To make a gift, visit cso.org/makeagift or call 312-294-3100.

We are pleased to welcome you to Symphony Center during this festive time of year, and delighted that so many choose to celebrate the season with music. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, and artists on the Symphony Center Presents series give us the gift of music performed at the highest level year round, and for this we are truly grateful.

In early January, Zell Music Director Riccardo Muti leads the Orchestra on its sixty-second international tour, this time to Cologne, Vienna, Luxembourg, Paris, Naples, Florence, Milan, and Lugano to present works by Mendelssohn, Dvořák, Prokofiev, and Hindemith. The tour also includes two performances of Verdi’s Requiem at the Musikverein in Vienna as part of a series of special concerts honoring that venerable hall’s 150th anniversary. It is a great pleasure to see our beloved orchestra greeted with enthusiasm at home and abroad.

Thanks to the support of over 10,000 donors who contribute to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association each season, the CSO continues to serve as a cultural ambassador for the city of Chicago. We very much hope that you consider supporting the CSOA by making a gift to the Annual Fund, enabling you to become an integral part of our ongoing pursuit of artistic excellence, the devel-opment of new audiences, innovative education and community programs, and sharing music with audiences in Chicago and around the world. Your support also ensures that the important work of the CSOA continues for generations to come.

On behalf of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Chicago Symphony Chorus, Civic Orchestra of Chicago, Negaunee Music Institute, our trustees, volunteers, administration, and above all, the many people whose lives are enriched each year through music, we thank you for your support.

We send our warmest wishes for a music-filled, happy, and healthy new year and look forward to seeing you at Symphony Center soon.

No. 2: World PremieresIntroducing new music to CSO audiences has been an important part of Riccardo Muti’s artistic legacy as music director. With the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, he has conducted twelve world premieres to date by CSO Mead Composers-in-Residence and distinguished American and international composers. He will conduct two new CSO commissions during the spring of 2020. Many of these commissions have been concertos featuring members of the Orchestra, reflecting Muti’s great confidence in their abilities

as soloists. Having studied composition himself for ten years, Muti has the utmost respect for composers: “I approach music of the classical period—baroque, modern, romantic, contemporary—always in the same way, with the same seriousness,” he says. “The moment of truth comes when what the composer has sought is coming to life in the performance.”

Bernard Rands’s Danza Petrificada received its world premiere on May 5, 2011. Muti and the Orchestra took the work on tour to Europe, to cities including Lucerne, Salzburg, Luxembourg, Paris, and Vienna, the following summer.

The CSO’s music director position is endowed in perpetuity by a generous gift from the Zell Family Foundation. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra is grateful to Bank of America for its generous support as the Maestro Residency Presenter.

On January 30, 2014, Riccardo Muti conducted Giovanni Sollima’s Antidotum Tarantulae XXI, Concerto for Two Cellos and Orchestra, with the then Judson and Joyce Green Creative Consultant Yo-Yo Ma and the composer as soloists. The idea for the commission came from both Muti and Ma. Muti was already familiar with

Sollima’s music, having commissioned and premiered two earlier works by the composer: Tempeste e ritratti at the Teatro alla Scala in 2001, and Passiuni at the Ravenna Festival in 2008.

Pulitzer Prize–winning composer Jennifer Higdon recalled Muti’s con-cise advice to her when she received her commission for the CSO’s low brass section: “ ‘Write these guys a good concerto.’ I said, ‘Yes, sir!’ ” Muti conducted the premiere of Higdon’s Low Brass Concerto on February 1, 2018, and then took the work on tour, performing it in New York at Carnegie Hall; in Naples and West Palm Beach, Florida; and Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

CSO Viola Max Raimi’s score, composed at the request of Riccardo Muti, was specifically written for his colleagues in the Orchestra. Raimi was acutely aware, as he was composing the pages of his Three Lisel Mueller Settings, of creating music for the people who sit around him day after day in rehearsal and in concerts. Each movement featured a different colleague, including Principal Clarinet Stephen Williamson, Principal Bassoon Keith Bunke, and Principal Bass Alexander Hanna. Muti conducted the premiere with the CSO and mezzo-soprano soloist Elizabeth DeShong on March 22, 2018.

6 CSO.ORG

me ad composers-in-residenceIn October 2009, Riccardo Muti, then music director designate, outlined several initiatives for his tenure. One of them was to appoint CSO Mead Composers-in-Residence who would act as advocates within the Chicago community to further the understanding and appreciation of all music. He named Mason Bates and Anna Clyne to two-year terms beginning in 2010, which were later extended through the 2014–15 season. In 2015, he appointed Samuel Adams and Elizabeth Ogonek to three-year residencies. During their time with the CSO, each of the composers had multiple works conducted by Muti, including CSO commissions, bringing these emerging composers to international attention. In 2018, Muti appointed Missy Mazzoli, whose CSO-commissioned work Orpheus Undone receives its world premiere with Muti and the Orchestra in April 2020.

In addition to writing her CSO commission, Missy Mazzoli curates the CSO’s MusicNOW series. She is seen here performing her arrangement of music by Meredith Monk, entitled Passage, What Does It Mean?, with CSO musicians at the May 20, 2019, MusicNOW concert.

Two CSO Resound releases feature CSO-commissioned works by Mead Composers-in- Residence Anna Clyne and Mason Bates conducted by Muti and performed live by the CSO. The first includes Bates’s Alternative Energy and Clyne’s Night Ferry. The second record-ing is of Bates’s Anthology of Fantastic Zoology, which was dedicated to Muti at the conclu-sion of the composer’s residency.

No. 3: Concertos with Orchestra MembersRiccardo Muti has an exceptional bond with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. In an interview with Scholar-in-Residence and Program Annotator Phillip Huscher last season, Muti noted that when he returned to conduct the CSO in 2007, “the way they responded to my musical ideas and the sense of family that we immediately created together pushed me to accept this very prestigious commitment.” One way of showing his great respect for their talents has been to invite members of the Orchestra to perform con-certos at Orchestra Hall and on tour. Moreover, as was noted earlier, many of these concertos have been CSO commissions. Here are some highlights from the nearly twenty works featuring CSO members as soloists that Muti has conducted during his tenure.

“We’re the luckiest musicians on the planet to be in the CSO and to have him as the music director. There’s nothing like it anywhere; there’s nothing like him anywhere. With this unit, everything is at the highest possible level. I’m confident that, with him, this piece is going to be a hit,” said CSO Bass Trombone Charles Vernon in preparation for the world premiere of Higdon’s Low Brass Concerto on February 1, 2018.

World Premiere by Mason Bates Blends Music and Digital Animation

I t has been more than twenty years since the Chicago Symphony Orchestra teamed up with Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and the gang

to provide the soundtrack to Walt Disney’s Fantasia 2000, for which the CSO earned a Grammy Award nomination. The CSO will again cross paths with cutting-edge technology in the world premiere and CSO co-commission of Mason Bates’s Philharmonia Fantastique: The Making of the Orchestra. Bates, the CSO’s Mead Composer-in-Residence from 2010 to 2015, cocreated the piece with award-winning writer and director Gary Rydstrom and story artist and

animator Jim Capobianco. This program will run as part of the CSO School and Family Concerts series, March 26–28, 2020, under the direction of Edwin Outwater.

The commission is in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the CSO’s series for children that began during the 1919–20 season, established by the Orchestra’s second music director, Frederick Stock. This program-ming continues today along with other exten-sive educational and community-engagement programming produced by the Negaunee Music Institute.

NEGAUNEE MUSIC INSTITUTE AT THE CSO

Philharmonia Fantastique is a concerto for orchestra and animation with kinetic, cutting- edge, multimedia work that integrates film and prerecorded sound with live performance. The collaboration between the piece’s creators—innovators in the worlds of music, storytelling, and animation, respectively—similarly demon-strates this groundbreaking intersection of artistic disciplines. Bates’s work “flies inside musical instruments to explore the age-old connection of creativity and technology,” said the composer, “and the centennial of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s education programs is the perfect launching point for this multimedia work.”

In the new piece, an energetic, colorful sprite leads the audience on a tour through the music, taking listeners inside the instruments of the orchestra, exploring how individual instruments produce a sound, and how they work together in an ensemble. The story unfolds through music and visuals alone, creating a piece free of language barriers, accessible, and entertaining for audi-ences of all ages.

“The CSOA is very pleased to continue our relationship with Mason Bates through this new commission,” said CSOA President Jeff Alexander. “Mason is one of the most singular and creative voices in orchestral music today, and he is gifted with a collaborative spirit and a pas-sion for education and innovation. Philharmonia Fantastique presents a wonderful opportunity to welcome a new generation of listeners into the inspiring world of orchestral music, and we look forward to sharing this music with our audiences.”

“Discovering the music of Mason Bates during his time with the CSO was so joyful,” said Helen Zell, CSOA Board Chair and sponsor of the CSO commission. “His music takes audiences on jour-neys of the imagination, and I look forward to the ways that his new work will engage listeners.”

Philharmonia Fantastique: The Making of the Orchestra is co-commissioned by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, San Francisco Symphony, Dallas Symphony Orchestra, Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, and National Symphony Orchestra. The CSO commission is made possible through the generous support of Helen Zell.

Mason Bates currently serves as the first composer-in-residence of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. His opera The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs premiered at the Santa Fe Opera in 2017; the live recording of that production was recognized with Best Opera Recording at the 2019 Grammy Awards telecast.

Writer and director Gary Rydstrom has been nomi-nated for eighteen Academy awards, winning seven for his work in sound and sound editing in films, including Jurassic Park, Titanic, and Saving Private Ryan. Story artist and animator Jim Capobianco has worked on many major animated films, including The Lion King, Fantasia 2000, Finding Nemo, and Inside Out. He received an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay for Ratatouille.

CSO School and Family Concerts, presented by the Negaunee Music Institute, engage approximately 40,000 audience members each season. These affordable and age-appropriate concerts feature the extraordinary musicians of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra to inspire the next generation of audience members and music lovers.

CSOA’s Annual Symphony Ball September 21, 2019

O n the evening of September 21, Zell Music Director Riccardo Muti conducted the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s annual Symphony Ball concert. The program,

supported by presenting sponsor Northern Trust, included a rousing program featuring music by Verdi and Suppé, as well as Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet, Fantasy-Overture after Shakespeare. “A pianist of magisterial elegance, power and insight” (The New York Times), Leif Ove Andsnes performed Grieg’s magnificent Piano Concerto in A minor.

Gala patrons enjoyed a bustling preconcert reception, with full bar and hors d’oeuvres in Buntrock Hall. Red-carpet experience, photo wall, and performances by members of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago were presented on Michigan Avenue to welcome all concert attendees to Orchestra Hall.

The Women’s Board of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association proudly presented this year’s ball, “An Evening of Romance, Revelry, and Artistry,” utilizing the style of the Italian Renaissance. The event, co-chaired by Mimi Murley and Leslie Henner Burns and Trustee co-chair Terrence Truax, raised nearly $1.5 million for the organization.

These are the first Chicago Symphony Orchestra performances.

Michael Tippett was born in London, but spent most of his childhood in the Suffolk countryside. In 1919, Tippett’s father retired as a lawyer and his parents moved to the Continent to live and work in France and Italy, where Michael visited them during his school holidays. He credited those youthful stays abroad with his fluency in several languages. Tippett’s musical experience

during his early years was scanty, but his determination to be a composer was strong; he entered the Royal College of Music at eighteen. London’s rich musical culture was overwhelming for the young musician, “rather like a dam bursting,” he later recalled. He was exposed to much of the standard repertory for the first time during his student years, but was especially struck by the quartets and symphonies of Beethoven, whose influence on works throughout his career was profound. At the RCM, he studied composition with R.O. Morris and Charles Wood, who introduced him to the contrapuntal glories of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century English music. It was from that source, as well as from Beethoven’s works, that Tippett drew much of his inspiration and compositional technique.

On leaving school, Tippett taught French for a short time at a preparatory school in Surrey, but he soon left that position to dedicate himself full-time to music. He settled in Oxted, Surrey, finding the country more conducive to his creativity than the city. During the Great Depression, Tippett continued composing while gathering a reputation as a conductor for his work with the South London Orchestra, a group of unemployed players who had lost their jobs as theater pit musicians because of the hard economic times and the coming of sound to the movies. Several works of those years were withdrawn, notably a symphony in B-flat major, but it was with the String Quartet no. 1 (1935) and Piano Sonata no. 1 (1937) that his music first saw publication. The Concerto for Double String Orchestra (1939) brought him public notice, and the wartime premiere of the oratorio A Child of Our Time marked him as an important voice on the British musical scene. The works from those years show the influence of the rich counterpoint and rhythm of Elizabethan and Restoration music combined with a Beethovenian concern for form and thematic development.

COMMENTS

From 1940 to 1951, Tippett served as music director of Morley College in London, a position once held by Gustav Holst, where he performed a wide variety of works by such composers as Monteverdi, Purcell, and Stravinsky, as well as the London premiere of his Symphony no. 1 of 1945. Deeply con-cerned throughout his life with social and moral issues, Tippett was sentenced to prison for three months as a con-scientious objector in 1942, despite the pleading of Ralph Vaughan Williams. He remained an avowed pacifist.

The soaring lyricism, luxuriant coun-terpoint, and luminous orchestration that came to fruition in Tippett’s first opera, the visionary The Midsummer Marriage (1952), gave rise to a series of splendid works during the 1950s, notably the Fantasia concertante on a Theme of Corelli (1953), Piano Concerto (1955), and Second Symphony (1957). This last was a transitional composition with some indications of the more acerbic style Tippett found neces-sary for the dramatic requirements of his next opera, King Priam (1961). As with The Midsummer Marriage, King Priam spawned several import-ant works in a related style. The Second Piano Sonata (1962) and Concerto for Orchestra (1963) are similar in their use of “mosaic form,” in which non-developing blocks of musical material are juxtaposed and superimposed.

In his third opera, The Knot Garden (1970), Tippett began to combine elements of his earlier styles into a new, transcendent idiom, but one that, unlike the style used for the earlier operas, was freshly adapted to the requirements of each new composition. Though following closely on The Knot Garden, for example, the links between that opera and the Third Piano Sonata (1973) and the magnificent Third Symphony (1972) are tenuous, seemingly an attempt to allow those works to stand by themselves, as though each represented an independent style. The Ice Break

(1977), Tippett’s fourth opera, is filled with social commentary and references to pop culture. There followed a productive period during the next half-dozen years that saw the composition of the Triple Concerto for Violin, Viola, and Cello; Fourth Symphony (commissioned by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in commemoration of the ensemble’s eightieth anniversary, in 1971, but not premiered until 1977 under the direction of Sir Georg Solti); String Quartet no. 4; and The Mask of Time, a large-scale canvas for chorus and orchestra which the composer described as “a multiple panorama of experience.” His late works included the opera New Year, premiered in Houston in 1989, and Byzantium (on a text by W.B. Yeats), commissioned jointly for the 100th anniversaries of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Carnegie Hall in 1991.

In addition to his work as a composer, conduc-tor, and educator, Sir Michael was also known as an author (Moving into Aquarius), a musical scholar (several editions of works by Purcell), and a radio and television speaker. He served, as well, as director of the Bath Music Festival. For his services to music, he was made a Commander of the British Empire in 1959, given an honorary doctorate in music by Cambridge University in

COMMENTS

1964, knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1966, and cited by the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 1973.

T ippett wrote his Little Music in 1946 in observance of the tenth anniversary of the Reginald Jacques String Orchestra,

which gave the work’s premiere at Wigmore Hall, London, on November 9. The Little Music reflects Tippett’s thorough immersion in baroque music, as well as presaging the sensuous richness that marked his works beginning with The Midsummer Marriage, his principal creative occupation for the six years following the Little Music. The

Little Music is a four-movement suite of typical baroque genres, realized in Tippett’s distinctive twentieth-century idiom. The brief Prelude layers ornate flourishes upon a glowing chordal back-ground, and leads without pause to the Fugue, a thoroughly worked-out specimen of the venerable eighteenth-century form based on a dancing, sprung-rhythm subject. The Air is a chaconne, a set of variations built on a repeated melodic phrase, here initiated by the lower strings. The Finale brims with imitative counterpoint and rhythmic energy.

Piano Concerto No. 1 in C Major, Op. 15

This is not Beethoven’s first piano concerto. We are usually taught that the B-flat major concerto known as no. 2 is really no. 1, but that is not entirely accurate either. Sometime in 1784, when Beethoven was only fourteen years old, he wrote a piano

concerto in E-flat major. It is the sort of sprawling, self-important, and florid music that one might expect of a teenager (if teenagers regularly composed), and it is a greater testament to the young Beethoven’s apparent virtuosity as a pianist than to his promise as a composer. Although the full score is lost, we still have a copy of the piano part, including indications for orchestral cues. (The concerto was reconstructed by Willy Hess and performed for the first time in 1943.)

Jumping ahead nearly a decade, we come to the first works in the form that Beethoven wished

to acknowledge: a concerto in B-flat, probably begun before 1793, and the C major concerto on this program, which was composed in 1795. Both works were published in 1801, but in the reverse order. Although Beethoven played both of these concertos in public on several occasions, he was intensely self-critical, and, when it came time to publish them, he could think of nothing good to say about either one:

One of my first concertos [in B-flat] and therefore not one of the best of my compo-sitions is to be published by Hofmeister, and Mollo is to publish a concerto [in C major] which indeed was written later but which also does not rank among the best of my works in this form.

By 1801, Beethoven’s style had changed dramat-ically. He recently had begun a third piano con-certo in C minor, one of the works with which he

would establish his primacy in the new century. From our view-point, the Third Piano Concerto does not mark a critical advance over the first two, but, for Beethoven, every step forward was important and hard won. Later generations, in fact, would lump all three concertos together as “early period” works, although that does not mean lesser Beethoven.

Beethoven apparently was more interested in the C major concerto than he let on, because he composed three cadenzas for its first movement. All three are obviously later efforts, appar-ently dating from 1809, the time of the Emperor Concerto—his fifth and last piano concerto. By then, Beethoven realized that his worsening deafness would soon force him off the concert stage, and he wrote out definitive versions of the cadenzas that he pre-viously had improvised.

I t’s not difficult to understand why this music still held interest for Beethoven as late as 1809, for it is impressive material used with great mastery. Perhaps inspired by Mozart’s great

C major concerto, which he undoubtedly knew by the time this piece was written, Beethoven works on a larger canvas here than in the B-flat concerto. (He also adds clarinets, trumpets, and timpani to the orchestra.) Beethoven begins quietly, having already learned that a soft opening is often the quickest way to capture an audience’s attention. The music is robust and ener-getic, despite the dynamic, and it soon bursts forth with typical Beethoven fervor. There is some characteristic horseplay with the choice of keys—the second theme begins in faraway E-flat—and Beethoven borrows from Mozart the unexpected touch of allowing the piano to enter with music the orchestra has not already presented (although, unlike Mozart, he never returns to the piano’s new theme).


COMMENTS

The slow movement is longer than the cor-responding movement of any other concerto by Beethoven, but here he has learned how to move through slow music so that it never drags; the extra length is all bonus. The leisurely coda includes a poignant conversation between the piano and the first clarinet. A look through all

of Mozart and Haydn’s finales will not produce a jazzier ending than this boisterous rondo, full of pranks and surprises. The good time goes on for nearly six hundred measures without seeming a moment too long.

These are the first Chicago Symphony Orchestra performances.

The British Broadcasting Corporation, the BBC, was founded in 1922 under royal decree as a publicly funded service; it is the world’s oldest and largest national broad-casting organization. To celebrate its fortieth anniversary, the corporation sponsored a special concert at Royal Festival Hall in London on November 14, 1962, by the BBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by its

music director, Antal Dorati, which included twentieth-century masterworks from Hungary (Bartók), Austria (Schoenberg), Russia, and France (Stravinsky). To represent Great Britain, Michael Tippett was commissioned to write a short opening work. Dorati suggested a fanfare, but Tippett told him that “fan-fares are extremely difficult to make interesting,” and said he preferred to write something more substantive that would be “a mosaic of sonorities: rich and sonorous, brilliant, rhetorical, lyrical, distanced.” Since Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring would close the program, Tippett decided to use that work’s large brass and percussion sections—six horns, three trumpets, three trombones, two tubas, bells, snare drum, bass drum, castanets, tom-tom, woodblock, and cymbals—in his Praeludium. When Tippett called the work “a mosaic of sonorities,” he indicated its association of musical motives and expressive styles with each instrumental group: horns, lyrical; trumpets, dancing; trom-bones, proclamatory; tubas, independent and surprisingly agile; percussion, subdued, sometimes suggesting the ticking of a clock. Much of Praeludium is reflective (the trumpets often play muted—Tippett’s “distanced”) and it ends softly, prompting the composer’s biographer Ian Kemp to suggest that it is “more like an epilogue than a prologue.”

On December 17, 1808, a Viennese paper announced a concert to be given by Ludwig van Beethoven at the Theater an der Wien five days later: “All the pieces are of his own composition, entirely new, and not yet heard in public.” Although Beethoven’s publicist fudged that last detail ever so slightly, the list of world premieres lined up for one evening is astonishing: both the Fifth and

Sixth symphonies; the Choral Fantasy; and this work, Beethoven’s fourth piano concerto. (Those who didn’t like too much new and unfamiliar music at one sitting surely stayed home that night.) To round out this substantial program—long even by the generous standards of the nineteenth century—were three movements from the Mass in C, the concert aria Ah! perfido, and improvisa-tions at the keyboard by the composer.

“There we sat from 6:30 till 10:30,” the composer J.F. Reichardt later recalled, “in the most bitter cold, and found by experi-ence that one might have too much even of a good thing.” What should have been the greatest night of Beethoven’s career was ruined by too much music and too little heat. The performances were no doubt wretched, for rehearsals had gone badly. For one thing, Beethoven had so annoyed the members of the Theater an der Wien orchestra the previous month that they now insisted that he sit in the anteroom whenever he wasn’t needed at the keyboard and wait for the concertmaster to check with him between movements. Beethoven was so desperate to see this con-cert take place that he agreed. (It promised him both wide expo-sure and a nice profit.)

Not surprisingly, there wasn’t enough time for the orchestra to learn so much challenging new music.

COMMENTS

Reichardt remembered that “it had been found impossible to get a single full rehearsal for all the pieces to be performed, every one of them filled with the greatest difficulties.” The Choral Fantasy, which Beethoven composed at the very last moment (inexplicably thinking the concert lacked a blockbuster finish), was scarcely rehearsed at all. When it broke down completely during the performance, Beethoven started it over again from the beginning, making a very long evening even longer.

By all reports, Beethoven was a terrifically exciting pianist. He played with spectacular technical facility and tremendous emotional expression. According to his student Ferdinand Ries, he cared less about missed notes than character and expression: “Mistakes of the other kind, he said, were due to chance, but these last resulted from want of knowledge, feeling, or attention.” When Beethoven first stepped out onstage the night of December 22, 1808, it was to play this concerto in G major, and surely most members of the audience were surprised that he went straight to the keyboard and started to play. Anyone who troubled to buy a ticket to this concert would have known that a concerto begins with a long orches-tral exposition that gives you all the tunes before the soloist begins. But Beethoven had begun to examine every convention he inherited, to rethink every choice a composer could make. He realized that the only way to call greater attention to the soloist’s first line was to do something unexpected. In his Violin Concerto, first performed several months before, he had made the wait almost

interminable and then sneaked the violinist in, so that if you weren’t paying attention you missed it altogether. And here, he caught his audience completely off guard again by starting with the piano—alone. It’s a brilliant trick—so perfectly handled that it has hardly ever been imitated—and Beethoven quickly follows one masterstroke with another: the orchestra enters six bars later in the unexpected key of B major.

T he most remarkable thing about this bold and original opening is the sustained quiet dynamics (beginning piano and then

falling off to pianissimo), as if Beethoven were sharing confidences. A tone of moderation and nobility persists throughout the first movement, even in the most vigorous and brilliant passages; this, too, was unexpected. The movement is dominated throughout by a gentle version of the same four-note rhythm with which Fate aggressively knocks on the door of the Fifth Symphony. (The German theorist Heinrich Schenker, who always doubted that Beethoven had that image in mind when he wrote the symphony, wanted to know if the concerto depicted “another door on

which Fate knocked or was someone else knock-ing at the same door?”)

The slow movement has inspired many inter-pretations (Orpheus taming the Furies is the most familiar one), although Beethoven evidently was thinking of nothing more dramatic than the music itself when he wrote it. This is a conversation between the strings and the piano. The strings, playing in staccato octaves, begin assertively.

COMMENTS

The piano responds with rich, quiet chords—an answer that raises questions of its own. On it goes, back and forth—the piano steadfast, the strings gradually weakening. Sensing victory, the piano unleashes a brief, rhapsodic cadenza. Finally everyone plays together, sharing the same chords and the same rhythm. Over the last chord, the piano poses a brand-new question, to which Beethoven responds by launching into the finale without a pause. Our sense of boundaries is vague: in retrospect, the entire slow movement sounds like a long introduction to the finale. (That’s exactly the case in the Waldstein Sonata, written two years before.)

The finale itself doesn’t behave like one at first: it’s the only one in all of Beethoven’s concertos that doesn’t begin with the soloist stating the main theme, followed by vigorous confirmation from the full orchestra. Here Beethoven opens softly with the strings, in the wrong key. The piano takes the situation in hand with a brilliant, virtuosic new theme, and the rest of the movement is swift and thrilling. The orchestral sound is enriched by the introduction of trumpets and drums, and the

solo part effectively combines lyricism with bra-vura and elegance with wit.

After the concert, Beethoven boasted that “in spite of the fact that various mistakes were made, which I could not prevent, the public never-theless applauded the whole performance with enthusiasm.” Reichardt particularly remembered the “new pianoforte concerto of immense diffi-culty, which Beethoven executed astonishingly well in the most rapid tempos.” There’s no record of how much money Beethoven made that night. His days as a celebrity performer, however, were over. His hearing had recently gotten much worse, and it turned out that this was the last time he would appear in public as a soloist.

Sir Andrew Davis has served as music director and principal conductor of the Lyric Opera of Chicago since 2000. He began his tenure as chief conductor of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra in January 2013, and became conductor

laureate of the orchestra in 2020. Through his prolific recordings, many international tours, and guest appearances and relationships with several of the world’s finest orchestras and opera companies, Sir Andrew is one of today’s most recognized and acclaimed conductors.

In the 2019–20 season at Lyric Opera, Davis conducted Rossini’s The Barber of Seville and leads Tchaikovsky’s The Queen of Spades, a new production of Wagner’s Götterdämmerung, and three highly anticipated performances of the composer’s complete Ring cycle. This season also saw concerts with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra and the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington, D.C., (Handel’s Messiah in Davis’s own orchestration).

Davis’s career spans over forty years in which

he has been artistic leader at several of the world’s most distinguished opera and symphonic insti-tutions, including the BBC Symphony Orchestra; Glyndebourne Festival Opera; and the Toronto Symphony, where he serves as interim artistic director through 2020. In addition, he holds the honorary title of conductor emeritus of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic. He has led performances at many of the world’s most important opera houses, among them the Metropolitan Opera in New York, Teatro alla Scala in Milan, London’s Royal Opera House (Covent Garden), and the Bayreuth Festival; and the major companies of Munich, Paris, San Francisco, and Santa Fe. He also has appeared with virtually every other inter-nationally prominent orchestra, and all the major British orchestras.

A vast and award-winning discography docu-ments Davis’s artistry, with recent CDs including the works of Berlioz, Bliss, Elgar (winner of the 2018 Diapason d’Or de l’année in the Symphonic Music category), Finzi, Grainger, Delius, Ives, Holst, Handel (nominated for a Grammy Award in 2018 for Best Choral Performance), and York Bowen (nominated for a Grammy in 2012 for Best Orchestral Performance). His acclaimed record-ings with the BBC Symphony and Chorus cele-brating British composers from Teldec’s The British Line series was recently released as a sixteen-CD retrospective collection by Warner Classics. Davis currently records for Chandos Records, where he has been an exclusive artist since 2009.

Born in 1944, in Hertfordshire, England, Sir Andrew Davis studied at King’s College, Cambridge, where he was an organ scholar before taking up conducting.

Paul Lewis is regarded as one of the leading musicians of his generation. His cycles of core piano works by Beethoven and Schubert have received unanimous critical and public acclaim world-wide, and consolidated his reputation as one of the

world’s foremost interpreters of the central European classical repertoire. His numerous awards have included the Royal Philharmonic Society’s Instrumentalist of the Year, two Edison awards, three Gramophone awards, the Diapason d’Or de l’année, and the South Bank Show Classical Music Award. He holds honorary degrees from Liverpool, Edge Hill, and Southampton universities, and was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2016 Queen’s Birthday Honors.

He regularly appears as soloist with the world’s great ensembles, including the Berlin Philharmonic; the Boston Symphony Orchestra; London Symphony and London Philharmonic orchestras; Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra; NHK Symphony Orchestra–Tokyo; New York and Los Angeles philharmonics; and the Royal Concertgebouw–Amsterdam, Cleveland, Tonhalle Zurich, Leipzig Gewandhaus, Philharmonia–London, and Mahler Chamber orchestras. He has performed Beethoven’s concerto cycles with Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, the São Paulo State Symphony Orchestra, and the Royal Flemish Philharmonic Orchestra. Conductors with whom

he has worked include Daniel Harding, Andris Nelsons, Manfred Honeck, and Bernard Haitink.

The 2018–19 season saw the conclusion of a two-year recital series exploring connections between the sonatas of Haydn, the late piano works of Brahms, and Beethoven’s bagatelles and Diabelli Variations. He celebrates the 2020 Beethoven anniversary year with a recital pro-gram that includes the Diabelli Variations, Piano Sonata no. 13 in E-flat major (Quasi una fan-tasia), Piano Sonata no. 14 in C-sharp minor (Moonlight), and cycles of concertos by Beethoven in Tanglewood (Boston Symphony and Andris Nelsons), Erl (Salzburg Mozarteum and Andrew Manze), and at the Palau de la Musica Barcelona and Teatro Massimo in Palermo.

Paul Lewis’s recital career takes him to such venues as Royal Festival Hall in London, Alice Tully and Carnegie halls in New York, the Musikverein and Konzerthaus in Vienna, the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris, the Royal Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, and the Berlin Philharmonie and Konzerthaus. He also is a fre-quent guest at some of the world’s most presti-gious festivals, including Tanglewood; Ravinia; Schubertiade; Edinburgh; Salzburg; Lucerne; and the BBC Proms, where in 2010 he became the first to play a cycle of Beethoven’s piano concertos in a single season.

His multi-award-winning discography for Harmonia Mundi includes all of Beethoven’s piano sonatas, concertos, and the Diabelli Variations; Liszt’s B minor sonata and other late works; Schubert’s major piano works from the last six years of his life, including the three song cycles with tenor Mark Padmore; solo works by Schumann and Mussorgsky; and Brahms’s D minor piano concerto with the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra and Daniel Harding. Future record-ing plans include a multi-CD series of sonatas by Haydn, Beethoven’s bagatelles, and works by Bach.

Paul Lewis studied with Joan Havill at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London before going on to study privately with Alfred Brendel. He is coartistic director of Midsummer Music, an annual chamber music festival held in Buckinghamshire, England.

chicago symphony orchestraNow celebrating its 129th season, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra is consistently hailed as one of the world’s leading orchestras. In September 2010, renowned Italian conductor Riccardo Muti became its tenth music director. His vision for the Orchestra—to deepen its engagement with the Chicago community, to nurture its legacy while supporting a new generation of musicians, and to collaborate with visionary artists—signals a new era for the institution.

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

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

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

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

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

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

From 2006 to 2010, Bernard Haitink held the post of principal conductor, the first in CSO history. Pierre Boulez’s long-standing relation-ship with the CSO led to his appointment as principal guest conductor in 1995. He was named Helen Regenstein Conductor Emeritus in 2006, a position he held until his death in January 2016. Only two others have served as principal guest conductors: Carlo Maria Giulini, who began to appear in Chicago regularly in the late 1950s, was named to the post in 1969, serving until 1972; Claudio Abbado held the position from 1982 to 1985. Cellist Yo-Yo Ma served as the CSO’s Judson and Joyce Green Creative Consultant from 2010 to 2019. In this role, he partnered with Riccardo Muti, staff, and musicians to provide development for the Negaunee Music Institute at the CSO.

Mead Composer-in-Residence Missy Mazzoli was appointed by Riccardo Muti and began her two-year term in the fall of 2018. In addition to composing, she curates the contemporary MusicNOW series.

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

The Davee FoundationThe Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association (CSOA) is deeply grateful to The Davee Foundation for its many years of generosity. Gifts from The Davee Foundation have provided vital support for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and general operations, and have provided critical funding for the creation of innovative programming and establishment of strategic initiatives of the CSOA.

Founded by former CSOA Life Trustee, Ken M. Davee and his wife, Adeline Barry Davee, The Davee Foundation incorporated on November 5, 1964 as a not-for-profit family foundation, making annual year-end gifts to organizations they supported. Under the direction of Ken Davee’s second wife, Ruth Dunbar Davee, the Foundation became a leader in the philanthropic community throughout Chicago and beyond, providing significant grant funding in the fields of medicine, arts and culture, science, public affairs, and education.

The Davee Foundation dissolved in 2019, making final endowment grants to keep the memories of the Davees alive. The CSOA is greatly honored to be the recipient of a gift to its endowment, establishing the Ruth D. and Ken M. Davee Fund for Orchestral Excellence.
