Vivaldi’s Four Seasons Beethoven’s 9th

Emanuel Ax

Artistry and ExcellenceHear how it all plays out

The symphony is a careful balancing of elements: musicianship, composition,

programming, performance, and direction – all intensified in front of a live

audience. An extraordinary symphony is created when these elements combine

just so, becoming a celebration, an experience that resonates, infusing, and

informing your daily life.

And this year, I assure you, the musical stars are aligned.

At the heart of it all, we have the incomparable NAC Orchestra. This amazing year

opens with the Mozart-Haydn festival, a tribute to an unparalleled and unique

musical friendship. The season is highlighted by Beethoven’s 9th and Vivaldi’s

Four Seasons, and it celebrates remarkable guest artists, including Emanuel Ax in

recital, Cirque de la Symphonie and a Canadian Tenors Christmas. Combine that

with some of the savviest audiences anywhere, and you have a truly spectacular

season – one that I look forward to immensely. I hope you do, too.

A Musical FriendshipOne February night in 1785, Mozart welcomed

into his home a man some 24 years his senior,

to whom he had dedicated a set of six string

quartets. Mozart and his guest sat down with

two other musicians and spent the evening

playing the quartets. As he was leaving, the

older man said to Mozart’s father, “Before God,

and as an honest man, I tell you that your

son is the greatest composer known to me

either in person or by name. He has taste, and,

what is more, the most profound knowledge

of composition.” The speaker was none other

than Joseph Haydn, the most highly respected

composer of his time.

The musical dialogue that would grow between

the two soon became the beating heart of

a glorious and historically unique friendship.

Join Pinchas Zukerman, the NAC Orchestra

and incredible guest artists Emanuel Ax,

Jeffrey Kahane and more for the Mozart-Haydn

Festival and celebrate the music and history

that connected these master composers.

THE CONCERTO ACCORDING TO PINCHAS, LIVE! PRESENtEd IN ENgLISH ONLy

Pinchas Zukerman, conductor/violin Eric Friesen, host

MOZART Violin Concerto No. 3MOZART Serenade No. 7, “Haffner”

The third of five violin concertos Mozart composed when he was just a teen is the fascinating subject of this special Festival event, a behind-the-score look at an elegant work. After he chats about the music with writer/broadcaster Eric Friesen, Maestro Zukerman – who knows a thing or two about violin concertos – conducts the NAC Orchestra and solos from the podium. The charming “Haffner” Serenade, composed for a wedding celebration in the household of the prominent Haffners of Salzburg, pairs beautifully in this all-Amadeus concert.

MOZART Sonata for Violin and Piano, K. 454MOZART Piano Concerto No. 22 HAYDN Symphony No. 101, “The Clock”

“Ax’s technique was effortless – real pianissimos, perfectly poised trills, a completely idiomatic first-movement cadenza, and soft-as-silk legato,” enthused San Francisco Classical Voice about this master interpreter of Mozart. In this performance of the Piano Concerto No. 22 listen especially for the exquisite slow movement, which Mozart had to encore at the premiere. Bracketing the concerto are Mozart’s grandest violin sonata and Haydn’s endlessly inventive “Clock” symphony, nicknamed for its tick-tocking second movement.

Pinchas Zukerman, conductor Juho Pohjonen, piano

MOZART Piano and Wind Quintet MOZART Piano Concerto No. 12 MOZART Serenade No. 10, “Gran Partita”

It is the transcendent Adagio of Mozart’s Serenade for 13 Instruments that unnerves Salieri in Peter Schaffer’s Amadeus – filling him “with such unfulfillable longing. It seemed to me I was hearing the voice of God.” The composer took a genre normally relegated to background status in aristocratic households and wrought musical gold from it. Plus the amazing Canadian debut of Juho Pohjonen playing Mozart’s elegant Piano Concerto No. 12.

MOZART Piano Concerto No. 24 MOZART Concerto for Two PianosHAYDN Symphony No. 98

Wolfgang wasn’t the only fortepiano prodigy in the Mozart family; there was also his sister Nannerl. Together they performed his brilliant “double” concerto (the first of this genre) in Salzburg in late 1780. After moving to Vienna a year later – with his creative juices flowing freely – Mozart wrote 12 piano concertos in three years, including No. 24, “an explosion of the dark, tragic, passionate emotions,” according to musicologist Alfred Einstein. As with other works composed upon Mozart’s death, Haydn’s Symphony No. 98 is like “a private Requiem for his friend,” according to the late music critic Michael Steinberg.

MOZART Symphony No. 39MOZART Symphony No. 40MOZART Symphony No. 41, “Jupiter”

No one disputes that Mozart’s awe-inspiring final trilogy of symphonies is his crowning achievement in that form. Though it was composed when Mozart’s fortunes had crumbled, Symphony No. 39 betrays none of his woes. Just one month later, he completed Symphony No. 40 – a haunting masterpiece that continues to move listeners today. And a mere 16 days thereafter, he gave the world his noble Symphony No. 41, “Jupiter”, aptly named for the king of the gods. “Experiencing all three symphonies together,” says Maestro Zukerman, “creates one powerful, emotional arc, as if they were all one glorious work.”

BRAHMS’S SERENE THIRD SYMPHONYAndrew Grams, conductorAlain Lefèvre, piano

MATHIEU Piano Concerto No. 4 in E minor BRAHMS Symphony No. 3

“Like a rainbow after a thunderstorm,” said Brahms’s biographer Karl Geiringer about the Third Symphony. Its opening motif – F, A-flat, F – said to represent the words “Frei aber froh” (free but happy) is the wellspring for much of this tranquil, very personal symphony. Hailed as a “hero” (Los Angeles Times) and a “smashing performer”(Washington Post), Alain Lefèvre has championed the Fourth Piano Concerto by Montréal’s André Mathieu, a pianist and composer once described as “Canada’s Mozart.”

SCHUMANN Overture to Genoveva J.S. BACH Piano Concerto No. 1MENDELSSOHN Symphony No. 2, “Lobgesang” (“Hymn of Praise”)

Acclaimed Bach interpreter Simone Dinnerstein plays one of the Baroque master’s splendid keyboard concertos, followed by Mendelssohn’s choral masterpiece, written to celebrate the 400th anniversary of printing (though the symphony’s Biblical texts make no reference to the printer’s art). Fittingly, the composer conducted the premiere of this “symphony-cantata” in Leipzig, an important German book-publishing centre, at St. Thomas Church, where Bach had led performances of his own cantatas.

Corelli may not have invented the concerto grosso, but he ennobled the genre that pits a small group of solo instruments against a larger ensemble in three contrasting movements – fast-slow-fast. You’ll hear one of the 12 brilliant Baroque concerti that make up his Opus 6. And soprano and countertenor voices movingly sing of Mary’s anguish over her dying son in the glorious Stabat mater – the last work of Pergolesi’s pitifully short life (1710-1736) – in this Holy Week concert.

How might a child imagine heaven? Overflowing bowls of delicious food, game running through the streets, St. Peter catching willing fish on fasting days, St. Cecilia playing music, 11,000 virgins dancing, and angelic voices joining in the jubilation. Erin Wall sings about Mahler’s heavenly vision in the finale of his beloved symphony. NAC Orchestra favourite Jon Kimura Parker shines in Mozart’s 27th and final piano concerto, which enchants the listener with grace and serenity.

BISS & BEETHOVENPinchas Zukerman, conductor Jonathan Biss, piano

BEETHOVEN Symphony No. 1BEETHOVEN Symphony No. 2 BEETHOVEN Piano Concerto No. 5, “Emperor”

Written in 1800 on the threshold of a new century, Beethoven’s First Symphony is a beautiful blend of the classical style and a bold step into the future. Two years later, while completing his Second Symphony, he also penned his heartbreaking “Heiligenstadt Testament” – a personal confession that revealed near-suicidal anguish over his growing deafness; despite his despair, the work’s mood is upbeat, with only a few passing clouds. Ottawa favourite Jonathan Biss returns to perform Beethoven’s “Emperor” concerto; though composed amid the chaos of Napoleon’s occupation of Vienna, its music remains ever defiant, rebellious, triumphant.

Ovation“ITALIAN” SYMPHONYPinchas Zukerman, conductorJoel Quarrington, double bass

ROSSINI Overture to Il Signor bruschinoROTA Divertimento concertanteMENDELSSOHN Symphony No. 4, “Italian”

A salute to Italy! After Rossini’s ebullient overture, the NAC Orchestra’s principal double bass takes a star turn in the bright, energetic Divertimento by Nino Rota (think film scores for La dolce vita or The Godfather), composed, as it happens, for Joel Quarrington’s teacher, Franco Petracchi. Mendelssohn undertook his coming-of-age “grand tour” as a 21-year old and fell in love with Italy – an inevitability when you hail from the cold climes of Europe. The result is this spirited symphony. From the exuberance of the first measures to the last movement’s saltarello, you’ll find it hard to just sit quietly in the dark.

Pre-Concert Chat (in English): Toronto Star music critic William Littler

RADU LUPU… RAPTURE & FIREPinchas Zukerman, conductorRadu Lupu, piano

PETER PAUL KOPROWSKI In Memoriam Karol Szymanowski SCHUMANN Piano ConcertoBRAHMS Symphony No. 4

This concert brings together works by two Romantic composers who were close friends... Schumann and Brahms. Schumann’s concerto was premiered by his beloved wife Clara, a piano virtuoso in her own right, who championed this musical amalgam of rapture and fire. Though Brahms jokingly called his Fourth Symphony “another collection of polkas and waltzes,” we know that he used noble forms to convey deep emotions in this autumnal work – the pinnacle of his symphonic output.

HEWITT PLAYS LISZTLudovic Morlot, conductorAngela Hewitt, piano

BERLIOZ Overture to Les francs-juges LISZT Piano Concerto No. 1 FRANCK Symphony in D minor

Back after her sold-out performance last season, Angela Hewitt plays Liszt’s First Piano Concerto, a bravura work the composer used to showcase his own superstar status (as in the thunderous, wildly difficult octave leaps in the first movement). A seamless work in one bold movement, it draws its inspiration from a recurring musical “motto.” The grand Symphony in D minor is the perfect companion for the concerto: echoing a practice employed by Liszt, Franck creates a three-note cell that becomes the seed for recurring melodies – continuously unfolding, changing, and transforming itself.

Pre-Concert Chat (in English): CBC Executive Producer Jill LaForty and Angela Hewitt

RACHMANINOV’S RHAPSODYThomas Dausgaard, conductor Yuja Wang, piano

ALBERT SCHNELTZER A Freak in BurbankRACHMANINOV Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini SIBELIUS Symphony No. 1

Grammy-nominated piano sensation Yuja Wang tackles Rachmaninov’s “greatest hit.” He took the 24th of Paganini’s notoriously difficult Caprices for Solo Violin and wrote his own notoriously difficult 24 variations for piano and orchestra, including the ultra-romantic 18th. Pop culture fun fact: you heard it on the movie soundtracks of Groundhog Day and Dead Again. Composed a quarter century earlier, while many of Sibelius’s contemporaries were composing grandiose works, the First Symphony is a joyful, masterfully crafted symphony that showcases Sibelius’s fierce national pride for Finland, which he called home.

VIVALDI’S FOUR SEASONS Pinchas Zukerman, conductorFeaturing: Jessica Linnebach, Caitlin Tully, Jesus Reina, violins

BRAHMS Serenade No. 2 in A majorVIVALDI The Four Seasons

Vivaldi’s most popular work might be a cliché by now if it weren’t for its violinistic brilliance (starring roles shared by four soloists) and delightful sound effects… meteorological, animal, vegetable, and human. As for serenades, they were considered background music for dinners, weddings, and outdoor celebrations (hence, scored for more audible wind instruments). Harking back to that tradition, there are no violins in Brahms’s exuberant serenade, for which he had a special affection: “I have seldom written music with greater delight; it seemed to sound so beautiful that I was overjoyed.”

Copland’s quintessentially American voice – optimistic, confident, tender, nostalgic – speaks of young love in his ballet score, which includes the beloved hymn, “Simple Gifts.” A century earlier, Schumann’s “Spring” Symphony, born of his head-over-heels love for his new bride Clara, also refers to the most hopeful of seasons. Schumann’s friend Felix Mendelssohn, who led the successful premiere of the work, wrote the concerto that rounds out the program – all led by Alexander Shelley, who wowed audiences last season in his brilliant NAC Orchestra debut.

DVOŘÁK’S “NEW WORLD” Thomas Søndergård, conductor Sarah Chang, violin

MENDELSSOHN Hebrides Overture (Fingal’s Cave)BRUCH Violin Concerto No. 1 DVOŘÁK Symphony No. 9, “From the New World”

In the hands of our star soloist, Sarah Chang, Bruch’s Romantic concerto is sure to captivate you. Its passion and bravado have made it a showcase for soloists and an audience favourite for 150 years. In his most popular symphony Dvořák wanted to convey “impressions and greetings from the New World”… a sort of musical postcard from America. Pop culture note: in Paradise Road Glenn Close conducts a chorus of women prisoners in a Japanese POW camp in the symphony’s most well-known melody, “Goin’ Home”; having no instruments, their voices become an orchestra.

STRAVINSKY’S FIREBIRD Julian Kuerti, conductor Johannes Moser, cello

J.S. BACH Suite No. 1STRAVINSKY The Firebird Suite (1919)DVOŘÁK Cello Concerto

The Firebird ballet glitters and pulses with vibrant colours and an exotic scenario that’s the stuff of fairytales: a prince, 13 princesses, the Firebird’s magic feather, and an evil ogre. In the Suite drawn from the score, listen especially for the Finale, a shimmering climax proclaiming that the prince and princess will live happily ever after. The renowned cellist and composer Victor Herbert inspired Dvořák’s ardent concerto, considered by many to be the greatest for the instrument. (Brahms exclaimed: “Why on earth didn’t I know one could write a cello concerto like this? If I had, I would have written one long ago!”)

Beethoven composed his Triple Concerto at the behest of one of his students – 16 year-old Archduke Rudolph of Austria. It is all too infrequently heard because of its special artistic demands: a trio of excellent performers who must play not just as a chamber ensemble, but also together as a “collective soloist” with orchestra. And in his Fifth Symphony, the still-teenaged Schubert tips his hat to his admired predecessors, Mozart and Haydn.

Spanning the cultural spectrum – from the soundtrack of A Clockwork Orange, to marking the fall of the Berlin Wall, to standing for “celebration” around the world – Beethoven’s final symphony has become a musical icon. Beginning with swirling, mysterious melodic fragments and ending with the chorus that rings out with glorious shouts of “Joy,” the Ninth personifies nobility, optimism, and a world where all mankind is in the embrace of love and friendship. This festive concert also celebrates the 75th birthday of Malcolm Forsyth with a commissioned work that celebrates Canada’s greatest poets.

DEBUSSY La merRAVEL Piano Concerto in G majorSTRAVINSKY Le sacre du printemps

A concert of 20th century classics: Debussy perfectly portrays the sea in this richly layered seascape… from shimmering light dancing on calm waters to the drama of crashing waves. Ravel’s one-movement piano concerto, performed by a distinguished French soloist, carries the imprint of the jazz craze sweeping America and Europe in the early 1930s. As for The Rite of Spring, Stravinsky once said, “The violent Russian spring… seemed to begin in an hour and was like the whole earth cracking.” That perfectly describes his iconoclastic ballet score whose raw energy and pagan rituals caused a full-scale riot at its Parisian premiere. And it changed classical music forever.

This first-class vocal quartet joins the NAC Orchestra straight from the Vegas Strip, where their rich harmonies, costumes, and choreography have made them popular headliners in multi-million dollar productions before Standing Room Only crowds.

CIRQUE DE LA SYMPHONIEJack Everly, conductor

Ladies and gentlemen, and children of all ages! Imagine: aerialists flying high above the orchestra in a gravity-defying ballet, astonishing acrobats, sinewy strongmen, nimble jugglers, virtuosic mimes, and amazing contortionists… it’s the art of cirque. Now, add the excitement of synchronized favourite classics and contemporary music played live by your NAC Orchestra – with ringmaster Jack Everly – and you have Cirque de la Symphonie. Having played to capacity crowds in concert halls all over the world, they now make their long-awaited debut in Ottawa. You’ll enjoy musical selections like Khachaturian’s Sabre Dance, Mussorgsky’s Night on Bald Mountain, Sondheim’s “Comedy Tonight” from A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, and much more. It’s a breath-taking sight-and-sound spectacular! You’ll want to run away with this CTV Pops circus!

A TRIBUTE TO JUDY GARLANDJack Everly, conductor | Linda Eder, vocalist | John Otto, music director/piano Dave Finck, bass | Clint de Gannon, drums

Her distinctive voice, striking stage presence, and emotional range make Linda Eder’s homage to Judy Garland a not-to-be missed event at the Pops. The award-winning star of Broadway and headliner in concert venues across the continent lends her prodigious vocal gifts to the legend’s most unforgettable songs: upbeat tunes, like “Zing! Went the Strings of My Heart” and “Me and My Shadow,” and ballads, like “The Boy Next Door,” “Almost Like Being in Love,” and “You Made Me Love You.” Join us as Principal Pops Maestro Jack Everly and the NAC Orchestra page through the Judy Garland Songbook with Linda Eder. No doubt she’ll take Southam Hall by storm... with a radiant rainbow at the end.

Diana Krall Pinchas Zukerman, conductor | National Arts Centre Orchestra

All 2010-2011 NAC Orchestra season subscribers enjoy a special priority purchasing period from April 1 to 16 before tickets go on sale to the general public on May 18.

Singer, pianist, and songwriter extraordinaire, British Columbia’s own Diana Krall is our special guest at this season’s NAC Gala. This superb Grammy Award-winning jazz musician has a unique style and a seductive, sultry voice that is sure leave you wanting more. You might even hear something from her latest album, Quiet Nights. Diana Krall will captivate you in a one-hour performance on this glittering occasion.

To begin your enchanted evening, you'll enjoy a spectacular welcome by our own treasured Maestro Pinchas Zukerman as he leads the NAC Orchestra in the dazzling first half of the concert. An intimate, romantic and glamourous evening awaits you.

“She draws people into an intimate space… simply to enjoy that feeling of being ‘up close and personal’… that makes us sit back with a sigh and simply enjoy that Krall really is very good.” The Telegraph (London)

“In her dark whispery alto… the effect is to turn songs into mysterious stream-of-consciousness ruminations… in a private language that is all about rhythm.” New York Times

The NAC Gala – benefitting the National Youth and Education Trust. Investing in young Canadians through the performing arts.
