Perspectives from the Executive Director
7Severance Hall 2012-13
Autumn 2012
Welcome to the new season — Franz Welser-Möst’s eleventh year
as music director. The months ahead promise exciting music and
creative innovation, alongside our continuing dedication to artistic
excellence and community service.
The Cleveland Orchestra and Franz have just returned from this
summer’s European Festivals tour. Once again, their performances
were lauded and applauded from Scotland to Salzburg and from Lucerne to Linz.
Many music critics, in the midst of praising the Orchestra’s overall artistry, focused on
the extraordinary string section — including this quote from Südwest Presse: “This
string section can clearly do anything perfectly, and Welser-Möst was able to demon-
strate that fact with brio.” Additional excerpts of reviews from the European Festivals
tour can be found on page 25 of this program book.
The Cleveland Orchestra is devoted to nourishing hearts and minds — through musi-
cal performances and education programs. We are devoted to economic vitality — as
Ohio’s most visible international ambassador, proudly carrying the name of our great
city everywhere we go. And we are devoted to community service. The Orchestra is
in the midst of a renaissance of spirit, as we commit ourselves to being ever more rel-
evant to our hometown in a modern and changing world.
Over the summer, we announced a series of new and innovative programs for the com-
ing season. These include the Orchestra’s fi rst fully staged performances of Tchaikovsky’s
The Nutcracker, presented with The Joff rey Ballet the week after Thanksgiving at Playhouse-
Square. We’re also continuing our return to the public schools, with a fourth year of per-
formances at area high schools. And we’re introducing the expansion of “Under 18s Free”
to select concert series here at Severance Hall. Next spring, we continue our collaborative
partnership performing at the Cleveland Museum of Art, and we launch the Orchestra’s
fi rst Neighborhood Residency in Cleveland’s Gordon Square Arts District. Details of these
and other programs can be found beginning on page 26 of this program book.
We owe a debt of gratitude to the generous donors and sponsors who are funding
these new activities alongside our core programming. And we invite you, our loyal
friends, to consider your own investment in the continuation of these initiatives. Please
be counted among the many who ensure the success of this great orchestra, through
your participation and fi nancial support.
P.S.
Included in this fall’s elections is an operating levy for the Cleveland Metropolitan
School District. Promoted as the “Right Plan, Right Now,” the success of this funding
initiative for education will make a critical diff erence for Northeast Ohio’s future —
and I urge everyone to learn more, to volunteer, and to support the campaign
by visiting www.rightplanrightnow.com.

Th e Cleveland Orchestra was founded in 1918 by a group of local citizens in-
tent on creating an ensemble worthy of joining America’s ranks of major sympho-
ny orchestras. Over the ensuing decades, the Orchestra quickly grew from a fi ne
regional organization to being one of the most admired symphony orchestras in
the world. Th e opening in 1931 of Severance Hall as the Orchestra’s home brought
a special pride to the ensemble and its hometown, as well as providing an enviable
and intimate acoustic environment in which to develop and refi ne the Orchestra’s
artistry. Year-round performances became a reality in 1968 with the opening of
Blossom Music Center, one of the most beautiful and acoustically admired outdoor
concert facilities in the United States.

Franz Welser-Möst Music Director Kelvin Smith Family Endowed Chair The Cleveland Orchestra
T H E 2 01 2 -1 3 S E A S O N marks Franz Welser-Möst’s
eleventh year as music director of Th e Cleveland
Orchestra, with a long-term commitment extend-
ing to the Orchestra’s centennial in 2018. Under his
direction, the Orchestra is acclaimed for its continu-
ing artistic excellence, is enlarging and enhancing its
community programming at home, is presented in a
series of ongoing residencies in the United States and
Europe, continues its historic championship of new
composers through commissions and premieres, and
has re-established itself as an important operatic en-
semble. Concurrently with his post in Cleveland, Mr. Welser-Möst became
general music director of the Vienna State Opera in September 2010.
With a committed focus on music education in Northeast Ohio, Franz
Welser-Möst has taken Th e Cleveland Orchestra back into public schools with
performances in collaboration with the Cleveland Metropolitan School District.
Th e initiative continues and expands upon Mr. Welser-Möst’s active participation
in community concerts and educational programs, including the Cleveland Orches-
tra Youth Orchestra and partnerships with music conservatories and universities
across Northeast Ohio.
Under Mr. Welser-Möst’s leadership, Th e Cleveland Orchestra has established
an ongoing biennial residency in Vienna at the famed Musikverein concert hall and
another at Switzerland’s Lucerne Festival. Together, they have appeared in residence
at Suntory Hall in Tokyo, Japan, and at the Salzburg Festival, where a 2008 residency
included fi ve sold-out performances of a staged production of Dvořák’s opera Rusalka.
In the United States, Mr. Welser-Möst has established an annual multi-week Cleveland
Orch estra residency in Florida under the name Cleveland Orchestra Miami and, in
2011, launched a new biennial residency at New York’s Lincoln Center Festival.
To the start of this season, Th e Cleveland Orchestra has performed fourteen
world and fi ft een United States premieres under Franz Welser-Möst’s direction.
Th rough the Roche Commissions project, he and the Orchestra have premiered
works by Harrison Birtwistle, Chen Yi, Hanspeter Kyburz, George Benjamin,
Toshio Hosokawa, and Matthias Pintscher in partnership with the Lucerne Festi-
val and Carnegie Hall. In addition, the Daniel R. Lewis Young Composer Fellow
program has brought new voices to the repertoire, including Pintscher, Marc-An-
dré Dalbavie, Susan Botti, Julian Anderson, Johannes Maria Staud, Jörg Widmann,
and Sean Shepherd.
Franz Welser-Möst has led a series of opera performances during his tenure

Music Director
in Cleveland, re-establishing the Orchestra as an important oper-
atic ensemble. Following six seasons of opera-in-concert presen-
tations, he brought fully staged opera back to Severance Hall with
a three-season cycle of Zurich Opera productions of the Mozart-
Da Ponte operas. He led concert performances of Strauss’s Sa-
lome at Severance Hall and at Carnegie Hall in May 2012.
Franz Welser-Möst became general music director of the
Vienna State Opera in 2010. His long partnership with the com-
pany has included acclaimed performances of Tristan and Isolde,
a new production of Wagner’s Ring cycle with stage director Sven-
Eric Bechtolf, and critically praised new productions of Hin-
demith’s Cardillac and Janáček’s Katya Kabanova and From the
House of the Dead. During the 2012-13 season, his Vienna performances include
Wagner’s Parsifal, Strauss’s Arabella and Ariadne auf Naxos, Puccini’s La Bohème,
and Berg’s Wozzeck.
Mr. Welser-Möst also maintains an ongoing relationship with the Vienna Phil-
harmonic. Recent performances with the Philharmonic include appearances at the
Lucerne Festival and Salzburg Festival, in Tokyo, and in concert at La Scala Milan,
as well as leading the Philharmonic’s 2011 New Year’s Day concert, viewed by telecast
in seventy countries worldwide; he will conduct the New Year’s Day concert again in
2013 and will also lead the Philharmonic in a series of concerts at New York’s Carne-
gie Hall in March 2013. Across a decade-long tenure with the Zurich Opera, culmi-
nating in three seasons as general music director (2005-08), Mr. Welser-Möst led the
company in more than 40 new productions and numerous revivals.
Franz Welser-Möst’s recordings and videos have won major awards, including
the Gramophone Award, Diapason d’Or, Japanese Record Academy Award, and
two Grammy nominations. With Th e Cleveland Orchestra, he has created DVD
recordings of live performances of Bruckner symphonies, presented in three ac-
coustically distinctive venues (the Abbey of St. Florian in Austria, Vienna’s Musik-
verein, and Severance Hall). With Cleveland, he has also released a recording of
Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony as well as an all-Wagner album featuring soprano
Measha Brueggergosman. DVD releases on the EMI label have included Mr. Wels-
er-Möst leading Zurich Opera productions of Th e Marriage of Figaro, Così fan tutte,
Don Giovanni, Der Rosenkavalier, Fierrabras, and Peter Grimes.
For his talents and dedication, Mr. Welser-Möst has received honors that
include recognition from the Western Law Center for Disability Rights, honor-
ary membership in the Vienna Singverein, appointment as an Academician of the
European Academy of Yuste, a Gold Medal from the Upper Austrian government
for his work as a cultural ambassador, a Decoration of Honor from the Republic of
Austria for his artistic achievements, and the Kilenyi Medal from the Bruckner So-
ciety of America. He is the co-author of Cadences: Observations and Conversations,
published in a German edition in 2007.

2012 European Festivals Tour draws praise for Welser-Möst and Cleveland Orchestra The following are excerpted from press reviews of the Orchestra’s performances
during its European Festivals Tour August 18 to September 3:
“If the strings are the heart and soul of the symphony orchestra, then The Cleve-
land Orchestra is essentially in terrifi c shape. . . . It was the full-bodied attack of
the strings in the gutsy opening bars, and their brilliantly delicate and muted
virtuosity in the second movement, that were the icing on the cake.”
—The Scotsman, August 22, 2012
“The Cleveland Orchestra is often described as the aristocrat among American
orchestras. If ‘aristocratic’ means spellbinding fi nesse in sound and style, then their fi rst Ed-
inburgh Festival concert certainly came up trumps. . . . The music we heard gave a lot of pleasure,
largely because it was shrewdly chosen to show off the Clevelanders’ fabulous sheen and warmth.
—Telegraph, August 22, 2012
“In this one heard a courageous Bruckner, unafraid of dissonances, magnifi cently brought alive
by Franz Welser-Möst and his Cleveland Orchestra.”
—Deutschland Radio, August 25, 2012
“Representing the ruins of a demolished tower of concrete and lead, Matthias
Pintscher orchestrates a catastrophic destruction in his Chute d’Étoiles (‘Falling
Stars’). Metallic explosions of sound run into the calm of a post-apocalyptic ‘sea of
lead,’ and it is left to two solo trumpets to drive this cycle of destruction and new
creation forward. . . . Michael Sachs and Jack Sutte performed with great verve
and in a mirage-like whisper, using idioms not far removed from free jazz; they
gradually soar to a state of golden splendor.”
—Die Südotschweiz, August 27, 2012
“The host of strings (eight double basses, an unusual complement of twelve violas
seated on the conductor’s right, etc.) was amazing — a sound mass with a lot of
fi ghting power. . . . This string section can clearly do anything perfectly, and Welser-
Möst was able to demonstrate that fact with brio.”
—Südwest Presse, August 29, 2012
“[In Smetana’s Má Vlast] Welser-Möst had the harpist touch the strings with great subtlety, and
the wiry immediacy of the strings (with William Preucil as concertmaster) was striking.”
—Stuttgart Nachrichten, August 29, 2012
“[In Smetana’s The Moldau] the coloring was precise, almost pointillistic, the tempo fl owing and
animated, with furious explosive power and dramatic brio in the passage of the cataracts, and with
silky sparkle in the violins for the scene of the mermaids in the silvery moonlight. The conductor
thoroughly cleansed this earworm from all the patina of spa concerts. The familiar sounded excit-
ingly new — this was defi nitely worth listening to carefully.”
—Esslinger Zeitung, August 29, 2012

In the 2012-13 season, The Cleveland Or-
chestra continues its innovations in program-
ming and community engagement, seeking to
build on the success of recent initiatives. The
coming season’s innovations include new pro-
gram and audience development activities at
Severance Hall, alongside expanded activities
outside the concert hall.
The Orchestra will venture even farther
outside its University Circle home with new
programs downtown and on Cleveland’s West
Side. At PlayhouseSquare, the Orchestra will col-
laborate with The Joff rey Ballet, while the orga-
nization’s ground-breaking residency program,
developed and refi ned by the Orchestra in cities
including Vienna and Miami, will come home
to Northeast Ohio with the launch of a new
program of Neighborhood Residencies. The
fi rst annual Cleveland Orchestra Neighborhood
Residency will take place in Gordon Square the
week of May 13-19, 2013. Also this season, the ini-
tiative that brought the full Orchestra back into
the schools in 2009 will continue and become a
permanent part of the annual schedule thanks
to a newly-created endowment fund, and a new
partnership with Breakthrough Charter Schools
begins in October 2012.
Meanwhile, “Under 18s Free,” a program
fi rst established for the 2011 Blossom Festival,
will come inside Severance Hall for selected
concerts, and as the unique Fridays@7 Series
enters its fourth season, a bold repertoire move
sees world music migrating from the @fter-party
entertainment to the main-stage concert with
the Orchestra. The KeyBank Fridays@7 series
opened on October 5 featuring the music of
Stewart Copeland, founder and drummer of The
Police, and a collaboration with the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame & Museum.
In announcing the new initiatives in Au-
gust, Gary Hanson, executive director of The
Cleveland Orchestra, said, “We want to build on
the success of our many recent community en-
gagement initiatives, and in the coming season
we are further diversifying our schedule and
programs. Our goal is to be even more relevant
to our community.”
CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENCY
The Cleveland Orchestra Neighborhood
Residency is a new program to immerse the
Orchestra in local communities with an intense
schedule of performances and activities. The
fi rst of these annual residencies in Northeast Ohio
takes place the week of May 13-19, 2013, in Gor-
don Square. The centerpieces of the Residency
will be free Cleveland Orchestra concerts at St.
Colman Church for neighborhood residents and
students, and musicians will perform as soloists
and in ensembles in non-traditional locations and
in local schools. The Cleveland Orchestra Neigh-
borhood Residency at Gordon Square is funded
in part by the Machaskee Fund for Community
Programming, an endowed fund created by Alex
and Carol Machaskee.
Sean Watterson, co-owner of the Happy Dog
bar, restaurant, and music venue in Gordon Square,
said, “We’re incredibly enthusiastic about the Or-
chestra coming to Gordon Square. We’re thrilled
that people in our community will be able to expe-
rience their world-class performances at a series of
events for all ages throughout the neighborhood.
We’re proud to welcome the world to Gordon
Square to join us for this unique experience.”
HIGH SCHOOL PERFORMANCES PERMANENTLY ENDOWED
The Cleveland Orchestra returned to per-
forming in Cleveland high schools in 2009, after
an absence of more than three decades. On
Thursday, October 11, 2012, the Orchestra’s per-
formance at Shaker Heights High School is the
fi rst to be supported by a newly established fund
that permanently endows annual Cleveland Or-
chestra performances in area high schools. The
Alfred Lerner In-School Performance Fund, a gift
of $1 million from Mrs. Norma Lerner and The
Lerner Foundation, will support concerts in high
schools in perpetuity. Performances are being

NEW PARTNERSHIP WITH BREAKTHROUGH CHARTER SCHOOLS
The Cleveland Orchestra begins an educa-
tional partnership with Breakthrough Charter
Schools in October 2012. All of the students
from participating schools will attend a Cleve-
land Orchestra concert at Severance Hall, and
their teachers will participate in professional de-
velopment workshops and concert preparation.
The Orchestra’s award-winning Learning Through
Music program includes ongoing visits from
Cleveland Orchestra musicians in the schools.
The pilot partnership will eventually expand to
incorporate all nine Breakthrough Schools.
The Cleveland Orchestra partnership with
Breakthrough Schools is funded in part by
Cliff s Natural Resources. Breakthrough Charter
Schools are a nationally-recognized network of
high-performing, free, public charter schools
operating in partnership with the Cleveland
Metropolitan School District.
“UNDER 18s FREE” EXPANDSFROM BLOSSOM TO SEVERANCE HALL
The Cleveland Orchestra’s “Under 18s Free”

23,000 young people have attended Cleveland
Orchestra concerts. “Under 18s Free” at Sever-
ance Hall tickets are available for all KeyBank
Fridays@7 concerts, as well as for the Orchestra’s
two regular matinee series: Friday Mornings at

with paid adult admis-
sions. “Under 18s Free”
tickets are available by

Hall Ticket Offi ce.
“Under 18s Free” is
supported in part by The
Cleveland Orchestra’s
Center for Future Audi-
ences. The Center, created

gift from the Maltz Family
Foundation, was estab-
lished to fund programs to
develop new generations
of audiences for Cleveland

Channel 25 WVIZ/PBS ideastream® will
broadcast the world premiere of The Cleveland
Orchestra in Performance: Bruckner Symphony
No. 4 on Monday evening, October 29, begin-
ning at 9:00 pm. Conducted by Franz Welser-
Möst, the performance was filmed earlier this
year at the beautiful 17th-century baroque
Abbey of St. Florian in Austria. Emmy Award-
winner Brian Large directed the video record-
ing. This is the first video produced of the
recent critical edition of the 1888 version of
Bruckner’s Fourth Symphony, edited by Ben-
jamin Korstvedt and published in the Bruckner
Collected Works edition (Vienna, 2004).
Nicknamed “Romantic” by Bruckner him-
self, the Fourth Symphony is Bruckner’s most
popular and most-performed work. Composer
Anton Bruckner was a choirboy at the monastery
of St. Florian, and later served as organist there.
Although he moved to Vienna, he chose to be
buried in a crypt below the Abbey of St. Florian.
Internationally recognized for his presen-
tation and interpretation of Bruckner’s sym-
phonies, Cleveland Orchestra Music Director
Franz Welser-Möst has conducted Bruckner
symphonies with The Cleveland Orchestra at
Severance Hall in Cleveland, the Musikverein
in Vienna, Suntory Hall in Japan, Seoul Arts
Center in South Korea, Lincoln Center in New
York, and the Abbey of St. Florian in Austria.
This recording of Bruckner’s Symphony No.
4, which is the fifth in a series of recordings
that includes Bruckner Symphonies Nos. 5,
7, 8, and 9, will be released commercially by
Clasart. These Cleveland Orchestra recordings
were made possible in part with support from
Raiffeisenlandesbank Oberösterreich and Tele
München Group for electronic media projects.

New album with ClevelandOrchestra and Mitsuko Uchida
is now available . . .
The third of Mitsuko Uchida’s albums of
Mozart concertos with The Cleveland Orches-
tra has been released — and is now avail-
able for purchase at the Cleveland Orchestra
Store at Severance Hall. The album features
Piano Concertos Nos. 9 and 21,
recorded in live performances at
Severance Hall. One of the previ-
ous discs from this collaboration
received a Grammy Award in
2011.
Reviews of this new album
include these comments from
Audiophile Audition: “Conducting
Mozart concertos from the piano
has a long and honored tradition,
originating with the composer himself. . . .
Uchida performs on a new Hamburg Steinway
whose action remains uniformly light and
resonant, especially as Uchida does not mince
her dynamics. . . . We need only audition this
fine collaboration to enjoy the scintillating
energy of the outer movements [of Concerto
No. 9] and the internal rigors of the Andan-
tino. The last movement virtually bubbles
with infectious wit and digital confidence.
. . . [In Concerto No. 21] the give-and-take
response between Uchida and The Cleve-
land strings and winds attractively beguiles
us. Then, her seamless runs and arpeggios
move inexorably to a bravura cadenza almost
early Beethoven in
its briefly pearly wit
that rushes to a coda
spread over three
octaves. Superb!”
Comings and goings
As a courtesy to the performers
on stage and the entire audience, late-
arriving patrons cannot be seated until the
first break in the musical program.

Cleveland Orchestra’s Distinguished Service Award presented to Maltzes
The Cleveland Orch-
estra’s seventeeth an-
nual Distinguished Service
Award was presented to
Milton and Tamar Maltz at
the start of the Orchestra
concert on October 6. The
award, created in 1996,
honors a person or organi-
zation that has provided continuing exemplary
service to the Musical Arts Association, the
non-profi t parent organization that operates
The Cleveland Orchestra, Severance Hall, and
Blossom Festival.
The Maltzes have demonstrated exception-
al and continuous dedication to The Cleveland
Orchestra and the arts community in Northeast
Ohio across four decades. They have been
generous contributors to the Orchestra’s Annual
Fund and to special projects such as, in 2000,
the internationally acclaimed renovation of Sev-
erance Hall. In 2010, their visionary leadership
helped launch The Cleveland Orchestra’s Center
for Future Audiences, which was generously
endowed with a lead gift of $20 million from the
Maltz Family Foundation. The Center was estab-
lished to create and fund programs to develop
new generations of audiences for Cleveland
Orchestra concerts in Northeast Ohio.
The complete award citation can be read
on page 65 of this book.
Family Concert series begins on October 28 with Spooktacular III
The Cleveland Orchestra’s sea-
son of Family Concerts opens

lar III.” Intended for children ages
7 and older, the series is designed
to introduce young people to clas-
sical music. Subscription packages
for all three concerts in the series, as well as
individual tickets, are now available.
In addition to each one-hour Orchestra
concert, the Family Concert Series features
free, pre-concert activities, including an “In-
strument Discovery” in which children can try
playing various instruments.
At “Halloween Spooktacular!” on Sun-
day, October 28, families are invited to wear

Orchestra for an afternoon of fun ghost tales in
this story-based program featuring Halloween

phony Under the Sea” on Friday evening,
March 8, led by conductor Robert Franz, fol-
lowed by “Fables, Fantasies, & Folklore” on
Sunday afternoon, May 12, led by conductor

Radio station WCLV celebrates its 50th
anniversary of providing classical music to
Northeast Ohio with a special public open
house and day of live music
performances on Thursday,
November 1. Since 1965,
WCLV has been the radio
home of The Clevelnd Orch-
estra, and the Orchestra’s first broadcast on
WCLV, from September 23 that year, will be
aired during the celebrations on November
1. Also featured that day will be a live per-

director Gary Hanson said in sending congrat-
ulations earlier this month. “This community
can truly celebrate this milestone with WCLV,
and thank them for being the ‘radio home’
not just for The Cleveland Orchestra but for
classical music and the arts in general. Happy
Birthday, and thank you, WCLV.”
Welcome to new musician!

I N T R O D U C I N G T H E P R O G R A M
Shimmering Ideas&IdealsT H I S W E E K E N D ’ S C O N C E R T S feature three musical works writ-
ten within ten years of each other one hundred years ago, at the start
of the 20th century. The music looks forward and backward, with
both progressive and conservative musical ideas.
The evening concerts begin with a charming work by Anatoli
Liadov, a Russian composer who reportedly lacked self-confidence
to the extreme, but who nonetheless
managed to write several mesmeriz-
ing musical portraits. The Enchanted
Lake, from 1908, is a brief and beau-
tiful evocation of the shimmering,
shifting translucence within the glass-
like surface of a lake. Here, Liadov
created a Russian landscape through
the impressionistic musical lens most
often associated with Claude Debussy.
The two longer works on the
program represent something like
stylistic opposites. The unabashed
Romantic warmth and melodies of
Rachmaninoff’s Second Piano Con-
certo, from 1900-01, stir with strong
emotional feelings. Sibelius’s Second
Symphony, from 1901-02, while equally passionate and melodic,
rumbles between a kind of distilled heat and strong, chilling passions.
If Rachmaninoff was more than happy to wear his emotions on
his sleeve, Sibelius was more intent on contemplating his emotions
— and letting them out carefully, for effect.
Rachmaninoff’s concerto is filled with grand feelings, while the
Sibelius symphony is rendered as a magnificent experience.

The Enchanted Lake, Opus 62composed 1908
About the Music
A L T H O U G H L A C K I N G the stature of a Tolstoy or a Dos-
toyevsky, Russian novelist Ivan Goncharov (1812-1891) created
at least one fi gure that became immortal for capturing a state
of mind prevalent in 19th-century Russian society. Oblomov,
the hero of Goncharov’s novel of the same name from 1858, was
the epitome of the physical and intellectual sloth who was also
denounced in so many of Anton Chekhov’s works.
Th e word oblómovshchina found its way into every Russian
dictionary, with the meaning of “laziness, indolence, inactivity.”
Unable to get up in the morning, Oblomov lay in bed for a long
time trying to come to a decision; at last, “looking at his slip-
pers, he began lowering one foot down towards them, but at once
drew it back again.” As English musicologist Gerald Abraham
observed years ago, “the supreme example of oblómovshchina
in music is a composer born just three years before Goncharov
published his book, Anatoli Liadov.”
Liadov’s proverbial laziness seems to have had much to
do with psycholog ical factors — an almost pathological lack of
self-confi dence and a shyness in public that made all kinds of
social interaction, and even the carrying out of his duties as a
professor at the St. Petersburg Conservatory, extremely diffi cult
for him. When Liadov was a student at the same conservatory,
he had been expelled aft er failing to show up in class for an
extended period of time; he was later re-admitted on account
of his obvious and exceptional musical talent. But time and
again, works of his that had been scheduled for performances
had to be cancelled because he had been unable to fi nish them.
A famous episode with the ballet impresario Sergei Diaghilev
and the Ballets Russes was by no means the only example of
this — aft er giving up hope that Liadov would ever deliver the
promised score, Diaghilev turned to the young and unknown
Igor Stravinsky, whose score for Th e Firebird made history.
Despite his “oblómovism,” Liadov was supremely gift ed,
a fact that did not go unrecognized in Russian musical circles.
He was a spiritual child of the moguchaya kuchka (a group of
infl uential Russian composers also known as “the Five”), and a
pupil and friend of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. Other members
of “the Five,” including Mussorgsky and Borodin, thought very
highly of Liadov. One of his own students described Liadov with
by AnatoliLIADOVborn May 11, 1855St. Petersburg
died August 28, 1914Polynovka, NovgorodRussia
41Severance Hall 2012-13 About the Music
great warmth and admiration, calling him “the veritable image
of old Russia . . . a very extraordinary representative of the now
dying type of Russian craft smanship and art morals.” Samin-
sky described him as a brilliant teacher who hated to teach, a
man who was strangely aloof most of the time but could make
casual remarks that provided inspiration for years. (Another
Liadov student, a boy named Sergei Prokofi ev who entered the
St. Pe tersburg Conservatory at the age of 13, was much less ap-
preciative of Liadov’s teaching methods.)
Liadov, as everyone in Russian musical circles knew, was
working on an opera for decades, but never got around to ac-
tually writing it. He was at his best in short character pieces
for piano, chorus, or orchestra. His most successful orches-
tral works are Baba Yaga, Th e Enchanted Lake, and Kikimora.
Shorter than most symphonic poems, these pieces, instead of
telling a story with contrasting episodes, present single musi-
cal tableaux. Each shows Liadov’s excellent mastery of the or-
chestra and some interesting parallels with French music of his
generation, especially with some of Debussy’s impressionistic
techniques.
Liadov referred to Th e Enchanted Lake as skázochnaya
kartinka (a “fairytale picture”). Th e use of the word “picture”
is signifi cant. Th e piece seems to depict the motion less sur-
face of a lake, without placing it explicitly in the context of any
particular fairytale. Russian musicologist Boris Asafyev wrote
that Liadov had been in spired in part by a forest pond near his
home in Polynovka, and in part by his reading of the Finnish
folk epic Kalevala (in which lakes play an important role and
which also inspired the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius.)
Musically, the piece was undoubtedly inspired by Wagner’s
“Forest Mur murs” from the opera Siegfried, where considerable
rhythmic activity ultimately serves to depict total immobility.
Liadov’s work almost completely dispenses with the matic mate-
rial in the traditional sense; it is animated by the ever-changing
combi nations of instrumental colors. Th e lack of true motivic
development results in a feeling of placidity and timelessness
that, according to one writer, is “akin to that induced by the
telling of an oft -repeated and much loved fairytale.”
—Peter Laki
Liadov composed the orches-
tral legend Volshebnoye
ozero (“The Enchanted Lake”)
in 1908. The fi rst perfor-
mance was given in February
1909, with Nikolai Tcherepnin
leading the orchestra of the
St. Petersburg Conservatory.
This work runs just over
5 minutes in performance.
Liadov scored it for 3 fl utes,
2 oboes, 3 clarinets, 2 bas-
soons, 4 horns, timpani, bass
drum, harp, celesta, and
strings.
The Cleveland Orchestra
presented The Enchanted
Lake at the fi rst ”Popular
Concert” of its fi rst season,
in December 1918, with
Nikolai Sokoloff conducting.
It was programmed regularly
during the subsequent two
decades before fading from
the Orchestra’s general
repertoire. The most recent
performances were in Decem-
ber 1996, when Jahja Ling
included it on a weekend of
Severance Hall concerts.

R A C H M A N I N O F F was born into what had been a wealthy
family. Unfortunately, his spendthrift father had squandered
much of their wealth, and the forced sale of estates triggered a
move to St. Petersburg. One advantage of the relocation was
that the artistically inclined young boy now found himself in
Russia’s most musical city. Early piano lessons expanded into
formal study of piano and composition at the St. Petersburg
Conservatory, and later at the Moscow Conservatory, from
which he graduated with honors in 1892. Various early suc-
cesses followed, both as pianist and as composer. Yet the 1897
premiere of his First Symphony under the appalling leadership
of a literally drunken conductor was, in Rachmaninoff ’s own
words, “a fi asco.” Beaten down by the merciless criticism, and
utterly unwilling to risk further humiliation, he swore off com-
position in favor of performing as a pianist.
Th ree years passed, years of success at the keyboard. Yet
Rachmaninoff still held back from composition. At last, his
family persuaded him to seek professional help. Th e young
composer began frequent consultations with Dr. Nicolai Dahl,
a pioneer in techniques of hypnotism, and, not incidentally, an
avid amateur musician. Rachmaninoff later described the ex-
perience of his treatment: “I heard the same hypnotic formula
repeated day aft er day while I lay half asleep in an armchair in
Dahl’s study: ‘You will begin to write your concerto. You will
work with great facility. Th e concerto will be of excellent quality.’
It was always the same, without interruption. Although it may
sound incredible, this cure really helped me.” Aft er three months
of hypnotic sessions, he again found the courage to compose
— and completed his Second Piano Concerto within a few
months. Its premiere was given to great acclaim in Moscow
on November 9, 1901, with the composer himself as soloist. A
compositional career was reborn. In gratitude, Rachmaninoff
dedicated the score to Dr. Dahl, perhaps the only hypnotist ever
to earn such an honor from a major composer.
As a virtuoso pianist, Rachmaninoff composed for the
instrument not only according to his own tastes but also ac-
cording to his own strengths. For later performers, the results
are further complicated by the fact that Rachmaninoff was a tall
and lanky man with an astonishing reach to his hands. Pianists

Rachmaninoff composed the
second and third movements
of his Second Piano Concerto
in the summer and early au-
tumn of 1900. This incomplete
version was heard at a charity
concert in Moscow on October
14, with the composer at
the keyboard and Alexander
Siloti conducting. Rachmani-
noff fi nished composing the
work’s opening movement the
following spring. The com-
pleted concerto was premiered
exactly one year after the
earlier preview, on October 14,
1901; Rachmaninoff and Siloti
performed with the orchestra
of the Moscow Philharmonic
Society.
This concerto runs about
35 minutes in performance.
Rachmaninoff scored it for
an orchestra with pairs of
woodwinds (2 fl utes, 2 oboes,
2 clarinets, 2 bassoons), 4
horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trom-
bones, tuba, timpani, cym-
bals, bass drum, and strings.
The Cleveland Orch-
es tra fi rst performed
Rachmaninoff’s Second Piano
Concerto in February 1921,
with pianist Ossip Gabrilo-
witsch and conductor Nikolai
Sokoloff. It has been per-
formed frequently since that
time, including performances
with Rachmaninoff as soloist
in 1923 and 1942, and, most
recently in regularly sched-
uled performances, in April
2011 when Horacio Gutiérrez
played it under the direction
of Jirí Belohlávek.

of small proportions need not apply, and even those of average
size will fi nd challenges. Th e great pianist Vladimir Ashkenazy
observed in an interview with Gramophone magazine that for
playing Rachmaninoff , he wishes his fi ngers were a centimeter
longer. Moreover, as Rachmaninoff could play both quicksilver,
lightning-fast runs and also strong and powerful chords with
equal mastery, he includes both in his piano parts, requiring
a highly varied technique. For the pianist, it is not music for
the faint of heart, yet the rewards are worth the challenge for
performers and audiences.
Th e fi rst movement of Rachmaninoff ’s Concerto No. 2
opens with dark, paired chords for the soloist, building into
stormy runs. Only belatedly does the orchestra join in with
the fi rst of the main melodies, rich and lyrical, while the solo-
ist provides color and sparkle. As the movement develops, ad-
ditional melodic themes appear, generally assertive in nature.
By contrast, the second movement is gentle, sweetly ro-
mantic, like a candlelit dinner. Frequently, Rachmaninoff gives
beautiful themes to the woodwinds, making this concerto es-
pecially satisfying for this central family in the orchestra.
Drama returns in the fi nal movement, with a march-like
beat in the fi rst bars, demanding runs for the soloist, and at last
a grand, fl owing melody to overlie those runs. Rachmaninoff
builds a strong sense of motion that drives all the way to the
fi nal bars. More oft en than not, it is the orchestra — not the
soloist — that has the melodies, while the soloist colors and
underscores the action, drawing the eye and ear, even if it is
with the orchestra that a listener is humming.
In later years, Rachmaninoff ’s reputation as a gift ed craft s-
man of melodies led various songwriters of the 20th century
to borrow his themes for their songs. Th ose familiar with pop
music will fi nd within this concerto the source material for
“Full Moon and Empty Arms,” “Ever and Forever,” “If Th is is
Goodbye,” and “Th is is My Kind of Love.” Of special interest
may be the 1975 hit “All By Myself ” by Eric Carmen, who is
the nephew of Muriel Carmen, who served as a violist in Th e
Cleveland Orchestra from 1951 to 1994.

J E A N S I B E L I U S was more than Finland’s greatest composer
of international reputation. For the Finns, he was — and still
is — a national hero, who expressed what was widely regarded
as the essence of the Finnish character in music.
In his symphonic poems, Sibelius drew on the rich tra-
dition of the ancient Finnish epic, the Kalevala, both for his
storylines and for the rhythms of its speech turned into music.
And in his seven symphonies, he developed a style that has come
to be seen as profoundly Finnish and Nordic. It was a logical
continuation of the late Romantic tradition inherited from Jo-
hannes Brahms, Edvard Grieg, and Pyotr Tchaikovsky, and at
the same time a highly personal idiom to which he held stead-
fastly in the midst of a musical world fi lled with an increasing
multiplicity of new styles.
Each of Sibelius’s symphonies has its own personality.
Th e Second is distinguished by a predilection for melodies
that sound like folksongs — although Sibelius insisted that he
had not used any original folk melodies in the symphony. We
know, however, that he was interested in the folk music of his
country and, in 1892, he visited Karelia, the Eastern province
of Finland known for the archaic style of its songs.
It was perhaps Sibelius’s avowed interest in folksong that
prompted commentators to suggest a patriotic political program
for the Second Symphony. Th e conductor Georg Schnéevoigt,
a close friend of Sibelius and one of the most prominent early
performers of his music, claimed that the symphony’s fi rst move-
ment depicted the quiet pastoral life of the Finnish people, with
the subsequent movements outlining, in turn, the Russian op-
pressors, the awakening of national resistance, and fi nally the
triumph over foreign rule. Th ese ideas were certainly timely
as the 19th century turned into the 20th, when Finland was in
fact ruled by the Russian Czar and nationalist sentiments were
growing. But Sibelius himself never made any statements about
such a “program” within the Second Symphony.
In the fi rst movement, Sibelius “teases” the listener by in-
troducing his musical material in bits and pieces, and taking an
unusually long time to establish connections among the various
short motifs introduced. Th e gaps are fi lled in only gradually.
Eventually, however, the outlines of a symphonic form become

evident and by the end of the movement everything falls into
place. In his 1935 book on Sibelius’s symphonies, Cecil Gray
observed: “Whereas in the symphony of Sibelius’s predecessors
the thematic material is generally introduced in an exposition,
taken to pieces, dissected, and analyzed in a development sec-
tion, and put together again in a recapitulation, Sibelius in the
fi rst movement of the Second Symphony inverts the process, in-
troducing thematic fragments in the exposition, building them up
to an organic whole in the development section, then dispersing
and dissolving the material back into its primary constituents
in a brief recapitulation.”
Th e second movement (“Tempo andante, ma rubato”)
opens in a quite exceptional way — a timpani roll followed by an
extended, unaccompanied passage of low strings (double basses
and cellos in turn) played pizzicato (“plucked”). Th is gives rise
to the fi rst melody, marked lugubre (“mournful”) and played by
the bassoons. Th is continues the exclusive use of low-pitched
instruments in this opening section, but slowly and hesitatingly,
the higher woodwinds and strings enter. Little by little, both
the pitch and the volume rise, and the tempo increases to Poco
allegro, with a climax marked by fortissimo chords in the brass.
As a total contrast, a gentle violin melody, played very very soft ly
at triple pianissimo and in a new key, starts a new section. Th e
lugubre theme, its impassioned off shoots, and the new violin
melody dominate the rest of the movement. Th e movement
ends with a closing motif derived from this last melody, made
more resolute by a fuller orchestration.
Th e third movement (“Vivacissimo”) is a dashing scherzo
with a short and languid trio section. Th e singularity of the trio
theme, played by the fi rst oboe, is that it begins with a single
note repeated no less than nine times, yet it is immediately per-

ceived as a melody. Th e rest of the theme is eminently melodic, with
a graceful tag added by the two clarinets. Aft er a recapitulation of
the scherzo proper, the trio is heard another time, followed by a mas-
terly transition that leads directly into the triumphant fi nale without
a break.
Th e fi rst theme of the fourth-movement Finale is simple and pithy.
It is played by the strings at a forte (“loud”) dynamic, to a weighty ac-
companiment by low brass and timpani. Th e haunting second theme
has a four-line structure found in many folksongs, and is played by
the woodwinds much soft er than the fi rst theme, though eventually
rising in volume. Aft er a short development section, the triumphant
fi rst and the folksong-like second themes both return. Repeated sev-
eral times with the participation of ever greater orchestral forces, the
second theme builds up to a powerful climax. Th e fi rst theme is then
restated by the full orchestra as a concluding, triumphant gesture.

About the Music
Sibelius composed much of his Second Symphony
during the spring of 1901 while in Italy and
completed it in Finland during the winter of 1901-
02. It was fi rst performed on March 8, 1902, in
Helsingfors (Helsinki) with Sibelius conducting.
The symphony was published in 1903 with a dedi-
cation to Axel Carpelan, who had made Sibelius’s
Italian trip possible.
This symphony runs about 45 minutes in per-
formance. Sibelius scored it for 2 fl utes, 2 oboes,
2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3
trombones, tuba, timpani, and strings.
Sibelius’s Second was fi rst performed in the
Cleveland area on March 16, 1917, by the New
York Philharmonic conducted by Joseph Stransky.
The Cleveland Orchestra played it for the fi rst
time in November 1927, under the direction of
Nikolai Sokoloff. The most recent performances
were at Severance Hall in April 2009 conducted
by Colin Davis and as part of the 2008 Blossom
Festival led by Jahja Ling.
A memorable live performance of Sibelius’s
Symphony No. 2 by The Cleveland Orchestra con-
ducted by George Szell in Japan in 1970 (it was
one of Szell’s last concerts with the Orchestra)
was released in 1993 as part of The Cleveland Or-
chestra Seventy-Fifth Anniversary Compact Disc
Edition and was also included in the “George Szell
Live in Tokyo” compact disc released in 2001.

57Severance Hall 2012-13 Conductor
Robin TicciatiBritish conductor Robin Ticciati is principal conductor of
the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and principal guest con-
ductor of the Bamberg Symphony. Each season, he strives
to maintain a balance between his orchestral engagements
and operatic performances. He is making his Cleveland
Orchestra debut with this weekend’s concerts.
Born in London in 1983, Robin Ticciati is a violin-
ist, pianist, and percussionist by training, and also studied
music at the University of Cambridge. His paternal grand-
father was a composer and arranger, and his brother is a vio-
linist. He was a member of the National Youth Orchestra
of Great Britain when he turned to conducting, at age 15,
under the guidance of Colin Davis and Simon Rattle. Mr.
Ticciati founded the chamber ensemble Aurora, which made its debut in 2005,
the year in which he received a Borletti Buitoni Trust Fellowship.
Recent and future conducting engagements include concerts with the Ba-
varian Radio Symphony Orchestra, Filarmonic della Scala, Leipzig Gewandhaus
Orchestra, London Symphony Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Philadel-
phia Orchestra, Rotterdam Philharmonic, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, and
the Swedish Radio Symphony. In addition to his current positions, he served as
artistic advisor and chief conductor of the Gävle Symphony Orchestra (2006-09)
and was music director of Glyndebourne on tour (2007-09).
In opera, Mr. Ticciati’s schedule includes Mozart’s Don Giovanni at Glyn-
debourne Festival Opera and the Zurich Opera, Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro
at Glyndebourne and the Salzburg Festival, Humperdinck’s Hansel and Gretel at
the Metropolitan Opera, Tchaikovsky’s Eugene Onegin at London’s Royal Opera
House, and Britten’s Peter Grimes at La Scala Milan. When he becomes music
director of the Glyndebourne Festival Opera in 2014, he will be the first Tour di-
rector to be named music director of the full Glyndebourne Opera company.
Robin Ticciati’s discography includes Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique with
the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, released earlier this year. With the Bamberg
Symphony, he has conducted a recording of Brahms’s Haydn Variations and Ser-
enade No. 1, and an album of choral works by Brahms in collaboration with the
Bavarian Radio Chorus; the latter recording received Germany’s Echo Klassik
award.

DistinguishedService AwardThe Musical Arts Association is proud to honor Milton and Tamar Maltz as the 2012-13 recipients of the Distinguished Service Award, recognizing extraordinary service to The Cleveland Orchestra.
65Severance Hall 2012-13
Presented to Milton and Tamar Maltz at the concert of October 6, 2012
MILTON AND TAMAR MALTZ believe in creating a better world. Th is conviction
has ignited decades of inspirational and transformative philanthropy. Great music
of many kinds has a permanent place in Milton and Tamar’s vision. Th eir devotion
to music has ranged from helping develop the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Mu-
seum to supporting the success and growth of Th e Cleveland Orchestra.
Th e couple have been Cleveland Orchestra subscribers across four decades and
are devoted to the Orchestra’s Blossom Festival. Th ey have been generous contribu-
tors to the Orchestra’s Annual Fund and to special projects such as the renovation
of Severance Hall. In 2010, their visionary leadership helped launch the Orchestra’s
Center for Future Audiences with a $20 million lead endowment gift . Th e Center
was established to create and fund programs to develop new generations of audienc-
es for Cleveland Orchestra concerts. Th ese programs include the Orchestra’s “Un-
der 18s Free” program, which has to date granted free Blossom admission to over
26,000 young people.
Milton began his career as a child actor in radio dramas. He majored in
journalism at the University of Illinois and served our country as a code breaker
in the U.S. Navy before founding Malrite Communications Group in 1956. Dur-
ing Milton’s tenure as chairman and CEO, Malrite became one of the country’s top
broadcasting companies, boasting radio and television stations from coast to coast.
Milton’s successes include receiving the Dively Award for Entrepreneurship, and be-
ing inducted into the Cleveland Business Hall of Fame.
Tamar earned her education degree from Chicago’s Roosevelt University, and
then taught in Maryland, Michigan, and Ohio. She met her husband during a radio
audition, and later loaned him $6,000 to start Malrite. She serves on the board of di-
rectors of the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation and works to create social and
recreational opportunities for people suff ering from mental illness, for which she re-
ceived the “Trailblazer of the Year” award from the Planned Life Assistance Network.
Together with their children, Milton and Tamar created the Maltz Family
Foundation to channel their success into a greater Northeast Ohio. Th e Founda-
tion has supported programs in everything from the arts to medicine, including the
Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland Play House, Cleveland Clinic Foundation, and
Case Western Reserve University. Th e Foundation also launched Th e Maltz Mu-
seum of Jewish Heritage, which sponsors an annual “Stop the Hate” essay contest,
awarding $100,000 in scholarships and prizes to the winners.
Milton and Tamar believe that music is an essential part of life. Th eir exceptional
philanthropy helps ensure that great music performed by Th e Cleveland Orch estra can
continue to inspire everyone, forever. For their enduring commitment to the Orches-
tra, for their exemplary generosity in strengthening the Northeast Ohio community,
and for their unwavering devotion to music, the Musical Arts Association is pleased to
present Milton and Tamar Maltz with its highest award for distinguished service.

tion of Tchaikovsky’s Th e Nutcracker. Five perfor-
mances will be presented at Playhouse Square’s State
Th eatre November 29 thru December 2. Th e produc-
tion will be conducted by Tito Muñoz and mark the
fi rst time Th e Cleveland Orchestra has performed
Tchaikovsky’s Th e Nutcracker in a fully-staged pre-
sentation.
Conceived and originally directed in 1987 by
Robert Joff rey, with choreographic contributions
from Gerald Arpino, this production of Th e Nut-
cracker features more than 40 company dancers, 200
brilliant costumes, and larger-than-life scenery. Th e
Chicago Sun-Times called the Joff rey’s Nutcracker “a
grand showcase of classical technique that spotlights
the particular talents of many of the company’s en-
semble dancers,” the Chicagoist calls it “a fi rst-class
celebration of one of the greatest holiday productions
ever,” and the Washington Post praised it as “a theat-
rical event of irresistible power.”
Th e Cleveland cast of Th e Nutcracker will include sixty Northeast Ohio young
dancers, who will be selected by audition, dancing side-by-side with the Joff rey compa-
ny. Th e Cleveland Orchestra Children’s Chorus, comprised of fi ft y members, also joins
the performances to sing in the beautiful “Snow Scene.”
“Our company looks forward to once again joining Th e Cleveland Orchestra” says
Joff rey Ballet artistic director Ashley Wheater, “and in extending our wonderful part-
nership into a complete production. Our previous performances together at Blossom
have included elements of a full ballet, but this time we’ll have all the sets, costumes,
lighting, and the magnifi cent choreography of our founder Robert Joff rey.”
The Cleveland Orchestra performs Tchaikovsky’s “The Nutcracker” with The Joffrey Ballet at PlayhouseSquare Five performances Nov 29 thru Dec 2

The Cleveland Orchestra’s catalog of recordings
continues to grow. The newest DVD features Bruckner’s
Eighth Symphony recorded live at Severance Hall under
the direction of Music Director Franz Welser-Möst in 2010
and released in May 2011. And, released in
2012, Dvořák’s opera Rusalka on CD, recorded
live at the Salzburg Festival. Writing of the
Rusalka performances, the reviewer for
London’s Sunday Times praised the perform -
ance as “the most spellbinding account
of Dvořák’s miraculous score I have ever
heard, either in the theatre or on record.
. . . I doubt this music can be better played than by the
Clevelanders, the most ‘European’ of the American or-
chestras, with wind and brass soloists to die for and a
string sound of superlative warmth and sensitivity.”
Other recordings released in recent years
include two under the baton of Pierre Boulez
and a third album of Mozart piano concertos
with Mitsuko Uchida, whose fi rst Cleveland
Orchestra Mozart album won a Grammy Award
in 2011.

H A I L E D A S O N E O F the world’s most
beautiful concert halls, Severance Hall
has been home to Th e Cleveland Or-
chestra since its opening on February 5,
1931. Aft er that fi rst concert, a Cleve-
land newspaper editorial stated: “We
believe that Mr. Severance intended
to build a temple to music, and not a
temple to wealth; and we believe it is his
intention that all music lovers should be
welcome there.” John Long Severance
(president of the Musical Arts Associa-
tion, 1921-1936) and his wife, Elisabeth,
donated most of the funds necessary to
erect this magnifi cent building. De-
signed by Walker & Weeks, its elegant
Georgian exterior was constructed to
harmonize with the classical architec-
ture of other prominent buildings in
the University Circle area. Th e interior
of the building refl ects a combination
of design styles, including Art Deco,
Egyptian Revival, Classicism, and Mod-
ernism. An extensive renovation, resto-
ration, and expansion of the facility was
completed in January 2000. In addition
to serving as the home of Th e Cleveland
Orchestra for concerts and rehearsals,
the building is rented by a wide variety
of local organizations and private citi-
zens for performances, meetings, and
gala events each year.
