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 con-

certs, and as the unique Fridays@7 Series enters

its fourth season, a bold repertoire move sees

world music migrating from the @fter-party en-

tertainment to the main-stage concert with the

Orchestra. The KeyBank Fridays@7 series open-

ing on October 5 features 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 will be

the fi rst to be supported by a newly established

fund that permanently endows annual Cleveland

Orchestra 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

23,000 young people have attended Cleveland

Orchestra concerts. “Under 18s Free” at Sever-

ance Hall tickets are available for all KeyBank

The Cleveland Orchestra’s Fridays@7 series

takes a new turn this season, incorporating

world music and American roots music into the

Orchestra’s classical programs. The popular

series, now in its fourth season, is sponsored by

KeyBank and features four concerts during the

2012-13 season, each combining a Cleveland

Orchestra concert with pre- and post-concert

performances of world music.

Gamelan D’Drum, composed by Stewart

Copeland, drummer and founder of The Po-

lice, is featured in the fi rst performance of the

series on October 5. Copeland will be at Sever-

ance Hall for the Cleveland premiere featuring

D’Drum, a fi ve-member world percussion en-

semble from Texas. The percussionists join the

Orchestra and conductor James Feddeck in the

“unconventional” and “exotic” work that fea-

tures 70 multi-cultural percussion instruments.

American

folk music infl u-

enced the Banjo

Concerto by Béla

Fleck, a work programmed on the

second performance of the

series, on December 7. In writing the concerto,

Fleck says he wanted to “explore the new pos-

sibilities of the banjo as a member of the or-

chestra, while respecting its roots in bluegrass

and jazz.” Banjo virtuoso Béla Fleck joins the

Orchestra and conductor Giancarlo Guerrero to

perform the concerto in its Cleveland premiere.

The KeyBank Fridays@7 Series pairs orches-

tral programs at 7 p.m. with the discovery of

diff erent types of world music in post-concert

performances by ensembles in the lobbies of

Severance Hall. The season’s other two pro-

grams are January 18 and May 24.

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

Audio Audition: “Conducting

Mozart concertos from the piano

has a long and honored tradi-

tion, 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 Andantino movement. The last move-

ment virtually bubbles with infectious wit

and digital confidence. . . . 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.

the music before each concert begins.

For each concert, the program book

includes program notes commenting

on and providing background about

the composer and his or her work

being performed that week, along

with biographies of the guest artists

and other information. You can read

these before the concert, at intermis-

tions around Cleveland to explore the

music being played each week and the

stories behind the composers’ lives.

Free Concert Previews are pre-

sented one hour before most subscrip-

portunity for audience members to ask

Gifts of Youth &Old Age

T H E R E I S M U S I C of youth and music of old

age, and we like to think we can observe the dif-

ference. Young composers break out in extrava-

gant, iconoclastic irreverence; old composers look

back nostalgically to earlier times and styles as if

the clock had not moved forward.

Th ere are many exceptions, of course

(Brahms so mature in his youth, Janáček

so modern in his old age), but the three

works in this weekend’s concert program

neatly illustrate the contrast.

Berlioz and Hindemith, both at

twenty-six, introduce new sounds and

new concepts without a trace of apology,

while Strauss, at eighty-two, calmly

allows his unstoppable

creativity to cover pages of

music-paper with elegant

phrases and divine melody,

reminiscent of an earlier age

and scored with the skill of

a master.

Kammermusik No. 1, Opus 24, No. 1(for small orchestra)composed 1922

About the Music

by PaulHINDEMITHborn November 16, 1895Hanau, Germany

died December 28, 1963Frankfurt, Germany

D U R I N G H I S Y E A R S at Yale, from 1940 to 1953, Hindemith

established a reputation as a demanding teacher and a wise ex-

ponent of the art of composition, based on textbooks he wrote

both in America and earlier in Germany. So fi rmly did he seem

to be part of the musical establishment, it was hard to accept that

as a young man he was an enfant terrible whose music sent shock

waves around Germany every time a new work was produced.

Hindemith was also well known as a player of both the

violin and the viola; for some years he was concertmaster at

the Frankfurt Opera and a member of the Amar String Quar-

tet. When he accepted a teaching appointment at the Hoch-

schule für Musik in Berlin in 1927, many eyebrows were raised

that so daring a composer could be entrusted with the job.

In 1921, when he was twenty-fi ve, a pair of one-act operas

caused a minor scandal in Stuttgart, and in the same summer

his String Quartet No. 2 was a similar sensation at the fi rst

Donaueschingen Festival, close to the Swiss border. Th e sec-

ond Donaueschingen Festival in 1922 included a rather dour

song-cycle Die junge Magd and the Kammermusik No. 1, which

confi rmed the success of the Festival (which still fl ourishes to-

day) and won nearly all the critics over to an enthusiasm for its

unconventional sounds and ideas.

Hindemith had composed the Kammermusik (literally

“chamber music”) rapidly — he always composed rapidly —

in January and February of that year, scoring it for a group of

twelve players, partly, he said, because the price of music-pa-

per was prohibitive in Germany aft er World War I, and partly

because the new aesthetic was determined to break away from

the lushness of the Romantic orchestra. Stravinsky had done

something similar with L’Histoire du Soldat (“Th e Soldier’s Tale”)

a few years earlier. In Hindemith’s score, four winds and fi ve

strings are supported by two keyboards (piano and accordion),

plus an array of percussion whose special surprise is reserved

for the fi nal bars of the last movement. Th e accordion part was

originally written for a harmonium.

Also, in the original plan, the work had two central slow

movements. Th e fi rst of these was replaced by the brisk second

movement we have now, so that the third movement provides

That’s why last year, the Jewish Federation of Cleveland raised and allocated nearly $127 million to social service, educational and humanitarian organizations that support Cleveland’s Jewish and general communities, as well as those in more than 70 countries around the world.

the only slow, refl ective music in the piece. Headed with the

word “Quartett,” it is a sparsely textured dialogue for fl ute,

clarinet, and bassoon with occasional very soft touches on the

glockenspiel’s F-sharp, a haunting eff ect.

Th e other three movements, each of which is longer than

the previous one, are brisk and bracing, with strong rhythms

and plenty of dissonance. Th e last movement gives the feeling

that Hindemith is thoroughly enjoying himself with a series

of tunes in the winds, culminating in a foxtrot on the trumpet

borrowed from a tune by Wilm Wilm, a composer of popular

Viennese music. Th e strings meanwhile have a non-stop tor-

rent of notes without any tunes, so that if Hindemith, playing

the viola in the fi rst performance, thought it was fun to write,

it was far from easy to play.—Hugh Macdonald © 2012

Hindemith composed his

Kammermusik No. 1 in Janu-

ary and February 1922. It

was fi rst performed on July

31 that year as part of the

1922 Donaueschingen Festi-

val, conducted by Hermann

Scherchen. It was published

along with a companion piece

(Kleine Kammermusik, Opus

24, No. 2, for wind quintet)

later that year. The fi rst

American performance took

place in New York in February

1925, conducted by Percy

Grainger.

This work runs about 15

minutes in performance. Hin-

demith scored it for a small

orchestra comprised of fl ute

(doubling piccolo), clarinet,

bassoon, trumpet, accor-

dion, piano, percussion (one

player), two violins, violaü,

cello, and double bass.

The Cleveland Orchestra

has presented Hindemith’s

Kammermusik No. 1 on

two previous occasions, in

January 1969 under guest

conductor Szymon Goldberg

(a friend and a chamber

music colleague of Hindemith)

and in October 1985 led by

Erich Leinsdorf.

“It is accomplished! Modern German music has fi nally succeeded in taking hold of life where it rages in the most frivolous and vulgar manner. The achiever of the ‘miracle’ is the composer Paul Hindemith, in his Kammermusik No. 1. Here one encounters a music that no German composer of artistic deportment has yet dared to think of, to say nothing of writing it — a music of such lasciviousness and frivolity that it is only possible for a composer of very special type.. . . There ensues hissing and seething, a tearing, banging and pushing; a screeching and yelling assaults our ears. . . . Couples mingle literally to fox-trot melodies . . . utterly abandoned people gasp for air, and then a long, all-pen-etrating whistle — surely a warning signal — for the piece is promptly over. . . . It is a music that perhaps has parallels in Stravinsky, but can hardly be exceeded by him.”

Oboe Concerto in D majorcomposed 1946

by RichardSTRAUSSborn June 11, 1864Munich

diedSeptember 8, 1949Garmisch-Parten-kirchen, Bavaria

I N A P R I L 1 9 4 5 , as World War II was coming to a close, a secu-

rity detachment of the American Seventh Army was searching

for stolen artistic treasures in the southernmost part of Germa-

ny, close to the Austrian border. Lieutenant Milton Weiss sent

his junior offi cer to a large house in Garmisch-Partenkirchen

who reported that an elderly gentleman wished to speak to the

commanding offi cer. As Weiss approached the villa, he heard

the man say, in accented English, “I am the composer of Der

Rosenkavalier and Salome.” Because Weiss had had some mu-

sical training in his Bronx childhood and played the piano, he

realized that this was the composer Richard Strauss and imme-

diately put an “off -limits” sign on the gate to prevent the house

being commandeered and its occupants moved elsewhere.

Th e musicologist Alfred Mann, born in Germany but

working with the Allies as interpreter and counter-intelligence

offi cer, arrived in Garmisch on April 29. Th e town’s mayor took

Mann to see their most famous resident and a warm friendship

developed between Mann and Strauss. Soon aft erwards, one of

Mann’s fellow students at the Curtis Institute of Music in Phil-

adelphia arrived in Garmisch as a staff -sargeant in the Offi ce

of Strategic Service (OSS). Th is was John de Lancie, principal

oboe of the Pittsburgh Symphony (under Fritz Reiner) until he

was draft ed in 1942. Mann took the twenty-three-year-old de

Lancie to meet Strauss, a meeting that was followed by two or

three more in which they conversed in French and de Lancie

asked Strauss if he had ever thought of writing a concerto for

oboe. Strauss’s reply was non-committal, and de Lancie as-

sumed that that was the end of the matter.

Shortly aft erwards Strauss wrote to Mann: “Th e visit of

your friend from Chicago [sic] has inspired me to write a little

piece for the oboe!” Th e draft of the concerto was fi nished on

September 15 and the orchestration ready at the beginning of

1946, by which time Strauss and his family had moved to Swit-

zerland to avoid the de-Nazifi cation tribunals he would have

had to submit to. Th e premiere of the concerto was thus given

in Zurich by the Tonhalle Orchestra’s principal oboe and con-

ducted by one of Strauss’s old friends, Volkmar Andreae, to

whom it was dedicated.

rights have gone to de Lancie, but soon aft er returning to civil-

ian life he was appointed by Eugene Ormandy to be assistant

principal oboe in the Philadelphia Orchestra, the principal

being his former teacher, Marcel Tabuteau, who had himself

asked if he might play the American premiere and was infuri-

ated to learn that it had been promised to his young pupil. In

these circumstances, the best solution was a premiere some-

where else played by someone else. Th at someone was a fi ne

oboist, better known in coming years as Mitch Miller of “Sing

Along With Mitch” (who died in July 2010). De Lancie played

the concerto in public only once, on tour with the Philadelphia

Orchestra at Interlochen, Michigan, in the late 1960s.

While the story of the concerto’s genesis is absorbing, the

work itself is of disarming charm and civility, a product of the

composer’s serene old age. Th e scoring is light and delicate,

and the themes weave in and out with consummate skill.

It feels as if it is divided into the conventional three move-

ments, linked continuously together, but the fi nale moves into a

closing Allegro section that might better be classifi ed as a fourth

movement.

Th e solo part is famous, or perhaps infamous, for its de-

mands on the player’s stamina and breath-control, for there is

scarcely a gap in some of the longer paragraphs, notably at the

very beginning, and in the slow movement, too. Oboists are

nonetheless deeply grateful for such a sublime addition to what

in many other ways is a slender concerto repertoire.

—Hugh Macdonald © 2012

Strauss wrote his Oboe Concerto in 1945, com-

pleting the work’s orchestration by early 1946.

It was fi rst performed on February 26, 1946,

by Zurich’s Tonhalle Orchestra conducted by

Volkmar Andreae, with the ensemble’s princi-

pal oboe, Marcel Saillet, as soloist. The fi rst

American performance took place in New York

on February 1, 1948, with the CBS Symphony

Orchestra conducted by Bernard Hermann and

with Mitchell Miller as soloist.

This work runs about 25 minutes in

performance. Strauss scored it for a small

orchestra comprised of 2 fl utes, english horn,

2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, and strings,

plus the solo oboe.

The Cleveland Orchestra fi rst presented

music from Strauss’s Oboe Concerto in the

summer of 1970, when the third movement

was played at a Family Matinee concert at

Blossom. The complete concerto has been

presented on just two previous occasions at

Severance Hall, when principal oboe John

Mack performed it in concerts in January

1974 (conducted by Matthias Bamert) and in

March 1979 (conducted by Klaus Tennstedt).

Lorin Maazel led performances with Mack in

the autumn of 1979, at Yale University and at

Carnegie Hall.

W H E N A N E W YO R K N E W S PA P E R in 1868 described the

Symphonie fantastique as “a nightmare set to music,” it was

meant to be an insult. Yet this was exactly what Berlioz in-

tended — not that the critic should have a miserable evening,

but that he should grasp, even dimly, the nightmarish agonies

of the composer’s own experience.

Of Berlioz’s real suff ering there can be no doubt. One has

only to read the letters of 1829 (when Berlioz was twenty-fi ve

years old) to glimpse the torment of a composer whose mind was

bursting with musical ideas and whose heart was bleeding.

Th e object of his passion was an Irish actress, Harriet

Smithson, whom Berlioz had seen on the stage two years before

in the roles of Juliet and Ophelia. Since then, he had seen her

only at a distance, while of his very existence she was still quite

unaware. How was this unreal passion to be expressed? His

fi rst thought, naturally enough, was a dramatic Shakespearean

work, perhaps a Romeo and Juliet, for which he composed, it

seems, a few movements. He then set several of Th omas Moore’s

Irish Melodies to music, which at least evoked the land of her

birth. Once he had encountered Beethoven’s symphonies, es-

pecially the Eroica (which impressed him just as strongly as

Shakespeare), he liked the idea of writing a Beethovenian sym-

phony — except that the customary triumphant ending had no

counterpart in his own world.

Th e dilemma was resolved early in 1830 when he was in-

formed, evidently by a new aspirant to the role of lover, that

Harriet was a typical actress, free and easy with her favors and

in no way worthy of the exalted passion that consumed him day

and night. Now, he suddenly realized, he could represent this

dramatic episode in his life as a symphony, with a demonic, or-

giastic fi nale in which both he and she are condemned to hell.

Th e symphony was speedily written down in little more

than three months and performed for the fi rst time later that

year. It became a main item in Berlioz’s many concerts in the

1830s, for each of which he issued a printed program explain-

ing the symphony’s narrative.

Although the symphony is explicitly about an “artist” and

his “beloved,” it is partially about Romeo and Juliet, and even

About the Music


HECTOR BERLIOZ 1803-1869

Hector Berlioz, in a drawing from 1831

(above) and a photo from 1863 (below).

Berlioz lived in an era when satirical cari-

catures were in style, and he was often lampooned

in the press. Showing a cannon in the orchestra

poked fun at his use of large (and loud) orchestra-

tion with unusual instruments, and an oversized

head pointed to his demonstratively large ego.

Hector Berlioz


more obviously about himself and Harriet, as everyone prob-

ably knew. Even aft er Berlioz had, by a strange irony, met and

married Harriet Smithson three years later, the symphony’s

dramatic program remained. Th ere can be few parallels to this

extraordinary tale of love blooming in real life aft er it had been

violently repudiated and exorcized in a work of art.

All fi ve movements contain a single recurrent musical

theme, the idée fi xe (“obsession”), which represents the artist’s

love, and is transformed according to the context in which the

artist fi nds his beloved. Aft er a slow introduction (“Reveries”),

which depicts “the sickness of the soul, the fl ux of passion, the

unaccountable joys and sorrows he experienced before he saw his

beloved,” the idée fi xe is heard as the main theme of the open-

ing movement’s main Allegro section (“Passions”), with violins

and fl ute lightly accompanied by sputtering lower strings. Th e

surge of passion is aptly described in the volcanic fi rst move-

ment, although the movement ends in an unexpected picture

of religious consolation.

In the second movement (“A Ball”), the artist glimpses

the beloved in a crowd of whirling dancers. In the third move-

ment (“Scene in the Country”), two shepherds call to each other

on their pipes, with the music depicting the stillness of a sum-

mer evening in the country, the artist’s passionate melancholy,

the wind caressing the trees, and the agitation caused by the

beloved’s appearance. At the end, the lone shepherd’s pipe is

answered only by the rumble of distant thunder.

In his despair, the artist has poisoned his beloved and is

condemned to death. Th e fourth movement is the “March to

the Scaff old,” as he is led to the guillotine before the raucous

jeers of the crowd. In his last moments, he sees the beloved’s

image (the idée fi xe in the clarinet’s most piercing range) before

the blade falls.

Finally, in the fi ft h movement (“Dream of a Witches’ Sab-

bath”), the artist fi nds himself a spectator at a sinister gathering

of spectres and weird, mocking monsters of every kind. Th e

idée fi xe appears, horribly distorted, bells toll, the religious Dies

irae motif is coarsely intoned by tubas (originally written for

ophicleide, a lower-pitched keyed bugle created in 1817) and

bassoons, and the witches’ round-dance gathers momentum.

Eventually the dance and the Dies irae join together and the

symphony ends in a riot of brilliant orchestral sound.

Th e Symphonie fantastique has remained to this day a clas-

Berlioz composed his Sym-

phonie fantastique during the

spring of 1830. The work’s

50 minutes in performance.

About the Music


BERLIOZ’SBELOVEDA portrait of the Irish

actress Harriet Smith-

son, and a portrayal of

her onstage as Ophelia

in Shakespeare’s Ham-

let. Berlioz became

infatuated with Smith-

son when he saw her

perform in Paris. They

eventually married,

but were never really

happy together.

sic document of the Romantic imagination and a great virtuoso

piece for orchestra. Berlioz’s grasp of the orchestra’s potential

charge was uncanny at so early an age. His writing for brass

and percussion is particularly novel, and in the second move-

ment he later added a part for solo cornet to evoke the ballroom

music of his day. Th at movement also introduced harps into the

symphony orchestra for the fi rst time, while the fi nale calls for

bells and the squeaky high-pitched E-fl at clarinet. Th e ophi-

cleide (usually replaced in modern performances by tuba) was

then the normal bass brass instrument in France, relished by

Berlioz for its coarse tone in such demonic contexts as this.

It is curious to refl ect that much of the symphony’s musi-

cal material was drawn from earlier compositions. Th e main

melody of the third movement, for example, was recently dis-

covered to have been the main theme of a movement in Ber-

lioz’s early Messe solennelle, and the March to the Scaff old was

rescued from an unperformed opera, Les Francs-juges.

In addition, it is probable that the ballroom music was

originally meant for his aborted Roméo et Juliette. If so, its

new function in the symphony is strikingly apt since Romeo’s

fi rst glimpse of Juliet at the Capulets’ ball is exactly how Ber-

lioz imagined the artist seeing his unhappy, doomed “beloved”

— and not unlike his own experience on fi rst seeing Harriet

perform on stage. When Berlioz fi nally composed a symphony

on Romeo and Juliet nearly ten years later, his ballroom mu-

sic was already taken, so he had to write a new, and even more

spectacular ball.

Th e Symphonie fantastique remains the most potent ex-

ample in music of the Romantic spirit in full fl ood, melding

music, literature, poetry, imagination, and personal experience

into a sensational drama — a drama of the senses and of unin-

hibited emotion, bursting with life.

About the Music

Love cannot express the

idea of music, while music

may give an idea of love.

—Hector Berlioz

‘‘ ‘‘

Berlioz, painted in Rome in 1832, probably by Emile Signol.


Al JarreauAl Jarreau’s distinctive vocal style has made him one of the most critically-ac-

claimed performers of our time, with seven Grammy Awards, scores of interna-

tional music awards, and fans worldwide. Mr. Jarreau is only the second vocalist

— Michael Jackson was the first — in history to net Grammy Awards in three

different categories (jazz, pop, and R&B), including his most recent win for Best

Traditional R&B Vocal Performance for “God Bless the

Child” together with George Benson and Jill Scott in 2007.

Al Jarreau was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in

1940. He started singing at the age of four in the church

choir. After receiving his masters degree from the Univer-

sity of Iowa, he relocated to San Francisco to begin a career

in rehabilitation counseling. In San Francisco, Mr. Jarreau’s

musical talents came to the fore, and he found himself sing-

ing at a small jazz club, the Half/Note, with a trio headed by

George Duke. It was in this intimate setting that the album

Al Jarreau and the George Duke Trio — Live at the Half/Note,

was recorded in 1965, a portrait of two young musical tal-

ents on the cusp of stardom.

Al Jarreau moved on to Los Angeles and New York

City, where he gained national network television exposure with Johnny Carson,

Merv Griffin, David Frost, and Mike Douglas, and through performances at The

Improv. In 1975, he was signed to a recording contract with Warner Bros, and

released his debut album, We Got By, to great acclaim.

Since then, Jarreau has released more than twenty albums, spawning hits

like “We’re in This Love Together,” “Teach Me Tonight,” “So Good,” and the

theme song to the hit television show Moonlighting. He has performed on Broad-

way, guest starred on television shows, appeared in national commercials, and

performed with symphony orchestras across the United States and Europe. He

has collaborated on recordings with George Benson, Herbie Hancock, Paul Mc-

Cartney, Jill Scott, Chris Botti, and Patti Austin, among others.

Called “the voice of versatility” by the Chicago Tribune, “the greatest jazz

singer alive” by Time Magazine, and “one of the world’s greatest natural resourc-

es” by the Detroit News, Al Jarreau received his own Star on the “Hollywood

Walk of Fame” in 2001. After more than four decades in the industry, Jarreau is

undoubtedly one of the greatest performers and innovative vocalists of our time.

Al continues to tour extensively worldwide, with his sextet and symphony shows,

and is currently working on a new studio album.

The third of Mitsuko Uchida’s albums

of Mozart concertos with The Cleveland

Orchestra has been released — and is now

available for purchase at the Cleveland Or-

chestra Store at Severance Hall. The album

features Piano Concertos Nos. 9 and 21,

recorded in live performances at Severance

Hall. One of the previous discs from this

collaboration received a Grammy Award

in 2011.

Reviews of this new album include

these comments from Audio Audition:

“Conducting Mozart concertos from the

piano has a long and honored tradition,

originating with the composer himself. . . .

Uchida performs on a new Hamburg Stein-

way 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 Andantino

movement. The last movement virtually

bubbles with infectious wit and digital

confidence. . . . The give-and-take response

between Uchida and The Cleveland 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!”

Legacy & Planned Giving


Meet Nancy Dotson Cleveland Orchestra Heritage Society member, former State Chair of the Blossom Women’s Committee, and Heritage Society radio ambassador on WCLV

When did you begin attending Cleveland Orchestra concerts?Dick and I have lived in the area for 33 years and have

been attending concerts for most of those years.

What is your favorite concert experiencewith The Cleveland Orchestra?

Without a doubt, we will never forget the concert at Sever-

ance Hall several years ago with Sir Colin Davis and Mit-

suko Uchida and the Mozart Piano Concerto. Sitting in the

dress circle and seeing the interaction of these two icons and

Th e Cleveland Orchestra is something I will never forget.

What is your favorite memory of The Cleve-land Orchestra or Blossom Festival?

Dick and I have so many wonderful memories of Blossom

and Severance Hall. Living in Hudson and only 20 minutes from Blossom,

our summer revolves around the lyrical weekend evenings at Blossom. Sitting on

the Lawn with a glass of wine under the stars is our idea of a perfect date! Meeting

various members of Th e Cleveland Orchestra at the summer Gourmet Matinee

Luncheons or the Orchestra Picnic sponsored by the Blossom Women’s Committee

have also been special treats.

What reason do you suggest when extending an invitation to join the Heritage Society?

It is a very special privilege to have Th e Cleveland Orchestra so readily accessible

and convenient to attend. It is for these reasons that we made a decision to include

the Orchestra in our estate planning several years ago. Leaving a legacy for future

generations to enjoy this music and for the musicians to carry on the music is some-

thing we are happy we can do.

For information on membership in the Heritage Society,

contact Bridget Mundy, Legacy Giving Offi cer, by calling 216-231-8006

or via email at [email protected] or go

The Musical Arts Association gratefully acknowledges the artistry and dedication of all the

musicians of The Cleveland Orchestra. In addition to rehearsals and concerts throughout

the year, many musicians donate performance time in support of community engagement,

fundraising, education, and audience development activities. We are pleased to recognize

ing the 2010-11 and 2011-12 seasons.

Tickets are now on sale for the holiday event of

the season, as Th e Cleveland Orchestra presents Th e

Joff rey Ballet’s complete silver anniversary produc-

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.

A great ballet score and the world premiere

of a new violin concerto — this program fea-

tures musical works from across the past cen-

tury, led by guest conductor Giancarlo Guerre-

ro. The concert begins with Stravinsky’s lively

ballet score Pétrouchka, in which a puppet

tries to fi nd true love. Here, Stravinsky draws

a riveting portrait of townsfolk and human

longings in brilliant rhythms and memorable

melody. Plus, concertmaster William Preucil

premieres a brand-new concerto. The concert

ends with the Frenchman Ravel’s exquisite

portrait of Spanish tastes.
