Welcome to St David’s Hall! I feel so honoured to be welcoming you to my fi rst season with BBC National Orchestra of Wales.
When I conducted the orchestra for the fi rst time in 2009, I felt truly supported in my artistic endeavours by each and every individual player and this has been key to our deepening relationship, one that has developed in the programmes on which we have collaborated to date. The wonderful reception from both players and the Cardiff audience gives us the perfect foundations for what I hope will be a long, happy and fruitful relationship. Together, I hope we can prepare the music with the care and respect it demands, in order to create memorable performances that will enable us to celebrate and share our love for the music with our audiences.
In my opening week in Cardiff this season, it is thrilling for me to collaborate with internationally acclaimed soprano Inger Dam-Jensen, who was, of course, crowned Cardiff Singer of the World in 1993. Indeed the theme of ‘song’ is a strong one running through many of our programmes this season - and what could be more appropriate to Wales, the “Land of Song”?! As part of this theme, we offer Verdi’s Requiem and Te Deum
(in the 200th anniversary of his birth) and Handel’s Messiah, under the baton of Associate Guest Conductor François-Xavier Roth. We will also be joined by some very fi ne soloists, among them Rosemary Joshua, Susan Gritton and Ailish Tynan. We also have a theme of ‘Fifths’ with performances of Sibelius, Shostakovich, Nielsen and Mahler’s fi fth symphonies this season. I will conduct each of these except for Shostakovich’s mighty Fifth, for which we welcome back our esteemed Conductor Laureate, Tadaaki Otaka. In fact, I am greatly looking forward to welcoming all of our guest soloists and conductors in the coming year.
As we begin our journey together, I very much hope that you will join us and look forward to getting to know you, through making music with this fabulous orchestra.
Pob dymuniad da!

Introducing Thomas Søndergård
Back in December 2009, a Danish conductor stepped in at very short notice to replace an indisposed conductor for a BBC National Orchestra of Wales concert at St David’s Hall. His name was Thomas Søndergård, a name that David Murray, Director of the orchestra, had been alerted to from reports arriving from colleagues in Scandinavia, Germany and Scotland, where he had recently conducted the Royal Scottish National Orchestra.
An important new relationship was born that night. “You could immediately hear from the way the orchestra were playing that there was something special there”, recalled Tim Thorne, Senior Producer for the BBC National Orchestra of Wales. Thomas Søndergård felt the same way. On the day that his appointment as Principal Conductor was announced last July, he told the Orchestra: “I will never forget the first time that I came into the hall and rehearsed that performance of Brahms’s Fourth Symphony”.
Born in Holstebro, Denmark, Thomas Søndergård’s passion for music was born when he was seven: “I saw a marching
band going through the town and knew that I had to be part of that”. And it was as a percussionist that he initially entered the music profession, getting to know the orchestra from the inside. Since then he has conducted throughout Europe, becoming Principal Conductor and Musical Advisor to the Norwegian Radio Orchestra as well as conducting opera at the Danish State Opera and Royal Swedish Opera.
During next autumn he also will become Principal Guest Conductor to the Royal National Scottish Orchestra whilst in the same season, our outgoing Principal Conductor, Thierry Fischer will pass on the baton of Principal Conductor to Thomas Søndergård. It will be an exciting new period of music-making and development for the BBC National Orchestra of Wales but, despite all the hard work and planning required, Thomas Søndergård is absolutely clear about what lies at the centre of his work as a musician: “We must never lose our passion and love for music”.

The music of Wagner and works like Brahms’s majestic and lyrical Violin Concerto influenced the rich late romantic splendour of Zemlinsky’s music.
His masterpiece is the Lyric Symphony, which explores the yearning and fulfilment of love. Now Jac van Steen conducts it for the first time in Cardiff.
If you already love the music of Mahler and Strauss, the Lyric Symphony will be a revelation to you.

ZemlinskyIn the years leading up to the First World War, Vienna was a boiling cauldron of radical developments in painting, architecture, literature and, of course, music. Brahms was only recently dead, Mahler was director of the Vienna State Opera, Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele were pushing back the boundaries of painting, and Arnold Schoenberg and his followers were doing the same in music. At the centre of all this was the promising young composer Alexander Zemlinsky. As a student he attracted the attention of Brahms, and his pupils included both Schoenberg (who later became his brother in law) and Alma Schindler, with whom he fell in love, before she married Mahler. Yet Zemlinsky was largely eclipsed by his more glamorous contemporaries: his compositions were much admired during his lifetime, but fell into neglect after his death, until their gradual revival on CD over the last thirty years.
Recent generations have discovered in Zemlinsky a sumptuous late-romantic voice that is neither Mahler nor Richard Strauss, but which inhabits an equally rich parallel world. Zemlinsky completed many operas and was acclaimed as one of the leading conductors of his age. But his best-known work is the Lyric
Symphony, fi rst performed in 1924: a setting for soprano and baritone of the mystical poems of the Bengali poet Tagore, exploring love, through yearning, fulfi lment and its disintegration – something that its composer had known only too well. The result runs the whole gamut of emotion, from the fi rst stirrings of passion to the agony of farewell.
Zemlinsky’s story is a sad one in many ways. Cruelly described by a contemporary as “the ugliest man I have ever seen”, he drew on autobiographical elements in composing his opera, Der Zwerg (The Dwarf) based on Oscar Wilde’s story. In 1938 he was forced to fl ee Vienna and start a new career in the United States at the age of almost seventy. But he was an unknown fi gure, suffered a series of strokes and stopped composing. When he died, in 1942 in New York, his name meant little to the American public; and in Europe, younger musicians found his music old-fashioned and infl ated. But, seventy years after his death, a new generation has taken his music to their hearts with more and more performances and recordings with each successive year.

Benjamin Britten: Orchestral Concert Works
Success usually comes with a cost. The outstanding success of Benjamin Britten’s operatic, choral and solo vocal works has built up a compensating prejudice: that the works Britten wrote without voices are less effective – perhaps even less authentic. The truth, says this point of view, is that Britten really needed a text, and the sound of voices – particularly voices he knew – to get his imagination working at full stretch.
Granted, the magnifi cent choral-orchestral Spring Symphony (1948-9) does show, in its sequence of twelve richly varied movements, just how vital and creative Britten’s approach to word setting could be, responding to the sounds of the words as much as their meanings. (Who else could set the line ‘The grey wolf howls’ both so pictorially
and so musically?) Yet the unity Britten brings to these assorted verses, the sense of a symphonic current like the gradually accelerating burgeoning of Spring itself, is entirely his own.
Impressive as the Spring Symphony is, put it beside the Violin Concerto (1939) and one is forced to ask: in what way is the latter less effective or authentically Britten? This too tells a larger ‘story’, a
more purely musical one this time, but no less gripping or moving for that. Broadly speaking, the Violin Concerto follows a favourite Britten emotional scheme: innocence to experience. The opening seems carefree, but it’s soon threatened by darker elements – spectacularly in the demonic central scherzo – leading (by an eerily effective stroke) straight into a variation-fi nale which seems to confront us with the stark reality of loss. The solo violin may be said to ‘stand in’ for the human voice here, but if it is song, it is instrumental song, triumphantly conceived for the violin.
Two unfi nished concertos, both lovingly restored by the composer Colin Matthews, show how deep Britten’s aptitude for this kind of instrumental drama was. That he never completed the

Clarinet Concerto (1942-3) is a real loss, not just for clarinettists, but Matthews’s reconstruction gives more than a taste of the delightful work it might have been. The Double Concerto (1932), completed in sketch score when Britten was nineteen, shows him reaching out towards this form before opera was more than a vague possibility, with
fascinating results – especially in the magically ambiguous ending. We can hardly complain that the mature Britten devoted more of his energies to opera than to orchestral music when what he created in that form is of such towering importance. Still, works like these early concertos – and the surprisingly fresh and breezy late Overture The Building of the House (1967) - offer tantalising prospects of what might have been – and in the case of the Violin Concerto, true greatness.

What the Critics Say“It is the second work he has written for this exceptional young violinist, and it is easy to understand why – few players give more of themselves to everything they perform, or colour every phrase more individually... The ravishingly coloured slow movement is fl anked by an opening that alternates between hyperactivity and introspection, and a fi nale that winds up to a huge climax and discharges its energy in a lingering coda.”
The Guardian
“Watkins’s new Violin Concerto proves a very likeable addition to the repertoire... Watkins has created a diverting and likeable piece that engages rhythmically and touches the heart in the lyrical passages. Written for Alina Ibragimova, who played superbly, this work’s restful conclusion seemed inevitable.”

Huw Watkins’s Violin Concerto
Described as “the natural heir to the English traditions of Howells, Rubbra, Bax and even Britten” (The Arts Desk), Huw Watkins’s Violin Concerto was fi rst performed at the BBC Proms in 2010. The work was composed for soloist Alina Ibragimova, who will perform the concerto with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales in June 2013 – the fi rst performance of the work since its premiere.
‘I’m playing with expectations’, says Huw Watkins. ‘This is a concerto in three movements but it isn’t necessarily fast-slow-fast or solo with accompaniment. Although the violin is leading the orchestra and carries the musical
argument, the orchestra amplifi es the musical ideas but also interrupts them.’ Watkins has previously written Partita for violinist Alina Ibragimova in 2006, and he’s greatly impressed by her technical skill. His Violin Concerto presents her with some serious technical challenges and he describes her fi rst movement particularly as ‘obsessive and fi endish’. The work is built on musical cells which are linked, extended and developed and, although the orchestra is not large, Watkins teases out some rich, dark textures through astute use of register and dynamics.

Mark Bowden - Resident ComposerWhat was it like to have your cello concerto lyra performed by the orchestra? It was wonderful to work with the orchestra on lyra. The players were really responsive and enthusiastic, and helped me to make a few small but necessary changes to the score during the rehearsal period. They gave a really fantastic and passionate premiere performance; it was a really thrilling experience.
What it is like to have a symphony orchestra at your disposal? Well it’s such a rare thing to have that I have to keep pinching myself and reminding myself that I’m incredibly lucky to have this opportunity. No matter how much you study orchestration, or study scores, or listen to recordings, you can’t ever really know how things are going to sound in real life, until you’re there working with the orchestra.
What is the next piece that you’re going to be writing for the orchestra? It’s a percussion concerto for Evelyn Glennie that will also be the score for a new choreographic work. Evelyn got in touch to say she was interested in working with the Orchestra and I also really wanted to collaborate with National Dance Company Wales on a new piece. The result is that now we are working with Eleesha Drennan, a dancer and choreographer, to create a new work. Evelyn will be integrated into the staging; it’s going to be a really exciting collaboration!
There’s also a performance of Sudden Light this season, which you composed in 2004? I was still a student when BBC Symphony Orchestra gave the first performance, with Jac van Steen conducting. The piece takes as its starting points a poem by Dante Gabriel Rosetti of the same title, and a book by the mathematician Marcus du Sautoy exploring prime numbers and how they affect many aspects of life.
Looking back, can you see how you’ve developed over the years as a composer? As I’ve written more orchestral works, I think I’ve become more focused with my musical ideas, and developed my skills in orchestration. When I listen back to the first performance of Sudden Light, there are things I wish I had done differently. As a rule I try not to revisit works and make alterations but I probably will make some small changes before the next performance!
What made you start as a composer? I first discovered contemporary music through my experience as a young dancer, performing to works by composers such as Peter Maxwell Davies and Simon Holt. I loved performing music by living composers but gradually became more interested in writing music myself, although I still really enjoy playing when I get the chance!
Who are your influences? Bach, Sibelius, Stravinsky and Nørgård are composers whose scores are never far away from my desk. I love Kaija Saariaho’s music and Björk is one of my favourite artists. The members of the Camberwell Composers’ Collective have been a big musical influence in my life as have been my teachers – Julian Anderson in particular. Outside music I’m also influenced by poetry, visual art and the latest developments in physics and space exploration.
