FROM THE UM PRESIDENT
he University of Michigan (UM) would like to join the University Musical Society (UMS) in welcoming you to the 2002 2003 season. Additionally, we would like to thank you for your support of the performing arts. We are proud of the wonderful partner?ship we have developed with UMS and of our
role as co-sponsor and co-presenter of several events on this season's calendar. These events reflect the artistic beauty and passion that are integral to the human experience. They are also wonderful opportunities
for University of Michigan students and fac?ulty to learn about the creative process and sources of inspiration that motivate artists and scholars.
The current season marks the second resi?dency by the Royal Shakespeare Company of Stratford, England, which performs three plays in March: The Merry Wives of Windsor, Coriolanus, and Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children. UM and UMS co-presentations are not limited to theater, but also include per?formances by the Vienna Philharmonic, the Bolshoi Ballet, and a special event entitled "Evening at the Apollo," in which the best performing groups from Detroit and Ann Arbor are given a chance to compete for a 2__ slot at Harlem's Apollo Theater Amateur Night, where Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, Billie Holiday, and other legends of 20th-
century American music got their big breaks. As befits the educational missions of both the University and UMS, we should also recognize the co-sponsorship of educational program?ming involving, among others, the Abbey Theatre of Ireland, Grupo Corpo, Sekou Sundiata and creative co-sponsorship of presentations by the Hubbard Street Dance Company and the well-known female a cap-pella group Sweet Honey in the Rock.
Most significantly, I would like to thank the faculty and staff of UM and UMS for their hard work and dedication to making this partnership a success. UMS staff, in particular, work with the University's faculty and students to create learning opportunities for our campus, and in the case of the larger residencies, for the greater community.
The University of Michigan is pleased to support the University Musical Society during its 0203 season. We share the goal of making our co-presentations the type of academic and cultural events that benefit the broadest possible constituency.
Sincerely,
UW--
Mary Sue Coleman
President, University of Michigan
FROM THE UMS PRESIDENT
hank you for joining us for this UMS performance. We appreciate your support of the performing arts and of UMS, and we hope we'll see you at more of our programs this season. Check the complete listing of UMS's 20022003 events beginning on page 29 and on our website at www.ums.org.
We welcome UM President Mary Sue Coleman to the southeast Michigan com?munity and to membership on the UMS Board of Directors. The university from which President Coleman came to Michigan
has a distinguished record in its support of creative artists. During the Millennium season alone, while Dr. Coleman was president, the University of Iowa's Handier Auditorium premiered over 20 new works in music, dance, and theater, all of them commissioned by Hancher. This unprecedented level of support of creative artists by a university presenting organization captured the attention of the performing arts field worldwide and reinforced the idea that research in the performing arts is as important and as valid to a great university as is research in other fields. We thank Dr. Coleman and her predecessors Lee C. Bollinger and B. Joseph White for the extra?ordinary level of UM support for the second residency of the Royal Shakespeare Company March 1-16 and of eight other projects this season that offer special value to the University's mission of teaching, research, and service.
This season offers some special challenges for UMS with the closing of Hill Auditorium for restoration and renovation. With your understanding and support, we know we will
overcome these difficulties and have a success?ful season. As we await our reopening concert scheduled for January 2004, UMS is creating special opportunities for our patrons to see and hear world-renowned artists in outstand?ing venues in Detroit, Ypsilanti, and Ann Arbor. You won't want to miss the first southeast Michigan presentations of the Bolshoi Ballet November 20-24 or the February 27 return of the Vienna Philharmonic for the first time in the region since 1988. For many of our Detroit performances, UMS is offering transportation by luxury coach to our Ann Arbor patrons. And we urge you to bring the whole family to UMS's first event in Crisler Arena when the Boston Pops performs its Holiday Concert on December 8.
Yes, things will be different this season. The UMS staff is determined to do everything we can to make this season run as smoothly as possible for you and our other patrons. Please let us know if you have any questions or problems. Call our ticket office at 734.764.2538, now led by Ticket Services Manager Nicole Paoletti, successor to Michael Gowing, who retired August 30. You should also feel free to get in touch with me about anything related to UMS. If you don't see me in the lobby at our performances, you can send me an email message at kenfisch@umich.edu or call me at 734.647.1174.
Very best wishes,
Kenneth C. Fischer UMS President

ER FROM THE CHAIR
t is a pleasure to welcome you to this performance of the UMS 0203 season. With world-renowned performers, new community partnerships, and ever-expanding educational activities, our 124th season continues our commitment to artistic and educational excellence and our dedication to our audiences and extended com?munity. We are delighted that you are here to share in the excitement of the live performing arts.

In supporting UMS, they have pub?licly recognized the importance of the arts in our community and helped create new educational opportunities for students and adults of all ages and backgrounds. r9Hi???i:ligSill

HISTO
hrough an uncompromising commitment to Presentation, Education, and the Creation of new work, the University Musical Society (UMS) serves Michigan audiences by bringing to our community an ongoing series of world-class artists, who represent the diverse spectrum of today's vig?orous and exciting live performing arts world. Over its 123 years, strong leadership coupled with a devoted community has placed UMS in a league of internationally-recognized performing arts presenters. Indeed, Musical America selected UMS as one of the five most influential arts presenters in the United States in 1999. Today, the UMS seasonal program is a reflection of a thoughtful respect for this rich and varied history, balanced by a com?mitment to dynamic and creative visions of where the performing arts will take us in this millennium. Every day UMS seeks to cultivate, nurture, and stimulate public interest and participation in every facet of the live arts.
UMS grew from a group of local university and townspeople who gathered together for the study of Handel's Messiah. Led by Professor Henry Frieze and conducted by Professor Calvin Cady, the group assumed the name The Choral Union. Their first performance of Handel's Messiah was in December of 1879, and this glorious oratorio has since been per?formed by the UMS Choral Union annually.
As a great number of Choral Union members also belonged to the University, the University Musical Society was established in December 1880. UMS included the Choral Union and University Orchestra, and throughout the year presented a series of concerts featuring local and visiting artists and ensembles.
Since that first season in 1880, UMS has expanded greatly and now presents the very best from the full spectrum of the performing arts--internationally renowned recitalists and orchestras, dance and chamber ensembles, jazz and world music performers, and opera and theatre. Through educational endeavors, commissioning of new works, youth programs, artist residencies and other collaborative projects, UMS has maintained its reputation for quality, artistic distinction and innovation. UMS now hosts approximately 90 perform?ances and more than 150 educational events each season. UMS has flourished with the support of a generous community that this year gathers in 11 diverse venues in Ann " Arbor, Ypsilanti, and Detroit. .iHSm
While proudly affiliated with the University of Michigan, housed on the Ann Arbor campus, and a regular collaborator with many University units, UMS is a separate not-for-profit organ?ization that supports itself from ticket sales, corporate and individual contributions, foundation and government grants, special project support from UM, and endowment
Throughout its 123-year history, the UMS Choral Union has performed with many of the world's distinguished orchestras and conductors.
Based in Ann Arbor under the aegis of the University Musical Society, the 150-voice Choral Union is known for its definitive per?formances of large-scale works for chorus and orchestra. Nine years ago, the Choral Union further enriched that tradition when it began appearing regularly with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra (DSO). Among other works, the chorus has joined the DSO in Orchestra Hall and at Meadowbrook for sub?scription performances of Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms, John Adams's SB-Harmonium, Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, Orff's Carmina Burana, Ravel's Daphnis et Chloe and Brahms's Ein deutsches Requiem, and has recorded Tchaikovsky's The Snow Maiden with the orchestra for Chandos, Ltd.
In 1995, the Choral Union began accept?ing invitations to appear with other major regional orchestras, and soon added Britten's War Requiem, Elgar's The Dream of Gerontius, the Berlioz Requiem and other masterworks to its repertoire.
The Choral Union will open its upcom?ing season with performances of Mahler's Symphony No. 3 with the DSO, followed by a performance of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 with the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra. In December the chorus will present its 124th series of annual performances of Messiah, using the rarely-heard Mozart revision of Handel's great work. The Choral Union's sea?son will conclude in March with a pair of magnificent French choral works: Honegger's King David, accompanied by members of the Greater Lansing Symphony Orchestra, and Durufle's mystical Requiem, accompanied by organist Janice Beck.
The Choral Union's 0102 season includ?ed performances of Messiah, Ives's Symphony No. 4 with Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra and Brahms's Ein deutsches Requiem with Thomas Sheets conducting the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra, all in Hill Auditorium. To conclude its 123rd season, the Choral Union joined the DSO and Neeme Jarvi in three critically acclaimed performances of Beethoven's Missa Solemnis.
During the 20002001 season, the UMS Choral Union appeared in two series with the DSO. The season culminated in a perform?ance of Berlioz's Requiem with the Greater Lansing Symphony Orchestra, along with tenor Stanford Olsen and members of the UM School of Music Symphony Band in Hill Auditorium.
The Choral Union is a talent pool capa?ble of performing choral music of every genre. In addition to choral masterworks, the Choral Union has performed Gershwin's Porgy and Bess with the Birmingham-Bloomfield Symphony Orchestra, and other musical theatre favorites with Erich Kunzel and the DSO at Meadowbrook. The 72-voice Concert Choir drawn from the full chorus has performed Durufle's Requiem, the Langlais Messe Solennelle, and the Mozart Requiem. Recent programs by the Choral Union's 36-voice Chamber Chorale include "Creativity in Later Life," a program of late works by nine composers of all historical periods; a joint appearance with the Gabrieli Consort and Players; a performance of Bach's Magnificat, and a recent joint performance with the Tallis Scholars. ---------
Participation in the Choral Union remains open to all by audition. Composed of singers from Michigan, Ohio and Canada, members of the Choral Union share one common passion--a love of the choral art.

Crisler Arena
risler Arena, home to the Michigan Wolverine basketball teams, stands as a tribute to the great Herbert O. "Fritz" Crisler, Michigan's third all-time winning football coach. Crisler served 10 years as Michigan's football coach (1938-1947) and 27 years as athletic director (1941 -1968) of the University. The arena was designed by Dan Dworksky under the architectural firm of K.C. Black & C.L. Dworsky and opened in 1968. The event facility has a capacity of 13,609. g
While serving as a site of Big Ten Conference championship events, Crisler has also played host to popular acts such as Pearl Jam, Bill Cosby, the Grateful Dead, and even Elvis Presley during his final concert tour.
Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre
" otwithstanding an isolated effort to estab?lish a chamber music series by faculty and students in 1938, UMS regularly began presenting artists in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre in 1993, when Eartha Kitt and Barbara Cook graced the stage of the intimate 658-seat theatre for the 100th May Festival's Cabaret Ball. The superlative Mendelssohn Theatre has been the home of the UMS Song Recital series for the past eight years.
Michigan Theater
?he historic Michigan Theater opened
January 5, 1928 at the peak of the vaude?villemovie palace era. Designed by Maurice Finkel, the 1,710-seat theater cost around $600,000 when it was first built. As was the custom of the day, the theater was equipped to host both film and live stage events, with a full-size stage, dressing rooms, an orchestra pit, and the Barton Theater Organ. At its opening the theater was acclaimed as the best of its kind in the country. Since 1979, the theater has been operated by the not-for-profit Michigan Theater Foundation. ;.-
In the fall of 1999, the Michigan Theater opened a new 200-seat screening room addi?tion, which also included expanded restroom facilities for the historic theater. The gracious facade and entry vestibule was restored in 2000, and balcony restorations have been completed.
Power Center for the Performing Arts
The Power Center for the Performing Arts grew out of a realization that the University of Michigan had no adequate proscenium-stage theatre for the performing arts. Hill Auditorium was too massive and technically limited for most productions, and the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre too small. The Power Center was designed to supply this missing link in design and seating capacity.
In 1963, Eugene and Sadye Power, together with their son Philip, wished to make a major gift to the University, and amidst a list of University priorities was mentioned "a new theatre." The Powers were immediately inter?ested, realizing that state and federal government were unlikely to provide financial support for the construction of a new theatre. '
No seat in the Power Center is more than 72 feet from the stage. The lobby of the Power Center features two hand-woven tap?estries: Modern Tapestry by Roy Lichtenstein and Volutes by Pablo Picasso.
Rackham Auditorium
ixty years ago, chamber music concerts in Ann Arbor were a relative rarity, presented in an assortment of venues including Univer?sity Hall (the precursor to Hill Auditorium), Hill Auditorium, and Newberry Hall, the cur?rent home of the Kelsey Museum. When Horace H. Rackham, a Detroit lawyer who believed strongly in the importance of the study of human history and human thought, died in 1933, his will established the Horace H. Rackham and Mary A. Rackham Fund, which subsequently awarded the University of Michigan the funds not only to build the Horace H. Rackham Graduate School, which
houses the 1,129-seat Rackham Auditorium, but also to establish a $4-million endowment to further the development of graduate studies.
St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church
In 1950, Father Leon Kennedy was appoint?ed pastor of a new parish in Ann Arbor. Seventeen years later ground was broken to build a permanent church building, and on March 19, 1969 John Cardinal Dearden dedi?cated the new St. Francis of Assisi Church. Father James McDougal was appointed pastor in 1997.
St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church has grown from 248 families when it first started in 1950 to more than 2,800 today. The present church seats 900 people and has ample free parking. In 1994 St. Francis purchased a splen?did three manual "mechanical action" organ with 34 stops and 45 ranks, built and installed by Orgues Letourneau from Saint Hyacinthe, Quebec. Through dedication, a commitment to superb liturgical music and a vision to the future, the parish improved the acoustics of the church building, and the reverberant sanctuary has made the church a gathering place for the enjoyment and con?templation of sacred a cappella choral music and early music ensembles.
Ypsilanti Venues
EMU Convocation Center
n exciting new era in EMU athletics was set in motion in the fall of 1998 with the opening of the $29.6-million Convocation Center. The Barton-Malow Company along with the architectural firm Rossetti Associates of BirminghamThe Argos Group began con?struction on the campus facility in 1996. The Convocation Center opened its doors on December 9, 1998 with a maximum seating capacity of 9,510 for center-stage entertain-

Detroit Venues '"
r
Detroit Opera House
'he Detroit Opera House opened in April of 1996 following an extensive renovation by Michigan Opera Theatre. Boasting a 75,000-square-foot stage house (the largest stage between New York and Chicago), an orchestra pit large enough to accommodate 100 musicians and an acoustical virtue to rival the world's great opera houses, the 2,735-seat facility has rapidly become one of the most viable and coveted theatres in the nation. As the home of Michigan Opera Theatre's grand opera season and dance series, and through quality programming, partnerships and educational initiatives, the Detroit Opera House plays a vital role in enriching the lives of the community.
Orchestra Hall
rchestra Hall was dedicated in 1919 as the new home of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. In 1939, after the depression, the orchestra moved to the Masonic Temple Theatre and the facility was renamed the Paradise Theatre. The Paradise became one of the nation's most famous stages for African-American Jazz musicians (1941-1951).
In the late 1950s, the building was aban?doned and fell into disrepair. In 1964, it was headed for the wrecking ball, but local citizens rallied to save the great concert hall. DSO musicians and volunteers founded Save Orchestra Hall, Inc., to marshal citizen sup?port for the retention and restoration of the building to its former architectural grandeur.
In September 1989 the DSO returned to Orchestra Hall, now its permanent home, capping a multi-million-dollar restoration effort. i
In 1996, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra launched Orchestra Place, an $80-million development project on eight acres of land surrounding Orchestra Hall.
Burton Memorial Tower
"" een trom miles away, Burton Memorial
Tower is one of the most well-known University of Michigan and Ann Arbor land?marks. Completed in 1935 and designed by Albert Kahn, the 10-story tower is built of Indiana limestone with a height of 212 feet. UMS administrative offices returned to our familiar home at Burton Memorial Tower in August 2001, following a year of significant renovations to the University landmark.
This upcoming season marks the second year of the merger of the UMS Ticket Office and the University Productions Ticket Office. Due to this new partnership, the UMS walk-up ticket window is now conveniently located at the Michigan League Ticket Office, on the north end of the Michigan League building at 911 North University Avenue. The UMS Ticket Office phone number and mailing address remains the same.

Welcome to this UMS presentation. You are now part of the UMS family and one of the people who make this organization a success. Whether this is your first UMS performance or you have been attending for many years, I hope this is a special experience.
As an audience member, you may not know how many are involved in making this performance a reality. You see the ushers, you can imagine the production crew, you know someone had to make decisions about the program and negotiate contracts, and you know someone had to pay the stagehands. You or your child may have been the fortunate participant in one of our education programs. You purchased your ticket through the box office. Or perhaps UMS President, Ken Fischer, told you this is an artist not to miss.
You may not be aware of the many friends, donors, partners, corpo?rations, and foundations who, along with the State of Michigan and the University of Michigan, contribute to our success. Volunteers make up
our stellar board, led by Bev Geltner, and our budget and
finance committee members spend extraordinary effort conducting both shortand long-term financial planning to insure we are always on firm financial footing. The members of our advisory committee raise funds through the Ford Honors Program, the recent "treasures" sale, and the Bravo! cookbook, and usher at youth performances. The heads of corporations support programs because UMS makes it easier to recruit new employees to Ann Arbor. Individuals support a program because they
appreciate a particular artist or performance style, or they love the Takacs Quartet and Garrick Ohlsson. A foundation wants Detroit students to have access to the best in music, theater and dance.
We hope you continue to be part of the UMS family. The first step was purchasing your ticket, which supports 54 of the cost of presenting our season. The margin of excellence comes from your willingness to vol?unteer your time and contribute financially to UMS. Please join us in our commitment to continue the 124-year legacy.
For information regarding opportunities to be involved, I hope you will turn to page 45 in this program book.
Warm regards,
Susan McClanahan

The Art of the Now
"Urban Tap, a gathering of improvisational artists united by the universal language of rhythm, offers a natural ground for the medium of live video mixing. This intricate technological tool can become a musical instrument in its own right. The video montage, born live, creates a spontaneous composition of images, with its own melodic line and rhythm. It weaves mul?tiple layers of context, multi-dimensional perceptions
of the moment. It is 'visual music' and an integral part of the live experience.
Respect to the Urban Tap masters, from whom I learn more and more each day about the 'art of the now!'"
amango (Artistic Director, Didjeridoo, Drums, Spoken Word) is a dancer, musician and painter whose revolutionary approach to tap transforms his dance into music with a sharpened sense of style and awe-inspiring fluidity. Born in Cayenne, French Guiana, Tamango moved to Paris at age eight and began a formal education in art. He started tap dancing in his early 20s at the American Center in Paris and the Beaux Arts de Paris, which he left to join the university of the streets before moving to New York City. Tamango created Urban Tap in 1993, forming a group of like-minded, free-style performers who share a unique vision and deep passion for improvisation and rhythm at the heart of dance and music. Urban Tap has performed in clubs throughout New York City and made its theatrical debut at The Kitchen in 1999. The show captivated critics and the public and earned Tamango a New York Dance and Performance (Bessie) Award. In February 2001, Urban Tap made its off-Broadway debut with a three-week, sold-out run at the New Victory Theater. During the 0102 season, Urban Tap performed extensively throughout the US with engagements in 16 US cities that consistently attracted sold-out houses. The 0203 season introduces the work in Mexico, Australia, New Zealand and in Europe. In addition to his work with Urban Tap, Tamango has shared the stage with dance legends Jimmy Slyde, Gregory Hines, Chuck Green, Buster Brown and Lon
Chaney, and has collaborated with Japanese performance artist Min Tanaka, French choreographer Philippe Decoufle, jazz bassist Christian McBride, jazz pianist Barry Harris, Brazilian percussionist Cyro Baptista and jazz drummers Grady Tate, Roy Haynes and Billy Higgins.

'?LT
What Exactly Is Baroque Music ""'
. by Bernard Jacobson
. We all know what that familiar label, "baroque music," means. Or do we In the well-known progression, medieval-renaissance-baroque-classical-romantic-modern, the music of the baroque period (roughly from 1600 to 1750) is com?monly regarded as an apotheosis of regular?ity and emotional "cool." For people who grew up in the mid-20th century, the image that came first to mind was of a sort of musical sewing machine, with recurrent rhythmic patterns that dominated entire movements, and with clearly defined dynamics of comparable uniformity.
Yet if you turn to a dictionary for a def?inition of "baroque" you find something utterly different from this paradigm of unobtrusive good behavior. The French term "baroque" and its Italian equivalent
1 comes from the Portuguese word barroco, which denoted an irregular or bulbous pearl. "Irregularly shaped; whimsical, grotesque, odd," says one recent edition of the Oxford English Dictionary in defining the adjective "baroque," and it goes on to ascribe the sense of "grotesque or whimsical ornamentation" to the noun.
Which of these two vastly disparate
;views is correct It's true that baroque com?posers were writing before the development of the key system had brought a new explo?sive dramatic intensity to the forms we asso?ciate with the classical and romantic styles. To that extent, the "cool" view has its validi?ty. This is why contrast between inherently
uniform elements, rather than evolution from one shifting plane to another, charac-
call it "the music of being" as distinct from ?the classical and romantic "music of becom-
immobility, like Pachelbel's Canon, have come to constitute one popular image of the
musical baroque.
Yet there are more ways than one of being explosive. Those theorists-and even performers-who try to eradicate emotional expression, eccentric individualism, drama, and the other symptoms of humanity from baroque music seem to forget one basic fact: baroque music, like the styles that preceded and followed it, was composed and per?formed by emotive musicians of often sur?passing individualism and intensity of feel?ing. Take, as just one example, an eyewitness account of baroque "performance practice" found in a letter written in 1709:
I have never met any man that allowed his passions to carry him away so much while he was playing the violin as the famous Arcangelo Corelli, whose eyes will sometimes turn as red as fire, his countenance will be distorted, his eyeballs roll as if in agony, and he gives in so much to what he is doing that he does not look like the same man.
. This helps to explain why so many baroque instrumental works take the shape either of suites from theater pieces or of concertos-for the concerto is essentially drama both in nature and in form. It grew out of the canzone and other forms of early polyphony, it has close structural links with vocal music (particularly the aria), and its central concern is to explore the affectingly human interplay of the one and the many. The classical concerto, as it was developed by Mozart, and after him by Beethoven and Brahms, takes much of its power from the dynamic impulse of key contrast. But already in the work of the early Italian mas-ters-Corelli himself, Albinoni, Bonporti, Geminiani-the principle of opposing forces is the foundation of the form. And it is absolutely consistent with the dramatic nature of the concerto genre that it found room for the highly evocative extravagances of sets like Vivaldi's Four Seasons, designed to illustrate, in full musical technicolor, the
images of the changing year contained in four Italian sonnets. As Andrea Marcon has observed, "to be a true performer of The Four Sefl50is-indeed, of all Vivaldi-you must be like an actor interpreting the text."

Antonio Vivaldi_________
Born March 4, 1678 in Venice ?.??-.
Died July 28,1741 in Vienna ?,

Antonio Vivaldi, widely known as il prete rosso, or "the red-haired priest," as he was called by his contemporaries on account of the color of his hair, spent most of his life in-the service of the Venetian Ospedale della .: Pieta and its famous orchestra of orphan girls. He taught the violin in this charitable institution beginning in 1703, and became "master of the concerts" there in 1716. It was for the gifted students of the Ospedale that he composed the concertos-more than 200 of them for solo violin with strings and continuo, and a still larger number for vari?ous other solos and groups-that bulk largest in his copious output. And aside from a substantial quantity of sacred works, includ-' ing a brilliant and popular Gloria, and of sonatas, the other principal element of his i work consisted of more than 50 operas and j serenatas. I
I It is with the Sinfonia (or overture) to i one of his operas that this evening's pro?gram begins. Premiered in Rome during the gJ724 Carnival season, Vivaldi's Giustino was'
the latest in a series of operas based (this time in an adaptation by Pietro Pariati) on a libretto by Nicolo Beregan whose original setting by Giovanni Legrenzi had been the sensation of the Venice Carnival season 41 years earlier. Handel too, in 1737, made use of the sensational story, set in sixth-century Roman times, and featuring the customary imbroglio of military, political, and amatory plots and sub-plots.
The operatic sinfonia, traditionally laid out into three movements, was to develop throughout the course of the 18th century into the symphony of the classical period, in which a fourth, dance-style movement was usually interpolated into the familiar fast-slow-fast sequence. (Even Haydn's great "London" symphonies of the 1790s were originally advertised and reviewed as "over tures.")
i$ The Concerto in g minor, RV 157, that stands aside from the solo-instrument works of the traditional form, is scored, like a number of Vivaldi's other concertos, simL ply for strings and continuo. Its first move?ment is cast in the form of a chaconne, or set of variations of a constantly repeated bass 1 theme (in this instance, two measures-and-a-half in length), whose descending chro?matic shape also subtly influences the W course of the vigorously dashing finale. The intervening "Largo" preserves the dark col. oration of the work's g-minor tonality. II
Of the two little-known but splendid works with solo violin that conclude the first half of the program, the Concerto in E-flat Major, RV 257, follows a first movement in relatively moderate tempo with an "Adagio" of rare charm in mostly dotted 1 rhythm and a finale in swinging triple 1 meter. The better-known Concerto in F M Major, RV 286, For the Feast of Saint W Lorenzo, prefaces a main first movement '? again in moderate tempo with a slow and stately introduction. This, along with the prevalence throughout the work of regularly
repeated patterns of one measure or more, seems to accord with the purpose suggested by the subtitle, for it gives the music a char?acter rather less dramatic and more proces?sional than is usual in Vivaldi's concertos.

Le quattro stagioni (The Four Seasons): Four Violin Concertos, Op. 8, Nos. 1-4
Vivaldi
Born in Venice in 1678, Vivaldi was ordained as a priest in 1703, but never actu?ally served in any ecclesiastical capacity. He had studied the violin with his father, who played at St. Mark's, and in 1703 became maestro di violino at the Ospedale della Pieta that was devoted to the musical education of orphaned girls. Many of the girls played at an extremely high level, and Vivaldi was soon able to present performances at the . Pieta that drew large audiences from the ranks of Venetian nobility and visitors from out of town. Many of Vivaldi's instrumental works were written for the Pieta, but they started circulating much more widely after he started publishing them in 1705. In 1711, Etienne Roger, a publisher in Amsterdam, brought out twelve of Vivaldi's concertos under the title L'estro armonico (Harmonic Inspiration). From this time on, Vivaldi was famous all over Europe. In Germany, J.S. Bach transcribed several Vivaldi concertos for keyboard and Bach's original concertos often show the Italian composer's influence.
Vivaldi did more than any other com?poser to develop and to codify the Baroque concerto. He established many of the con?certo's standard features such as its three-movement (fast-slow-fast) structure, its orchestral ritornellos (which punctuate that structure), lyrical (usually short) slow
movements, and spirited finales often using dance rhythms. These rules, however, left a lot of room for variety, and in fact, Vivaldi's ingenuity in handling musical form and his melodic invention seem endless.
Vivaldi's most popular concertos are, without a doubt, the four for violin known as The Four Seasons. They were published in 1725 as part of a collection entitled cimen-to dell'armonia e dell'inventione (The Test of Harmony and Invention). If The Four Seasons are not the earliest example of pro?gram music, they are definitely among the boldest musical experiments of the 18th century. Vivaldi, displaying no mean poetic gifts, composed a sonnet about each season, and inscribed the poems into the score, indicating precisely when the events men?tioned took place in the music (see page 18). At the same time, despite all the storms, singing birds, barking dogs, and stumbling drunkards, Vivaldi managed to hold the concertos together musically and preserve the basic n'forneo-episode alternation char?acteristic of the genre.
Program note by Peter Laki.
Vivaldi's Original Poetry which accompanies The Four Seasons
Spring
Spring has come and joyfully the birds greet it with happy song, while the streams flow along with gentle murmur as the zephyrs blow. There come, shrouding the air with a black cloak, lightning and thunder chosen to herald [the storm]; then, when these are silent, the little birds return to their melodi?ous incantations.
And now, in the pleasant, flowery meadow, to the soft murmur of leaves and plants, the goatherd sleeps with his faithful dog at his side.
To the festive sound of a pastoral bagpipe, nymphs and shepherds dance under their beloved roof, greeting the glittering arrival of the spring.
Summer
In the harsh season scorched by the sun, man and flock languish, and the pine is on fire; the cuckoo begins to call and soon after, the turtledove and the goldfinch are heard singing. Zephyr gently blows, but Boreas suddenly enters into a contest with his neighbor, and the little shepherd weeps for he fears the awesome threatening storm and his fate.
To his tired limbs rest is denied by the fear of lightning, awesome thunder, and the furi?ous swarms of flies and hornets!
Alas, his fears are justified. The sky is filled with thunder and lightning and hail cuts down the proud grain.
Autumn
The peasant celebrates the pleasure of th happy harvest with dances and songs and inflamed by the liquor of Bacchus, many ? end their rejoicing with sleep. !
The mild pleasant air makes all abandon : dance and song; this is the season that ' invites all to the sweet delights of peacefu sleep.
The hunters, at the break of dawn, set fort,, with horns, guns, and hounds. The animal flees, and they follow its tracks. Already frightened and tired by the great noise of guns and hounds, the wounded animal makes a weak attempt at fleeing, but it is overcome and dies.
Winter
Trembling with cold amidst the freezing snow, while a frightful wind harshly blows, running and stamping one's feet every minute, and feeling one's teeth chatter from the extreme cold;
Spending quiet contented days by the fire while the rain outside drenches people by the hundreds. ?-,
Walking on ice, and moving cautiously, with slow steps, for fear of falling, spinning around, slipping, falling down, again walk?ing on ice and running fast until the ice cracks and splits; hearing Sirocco, Boreas and all the winds at war burst forth from the bolted doors--this is winter, but it also brings joy!
, onductor, organist, harpsichordist, and scholar Andrea Marcon is rec?ognized as one of the foremost specialists and performers of early music. He is a professor of harpsi?chord, organ and interpretation at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis and has also been a visiting professor at the Sweelinck Conservatorium in Amsterdam.
In 1997, Mr. Marcon founded the Venice Baroque Orchestra with some of Italy's finest instrumentalists. Together, they have performed throughout Europe and m Japan, and gave their New York debut at ?-?., Lincoln Center in August 2001. In May 2003, Mr. Marcon will conduct a program featuring Angelika Kirchschlager performing Bach arias in Munich, Cologne, London, Paris and Vienna. Most recently, Mr. Marcon led the orchestra in highly acclaimed debut performances in the Concertgebouw and at Aldeburgh and the Proms. BBC TV1 broad?cast the London concert.
Mr. Marcon's dedication to the redis?covery of Baroque masterpieces has led to the first fully-staged performances in mod?ern times of Francesco Cavalli's opera L'Orione in 1998, and Handel's Siroe in 2000. In December 2001, he conducted the contemporary revival of Cimarosa's L'Olimpiade in Venice's Teatro Malibran. Plans for the 0304 season include perfor?mances of Siroe in Paris and New York, Ariodante at the Frankfurt Opera and the Monteverdi Vespers in Berlin, and in 2005 Hasse's Cleofide in Dresden and a 17th-cen?tury Venetian opera in Berlin's Statsoper. Mr. Marcon has also collaborated in prepar?ing the scores of many Baroque operas, including seminal modern revivals of Gluck's Paride e Elena, Monteverdi's Orfeo and Ritomo di Ulisse in Patria, and Cavalli's Calisto.
Mr. Marcon's numerous recordings as conductor, organist and harpsichordist have , received extraordinary praise and many J_
have won awards, including the Diapason D'Or, the Vivaldi Award of the Cini Foundation, Germany's Echo Award and, four times, the Deutschen Schallplatten Kritik prize. He is an exclusive recording artist of Sony Classical for whom he has already recorded seven discs in the past three years--five as conductor of the VBO in collaborations with Giuliano Carmignola and Angelika Kirchschlager, and two as harpsichordist with Giuliano Carmignola and Anner Bylsma.
Continuing to perform in organ and harpsichord recitals, Mr. Marcon has also given seminars and classes at the conserva?tories of Amsterdam, Toulouse, Hamburg, Helsinki, Malmo, Karlsruhe, Copenhagen, at the Royal College of Organists in London and at the Universities of Goteborg and Birmingham, UK. From 1983 to 1997, Mr. Marcon was harpsichordist and organist of the Treviso-based early music ensemble Sonatori de la Gioiosa Marca. He was also founder and artistic director of the Inter?national Organ Festival "Citta di Treviso," playing a prominent role in the restoration of the city's historic organs. In 1986 he won first prize in the organ competition in Innsbruck, and on harpsichord he won first prize in Bologna in 1991.
Mr. Marcon was born in Treviso and received a diploma in Early Music from Basel's Schola Cantorum Basiliensis for his organ and harpsichord studies with Jean-Claude Zehnder. Other influential teachers included Luigi Ferdinando Tagliavini, Hans van Nieuwkoop, Jesper Christensen, Harald Vogel and Ton Koopman.
Tonight's performance marks Mr. Marcon s UMS debut.
' qually adept on both modern and Baroque violin, Giuliano Carmignola's career began with awards in the "Premio Citta di i Vittorio Veneto" in 1971 and in the Paganini Competition in Genoa in 1973. Subsequently he appeared as soloist with numerous European orchestras and conduc?tors, including Claudio Abbado, Gianandrea Gavazzeni, Eliahu Inbal, Peter Maag and Giuseppe Sinopoli. Mr. Carmignola also i toured extensively as soloist with I Virtuosi di Roma with performances in Royal Albert , Hall, La Scala, Musikverein, the Berlin .!
Philharmoniker, and Moscow's Tchaikovsky Hall. He gave the Italian premiere of the Dutilleux violin concerto and is highly regarded for his broad range of repertoire encompassing the works not only of the classical and romantic periods, but also of the Baroque and 20th century.
Mr. Carmignola is an exclusive artist with Sony Classical. His first album, recorded with the Venice Baroque Orchestra, features three previously unrecorded Vivaldi concertos and The Four Seasons and won the Diapason D'Or in France and the Echo Award in Germany. Carmignola's second album with the VBO includes six extraordinary Vivaldi concertos never before recorded, and in March 2002, he released a recording featur?ing the Bach sonatas with harpsichordist Andrea Marcon. i
In the 0102 season, Mr. Carmignola appeared in recital with pianist Yasuyo Yano in Venice, as soloist in Zurich, Bern and
Lucerne with the Basel Chamber Orchestra, and in New York, Tokyo, Florence, Milan, Munich, Paris, Berlin, Frankfurt, Geneva, Amsterdam, Copenhagen and London with the Venice Baroque Orchestra. During the current season, Mr. Carmignola joins the VBO for their first tour of North America, and will also appear with the orchestra in cities including Rotterdam, Brussels, Lisbon, Barcelona and Tokyo. He will conduct and solo with the Lille Orchestra, perform the Beethoven concerto with the Chamber Orchestra of Mantova and give recitals including works by Bach, Vivaldi and Mozart.
A native of Treviso, Mr. Carmignola began his studies with his father and gradu?ated from the Conservatorio Benedetto Marcello in Venice where he studied with Luigi Ferro. He attended master classes with Nathan Milstein and Franco Gulli at the Academia Musicale Chigiana in Siena and with Henryk Szeryng at the Geneva Con?servatory. A professor of violin at the Venice Conservatory for ten years, Mr. Carmignola also served as concertmaster of the orchestra of Teatro La Fenice from 1978-1985. In 1999, he was appointed Professor of Violin at the Lucerne Hochschule and is currently a pro?fessor of music at Siena's Academia Musicale Chigiana. He regularly participates in Baroque music festivals throughout Europe, notably in Bruges, Lucerne, Vienna, Brussels, Salzburg and Barcelona. Mr. Carmignola is an acclaimed recitalist and chamber musician, frequently collaborating with pianists 1 Yasuyo Yano, Bruno Canino and Andrea Lucchesini, cellist Mario Brunello, and vio-lists Bruno Giuranna and Danilo Rossi.
In the performance of Baroque music, Mr. Carmignola plays a 17th-century Italian violin that has never been modernized. For music subsequent to the Baroque era, he plays a 1733 Pietro Guarneri.
Tonight's performance marks Mr. Carmignola's UMS debut. ?,??, ? .-. .-f,. ???-..
' ounded in 1997 by some of the finest musicians in Italy, the Venice Baroque Orchestra (VBO) is rec?ognized as one of Europe's leading ensembles devoted to period instrument performance. Led by the Baroque scholar and performer Andrea Marcon, the orchestra has received wide critical acclaim not only for its concerts throughout Europe and Japan, but also for their staged performances of operas. Their concerts have been filmed by the BBC and NHK, and their performances are often broadcast by RadioFrance, ORF, Raidue, BBC3, and RadioTre.
Since signing an exclusive contract with Sony Classical in 1999, the orchestra has recorded five discs, including three all-Vivaldi albums with violinist Giuliano Carmignola. The first, featuring the record?ed premieres of three Vivaldi violin concer?tos and The Four Seasons, won the Diapason D'Or in France and the Echo Award in Germany. The second album is devoted exclusively to unrecorded Vivaldi violin con?certos and followed the first Sony release with a second Diapason D'Or. Upcoming releases include a third Vivaldi recording of previously unrecorded concertos, an album comprised of Locatelli violin concertos and a Bach album with Angelika Kirchschlager that will include arias from cantatas as well as from the B minor mass and the Christmas Oratorio.
Committed to the rediscovery of first-rate works of the baroque period, Andrea Marcon has led the VBO in the modern day premieres of Francesco Cavalli's L'Orione, and Benedetto Marcello's La Morte D'Adonc and trionfo delta poesia e della musica. In 2000, the VBO launched a partnership with Teatro La Fenice in Venice with four sold-out staged performances of Handel's Siroe. The second opera in the series, Cimarosa's L'Olimpiade, was mounted in December 2001 to great acclaim. Staged by Jorge
Lavelli, Siroe will be performed by the VBO in Paris and New York in 2004.
In the 0102 season, the orchestra per?formed in over 35 cities, including New York, Tokyo, Florence, Milan, Munich, Paris, Berlin, Frankfurt, Geneva, Montpellier, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Aldeburgh and London. In the 0203 season, the orchestra, with violinist Giuliano Carmignola, will appear in cities including Rotterdam, Brussels, Cologne, Lisbon, Vienna, Barcelona, Venice and Tokyo in addition to tonight's performace as part of the ensemble's current 20-concert debut tour of North America.
Tonight's performance marks the Venice Baroque Orchestra's UMS debut.

uripides, born in Attica in 484 BC, was one of the figures-with Aeschylus and Sophocles--who made fifth-century Athens preeminent in the history of world drama. He was a prolific writer whose plays were performed at the Great Dionysia, the Athenians' major drama festival. Described by Aristotle as "the most tragic of poets," Euripides is probably best known for his tragedies. His continuing popularity and influence is attested to by the survival of 17 of his plays, among them Medea, The Trojan Women, Hippolytus, Iphigenia in Tauris, Orestes, The Bacchae, and Electra. In his lifetime, however, Euripides aroused great opposi?tion and controversy with his unorthodox portraits of women and his focus on the individual, rather than the community, in an age which venerated the ideal of civic duty and public office. His unpopularity among his contemporary writers is clear from the attacks made on him in the comedies of Aristophanes. In 408 BC, he left Athens and went into voluntary exile at the court of Archelaus in Macedonia where he died in 406 BC. Sophocles, who outlived him by only a few months, was said to have dressed his next chorus in mourning as a mark of respect.
he Abbey Theatre of Ireleand was
founded by W.B. Yeats and Lady Augusta Gregory. With the help of their patron, Annie Horniman, the theater opened its doors to the pub?lic for the first time on December 27,1904. The Abbey Theatre became the first theater in the world to receive state subsidy and has been a central part of Irish cultural life for almost a century.
On average the company puts on 600 performances a year in its two theaters and on tour, with the core work supported by committed outreach, education and literary programs which serve to broaden audience engagement and foster an atmosphere of social and intellectual inclusiveness.
The repertoire of the Abbey Theatre i extends back to the early 20th century and includes the drama of Synge, Yeats and ; O'Casey. More contemporary work is repre?sented by, among others, Brian Friel, Tom Murphy, John B. Keane, Hugh Leonard, Tom Kilroy, Bernard Farrell, Frank Me Guinness, Sebastian Barry and Marina Carr.
The Abbey is renowned as a writers' theater but the greatest Irish actors of this and previous generations have graced its boards. The role call includes F.J. McCormick, Sara Allgood, Harry Brogan, Ray McAnally, Donal McCann, Cyril Cusack, Siobhan Mc-Kenna, Ray McAnally, Donal McCann, Brenda Fricker, Liam Neeson, Gabriel Byrne, Sinead Cusack, Fiona Shaw and John Kavanagh. ._
Under the artistic direction of Ben Barnes, the Abbey is forging new links inter?nationally, throughout Europe, and in North America. The theater is engaged in a series of international production and personnel exchanges and new cross-cultural writing commissions.
The Abbey Theatre has entered an ex?citing stage of its development at home. The Irish Government has committed itself to developing a new theater for the Abbey at its historic site on the corner of Abbey and Marlborough Street. :
The Abbey Theatre celebrates its cerite-' nary in 2004. Plans include a major tour of the US, a festival of classic Abbey plays, and a gala performance on December 27 to mark the 100th anniversary of the first opening night.
The Abbey is appreciative of the patron?age of the many thousands of American vis?itors it receives every year at its home base in Dublin and is pleased to present this pro?duction of Medea at UMS and throughout the US. 1
These performances of the Abbey Theatre of Ireland mark the company's debut under UMS auspices.

String Quartet in A Major, Op. 18, No. 5
Ludwig van Beethoven
Born December 15 or 16, 1770
in Bonn, Germany Died March 26, 1827 in Vienna
Commentators on Beethoven's A-Major quartet (and their number is legion) invari?ably point out the young composer's debt to Mozart, in particular the quartet in the same key (K. 464) that Mozart included in a set of six works dedicated to Haydn. No one will dispute this claim, which is based on the ex?ternal structuring of the work: like Mozart, Beethoven placed his minuet second place, and included a set of slow variations in the key of D Major. The more important ques?tion, however, is whether this quartet sounds anything like Mozart. And there, the answer has to be a definite no-from the very first measures we hear the sudden offbeat accents so typical of Beethoven, a certain dance rhythm rarely used by Mozart, and myriad other fingerprints that unmistakably belong to Beethoven and no one else.
In a more profound sense, Beethoven's debt-to Mozart and even more importantly -to Haydn who had also been Mozart's model-is in the way the four instruments blend to?gether as equals, or take turns as leaders. In 1799-1800, when Beethoven was composing his Op. 18, Mozart had been dead for nearly a decade, but the much older Haydn was still actively composing. Haydn and his erstwhile rebellious student even found themselves in a kind of quartet-writing competition, as both had been commissioned by Prince Franz Joseph von Lobkowitz. But the older compos?er only finished two quartets from the six that had been planned (eventually published as Op. 77), leaving the field to the young genius that Haydn used to call, jokingly, the "Grand Mogul."
When Beethoven left his native Bonn for Vienna in 1792, Waldstein sent him on his way with the prophetic words: "With the help of assiduous labor you shall receive Mozart's spirit from Haydn's hands." Once in Vienna, the young composer lost no time in claiming his place as the rightful heir of Haydn and Mozart. But it was like someone who moves into an old house and immedi?ately starts rebuilding it.
The general feeling of the opening movement is rather cheerful and lightheart-ed, but that feeling seems to be constantly contradicted by the frequent incursions into the minor mode and the sudden rests inter?rupting the musical flow. As a result, we are kept on the edge of our seats, never knowing what is going to happen next in the music.
Pundits have called the second-movement minuet "simple," mainly because it is an old-fashioned minuet rather than the more novel scherzo. Yet it is a sophisticated simplicity; even when the texture is down to the two violins as it is at the beginning, the phrases don't always go where they are expected to, nor are they necessarily over after the standard length of eight bars. The sudden outburst in a minor key in the middle of the minuet, followed by a general rest, is certainly a sur?prise, as is the varied recapitulation involving some contrapuntal imitation. The trio would be "simple" indeed, and even "Schubertian" as has been claimed, were it not for those persistent, and disquieting, offbeat accents.
With its theme all made up of scales, going first down and then up, the third move?ment again looks like a model of simplicity. It is one of many variation themes by Bee?thoven that are kept purposely "bare-bones" in order to allow for some spectacular devel?opment in the variations. But the latter turn out to be much more than the figurative embellishments of traditional variation writing. The very first one introduces coun?terpoint. The second variation may be more conventional, but the third is a breathtaking
essay in musical color, the fourth a stunning chromatic chorale, and the fifth a grandiose statement of almost symphonic breadth. One would expect a sixth variation, but instead-after a sudden leap into a remote key-Bee?thoven appends a coda (conclusion) which is really a free meditation on the opening portion of the theme.
g The finale is brilliant and virtuosic, with a swiftly running first theme and a second one that moves quite a bit more slowly. Both themes are manipulated with great ingenuity and are finally combined in the witty coda.
String Quartet in F Major
Maurice Ravel
Born March 7, 1875 in Ciboure, Basses-Pyrenees, France Died December 28, 1937 in Paris
Ravel was 27 years old when he wrote his string quartet. He was still, at least nominally, a student, as he was auditing Gabriel Faure's composition class at the Paris Conservatoire. But he had been active as a composer for years, with numerous public performances behind him. Yet he had failed to win a prize from the Conservatoire, which was a condi?tion for graduation. In particular, the presti?gious Prix de Rome continued to elude Ravel, who was eliminated from the contest no fewer than five times. This situation became more and more ludicrous and it finally led to a much-publicized scandal in 1905. The director of the Conservatoire had to resign, and Ravel confirmed his status as one of the leading French composers of his generation, in fact the only one whose work could be compared to that of Claude Debussy.
Ravel's string quartet-dedicated "to my dear master Gabriel Faure"-is clearly mod?eled on Debussy's celebrated Quatuor from 1893, yet Ravel displays a sense of color and melody that is all his own. To both com-
posers, the string quartet as a medium sug?gested adherence to classical tradition. Yet nothing was farther from them than acade?micism of any kind. The denning moment of both works is precisely the tension that exists between the classical forms and a pos?itively non-classical sensitivity that is mani?fest at every turn.
Melody, harmony and rhythm are usu?ally thought of as the most important ingre?dients of music. Ravel's string quartet, written at the beginning of the 20th century, was nothing less than prophetic in the way it added a fourth element, sound, as a factor of equal importance. The alternation of playing techniques (pizzicato, con sordino, arpeggio, bow on the fingerboard) is as crucial to the unfolding of the piece as the alternation of themes, and their succession-especially in the second and third movements -creates a musical form of its own, entirely non-tradi?tional this time.
In the first movement, classical sonata form-a legacy that reached Ravel through the intermediary of Faure-is realized with great clarity and ingenuity. Note the characteristic pianissimo rallentando (extremely soft and slow playing) at the end of the movement, similar to the analogous moment in Ravel's Piano Trio of 1914. (On the other hand, the opening movement of Debussy's string quartet ends with a loud and fast coda.)
The second movement of Ravel's quartet is based on the contrast between two themes of opposite character, one pizzicato (plucked) and one bien chante (sing out!) with bow. Again, it seems that the movement looks into the future (ahead to the Piano Trio) rather than into the past (back to the Debussy quartet). The middle section, in which all four instruments use mutes, is an expressive slow movement in miniature, with subtle variations on both scherzo themes.
The unique beauty of the third move?ment evolves by fits and starts, as it were, through the sometimes abrupt juxtaposition
of segments in different tempos, keys, and meters. An expressive melody, whose primary exponent is the viola, is interrupted by memories of the first movement's opening theme. After a more animated middle section, culminating in a passionate outburst, the initial slow tempo returns with its exquisite harmonies.
The last movement (which Faure thought unbalanced and too short) is based on an ostinato ("stubbornly" returning pat?tern) in an asymmetrical 58 meter. After a '? while, this ostinato yields to a more regular 34, which, once more, contains echoes of the first movement. A different musical character-the first aggressive, the second more lyrical-corresponds to each of these two meters. Their contrast carries the move?ment forward, right up to the singularly forceful conclusion.
Piano Quintet in c minor, Op. 1
Ernst von Dohnanyi PW
Born July 27, 1877 in Pozsony, Hungary" '
(now Bratislava, Slovakia) Died February 9, 1960 in New York ?.
Like Ravel, Ernst von Dohnanyi was a student when he wrote his first great chamber work. The Hungarian composer was even younger, only 18, when he produced this astonishing Opus 1. Yet, even though it is heavily influ?enced by Brahms and Schumann, it is hard?ly a "student work." The young man had the language of Romantic chamber music down to the last nuance. Every musical detail is exactly in its place: the melodies and their development evolve naturally; the handling of the five instruments is always idiomatic. The piano and the strings-and the individ?ual members of the quartet-are treated as equals, and each player is given plenty of opportunities to shine; yet they can also blend together perfectly to form a unified
group whenever necessary. This combination of inborn talent and well-honed craft is ex?tremely rare-no wonder that Brahms was extremely impressed. Upon receiving the score from Hans Koessler, Dohnanyi's composition teacher at the Academy of Music in Budapest, Brahms personally made the arrangements for the premiere performance in Vienna.
The first movement keeps the rhythmic energy alive even during the more lyrical moments: even the more introspective second theme is accompanied by exciting syncopa?tions or pizzicato (plucked) figures that never allow the momentum to sag. After a brilliant traversal of many keys in the development, the recapitulation concludes with a shift from c minor to C Major-a classic move serving to introduce a brighter mood at the end, applied here with irresistible verve and dramatic force.
The second-movement scherzo inge?niously plays with one of Brahms's favorite rhythmic figures, the so-called hemiola (in which two bars of 34 time [one-two-three, one-two-three] are merged into a single bar of 32 [one-and-two-and-three-and], hiding the second downbeat). The trio, or middle section, is, by contrast, quiet and placid, moving more slowly in sustained chords.
A supremely beautiful viola solo opens the slow movement, which blossoms into a passionate romantic song shared by all five instruments. Another expressive melody, in a new key and a new time signature follows, before the first idea returns. The ending, recalling the main melody as in a dream, is particularly effective.
The finale immediately attracts our ?" attention on account of its irregular 54 meter, later mixed with 64 and 32 in a brilliant and unpredictable way. The second theme,! introduced by the cello, is more stable metjjj rically. In the middle of the movement, Dohnanyi introduces a virtuosic fugato sec?tion, followed by a return of the earlier i materials. Like many Romantic composersJ
Dohnanyi brings back the opening theme of the first movement (along with a hint at the viola solo in the third), to create a sense of cyclic unity in the whole composition, which ends with a grandiose restatement of the 54 melody.
After the resounding success of the Piano Quintet, Dohnanyi's career was under way. Within a few years he established himself as one of the leading pianist-composers of his time, at home in the concert halls of Vienna, Berlin, London, and New York. He remained faithful to chamber music, producing three string quartets, a second piano quintet and the masterful Serenade for string trio. His best-known symphonic work is the Variations on a Nursery Song for piano and orchestra. And although Dohnanyi remained unshak-ably committed to the musical universe of Brahms his entire life, he enriched that uni?verse with contributions noted for their wit, elegance, structural sophistication and a profound understanding of the soul of the instruments. If that is epigonism, as has sometimes been charged, then it takes exceptional talent to be a good epigone.
Program notes by Peter Laki.
ince his triumph as winner of the 1970 Chopin International Piano Competition, American pianist Garrick Ohlsson has established himself as a musician of extraordi?nary interpretive power and prodigious technical facility. Although he has long been regarded as one of the world's leading expo?nents of the music of Chopin, Mr. Ohlsson commands an enormous repertoire, which encompasses virtually the entire piano liter?ature. A student of the late Claudio Arrau, Mr. Ohlsson has come to be noted for his masterly performances of the works of Mozart, Beethoven, and Schubert, as well as the Romantic repertoire.
Mr. Ohlsson's concerto repertoire is unusually wide and eclectic--ranging from Haydn and Mozart to 20th-century masters-and he has at his command some 80 works for piano and orchestra. He has performed solo recitals throughout the US, Canada, and Europe--a highlight being complete Chopin cycles in New York, Paris, London, Warsaw and Ann Arbor.
During the 0203 season, Mr. Ohlsson is featured by Lincoln Center's Great Performers
in Busoni at the Key?board," a three-recital series at Alice Tully Hall, which presents the piano music of Busoni, in the company of works by Bach, and Liszt. The series will highlight the influence of Bach and Liszt in shaping Busoni's
highly original synthesis of the classic, the Romantic, and the avant-garde.
A prolific recording artist, Mr. Ohlsson can be heard on the Arabesque, RCA Victor Red Seal, Angel, Bridge, BMG, Delos, Hans-sler, Nonesuch, Telarc, and Virgin Classics labels. Mr. Ohlsson has recorded the com?plete solo works of Chopin for Arabesque.
Mr. Ohlsson was born in White Plains, New York, where he began his piano studies at the age of eight. He attended the West-chester Conservatory of Music and at 13, he entered The Juilliard School in New York City. Although he won First Prizes at the 1966 Busoni Competition in Italy and 1968 Mon?treal Piano Competition, it was his 1970 tri?umph at the Chopin Competition in Warsaw, where he won the Gold Medal, that brought him worldwide recognition as one of the finest pianists of his generation.
77iis evening's performance marks Mr. Ohlsson's 11th appearance under UMS auspices. Mr. Ohlsson made his UMS debut on July 28, 1971. He subsequently embarked on a six-
concert UMS cycle of the complete solo piano music of Frederic Chopin beginning in 1995. Mr. Ohlsson is the recipient of the 1998 UMS ? Distinguished Artist Award.
he Takacs Quartet is recognized as one of the world's greatest string quartets. Since its formation in 1975, the ensemble has appeared regu-_ larly in every major music capital and prestigious festival. The quartet is based in Boulder, Colorado, where it has held a Residency at the University of Colorado since 1983. The Takacs is a Resident Quartet ? at the Aspen Festival and its members are ?? also Visiting Fellows at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London.
The first volume of the Takacs Quartet's Beethoven Cycle (middle quartets) was re-;? leased in May 2002. Its recording of the Bart6k ". cycle received the Gramophone "Chamber Music Recording of the Year" award for 1998, and in 1999 it was nominated for a Grammy. The ensemble's subsequent recording release for DeccaLondon, with which it signed an [exclusive recording contract in 1988, includes the Schubert "Trout" Quintet with pianist Andreas Haefliger (Grammy nominee, 2000), and Dvorak's String Quartet, Op. 51 and ?' Piano Quintet, Op. 81, also with Mr. Haefliger. Volume two (early quartets) of the Beethoven cycle will be released in Spring 2003, and the final volume of the late quartets is to appear in early 2005.
During the 0203 season, the Takacs Quartet performs over 40 concerts in the US, and tours extensively in Europe. Special pro?jects include a tour with the famed Hungar?ian gypsy ensemble Muzsikas, performing under UMS auspices on March 29, and a Beethoven cycle presented by the Cleveland Orchestra. Additionally, the Takacs will con?tinue their annual residency at the Aspen Festival and a residency at the Music Academy of the West in Santa Barbara. In the 0102
season, the Takacs toured in 15 cities, includ?ing Ann Arbor, with former US Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky, culminating in a concert at Lincoln Center. Their program of music and poetry was centered around the theme of Love.
The Takacs Quartet was formed by Gabor Takacs-Nagy, Karoly Schranz, Gabor Ormai and Andras Fejer in 1975, while all four were students at Budapest's Liszt Aca?demy. It first received international attention in 1977, winning First Prize and the Critics' Prize at the International String Quartet Competition in Evian, France. Thereafter, the Takacs won the Gold Medal at the 1978 Portsmouth and Bordeaux Competitions and First Prizes at the Budapest International String Quartet Competition (1978) and the Bratislava Competition (1981). The quartet made its North American debut tour in 1982.
This evening's performance marks the Takacs Quartet's fifth appearance under UMS auspices. The Quartet made their UMS debut in Feb?ruary 1984. The Quartet will return to UMS to close the 40th Annual Chamber Arts Series on March 29, 2003 in a joint performance with the Hugarian gypsy ensemble Muzsikds in Rackham Auditorium.
