt,”

and he reconsidered. “I heard music as I watched; that was enough. And the atmosphere of talent that this film gave off was exactly the atmosphere in which I love to work and collaborate.” Bernstein took a leave of absence from Brandeis University, where he was teaching at the time, and moved to Hollywood in February 1954, to begin his contribution to On the Waterfront.

Writing movie music turned out to be unex-pectedly challenging. “The very nature of film music is fragmentary, almost by definition,” Bernstein later commented. “The opportuni-ties for long, developed musical sequences are few. . . . I decided to write the score, hoping to compensate for the necessarily fragmentary quality of the music by strong thematic inte-gration.” At first work went well, even though the process was new to him. Day after day

he sat at a Movieola, running the print back and forth, “measuring in feet the sequences I had chosen for the music, converting feet into seconds by mathematical formula, making homemade cue sheets.” By his own calculations, he watched the film some fifty times—weeping, he claimed, every time.

But Hollywood was not Broadway, and as Bernstein quickly learned, film music was not held in the same esteem as a musical. By the end of May, Bernstein was so frustrated he wrote an article for the New York Times: “It is a musically unsatisfactory experience for a composer to write a score whose chief merit ought to be its unob-trusiveness,” he claimed.

It has often been said that the best dramatic background music for a motion picture is that which is not heard. . . . I had become so involved in each detail of the score that it seemed to me the most important part of the picture. I had to keep reminding myself that it really is the least important part, that a spoken line covered by music is a lost line.

It pained Bernstein to witness the cavalier way his music was treated, and he agonized each time a measure of the score was cut. “And so

the composer sits by, protesting as he can, but ultimately accepting, be it with a heavy heart, the inevitable loss of a good part of the score. Everyone tries to comfort him. ‘You can always use it in a suite.’ Cold comfort.”

But that turned out to be just the solution. The following year, Bernstein fashioned a symphonic suite from all the bits and pieces of his On the Waterfront music, salvaging many segments that were cut from the film. He made no attempt to retell the movie’s story or follow its sequence—although the suite does open with the same haunting horn solo that plays under the titles and concludes with the searing trumpet cries that close the film. Music written to portray the tale

of a young longshoreman, and to depict sunrise over the Hudson River, the squalor of a Hoboken dockyard, or savage fighting on the piers, now becomes a more universal portrait of the com-plexity of urban life.

At the 1955 Academy Awards ceremony, On the Waterfront won eight Oscars, including Best Picture, but the award for Best Musical Score went to Dmitri Tiomkin for The High and the Mighty. Although Bernstein claimed he loved working in the movies—“I find I actually like it here—for the very reasons Hollywood is usually attacked: namely, that there is nothing to do but see people”—and was asked to return many times, he never wrote another film score.

In 1939, Samuel Barber accepted a commission from Samuel Fels, a Philadelphia businessman (and the manufacturer of Fels-Naptha soap), who wanted a violin concerto for his adopted son, Iso Briselli, a child prodigy. Briselli was born in

Odessa—the birthplace of so many violinists, including David and Igor Oistrakh as well as Nathan Milstein—and he and Barber were members of the first class to graduate from the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1934. Fels offered Barber $1,000—$500 up front, $500 on completion of the score. For a composer at the beginning of his career, it was without doubt a good deal. Or so it seemed at the time.

Barber wrote the first two movements that summer in Switzerland and gave them to Briselli in mid-October. Briselli suggested that Barber should make the finale more virtuosic for the solo violin. There are conflicting accounts of what happened next. According to the version that was repeated in program notes for years, and has since been proven false, Barber wrote a dazzling perpetuum mobile finale, which Briselli declared too difficult; Fels then asked for his money back, and Barber set up a performance to demon-strate that the movement was not impossible to

play—and that he needn’t repay the $500, which was already long spent. But in 1982, Briselli, who was by now running the Fels business, told his version of the story to Barbara Heyman, then at work on her definitive Barber biography. Briselli claimed that he had simply informed Barber that he feared the finale was “too lightweight” compared to the first two movements, and that it seemed out of place and oddly inconclusive. Briselli wanted Barber to revise it; Barber refused. They reached an impasse.

A demonstration was set up at the Curtis Institute (where, not incidentally, Fels’s wife Jennie served on the board of trustees) in the fall of 1939, but it was designed simply to prove that Barber’s writing was idiomatic and play-able. Herbert Baumel, a gifted Curtis student, learned the finale from Barber’s manuscript in just two hours and played it in the studio of Josef Hofmann, the distinguished Curtis director, before a “ jury” that included Mary Louise Curtis Bok, the founder of the Curtis Institute, along with Barber and his partner Gian Carlo Menotti. According to Heyman, all parties immediately agreed “that Barber was to be paid the full commission and Briselli had to relin-quish his right to the first performance.” (Briselli was not present.) At this point, Barber took to calling it his concerto da sapone, or soap concerto, although it was becoming more of a soap opera. The honor of introducing this now-beloved

concerto fell to Albert Spalding, a violinist whose name has a secure place in the history of American music as a result. Eugene Ormandy conducted the premiere, with the Philadelphia Orchestra, in 1941.

W hat regularly gets lost in the story of this concerto’s difficult genesis is the music itself, as direct and persuasive

as anything Barber wrote. The concerto opens with one of Barber’s most inspired ideas, a warm and expansive theme stated at once by the solo violin. The entire Allegro is like a grand,

reflective aria (even in much of his instrumental music, Barber is often a “vocal” composer) with intermittent dramatic episodes, but one in which unabashedly romantic, tonal melody reigns. The Andante, in the elegiac vein of the Adagio for Strings, opens with a poignant oboe solo, which the violin ultimately cannot resist. (In 1948, Barber changed the tempo marking of the first movement from Allegro molto moderato to a less relaxed Allegro, so that the concerto would not appear to open with two slow movements.) The controversial finale is neither particularly lightweight nor unplayable, although its bril-liance is not of the more predictably heroic, fireworks variety.

Two footnotes. Herbert Baumel, the young Curtis student whose playing “testified” on Barber’s behalf, substituted for Spalding at the first rehearsal for the premiere and so impressed Ormandy that he was offered a permanent position in the Philadelphia Orchestra.

When Mary Louise Curtis Bok commissioned Barber to write a work for the dedication of the new organ at the Philadelphia Academy of Music in 1960, he refused to accept the fee (reportedly $2,000) because of his longtime gratitude to her, and his admiration for her motto: “for quality of the work rather than quick, showy results.”

Symphonic Dances, Op. 45

Gian Carlo Menotti and Samuel Barber, ca. 1936

After finishing his Third Symphony in 1936, Rachmaninov quit composing, dis- couraged by the luke- warm reception several of his recent scores had met. (Only the Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini had been

well received; both the Fourth Piano Concerto and the Variations on a Theme

by Corelli were public failures, and the Third Symphony was only a modest success). Rachmaninov was tired of trying to juggle his careers as a composer, conductor, and pianist—and in recent years it seemed that he was only guaranteed success in his role as pianist (he was, after all, one of the greatest of all time). Perhaps he also had grown weary of having his music dismissed as old- fashioned and irrelevant—invariably pitted against the radical work of Stravinsky and Schoenberg, the two giants of the day.

With the outbreak of war in 1939, Rachmaninov and his wife Natalya left Europe for the last time and settled in Orchard Point, an estate he had rented on Long Island, near his friends Vladimir and Wanda Horowitz; his former secretary, Evgeny Somov; and choreographer Michel Fokine, who recently had made a popular ballet of the Paganini Variations. Throughout the summer of 1940, Rachmaninov was busy preparing for his upcoming concert tour—he regularly practiced every day from early morning until eleven at night—and, for the first time in years, he found that he couldn’t resist the urge to compose. On August 21, he wrote to Eugene Ormandy, who had conducted some of Rachmaninov’s greatest suc-cesses with the Philadelphia Orchestra, “Last week I fin-ished a new symphonic piece, which I naturally want to give first to you and your orchestra. It is called Fantastic Dances. I shall now begin the orchestra-tion.” Even with his impend-ing tour, Rachmaninov managed to complete the scoring that October. By then, the dances had become symphonic rather than fantastic, and he also had given up his original idea to identify the three movements as midday, twilight, and mid-night. (“It should have been called just Dances,” he told a newspaper reporter, “but I was afraid

people would think I had written dance music for jazz orchestra.”)

Before Ormandy even had a chance to see the score, Rachmaninov played through parts of it at the piano for Fokine, hoping that he would want to collaborate on another ballet—this was a set of dances, after all—and repeat the inter-

national success of their Paganini project. Fokine was enthusiastic—“it seemed to me appropriate and beautiful,” he wrote to Rachmaninov, after hearing the music—but his death, in August 1942, robbed the composer of both a friend and another hit ballet.

The Philadelphia premiere was well received, but a subsequent perfor-mance in New York was panned. Rachmaninov was hurt that Ormandy didn’t appear interested in recording the new work, even though he had made best-selling recordings of practically all his previous orchestral

pieces. The Symphonic Dances turned out to be his last score, and Rachmaninov died believing that it would never find the kind of popularity his earlier music had so easily won. (Although Rachmaninov had spent long periods of time in the United States since 1918, the Symphonic Dances is the only score he composed in this

country—earlier, he regularly wrote, on breaks from concert tours, in his villa near Lucerne.) But in recent years, the score has become a favorite of orchestras and audiences alike—Rachmaninov’s star is once again on the rise.

T he first dance has an extended solo for saxo-phone, an instrument for

which Rachmaninov had never before written. (He consulted with his friend, the Broadway orches-trator Robert Russell Bennett, who was amazed that, when the com-poser played the score for him, “he sang, whistled, stamped, rolled his chords, and otherwise conducted himself not as one would expect of so great and impeccable a piano virtuoso.”) He also got advice on string bowings from no less an artist than Fritz Kreisler. (At the first rehearsal, when Ormandy remarked on their difficulty, Rachmaninov said, “Fritz did those for me,” knowing he need say no more.) In the coda of the first dance, Rachmaninov privately quotes the opening theme of his First Symphony, which was the greatest failure of his career (after its disastrous premiere in 1897, Rachmaninov wrote nothing for three years). Rachmaninov knew that only he would catch the reference, because he had long since destroyed the score, hoping to erase painful memories along with the music itself. But shortly after his death a copy of a two-piano arrange-ment, and then a set of orchestra parts, turned up in Leningrad, bringing Rachmaninov’s secret quotation to light.

The second movement is a melancholy waltz (in 6/8 time) that only turns more anxious and wistful as it progresses. The finale quotes the chant of the Russian Orthodox liturgy as well as the Gregorian melody of the Dies irae from the Mass for the Dead. It also recycles part of his All-Night Vigil, an a cappella choral work dating from 1915, but this is no secret quotation, for Rachmaninov writes the original text, “Alliluya,” in the score at that point. Perhaps guessing that this would be his final work—“It must have been my last spark,” he said at the time—Rachmaninov wrote at the end of his manu-script, “I thank thee, Lord.”

Now celebrating its 127th season, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra is consistently hailed as one of the world’s leading orchestras. In September 2010, renowned Italian conductor Riccardo Muti became its tenth music director. His vision for the Orchestra—to deepen its engagement with the Chicago community, to nurture its legacy while supporting a new generation of musicians, and to collaborate with visionary artists—signals a new era for the institution.

The Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s distin-guished history began in 1889, when Theodore Thomas, then the leading conductor in America and a recognized music pioneer, was invited by Chicago businessman Charles Norman Fay to establish a symphony orchestra here. Thomas’s aim to establish a permanent orchestra with performance capabilities of the highest quality was realized at the first concerts in October 1891. Thomas served as music director until his death in 1905—just three weeks after the dedication of Orchestra Hall, the Orchestra’s permanent home designed by Daniel Burnham.

Frederick Stock, recruited by Thomas to the viola section in 1895, became assistant conductor in 1899, and succeeded the Orchestra’s founder. His tenure lasted thirty-seven years, from 1905 to 1942—the longest of the Orchestra’s music direc-tors. Dynamic and innovative, the Stock years saw the founding of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, the first training orchestra in the United States affiliated with a major symphony orchestra, in 1919. He also established youth auditions, orga-nized the first subscription concerts especially for children, and began a series of popular concerts.

Three distinguished conductors headed the Orchestra during the following decade: Désiré Defauw was music director from 1943 to 1947; Artur Rodzinski assumed the post in 1947–48; and Rafael Kubelík led the ensemble for three seasons from 1950 to 1953. The next ten years belonged to Fritz Reiner, whose recordings with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra are still considered performance hallmarks. It was Reiner who invited Margaret Hillis to form the Chicago Symphony Chorus in 1957. For the five seasons from 1963 to 1968, Jean Martinon held the position of music director.

Sir Georg Solti, the Orchestra’s eighth music director, served from 1969 until 1991. He then held the title of music director laureate and returned to conduct the Orchestra for several

weeks each season until his death in September 1997. Solti’s arrival launched one of the most successful musical partnerships of our time, and the CSO made its first overseas tour to Europe in 1971 under his direction, along with numerous award-winning recordings.

Daniel Barenboim was named music director designate in January 1989, and he became the Orchestra’s ninth music director in September 1991, a position he held until June 2006. His tenure was distinguished by the opening of Symphony Center in 1997, highly praised oper-atic productions at Orchestra Hall, numerous appearances with the Orchestra in the dual role of pianist and conductor, twenty-one interna-tional tours, and the appointment of Duain Wolfe as the Chorus’s second director.

From 2006 to 2010, Bernard Haitink held the post of principal conductor, the first in CSO his-tory. Pierre Boulez’s long-standing relationship with the CSO led to his appointment as principal guest conductor in 1995. He was named Helen Regenstein Conductor Emeritus in 2006, a position he held until his death in January 2016. Only two others have served as principal guest conductors: Carlo Maria Giulini, who began to appear in Chicago regularly in the late 1950s, was named to the post in 1969, serving until 1972. Claudio Abbado held the position from 1982 to 1985.

In January 2010, Yo-Yo Ma was appointed the CSO’s Judson and Joyce Green Creative Consultant by Riccardo Muti. In this role, he partners with Muti, staff, and musicians to provide program development for the Negaunee Music Institute at the CSO.

Mead Composers-in-Residence Samuel Adams and Elizabeth Ogonek were appointed by Riccardo Muti and began their three-year terms in the fall of 2015. In addition to composing, they curate the contemporary MusicNOW series.

Since 1916, recording has been a significant part of the Orchestra’s activities. Current releases on CSO Resound, the Orchestra’s indepen-dent recording label, include the Grammy Award–winning release of Verdi’s Requiem led by Riccardo Muti. Recordings by the CSO have earned sixty-two Grammy awards from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.

FOUNDATION Spotlight

Polska Music Program of the Adam Mickiewicz Institute

The Polska Music program actively supports performances of Polish classical music by renowned international artists worldwide, aiming to increase its popularity across the globe. During the 2017–18 season, Polska Music has generously supported the CSO’s performances of The Awakening of Jacob by renowned Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki.

In addition to initiating international stage productions and concerts, commissioning new work, and nurturing contem-porary composers, Polska Music also promotes recordings, books, and events. Polska Music has collaborated with a host of high-profile partners around the world, including the Baltimore, London, and BBC symphony orchestras, the London and Los Angeles philharmonics, Berliner Philharmoniker, Chandos Records, Cité de la Musique–Philharmonie de Paris, Lincoln Center Festival, Lyric Opera of Chicago, Münchener Kammerorchester, and the Philharmonia Orchestra.

The Polska Music program was launched in 2011 by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute —a national cultural institution aiming to strengthen Polish cultural impact and to benefit international cultural exchange. From 2017 until 2021, the institute will coordinate the international cultural program accompanying Poland’s centenary of regaining independence—POLSKA 100. The program will include the very best of Polish culture with more than a hundred cultural projects ranging from film productions to exhibitions, theater, and music performances.
