Fabio Luisi & Nicola Benedetti

A Musical Gift

INSPIRING Russian-born cellist Yuri Anshelevich made his recital debut at the age of nine, and five years later earned acceptance at the famed Moscow State Conservatory, graduating with highest honors in 1960. The same year, he won First Prize in the Cello Division of the All-Russian Competition, which led to studies with world-famous cellist Mstislav Rostropovich.

In 1977, Yuri Anshelevich joined the Dallas Symphony Orchestra as Associate Principal Cello and performed for 38 years, retiring in 2015. Anshelevich was part of the DSO’s growth, performing with many musicians and three Music Directors from 1977 to 2015. He went on to serve on the faculty of Southern Methodist University and as artist-in-residence at the University of Dallas. Now, still active as a soloist and chamber musician, he honors his decades in the orchestra with a generous gift, a number of cellos and bows straight from the cellist’s personal collection.

The five cellos and eight bows, valued at $1.7 million in total, hail from London and Italy. These instruments were created from 1717 to 1975. These high-quality instruments can improve tonality and sound, revealing depth and resonance, and, thanks to skillful craftmanship, look beautiful on stage!

The cellist has continued to attend concerts at the DSO since his retirement, but Anshelevich returned to his home on the Meyerson stage for a special performance on one of his instruments on Saturday, November 5, 2022, in honor of this precious gift and his remarkable tenure at the DSO. World-renowned Music Director Fabio Luisi conducted Anshelevich and the DSO in a performance of Kol Nidrei (All Vows) by Max Bruch. The piece, Bruch’s second most frequently performed work, features a beautiful, harrowing cello solo accompanied by strong, sweeping orchestral melodies. This performance opened the November 5 Texas Instruments Classical concert. Longtime DSO patrons enjoyed seeing a familiar, and brilliant, face on stage when Anshelevich returned.

Fabio Luisi claimed, “The addition of this collection to the ensemble will enrich the sound of the cello section. We are thankful for his generosity and for his many years of performance and friendship.”

Along with his generous gift, the DSO named the Manager of Orchestra Personnel in his and his late wife Olga’s honor. Nishi Badhwar currently holds the Olga & Yuri Anshelevich Manager of Orchestra Personnel position.

The Dallas Symphony Orchestra is incredibly grateful to Yuri Anshelevich, for entrusting us with a gift that will have lasting effects. Soon enough, you can return to the symphony to see and hear Mr. Anshelevich’s gifts in action in their new permanent home!

Fabio Luisi

Music Director

GRAMMY® AWARD WINNER Fabio Luisi launched his tenure as Louise W. & Edmund J. Kahn Music Director of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra (DSO) at the start of the 2020/21 season. In January 2021, the DSO and Luisi announced an extension of the Music Director’s contract through the 2028/29 season. A maestro of major international standing, the Italian conductor is also set to embark on his sixth season as Principal Conductor of the Danish National Symphony Orchestra, and in September 2022 he assumed the role of Principal Conductor of the NHK Symphony Orchestra in Tokyo. He previously served for six seasons as Principal Conductor of the Metropolitan Opera and nine seasons as General Music Director of the Zurich Opera. In September 2022, Luisi and the Dallas Symphony released their first recording project together. Brahms’s First and Second Symphonies will be available through the DSO’s in-house DSO Live label. Fabio Luisi’s 2022/23 programs in Dallas and for the DSO’s Next Stage Digital Concert Series will feature performances of the music of beloved classical composers, a continued examination of American music, and large-scale choral and orchestral works. A world-renowned interpreter of the music of Richard Strauss, Luisi conducted the composer’s tone poem Don Quixote for his first concert weekend, along with Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5. Hélène Grimaud returned to the DSO for Luisi’s second series of concerts, joining him in Brahms’s Piano Concerto No. 1. He continued the program with César Franck’s Symphony in D minor, the composer’s best-known orchestral work.

As a prelude to the fourth annual Women in Classical Music Symposium, Luisi presented music by three female composers –Julia Perry, Clara Schumann and Louise Farrenc. The full Dallas Symphony Chorus made its season debut in Verdi’s monumental Requiem, which featured Adriana González (soprano), Tamara Mumford (mezzo-soprano), Piero Pretti (tenor) and Joshua Bloom (bass) as soloists. Acclaimed violinist Nicola Benedetti will return to the DSO to join Luisi for the U.S. premiere of James MacMillan’s Violin Concerto No. 2, and Luisi will conduct Bruckner’s Symphony No. 4, the cinematic “Romantic.” This will mark the first time during his tenure that Luisi has presented Bruckner. In his three final concerts of the season, Luisi mixes the familiar with the unique. Continuing his recording project of the complete Brahms symphonies, Luisi will perform both Brahms’s Third and Fourth Symphonies with the DSO. He also welcomes composer-in-residence Angélica Negrón for the world premiere of her new work, Arquitecta. Luisi closes his season with the orchestra with two works by Carl Orff, the iconic Carmina Burana and the rarely heard Catulli Carmina

Other highlights of the 2022/23 season include several concerts with the NHK Symphony Orchestra (Tokyo) in Luisi’s first season as Principal Conductor; a new production of Verdi’s I vespri siciliani at La Scala (Milan); and the continuation, with the Danish National Symphony Orchestra, of his recording series of Carl Nielsen’s symphonies for the renowned Deutsche Grammophon label.

The conductor received his first GRAMMY® Award in March 2013 for his leadership of the last two operas of Wagner’s Der Ring des Nibelungen, when Deutsche Grammophon’s DVD release of the full cycle, recorded live at the Met, was named Best Opera Recording of 2012. In February 2015, the Philharmonia Zurich launched its Philharmonia Records label with three Luisi

recordings: Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique, a double album surveying Wagner’s Preludes and Interludes, and a DVD of Verdi’s Rigoletto. Subsequent releases have included a survey of Rachmaninov’s Four Piano Concertos and Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini with soloist Lise de la Salle, and a rare recording of the original version of Bruckner’s monumental Symphony No. 8. Luisi’s extensive discography also includes rare Verdi operas (Jérusalem, Alzira and Aroldo), Salieri’s La locandiera, Bellini’s I puritani and I Capuleti e i Montecchi with Anna Netrebko and Elīna Garanča for Deutsche Grammophon, and the symphonic repertoire of Honegger, Respighi and Liszt. He has recorded all the symphonies and the oratorio Das Buch mit sieben Siegeln by neglected Austrian composer Franz Schmidt, several works by Richard Strauss for Sony Classical, and an award-winning account of Bruckner’s Ninth Symphony with the Staatskapelle Dresden.

Born in Genoa in 1959, Luisi began piano studies at the age of four and received his diploma from the Conservatorio Niccolò Paganini in 1978. He later studied conducting with Milan Horvat at the University for Music and Performing Arts in Graz. Named both Cavaliere della Repubblica Italiana and Commendatore della Stella d’Italia for his role in promoting Italian culture abroad, in 2014 he was awarded the Grifo d’Oro, the highest honor given by the city of Genoa, for his contributions to the city’s cultural legacy. Off the podium, Luisi is an accomplished composer whose Saint Bonaventure Mass received its world premiere at St. Bonaventure University, followed by its New York City premiere in the MetLiveArts series, with the Buffalo Philharmonic and Chorus. As reported by the New York Times, CBS Sunday Morning and elsewhere, he is also a passionate maker of perfumes, which he produces in a one-person operation, flparfums.com.

Fabio Luisi & Nicola Benedetti

JAMES MACMILLAN (b. 1959)

Violin Concerto No. 2

FIRST PERFORMANCE: September 28, 2022 – Perth; Nicola Benedetti, violin; Maxim Emelyanychev, conductor

THIS IS A U.S. PREMIERE

The Scottish composer and conductor Sir James Loy MacMillan first attracted international attention in 1990, after the rapturous response at the BBC Proms to his large symphonic work The Confession of Isobel Gowdie. Subsequent successes range from his extraordinary (and unusually popular) percussion concerto Veni, Veni, Emmanuel to his Fourth Symphony, which was first performed on August 3, 2015, by the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and conducted by his fellow countryman Donald Runnicles. MacMillan’s recording with Britten Sinfonia of his Oboe Concerto, for the Harmonia Mundi label, won the 2016 BBC Music Magazine Award. In 2019 The Guardian deemed his Stabat Mater the 23rd greatest work of art music since 2000. MacMillan completed his Violin Concerto No. 2 in 2021, and the world premiere—performed by the work’s dedicatee, the Scottish virtuoso Nicola Benedetti—took place on September 28, 2022, at Perth Concert Hall, Perth, Australia. This is its U.S. premiere.

The Composer Speaks

My Second Violin Concerto is written in one through-composed movement and is scored for a medium-sized orchestra. It opens with three chords, and the notes which the soloist plays in these (pizzicato) outline a simple theme which is the core ingredient for

much of the music. This three-note theme incorporates a couple of wide intervals which provide much of the expressive shape to a lot of the subsequent melodic development throughout the concerto.

When the soloist eventually plays with the bow, the character of the material sets the mood for much of the free-flowing, yearning quality of the music throughout. The prevailing slow pulse is punctuated by some faster transitional ideas, and after a metric modulation the second main idea is established on brass and timpani, marked alla marcia. The wide-intervallic leaps in the solo violin part continue to dominate in a passage marked soaring, even as the music becomes more rhythmic and dancelike.

An obsessive repetitiveness enters the soloist’s material just before the first main climax of the work, where the winds blare out the wide-intervalled theme. The central section of the work is reflective, restrained and melancholic, where the soloist’s part is marked dolce, desolato and eventually misterioso, hovering over an unsettled, low shimmering in the cellos and basses.

The martial music returns and paves the way for an energetic section based on a series of duets which the violin soloist has with a procession of different instruments in the orchestra— double bass, cello, bassoon, horn, viola, clarinet, trumpet, oboe, flute, and violin. After this we hear the three notes/chords again developed in the wind over a pulsating timpani beat, which sets up the final climax marked braying, intense and feroce.

The final recapitulation of the original material provides a soft cushion and backdrop to the soloist’s closing melodic material, marked cantabile, before the work ends quietly and serenely.

My Second Violin Concerto is dedicated to Nicola Benedetti and in memoriam Krzysztof Penderecki, the great Polish composer who died in 2020. —Sir James MacMillan, 2022

Program Notes

ANTON BRUCKNER (1824–1896)

Symphony No. 4 in E-flat Major

FIRST PERFORMANCE: 1975 – Munich; Kurt Woss, conductor

LAST DSO PERFORMANCE: March 22, 2015; Jaap van Zweden, conductor

Trained by his schoolmaster father and the Augustinian monks of St. Florian, the Austrian composer Anton Bruckner worked as a cathedral organist for 13 years, earning a strong regional reputation for his virtuosic playing and brilliant improvisations. A late bloomer, he didn’t enter his maturity as a composer until midlife. Bruckner’s Fourth Symphony was his first major composition to earn acclaim almost from its debut.

The Hissing and Laughing Multitude

The enthusiastic response to his revised Fourth came as a huge relief to its 57-year-old author at the 1881 premiere. Four years earlier, his Third Symphony, which was inscribed with an unctuous dedication to Richard Wagner, went nightmarishly awry at its Vienna premiere. Bruckner, an anxious and inexperienced conductor, was leading—or attempting to lead—openly hostile musicians who seemed determined to humiliate him. Before he even lifted his baton, he was losing audience members; each successive movement sent more patrons scuttling out of the concert hall. As his publisher Theodor Rättig later recalled, “the applause of a handful of some 10 or 20 generally very young people was countered by the hissing and laughing multitude... When the audience had fled the hall and the players had left the platform, the little group of pupils and admirers stood around the grieving composer, attempting to console him, but all he could say was, ‘Oh, leave me alone; people want nothing to do with me.’”

Bruckner revised the “Wagner” Symphony at least six times, an exacting and time-consuming process to which he subjected all nine of his symphonies save the last, whose finale he left unfinished when he died, a little over a month after he turned 72.

As Bruckner’s first real success (and his last popular triumph until the groundbreaking Seventh Symphony), the Fourth brought much-needed validation—perhaps even vindication. He would work it over numerous times, sketching out a fanciful “Romantic” program only to disavow most of the extramusical content just a few years later. Despite many attempts (some of them likely unsanctioned “corrections” by ambitious disciples and associates), Bruckner never improved on the 1878–1880 version of the Fourth Symphony, which is performed for this concert.

Paradox and Perfection

For most of his life, Bruckner was badly underestimated. His worldly Viennese contemporaries ridiculed him as a pious dolt, a rural church organist with no redeeming cleverness. But despite his unfashionable accent and gauche manners, Bruckner was no country bumpkin. His music, which reflects his dual roles as church organist and composer of symphonies, revels in paradox: it’s massive and nuanced, dense and subtle, ancient and modern. Intricate polyphony is draped in sumptuous Wagnerian orchestration. An expansive tone poem morphs into an elaborate fugue. Before our very ears, musical forms adapt and evolve in a state of transcendent flux.

There’s nothing simple about Bruckner’s Fourth, including its date of completion. For Bruckner, a self-doubting perfectionist, no composition was ever truly finished. All told, there are approximately three dozen different versions of Bruckner’s nine symphonies. Maybe these multiple versions exist not because the composer was indecisive but rather because he saw his music as mutable, subject to change over time. Musicologists

argue about the authenticity of various editions of Bruckner’s nine symphonies and speak of “the Bruckner Problem” — shorthand for the vexed debates about authorial intention and the relative virtues and drawbacks of the various revisions. Some editions include “corrections” that Bruckner never saw, much less sanctioned; other editions reflect changes that he made because he was insecure and possibly too receptive to suggestions from others.

Bruckner composed the first version of his Symphony No. 4 in E-flat Major between January and November 1874, but that original iteration was never performed or published during his lifetime. He continued to tinker with his Fourth Symphony, along with most of the others, for another 14 years. Bruckner researchers have identified at least seven authentic versions and revisions of the Fourth Symphony. For this concert the 1878–1880 version (ed. Nowak), which is the version of the Fourth most commonly performed and recorded today, was selected. Bruckner scored the Fourth for one pair each of flutes, oboes, clarinets, and bassoons, with four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, timpani, and strings. Starting with the 1878 revision, a single bass tuba is included in the instrumentation.

Romantic Revisions

The nickname Romantic was used by Bruckner, who also created, and eventually abandoned, a program for the symphony. Bruckner marked the autograph of the Scherzo and Finale of the 1878 version of the symphony with brief descriptions such as Jagdthema (hunting theme), Tanzweise während der Mahlzeit auf der Jagd (dance tune during the lunch break while hunting), and Volksfest (people’s festival).

Also for this revision, Bruckner replaced the original scherzo with a new movement that’s commonly known as the “Hunt” Scherzo (Jagd Scherzo). The new movement, Bruckner explained

in a letter, “represents the hunt, whereas the Trio (Tanzweise während...) is a dance melody which is played to the hunters during their meal.” In 1880 Bruckner replaced the Volksfest finale with a new one based on an earlier melodic idea.

After one especially productive rehearsal of the Fourth, Bruckner gave the conductor, Hans Richter, a coin and urged him to buy himself a beer to celebrate. (Richter was charmed by the gesture and kept the money as a keepsake.) On February 20, 1881, Richter presided over the first performance, in Vienna. It was the first premiere of a Bruckner symphony not to be conducted by Bruckner himself, and it was also his first unqualified success. After years of enduring hisses and insults, the composer finally heard real applause and basked in the unfamiliar warmth. To his delight and astonishment, he was summoned for a bow after each movement.

The Composer Speaks

In a letter to the conductor Hermann Levi dated December 8, 1884, Bruckner supplied a vivid, if abbreviated, program: “In the first movement, after a full night’s sleep, the day is announced by the horn, 2nd movement song, 3rd movement hunting trio, musical entertainment of the hunters in the wood.”

Six years later, in another letter, he expanded on the program somewhat: “In the first movement of the ‘Romantic’ Fourth Symphony the intention is to depict the horn that proclaims the day from the town hall! Then life goes on; in the Gesangsperiode [the second motif] the theme is the song of the great tit [a bird] Zizipe. 2nd movement: song, prayer, serenade. 3rd: hunt, and in the Trio how a barrel-organ plays during the midday meal in the forest.”

Yet when asked years later to elaborate on the meaning of the finale, Bruckner confessed, “I’ve quite forgotten what image I had in mind.”

Program Notes

Bruckner and Wagner

At the age of 41, when he attended the Munich premiere of Tristan und Isolde, Bruckner became a committed Wagnerian. In 1873 he made his first pilgrimage to Bayreuth, uninvited and barely tolerated, so that he could show his idol the score to his Third Symphony, dedicated “in deepest veneration to the honorable Herr Richard Wagner, the unattainable, worldfamous, and exalted Master of Poetry and Music, by Anton Bruckner.” Upon meeting his hero, Bruckner allegedly fell to the ground, yelping, “Master, I worship you!” Despite or because of his strenuous enthusiasm, he made a dismal impression on his hosts. In her diary, Wagner’s wife, Cosima, speaks disparagingly of the visitor as “the poor Viennese organist.”

In summer 1876, Bruckner made his second trip to Bayreuth, where he attended the first complete performance of Wagner’s Ring cycle. He was so profoundly affected by the experience that he immediately began major revisions of several earlier works, including his Fourth Symphony.

A Closer Listen

Bruckner’s 1878–80 revision of the Fourth has the following tempo markings and key signatures: Bewegt, nicht zu schnell (With motion, not too fast), in the home key of E-flat Major Andante, quasi allegretto, in C minor Scherzo. Bewegt (with motion)—Trio: Nicht zu schnell (Not too fast), in B-flat Major Finale: Bewegt, doch nicht zu schnell (With motion, but not too fast), in E-flat Major
