No orchestra in America — indeed, perhaps no other orchestra in the world — is more ideally suited to partner with MMA in achieving these goals than The Cleveland Orchestra. Securing and building support for Cleveland Orchestra Miami will ensure that MMA succeeds in creating a culture of passionate and dedicated concert-going in South Florida among the broadest constituency.

November 2014Dear Friends, Welcome to the ninth season of Cleveland Orchestra Miami concerts, featuring the wonderful Cleveland Orchestra! Thank you so much for join-ing us this evening for these fi rst concerts of the season. This weekend’s performances, led by conductor Giancarlo Guerrero, feature a vibrant and lively program of music from Italy and Spain sure to invigorate your spirit. It is my sincere pleasure to lead Miami Music Association in partner-ship with The Cleveland Orchestra to present this new season of concerts, community events, and education programs for South Florida. This collaboration is making our city stronger. We have the unique opportunity to call a world-renowned orchestra our own for four weeks each year, harnessing the full power of its music-making for the benefi t of our community. This includes four weekends of concerts — with enthusi-astic audiences fi lling Knight Concert Hall to near capacity. It encompasses unique partnerships with educational institutions across the region to pres-ent programs for students of all ages. This year, in fact, we are increasing the number of Miami-Dade County Public School students we serve with music education programs by 50 percent. And we are expanding the ways we engage South Florida residents — for the fi rst time in early 2015, we are presenting a community concert for everyone who loves music. Details of the program will be announced in the coming weeks. We are thrilled to off er a wide variety of meaningful musical experiences with The Cleveland Orchestra, and to make a signifi -cant contribution to the fl ourishing culture of our region. Finally, and on behalf of all the Miami Music Association trustees, I want to extend my gratitude to every donor and patron. Thank you for attending these concerts. And thank you to the growing number of gener-ous donors and contributors who support Cleveland Orchestra Miami and its impact on Miami’s cultural community. Best regards,
Sheldon T. Anderson

12 2014-15 Cleveland Orchestra MiamiMusic Director
Franz Welser-Möst Music Director Kelvin Smith Family Endowed Chair The Cleveland Orchestra
Th e Th e 2014-15 season marks Franz Welser-Möst’s thirteenth year as music director of Th e Cleveland Orchestra, with the future of this acclaimed partner-
ship now extending into the next decade. Under his direction, the Orchestra is hailed for its continuing artistic excellence, is broadening and enhancing its community programming at home in Northeast Ohio, is presented in a series of ongoing resi-dencies in the United States and Europe, and has re-established itself as an important operatic ensemble. With a commitment to music education and the Northeast Ohio community, Franz Welser-Möst has taken Th e Cleveland Orchestra back into public schools with performances in col-laboration with the Cleveland Metro politan School District. He has championed new programs, such as a community-focused Make Music! initiative and a series of “At Home” neighborhood residencies and concerts in the community designed to bring the Orchestra and citizens together in new ways.
Under Mr. Welser-Möst’s leadership, Th e Cleveland Orchestra has estab-lished a recurring biennial residency in Vienna at the famed Musik verein concert hall and appears regularly at Switzerland’s Lucerne Festival. Together, they have also 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, an annual multi-week Cleveland Orch estra residency in Florida was inaugurated in 2007 and an ongoing relationship with New York’s Lincoln Center Festival began in 2011. Franz Welser-Möst has led annual opera performances during his tenure in Cleveland, re-establishing the Orchestra as an important operatic en-semble. Following six seasons of opera-in-concert presentations, 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 an innovative made-for-Cleveland production of Leoš Janáček’s Th e Cunning Little Vixen at Severance Hall. Th ey will present performances of Richard Strauss’s Daphne in May 2015.

A fervent advocate of new music and contemporary composers, Mr. Guerrero has collaborated with and conducted works by some of America’s most respected composers, including John Adams, John Corigliano, Michael Daugherty, Osvaldo Golijov, Jennifer Higdon, Aaron Jay Kernis, and Roberto Sierra. His fi rst album with the Nashville Symphony, on Naxos, featured works by Daugherty and won three 2011 Grammy Awards. Two more albums have been released, of music by Argentine legend Astor Piazzolla and by American composer Joseph Schwantner; the latter re-cording received a Grammy Award in 2012. Mr. Guerrero has appeared regularly in Latin America, conducting the São Paulo State Symphony Orchestra and with the Orquesta Sinfónica Simón Bolívar in Caracas, Venezuela, where he has also worked with young musicians in the coun-try’s much-lauded El Sistema music education program.

The Cleveland OrchestraUnder the leadership of Music Director Franz Welser-Möst, Th e Cleveland Orchestra has become one of the most sought-aft er performing ensembles in the world. In con-certs at its winter home at Severance Hall and at each summer’s Blossom Music Fes-tival, in ongoing residencies from Miami to Vienna, and on tour around the world, the Orchestra sets the highest standards of artistic excellence, creative programming, and community engagement. Th e Cleveland Orchestra has a long and distinguished recording and broad-cast history. A series of DVD and CD recordings under the direction of Mr. Welser-
Möst continues to add to an exten-sive and widely praised catalog of audio recordings made during the tenures of the ensemble’s earlier music directors. In addition, Cleve-land Orchestra concerts are heard in syndication each season on radio stations throughout North America and Europe. Th e Cleveland Orchestra was founded in 1918 by a group of local citizens intent on creating an ensem-ble worthy of joining America’s top rank of symphony orchestras. Over the next decades, the Orchestra grew from a fi ne regional organization to one of the most admired symphonic ensembles in the world. Seven music directors (Nikolai Soko loff , 1918–1933; Artur Rodzinski, 1933–1943; Erich Leins dorf, 1943–1946; George Szell, 1946–1970; Lorin Maazel,
1972–1982; Christoph von Dohnányi, 1984–2002; and Franz Welser-Möst, since 2002) have guided and shaped the ensemble’s growth and sound. Touring perfor-mances throughout the United States and, beginning in 1957, to Europe and across the globe have confi rmed Cleveland’s place among the world’s top orchestras. Year-round performances became a reality with the fi rst festival season at Blossom Music Center in 1968, presented at an award-winning, purpose-built outdoor facility lo-cated just south of the Cleveland metropolitan area near Akron, Ohio. Today, tour-ing, residencies, radio broadcasts, and recordings provide access to the Orchestra’s music-making to a broad and loyal constituency around the world.

Capriccio Italien, Opus 45composed 1880
A S T H E Y E A R 1 8 7 9 came to an end, Tchaikovsky refl ected that he was for the fi rst time a “free man,” having quit his teach-ing position at the Moscow Conservatory, which had become a great burden to him, and having recovered, as far as recovery could go, from the trauma of his failed marriage. He at least knew that he no longer had to imagine marriage to be a solution to his uneasy social position. He did not come out, as we would term it, but he had convinced himself that he had no choice but to be himself and follow his own instincts, not those of a disapproving society. He was also completely free to indulge his unrelenting urge to travel, both within and outside of Rus-sia, and with performances of his music becoming ever more frequent at home and abroad, his income was steady enough to provide the means to go where he liked at will. One symptom of this peace of mind was the composition of the Capriccio Italien, a work which for once conveys no emo-tional turmoil but merely puts on record his aff ection for Italy and his skill at putting together tunes in brilliant orchestral col-ors. Having completed a draft of the Second Piano Concerto, he left for Rome on December 17, 1879, intending to spend several months there. At fi rst, he and his brother Modest enjoyed the

Nationalism&MusicT H I S W E E K E N D ’ S C O N C E R T S off er some superb examples of picture painting in sound — enlivened with rhythms and melodic ideas from the warm sunshine and fl owing waters of Italy and Spain. Four works, written between 1880 and 1940, aff ord us a variety of musical views, one each by an Italian and a Spaniard, along with visits to both countries through the eyes (and ears) of Russian composers enthralled by their own experiences in the Mediterranean. Cleveland Orchestra Miami’s principal guest con-ductor Giancarlo Guerrero leads the concerts, joined by guitar soloist Miloš Karadaglić, whose exciting new recording of Joaquín Rodrigo’s bril-liant Concierto de Aranjuez has been well-received around the world.

treasures of the city and he had no will to compose, but within a month he was so struck by the propensity of Italians to sing everywhere that the idea of a composition came to him: “Yes-terday I heard a delightful folksong which I shall certainly use,” he wrote to Madame von Meck, and he later explained that he wanted to write something similar to Glinka’s Spanish pieces. “I have already completed the sketches for an Italian fantasia on folk tunes for which I believe a good future may be predicted. It will be eff ective, thanks to the delightful tunes which I have suc-ceeded in assembling partly from anthologies, partly through my own ears on the streets.” Th e orchestration was done in May, and soon Tchaikovsky began to wonder whether the piece was worthy of him, betray-ing the familiar self-doubt that followed the composition or performance of almost all his pieces. He need not have wor-ried about its success, for it was rapturously received in both Moscow and St. Petersburg, and has always remained popular. It was not intended to be a personal statement of any kind, al-though we are fully aware of the composer’s aff ection for these melodies and for the country where he heard them. Only one of the melodies, the closing Tarantella, has been identifi ed — it is a tune known in Italy as the Cicuzza, and Modest reported that the opening bugle call (which returns later in the piece) was heard from the barracks next to their hotel. Whether Tchaikovsky adopted or merely adapted the other melodies from tunes he had heard on the streets cannot be confi rmed, but the Italian spirit is unmistakable. Glinka’s two pieces, Capriccio brillante on Spanish themes and Recuerdos de Castilla, also known as the Second Spanish Overture, composed in 1848, were Tchaikovsky’s direct mod-els, although he scarcely needed a model on which to base the alternation of slow and fast melodies, the variety of keys and moods, and the rousing character of the fi nal pages. Aft er the bugle call, the opening melody is gloomy and austere, allevi-ated by the best-known melody from the piece, presented by two oboes. Th is comes back later in a more pompous form, and the riotous ending depicts the Roman carnival, a scene which Tchaikovsky witnessed that year and which was similarly evoked by Berlioz in his brilliant 1844 overture of that name.

Tchaikovsky wrote his “Ital-ian Capriccio” in Rome in January and February, 1880, and revised it in Russia in May of the same year. The work was premiered in Mos-cow on December 18, 1880, under the direction of Nikolai Rubinstein. Capriccio Italien runs about 15 minutes in performance. Tchai kovsky scored it for 3 fl utes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 cornets, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, percussion, harp, and strings. The Cleveland Orchestra fi rst played this work at a Popular Concert in Masonic Auditoirum in February 1920, under founding music direc-tor Nikolai Sokoloff .

J O A Q U Í N R O D R I G O , affl icted with blindness since the age of three, was blessed with a long life and a stunning success early in his career. Th e Concierto de Aranjuez was not his fi rst work, but it was his fi rst concerto. Th e warmth of its reception in Barcelona in 1940 sustained Rodrigo through all the later years in which he wrote great quantities of music but never equaled the impact of this now-famous concerto. Like that of many Spanish composers of the early 20th century, his music was untouched by the diff erent waves of modernism that swept over European music, and he composed to the end of his life in a style that, with rare exceptions, would not have seemed strange to the 19th-century sensibilities of Rimsky-Korsakov or any of the non-Spanish composers who adopted Spanish fi gurations and dance rhythms in their own music. Like Albéniz, Falla, and many other Spanish composers, Rodrigo studied in France, taking lessons from Dukas (Mes-siaen’s teacher) and Maurice Emmanuel — and he was still living in France in 1939 when he composed the Concierto de Aranjuez. He shortly had to return to Madrid, which he made his home for the rest of his life. He later wrote concertos for two guitars and for four guitars, as well as concertos for piano, violin, fl ute, cello, and harp. His output for orchestra, piano, solo guitar, and voice is very extensive, although he never ven-tured into opera. Th e concerto is named aft er the royal palace at Aranjuez (pictured below), near Madrid, built by Philip II and expanded

in the 18th century with extensive gardens (above). Rodrigo wanted his concerto to evoke “memories of earlier times, and of the lovely gardens of Aranjuez with their fountains, trees, and birds.” He also mentioned the fragrance of the magnolias, which would particularly inspire a blind composer. It is not fanciful to hear the birds and fountains in some of the fi guration in the concerto, and in the last movement, which is not a helter-skelter fi nale but a gentle movement, marked with a tempo of Allegro gentile, fi lled with teasing lopsided rhythms, in which he recalls the courtly dances that the palace would have played host to. Th e guitar is not a loud instrument, and it can be upstaged by an orchestra, however small. Th e composer has taken care to let the guitar be heard, with a number of striking passages on its own. Th e orchestra is only heard at full throttle when the guitar is resting. Th e success of the concerto, especially its expressive slow movement, is world-wide. Suffi cient evidence comes merely by mentioning the innumerable jazz versions, including those by the MJQ and Miles Davis. When asked if he could explain the concerto’s astonishing success, Rodrigo simply replied: “To be honest, I don’t know. If I did know, I would have discovered the secret of success itself.” —Hugh Macdonald © 2014
Rodrigo wrote this concerto for guitar and orchestra in 1939, naming it after the Palace Aranjuez near Ma-drid. It was fi rst performed on November 9, 1940, with Orquesta Filarmónica de Barcelona conducted by César Mendoza Lasalle, with Sanz de la Maza as the soloist. This concerto runs nearly 25 minutes in performance. Rodrigo scored it for 2 fl utes and piccolo, 2 oboes and english horn, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trum-pets, and strings, plus the solo guitar. The United States pre-miere of this work was given by The Cleveland Orchestra in November 1959, with Robert Shaw conducting and Rey de la Torre as soloist.

Miloš KaradaglićClassical guitarist Miloš Karadaglić from Montenegro saw his international ca-reer leap forward with the release earlier this year of his Deutsche Grammophon recording of Rodrigo’s iconic Concierto de Aranjuez, which serves on the album as the starting point for a journey across the Spanish landscape, paying tribute to great music and master musicians. He is making his Cleveland Orchestra debut with this weekend’s concerts here in Miami. His fi rst solo album was released in 2011, followed by impressive performances over the next two seasons across Europe, North America, Asia, and Australia. “Part of the rea-son Karadaglić has such a large following” commented the Western Australian “is his ability to straddle both hardcore classical and pop classical camps.” Mr. Karadaglić’s passion for the guitar is matched with a clear sense of how to bring the instrument across in perfor-mance — whether for an audience of thousands in London’s Royal Albert Hall or an intimate chamber music performance for just 100 people. He enjoys performing in the major con-cert halls as much as in non-traditional venues including New York’s Le Poisson Rouge, London’s Camden Round-house, and Deutsche Grammophon’s Yellow Lounge club nights in London, Ber-lin, Amsterdam, Madrid, Seoul, New York, L.A., and Miami. His line-up of albums on Deutsche Grammophon now includes both solo work and concertos. He is playing Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez in debuts with some of the world’s fi nest ensembles this season, including his appearance here in Miami with Th e Cleveland Orchestra. Performances continue across three con-tinents, including solo and orchestral engagements in Lisbon, Madrid, London, Paris, Rome, Milan, Miami, Atlanta, Tokyo, Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong. Th is year has also witnessed the launch of a new exclusive watch that Mr. Karadaglić designed for the luxury Swiss watchmaker Raymond Weill, with pro-ceeds from the special edition going to Miloš’s chosen charity — the Mladost Orphanage in Bijela. Montenegro’s only orphanage, Mladost cares for up to 160 children aged between one month and 18 years old from diff erent backgrounds, including those who were orphaned during the Balkan upheaval. In addition to his charitable work, Miloš Karadaglić is a passionate sup-porter of music education. Born in Montenegro in 1983, he fi rst started playing the guitar at the age of 8. When he was 16, he was admitted on scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music and moved to London, where he continues to live while keeping close ties with his family and homeland. He plays a 2007 Greg Smallman guitar, kindly lent to him by Paul and Jenny Gillham.

R E S P I G H I ’ S F I R S T I M P O R T A N T orchestral work was a “Sinfonia drammatica” (1914), unashamedly modeled on Rich-ard Strauss’s big tone poems. Th is was followed by Fountains of Rome in 1916, perhaps his most impressive work, the fi rst in a cycle of three symphonic poems on the theme of Rome. Th e later ones were Pines of Rome (1924) and Roman Festivals (1928). Respighi had a special gift for illustrative — almost vi-sual — music, being himself most responsive to the sights and sounds around him, and having a superb feeling for orchestral color. Th is music was written at a time when huge orchestras were still a novelty, and the scintillating sounds to be had from high percussion such as glockenspiel and celesta in combina-tion with violin harmonics were brilliantly appropriate for the sort of “open-air” portraits that Respighi liked to paint. He had once been a student in St. Petersburg, working with the master orchestrator Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov. Later, he feasted on the scores of Strauss and Ravel, whose example he was never ashamed to admit. And, in turn, a generation of late Romantic composers were to learn a great deal from Respighi, especially when the cinema off ered a new medium for richly illustrative music. Th is Italian music creator always retained a childlike sense of wonder at the world around him, as we can hear in these fi nely craft ed scores. Living and working in Rome, Respighi felt a natural bond with the ancient and modern features of the city. Fountains of Rome is a guided tour around four of the city’s most famous fountains, structured and balanced like a four-movement suite or symphony. Th e tour is spaced across a single day, from dawn to twilight, suggesting appropriate times of day for the contem-plation of each fountain and its setting within the landscape or townscape. At dawn, we visit the Valle Giulia, where (according to Respighi’s notes) cattle are seen grazing in the damp mist. Respighi’s fondness for modal music, whether from plain-chant or from folk music, is in evidence here, and the fl ow of water from the fountain is heard almost throughout, either on murmuring strings or on a quietly hissing cymbal. Listen for echoes from Strauss’s opera Der Rosenkavalier! Each movement follows directly aft er the one before, and

so it is suddenly morning, now in the city, at the fountain of the Tritone sculpted by Bernini in the 17th century. Th e center of the fountain is a massive sculpture of the sea-god Triton, who holds a large conch to his lips on muscular arms. Th e music is menacing at fi rst, with water cascading down from the conch, but it soon becomes playful, as naiads are imagined dancing and playing in the water. Th is is the musical “scherzo” of the piece. Distant trumpets lead into the fountains of Trevi at midday. Th is is the most famous of Rome’s fountains, with its elaborate sculpted backdrop and the popular tradition of throwing coins in the water. Th e triumphal character of the music is suggested by the image of Neptune’s chariot riding on the water and even-tually passing into the distance. Th e model here is the battle music in Strauss’s A Hero’s Life [Ein Heldenleben], but without any implication of actual confl ict. Finally, it is the close of day, and we end in an almost mystical mood at the Villa Medici, the grand house on a hill overlooking the city, as the light fades. Th e music itself dis-solves into the sound of birds and distant bells, giving way to the silence of the night.

Respighi wrote his sym-phonic poem Fontane di Roma (“Fountains of Rome”) in 1915-16. It was premiered in Rome on March 11, 1917, at the Teatro Augusteo under the direction of Antonio Guarnieri. Fountains of Rome runs about 15 minutes in performance. Respighi scored it for 3 fl utes, piccolo, 3 oboes, english horn, 3 clarinets, bass clarinet, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, 2 harps, celesta, piano, op-tional organ, and strings.

I N H I S E A R LY Y E A R S as an offi cer in the Russian Imperial Navy, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov sailed to London, New York, and South America. And on the return voyage, in November 1864, his ship, the Almaz, spent a few days in the Spanish port of Cadiz. Whether or not he picked up any snatches of Span-ish dances during his stay (his autobiography My Musical Life doesn’t tell us), he had a Russian precedent for adopting Span-ish idioms in the form of Mikail Glinka’s Capriccio brillante on Spanish themes, which had also served Tchaikovsky in fashion-ing his Capriccio Italien. Rimsky-Korsakov was also familiar with Lalo’s and Bizet’s pieces utilizing Spanish fl avors. His fi rst plan was for a fantasia on Spanish themes for violin, but in the fallow period he experienced in the early 1880s that work was never written. In February 1887, his friend Alexander Borodin died, leaving the opera Prince Igor unfi n-ished, so Rimsky-Korsakov and his young student Alexander Glazunov teamed up to complete it. Th is admirable goal awoke Rimsky’s muse, and in the next two years he composed three major orchestral works of his own — the Capriccio espagnol, Scheherazade, and the Russian Easter Overture. Th e Capriccio was quickly fi nished that summer and performed for the fi rst time in December of the same year. Th e fi rst rehearsal was interrupted again and again by the applause of the orchestra, who were thrilled by the brilliance of the writing and the energy of the music. With his custom-ary cool detachment, Rimsky-Korsakov later pointed out that the Capriccio is not a “magnifi cently orchestrated piece.” It is, rather, a “brilliant composition for the orchestra.” He went on to guide the listener: “Th e change of timbres, the felicitous choice of melodic shapes and fi gurations, exactly suiting each kind of instrument, brief virtuoso cadenzas for solo instruments, the rhythm of the percussion instruments, etc., constitute here the very essence of the composition and not its garb or orchestration.” Ravel was later to say something similar about his own Boléro being a technical exercise, not a real composition, and Rimsky-Korsakov similarly prided himself on his technique, especially since he had outgrown the exhortation of his fel-low members of Russia’s “Mighty Five” composers to despise technique as “too German.” Th is is also what made Rimsky-

Korsakov a great teacher (as Respighi was soon to learn). Th e origins of the Capriccio espagnol as a violin piece are evident in the frequent violin solos and the busy activity of the violin sections. Section players have plenty of double-stopping [playing two notes at once by bowing across two strings], with the shrill sound of E strings constantly heard in the opening Alborada section. Th e Variazioni section introduces Rimsky’s gift for elegant melody at a slow tempo, presented by four horns and taken up by the strings. Horns (brass and english) con-tribute their characteristic entries. Th e Alborada returns, slightly altered, still bright and brisk, then the Scena e canto gitano opens with free-tempo cadenzas for four horns, then solo violin, then fl ute, clarinet, and harp, and then closes with a furious dance with much stamping of Spanish gypsy feet. Th is leads directly into the Fandango as-turiano in which the tune is repeated many times in varying contexts, and the whole piece closes with the Alborada again, now orchestrated with even more panache than before.

He is a noted authority on French music. He has written books on Beethoven, Berlioz, Bizet, and Scriabin.
Rimsky-Korsakov wrote his Capriccio espagnol [“Span-ish Capriccio”] in the summer of 1887. It was fi rst per-formed in St. Petersburg on October 31, 1887, conducted by the composer. The work runs about 15 minutes in performance. Rimsky-Korsakov’s score calls for 2 fl utes, piccolo, 2 oboes, english horn, 2 clari-nets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion (side drum, bass drum, cym-bals, triangle, tambourine, castanets), harp, and strings. The Cleveland Orchestra fi rst played Capriccio espag-nol in February 1920, during the Orchestra’s second sea-son. It has been presented frequently since that time.

WHAT THE MEDIA IS SAYING . . .
“The only thing more delightful than an evening of music penned by preeminent Vien-nese composers such as Schubert, Korngold, and Johann Strauss, is having an Austrian conductor rendering them at the helm of The Cleveland Orchestra. . . . Miami has been the winter home of The Cleveland Orchestra for the past eight years. . . . Welser-Möst collaborates with his orchestra, often speaking elaborately with them in rehearsals about precision and the contrary. He does not concern himself with keeping the beat constantly, but is always attentive; he places a lot of trust in his players, who are obvi-ously deserving of his trust, becoming more involved as the dynamics and aesthetic of the music require. . . . The Cleveland Orchestra completed the evening with the Overture to Die Fledermaus, every player on point, from the variety of tempos that adorned the opening to the grand theme running through the lower strings into the full orchestra. The strings were glorious amidst the brass and wind interplay. The oboe (Frank Rosenwein) rendered the romantic center with sensitivity. The engine revved up, returned to the grand theme, and sprinted to the fi nish line, every note a treasure. The hall was spinning as cheers from the audience accompanied their fi ve-minute standing ovation. It couldn’t have been better.” —MiamiArtZine, January 2014
“While the music of Richard Strauss has long been a specialty of the house for The Cleveland Orchestra, rarely heard Debussy and a stunning performance of a landmark Stravinsky score took top honors at the second program of the Clevelanders’ annual Mi-ami residency at the Arsht Center. Acclaimed British baritone Simon Keenlyside added some vocal Strauss to a program that spanned the fi nal decade of the 19th century and the early years of the 20th. . . . The premiere of Stravinsky’s Le Sacre du Printemps [“The Rite of Spring”] created a riot and scandal in 1913 and, over one hundred years later, the score’s raw harmonies and harsh dissonances still pack a wallop. Instead of a coolly cerebral reading or ultra brilliant traversal, Franz Welser-Möst approached the score as theater music — highly colored and rhythmically alert. John Clouser’s strongly articu-lated, shapely bassoon solo preceded the onset of churning, primitive rhythms, given distinctly Russian fl avoring by Welser-Möst. The fi red-up brass and percussion were in top form and the entire ensemble snapped to the myriad changes of meter and pulse. In the opening of Part II, a mix of misty harmonies and languid Russian soulfulness, the depth and luster of the massed strings took full fl ight. Welser-Möst whipped up a frenzy in the fi nal sacrifi cial dance. A wonderfully supple play of dynamics and instrumental textures marked this freshly minted reading of a 20th-century masterwork.
