a note from riccardo muti zell music director

Riccardo Muti Zell Music Director, Chicago Symphony Orchestra

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the 2019–20 season on behalf of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. This season, we invite you to explore the symphonies of Beethoven, symbols of the power of artistic expression. For nearly 250 years, we have tried to find the secret behind the untouchable music of this divine architect. For me, to conduct his music

is like touching the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican. His music and his message are timeless.

In his Ninth Symphony, Beethoven explicitly tells us that we should all become brothers and sisters. Through personal experi-ence, I know that music has the ability to bring people together—

people who do not speak the same language or who otherwise could not relate to each other in terms of culture, ethnicity, or religion. To understand what is behind this sometimes metaphysical language is not easy, but, in the end, the message is universal. Through music, people of all backgrounds can form a bond and share a common experience.

With each performance, we strive to reach the ideal that is the triumph of beauty. Your

enthusiasm for this orchestra and its musicians is more import-ant than ever, and we thank you for your continued support.

“ MUSIC SHOULD STRIKE FIRE FROM THE HEART OF MAN.”

P H OTO S BY TO D D R O S E N B E R G

Welcome to the 129th season of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

This year the Orchestra celebrates the 250th anni-versary of the birth of Ludwig van Beethoven across its series. The music of Beethoven has played an import-ant role in the Orchestra’s history since its first concert, which opened with Theodore Thomas conducting the Fifth Symphony on October 16 and 17, 1891, and has been a part of every season since. Indeed, Beethoven’s name even appears at the center of Orchestra Hall’s Michigan Avenue façade designed by Daniel Burnham.

It will be our great pleasure to present all nine of Beethoven’s symphonies over the course of the season, each conducted by Zell Music Director Riccardo Muti, whose tenth season as the Orchestra’s tenth music director we also celebrate. Each symphony stands as a pillar of the repertoire, but collectively, they represent the apex of artistic achievement, providing a time-less source of inspiration. To hear them cyclically, and expertly interpreted by Muti and the CSO, provides a

focused examination of Beethoven’s singular style as he developed the expressive possibilities of the symphonic form. Added to this, there will be opportunities for distinguished soloists to perform concertos and arias, as well as chamber music and piano repertoire on the Symphony Center Presents series. This will include performances of all thirty-two piano sonatas, illustrating Beethoven’s lifelong and evolving relationship with his primary instrument.

In addition, there will be musical offerings representing composers from the baroque period to today, a range of genres, and a dazzling roster of artists. This season, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association—the parent organization of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Chicago Symphony Chorus, Symphony Center Presents, Negaunee Music Institute, Civic Orchestra of Chicago, and the Symphony Center complex—presents over 400 concerts and events, enriching the lives of millions throughout Chicago and around the world. We look forward to sharing these experiences with you, and remain grateful for your support of the Orchestra and its wide variety of programs.

the lasting appeal of

Beethoven

l e f t to r i g h tJoseph Karl Stieler, who painted por-traits of many of the Hapsburgs, was granted four sessions with Beethoven between February and April 1820. In this idealized portrait, Beethoven holds the Missa solemnis, which he composed between 1819 and 1823. Stieler’s portrait is now in the collection of the Beethoven-Haus in Bonn, Germany.

As the music world anticipates the 250th anniversary of the composer’s birth, the music still reigns supreme.

By Phillip Huscher

E arlier this summer, a substantial lock of Beethoven’s gray and

dark-brown hair, tied with a silk thread and preserved in a glazed oval frame, was auc-tioned at Sotheby’s in London for roughly $44,500—far above the original estimate of $15,000 to $19,000, and outclassing the $35,000 paid for John Lennon’s hair three years earlier. “Other locks of Beethoven’s hair that we have seen have invariably been taken from the composer on his deathbed in 1827,” Sotheby’s reported in the catalog for its June 11 sale of Important Manuscripts, Continental Books, and Music. (Beethoven’s

hair was in such demand, even in 1827, that he was

buried nearly bald.) Beethoven appar-

ently gave this lock to Anton Halm, a pianist, in 1826, but only after the composer’s factotum Carl Holz tried to pass off a clump of goat’s hair as

Beethoven’s own. When Beethoven

learned of the decep-tion, he snipped some

hair from the back of his head, wrapped it in a sheet

of paper, and handed it to Halm.


(Another lock of Beethoven’s hair, auctioned at Sotheby’s for $7,300 in 1994, was sent to the Health Research Institute in Naperville, west of Chicago, where scientific analysis revealed a concentration of lead one hundred times in excess of the norm, indicating that Beethoven suffered from lead poisoning—explaining his constant complaints of bad digestion, chronic abdominal pain, irritability, and depression—but shedding no light on his deafness, the cause of his death, or the miracle of his genius.)

Collecting locks of hair from famous people was common in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, just as art museums and concert halls were once ringed with the names of artists and composers rather than the people who gave the money to build them. When Orchestra Hall was built in 1904, it was Beethoven’s name that was carved over the central front door, and it was his most famous symphony—the Fifth—that was included in the inaugural concert. Beethoven is still the cornerstone of our musi-cal life, a fact that did not escape Pierre Boulez, the pioneering musical figure who was once the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s conduc-tor emeritus, when he called Beethoven “the least discussed, most accepted and acknowl-edged symbol of our musical culture.” Notice the emphasis on our. To Boulez, a composer famously entrenched on the front lines of con-temporary music, Beethoven’s unquestioned preeminence nearly two hundred years after he transformed his own musical culture was perhaps the most astonishing thing of all about this most astonishing of composers.

This season, in honor of Beethoven’s 25oth birthday in 2020, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra plays all nine of the composer’s symphonies, and visiting pianists present the thirty-two sonatas—two complete cycles that are among the very cornerstones of music. Riccardo Muti is only the Orchestra’s third music director

to conduct all of Beethoven’s symphonies in a single season, following Frederick Stock in the 1936–37 season and Désiré Defauw eight years later. (Although Sir Georg Solti recorded the complete cycle twice with the Chicago Symphony, he never performed all of them in one season. Bernard Haitink led the nine symphonies in the span of just three weeks, in June of 2010, when he served as the Orchestra’s principal conductor.)

Beethoven has now dominated our think-ing about great music for two centuries. Many of his works have helped us to define the term masterpiece, and, although that word has taken a beating lately, Beethoven’s music itself has not lost its value. Today Beethoven is still as widely performed as any composer, and, unlike Mozart or Schubert, for example, nearly all his major works are in the active repertory. The Chicago Symphony has not let a single season pass with-out playing some of his music.

Of all the popular composers, Beethoven’s is the face we know best—despite the popularity of Amadeus, Mozart’s whimsical image is still over-shadowed by Ludwig’s forbidding scowl. That is apparently the way he actually looked, although some of the paintings and drawings made of him during his lifetime seem to us to border on caricature—when he posed for Joseph Karl Stieler in 1819, it looks like he didn’t even bother to comb his hair. The image of the composer as tormented genius is one that Beethoven liked and possibly cultivated, and it has endured to our day, from cartoons to high art, in pictures, movies, and in myth. There is surely not a more tragic story in music than that of a brilliant com-poser going deaf in the prime of life. Beethoven was the first to comment on the cruel irony of his own plight: “How could I possibly admit an infirmity in the one sense which ought to be more perfect in me than in others?” he wrote as early as 1802, shortly after he turned thirty.

Even during his lifetime, Beethoven became an almost legendary figure—the personification of defiance in the face of adversity. Day after day, he struggled with chronic illness, money, loneli-ness, deafness, and, perhaps most astonishingly, composition itself—the very act of putting notes on paper. Communication—an artist’s essential gift—became torturous and ever more precious as neither music nor, ultimately, everyday conver-sation, came to him easily. He left us more than sixty sketchbooks that record his daily struggle for artistic perfection and nearly four hundred conversation books, in which his visitors tried to “talk” with him once he was totally deaf. As he failed to make a life of satisfying normalcy for himself—he was bad at friendship and pathetic at romance—and as his hearing failed completely, cutting him off still further from the world around him, he kept on composing.

Although he was inevitably misunderstood in his own time, he also was widely admired for the grandeur of his vision and the intensity and expressive range of his music. Even Goethe, who never came around to really liking Beethoven’s music, marveled at his temperament: “more concentrated, more energetic, more warmly and tenderly emotional I’ve never seen an artist.”

Although Beethoven led a solitary life in Vienna—“Live only in your art,” he wrote in his diary, “the only existence for you”—ten thou-sand people from all over Europe showed up at his funeral, and Franz Schubert, the only equal among his contemporaries, carried a torch in the procession. (Popular myth claims that it was Beethoven’s name Schubert muttered on his own

deathbed, just one year later.) Like Byron, Beethoven had become the archetypal romantic hero, a fearless and defiant revolutionary, and this image dominated music for decades. A new book by John Clubbe, Beethoven: The Relentless Revolutionary, suggests that it was the composer’s involve-ment in the political unrest of his time, along with his rebellious spirit, initially inspired by Napoleon, that freed him to write such revolutionary music.

Beethoven’s popularity grew steadily through-out the nineteenth century (even Mozart’s star waned periodically). Every composer worked in his shadow, sometimes with reverence and some-times with frustration, and none with greater dif-ficulty than Brahms, who took nearly twenty years to finish his First Symphony, grumbling that “you can’t have any idea what it’s like always to hear such a giant marching behind you.” Ultimately Brahms succeeded because he understood the paradox of Beethoven’s influence: it was useless to imitate him; only by striving for originality did one truly follow in his footsteps.

As much as our picture of Beethoven contin-ues to shift with the times, his music never seems to lose its edge—it continues to sound fresh and unsettling—despite its familiarity and its age. It reminds us that nothing of significance is accom-plished without struggle, and, in fact, the very act of conquering these scores, the physical challenge of bringing them to life—in passages that two hands can barely manage, that push voices to their limits—recreates, time after time, Beethoven’s own battle to harness the music in his head.

Beethoven was perpetually striving for ideals—musical and societal—that have not yet been achieved, and which may, in fact, be out of reach. In that sense, his is the music not only of our culture, as Boulez predicted, but of our future. Perhaps Beethoven’s greatest achievement was, as Igor Stravinsky remarked, to have written music “that will be contemporary forever.”

Theodore Thomas and Daniel Burnham col-laborated extensively during the planning of the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago: Thomas as music director and Burnham as architect. Burnham was Thomas’s first choice to design the Chicago Orchestra’s new home, and his near-final elevation—completed after construc-tion had already begun on May 1, 1904—of Orchestra Hall included the names of five composers, with Beethoven firmly in the cen-ter. (It was soon decided that Brahms was too contemporary to merit landmark status, since he had only died in 1897, and was replaced with Schubert.)

Commemorating the 250th anniversary of the birth of Ludwig van Beethoven

Theodore Thomas programmed his favorite work—Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony—for the Chicago Orchestra’s inaugural concerts at the Auditorium Theatre on October 16 and 17, 1891, as well as the first concert in Orchestra Hall on December 14, 1904.

This life mask of Beethoven is based on an original mold made in 1812 by Franz Klein. In the nineteenth century, several copies of the mask were produced, and this bronze version in the Theodore Thomas collection is likely one of those. Since Beethoven rarely had the patience to sit for portraits, artists would frequently look to Klein’s sculpture as reference instead. Another mold was taken two days after the composer died in 1827—of course, a death mask—but this mask remains the most accurate likeness of the composer during his lifetime.

No. 1: Composer Cycles and RetrospectivesWhile this season he honors the 250th anniversary of the birth of Ludwig van Beethoven by conducting his nine symphonies, Riccardo Muti has also brought special attention to the work of many composers throughout his tenure as the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s tenth music director. Listening to the works of these composers in a concentrated way and with the benefit Muti’s exceptional interpretations from the podium has led to a deeper understanding and appreciation of both familiar and lesser-known music. As CSO Trombone Michael Mulcahy said of Maestro Muti, “When he comes on stage, the room changes because you know this is serious event, you know something important is going to happen.”

the music of verdi: “For more than forty years, Riccardo Muti has been the king of Verdi conductors, the one who most makes you feel you are hearing the composer’s operas for the very first time,” read The New York Times following performances of Falstaff (April 2016). Audiences have had the pleasure of hearing Muti and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chorus perform many works by Verdi, including his Requiem (January 2009, October 2013, and November 2018), Aida (June 2019), and all three of his operas based on Shakespeare’s plays, beginning with Otello (April 2011), followed by Macbeth (September and October 2013), and Falstaff. Muti’s interpretations have revealed the infinite nuances of Verdi’s scores and their ability to express the complex emotions and motivations of his characters.

During his first season as music director, Muti and the Orchestra and Chorus presented Otello at Carnegie Hall on April 15, 2011, following three earlier per-formances at Orchestra Hall. Coinciding with the 200th anniversary of Verdi’s birth in 2013, CSO Resound released a recording of the Otello performances.

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

the music of schubert: “When you hear the music of Schubert, you go home enriched,” said Muti in antici-pation of his presentation of Schubert’s Mass in A-flat major and eight symphonies during the 2013–14 season—the first complete cycle in a single season in the Orchestra’s history of Schubert’s seven completed symphonies and the Unfinished Symphony no. 8. “This is music of abundant satisfaction,” said Scholar-in-Residence and Program Annotator Phillip Huscher, “It coaxes players to listen to one another as if they were playing chamber music and to sing with their instru-ments; it gives audiences a rare sense of inner pleasure, of well-being. Behind the polished veneer of the scores, you sense that Schubert, as one of his friends once said, was reaching for the stars.”Muti conducting the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chorus and soloists Rosa Feola (soprano), Michaela Selinger (mezzo-soprano), Antonio Poli (tenor), and Riccardo Zanellato (bass) in Schubert’s Mass no. 5 in A-flat major on February 6, 2014, as part of the season-long celebration of Schubert.

the symphonies of br ahms: In May 2017, Riccardo Muti conducted Brahms’s four symphonies in two sets of con-certs. As John von Rhein wrote in the Chicago Tribune, “It takes a conductor of experience, not to mention the wisdom . . . to bring something insightful to this well-worn corpus of mas-terpieces. . . . Those insights are there in the Brahms symphony cycle Riccardo Muti is conclud-ing with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.” So convincing were those performances that, Muti selected the symphonies of Brahms to represent the Orchestra on tour nationally and internationally in subsequent seasons.

Muti and the CSO perform Brahms’s Symphony no. 2 at Lane Tech College Prep High School, November 15, 2017. As part of his vision to expand the impact of the CSO throughout the city, Muti has conducted the Orchestra in an annual community concert since 2010.

tchaikovsk y and scriabin: As a main theme of the CSO’s 2014–15 programming, Muti explored the music of two Russian giants with a common heritage but distinc-tive styles. Journalist Peter Lefevre wrote of the Tchaikovsky/Scriabin theme, “They contain an encyclopedic overview of their native country, pointing toward history but also the future. Simple folk songs and Orthodox hymns at one end, apocalyptic chaos at the other, in the middle the ballets, operas and waltzes that continue to inspire and enchant the world over.”A centerpiece of the CSO’s complete tra-versal of Tchaikovsky’s symphonies began with a free community con-cert on September 19, 2014, in Millennium Park featuring Tchaikovsky’s Symphony no. 4, along with The Tempest and Suite from The Sleeping Beauty.

16 CSO.ORG

10a perfectthe music of bruckner: The CSO has a distinguished history of performing the works of Anton Bruckner since the Orchestra’s first music director, Theodore Thomas, conducted the Fourth Symphony in 1897. Muti has continued this tradition, conduct-ing six of his nine symphonies as well as the Te Deum since his appointment. “Nobility, lyrical feeling, and dramatic thrust are keys to Muti’s approach to the Bruckner symphonies,” said the Chicago Tribune.

James R. Oestreich of The New York Times named Muti’s CSO Resound release of Bruckner’s Symphony no. 9 one of the best classical music recordings of 2017.

the music of prokofie v: Muti has championed the diverse music of Sergei Prokofiev. In 2007, he chose the Third Symphony for his first performances with the Orchestra since his 1975 Orchestra Hall debut and con-ducted it again in June 2018. “The first time was very good. I felt the power of the orchestra and the precision of the orchestra. This time,” he said, with obvious satisfaction,

referring to the 2018 performance, “I was much more impressed by the subtlety of the orchestra. The power was still there . . . but the orchestra was singing, even in the most brutal music that the symphony requires.”Muti undertook performances of two of Prokofiev’s monumental scores for the films of Sergei Eisenstein: Alexander Nevsky in January 2015 and Ivan the Terrible in February 2017. Seen here is Muti conducting the Orchestra and Chorus with actor Gérard Depardieu performing the title role in Ivan the Terrible.

italian composers of the nineteenth and t wentieth centuries: One of the great benefits of having an Italian music director is that he is no more than one or two degrees of separation from great Italian compos-ers himself. A living disciple of Arturo Toscanini through his own teacher, Antonino Votto, Muti has conducted many symphonic and operatic works by Italian composers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, including Cherubini, Rossini, Verdi, Boito, Catalani, Martucci, Puccini, Mascagni, Giordano, Respighi, and others.

“Muti delivers on promise, leads thrilling Cherubini Requiem with CSO, Chorus” read the headline in the Chicago Tribune following the March 17, 2012, performance.


MUTI HONORS CULTURAL HISTORY AND KARAJAN: A SUMMER IN REVIEW

A fter triumphant performances of Verdi’s Aida with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chorus in June, Riccardo

Muti embarked upon a summer filled with engagements across Europe.

To begin, Muti traveled to Athens to conduct Beethoven’s Symphony no. 9 at the Twenty-Third Annual Roads of Friendship, a project of the Ravenna Festival in Italy that presents large-scale concerts to bring attention to current social, cul-tural, and humanitarian issues. This year’s perfor-mances, on July 9 and 11, took place at the historic Odeon of Herodes Atticus and then at the Palazzo Mauro de André to honor the Ravenna Festival’s thirtieth anniversary season. Muti led more than 200 musicians from the combined forces of members of orchestras and choruses from across Greece and the Luigi Cherubini Youth Orchestra, as well as distinguished soloists.

Next, Muti led the fifth edition of his Italian Opera Academy, this year focused on Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro. As in previous years, the musicians of the Luigi Cherubini Youth Orchestra, opera singers, and a group of talented young conductors and répétiteurs assembled, along with dedicated audience members, at the Teatro Dante Alighieri in Ravenna for two weeks of focused study with the distinguished conductor as their guide. Li-Kuo Chang, the CSO’s Acting Principal Viola, joined the academy as a special

guest. “Listening to Maestro Muti’s analysis in such an intimate and unhurried atmosphere, has revealed more of Mozart’s and Da Ponte’s double meanings in the opera.”

On August 3, Italian President Sergio Mattarella attended a special concert conducted by Riccardo Muti in honor of the seventieth season of the Sagra Musicale festival at the historic Galli Theater in the city of Rimini, where Verdi’s opera Aroldo was premiered in the presence of the composer. “It is a great thrill to be here tonight in this wonderfully restored and reopened theater to listen to a master like Riccardo Muti,” Mattarella said. In addition to the sold-out concert in the theater, thousands enjoyed a live relay of the performance projected onto a large screen in the Piazza Malatesta.

Muti then traveled to Austria for his annual performances at the Salzburg Festival. This year’s concerts included three sold-out performances of Verdi’s Requiem given in honor of the thirtieth anniversary of the death of Herbert von Karajan. Karlheinz Roschitz of Kronen Zeitung noted that “what made this performance particularly exciting was the development of [Muti’s] interpre-tation, with which he has been directly following the Karajan tradition since his Salzburg debut in 1971.” When Susanne Zobl of Austria’s Kurier described the performance, she wrote, “That was perfect music-making. Ovation.”

Negaunee Music Institute programs celebrate 100th anniversaries

R eaching over 200,000 people annually, the programs of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s Negaunee Music Institute provide broad access to the CSO, educate young

listeners, train young musicians, and serve the city and the world through music. All concerts and events are offered to the public free of charge, or at a nominal fee, and aim to dissolve barriers to participation and diversify the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association’s audiences.

The 2019–20 season marks the 100th anniversaries of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago and the CSO’s concert series for children. Established in 1919 by the CSO’s second music director, Frederick Stock, these programs are today the foundation of the Orchestra’s educational activities.

To honor the milestone anniversary, this season includes a benefit gala on March 1, 2020, featuring world-renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma as soloist, under the direction of newly appointed Civic Orchestra Principal Conductor Ken-David Masur.

The centennial anniversary of the CSO’s concert series for chil-dren is pleased to provide free admission and school bus transpor-tation to the performances for Chicago Public Schools students. Concert programs, focusing on the season’s theme of Leading Voices, encourage audiences to examine how a composer’s perspective, experience, and identity are expressed through music.

March 26–28, 2020, the CSO School and Family Concerts will feature the World Premiere and CSO Co-commission of Mason Bates’ Philharmonia Fantastique: The Making of the Orchestra. The piece is a virtuosic concerto for orchestra and animated film. The piece zooms inside orchestral instruments to discover how sound is made and brings the instrument families together in a spectacular, pulsing finale.

Ideas for the Violin Concerto and the celebrated Fifth Symphony appear side by side in sketchbooks dating from 1806, reminding us that Beethoven often worked on a number of important pieces simultane-ously, and that the lyrical and heroic sides of his musical nature were never completely separate. By 1806, the powerful C minor symphony had already been in the works for

two years, but it wouldn’t reach its final form until early 1808. The serene and noble Violin Concerto, on the other hand, was written quickly in 1806 and finished just in time for its premiere that December.

The concerto was written for Franz Clement, a gifted young violinist who was exploited at an early age by an enterprising father. Like Beethoven, he played in public for the first time when he was seven years old. But where the young Beethoven’s early years were spent in Bonn, Clement was dragged through Europe’s music centers by his father, who behaved as if he had a young Mozart in his care. In 1789, eight-year-old Franz started an album that in five years would encompass 415 pages of auto-graphs and congratulatory messages gathered from leading figures in Germany, England, Holland, Belgium, and wherever else his father took him. In 1791, when Haydn was in Oxford to receive his honorary doctorate, “little Clement” played at a concert in his honor, and Haydn dutifully signed his name in the boy’s book. On a page dated 1794, Vienna, we find the autograph of Ludwig van Beethoven.

It was a number of years before Beethoven and Clement met again, but after the violinist was appointed conductor and con-certmaster of Vienna’s Theater an der Wien in 1802, their paths often crossed. Clement was the concertmaster for the premiere of the Eroica Symphony in April 1805, and it was just a matter of months before Beethoven began his only violin concerto to fulfill a request from Clement. (Beethoven had started a violin con-certo in the early 1790s, when he was living in Bonn, but stopped work halfway through the first movement.)

Apparently the concerto was written in some haste, and, if popular legend can be trusted, was barely finished in time for the premiere on December 23, 1806, when it was performed

COMMENTS

without sufficient rehearsal. That same legend insists that Clement played the work at sight that night, and—as if credibility weren’t already strained—that he interpolated a piece of his own between the first and second movements, playing with his violin held upside down. Like a num-ber of works that have overcome unsuccessful premieres to find a large and enthusiastic public, Beethoven’s Violin Concerto took some time to earn a place in the repertory. It doesn’t quickly or easily reveal its special beauty, and a number of early performances were coolly received. Not until the historic London performance of 1844, with the thirteen-year-old Joseph Joachim as soloist and Felix Mendelssohn conducting, did this concerto finally win approval.

In the meantime, at the suggestion of pianist-turned-publisher Muzio Clementi, Beethoven arranged the concerto for piano and orchestra to secure a wider audience. The transcription cost him little effort—essentially finding something for the left hand to do while the right hand added minimal ornamentation to the original violin part—but it also found little success in this form, sounding makeshift and proving that what’s sub-lime on the violin may well seem commonplace on the keyboard.

That this concerto was written especially for Clement is apparent not only from the dedica-tion (with its pun on clemency towards the poor composer), but from its graceful, delicate, and tender tone—all words used to describe Clement’s elegant playing. Perhaps inspired by his soloist’s musical nature, Beethoven finds an inner repose and an expansive, noble tone that’s a remarkable contrast to the grand statements of the Eroica and Fifth symphonies, until one remembers that these same years also produced the calm and gra-cious Fourth Symphony and the gentle G major piano concerto.

A s the critic Donald Tovey pointed out long ago, almost all of Beethoven’s flashes of genius in this concerto are mysteri-

ously quiet. The opening is a case in point: four soft strokes of the timpani, answered by gentle chords in the winds. It may well have seemed like madness to start a piece with unaccompanied drumbeats in 1806 (there’s no precedent for such a thing), but the soft dynamic, measured tempo, and calm wind music preclude our hearing it

as the least bit revolutionary. Even in 1806 it drew no particular crit-icism. What’s considerably more disruptive (and also marked piano) is the entrance of the first violins only eight bars later, imitating the drumbeats on D-sharp, probably the last note one would think of placing so prominently at this point in a D major concerto. It was written as E-flat in the first sketches, suggesting Beethoven’s own ambivalence about

its function, and, since it’s not harmonized (and thus explained) till later in the movement, it nags at us for some time.

The most important moment in any concerto is the entrance of the soloist, which is handled differently and with great imagination in each of Beethoven’s mature concertos. The novelty of the Fourth Piano Concerto, written the same year as this one for violin, is the unprecedented appear-ance of the unaccompanied soloist in the very first measure. Here Beethoven takes the opposite approach, delaying the soloist’s first notes as long as possible, and, even then, making the violin climb up, almost unnoticed, above the full orches-tra before it begins to attract attention.

From here, the solo violin plays tirelessly vir-tuosic music until the very last measures of the movement (even joining in after the cadenza), often singing at the very top of its range. There are many subtle touches here, like the absence of the drumbeat when the violin plays the second theme,

a b ov eStephan von Breuning (1774–1827), lifelong friend of Beethoven and dedicatee of the Violin Concerto


COMMENTS

even though it had seemed an integral part of that music when the orchestra played it the first time.

The Larghetto is, almost uniquely in Beethoven’s output, music without action, con-ceived as a set of variations on a theme that goes nowhere, has no inherent contrast of material, and doesn’t imply any change of key. The result is a romance, as Beethoven called it, of breathtak-ing stillness and restricted dynamic range, which rises once in the middle and again in the very last bars over a multitude of p and pp markings. There’s fresh detail and invention at every turn, and, surprisingly, a growing sense of energy. The violin even slips in an entirely new theme after the third variation and then goes on to the fourth as if nothing has happened. Beethoven stays steadfastly in G major until the very end, when the simple move to the dominant to introduce

the finale sounds altogether extraordinary. Since this kind of contemplative music doesn’t end easily, the violin takes the situation in hand and moves directly into the pastoral theme of the rondo-finale.

This simple, genial tune is so distinctive that Beethoven sees no reason to alter even one note whenever it comes back (thus saving himself the trouble of copying it out each time—a useful shortcut when writing on deadline). The finale’s progress is straightforward, with few real sur-prises, except for two pizzicato notes from the soloist, the only ones in the whole concerto. As in the first movement, Beethoven makes something captivating of the soloist’s trilling at the end of the cadenza, here dropping down into A-flat—the key most removed from D major—and then swinging back in a flash for the final bars.

World premiere

This music was commissioned by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra to celebrate the eighty-fifth birthday, last March, of one of America’s most honored composers. Bernard Rands is the rare living composer who has enjoyed a long line of continuity with our orchestra, which first played his music more than a quarter century ago, and has performed his works under both its most

recent music directors—Daniel Barenboim and Riccardo Muti—as well as under Pierre Boulez, the Orchestra’s late conductor emeritus. It was Boulez who introduced Rands’s music to the Chicago Symphony, leading performances of Le Tambourin, Suites 1 and 2 in 1993.

Born in Sheffield, England, and a student of music and litera-ture at the University of Wales, early on Rands became fascinated with the lyrically inclined serial music of the Italian composer Luigi Dallapiccola. Rands went to Italy in 1958 to study not only with Dallapiccola, but also with Luciano Berio and Roman Vlad. In the early 1960s, he attended the composition classes of Pierre Boulez and Bruno Maderna at Darmstadt. His understanding of

COMMENTS

music expanded greatly in the experimental, hot-house environment of Darmstadt, but, as he says today, “I was always with the Italians.” In 1966, Rands was awarded a Harkness International Fellowship that brought him to the United States; he spent a year at both Princeton and the University of Illinois. He returned to England to teach at York and at Oxford, but immigrated to the United States in 1975 and became a citizen in 1983. Within a year, this new U.S. citizen had won the 1984 Pulitzer Prize for his song cycle for tenor and orchestra, Canti del Sole (Songs of the sun).

Rands first came in touch with Riccardo Muti in the 1960s, when both men were living in Florence, Italy, where Muti had been appointed music director of the Maggio Musicale, the first major post of his career. The first time Rands saw Muti lead an orchestra, he knew that this was someone he would want to work with: he was struck by the depth of the young conductor’s passion—how the music seemed to come out of his entire body.

In 1988, Rands received a note from Muti, who had become music director of the Philadelphia Orchestra in 1980 and was looking for a composer-in-residence. When the two men met in Philadelphia, they bonded at once; they spoke Italian together, which may have helped break the ice, but in a deeper sense they turned out to speak the same language. “He understands my music and he understands what motivates me to make it the way it is,” Rands says today. After Rands became the Philadelphia Orchestra’s resident com-poser in 1989, Muti commissioned, performed, and recorded several of Rands’s major works, including Le Tambourin, Suites 1 and 2—the earliest of his compositions on the subject of the Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh—which won the 1986 Kennedy Center Friedheim Award. (Rands’s interest in van Gogh, which began when he visited the Vincent van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam on its opening day in 1973 and has only deepened over the past decades, reached a climax in April 2011, when Indiana University gave the premiere of his long-awaited opera Vincent.) In Chicago, Muti has continued to play and commission Rands’s music, and Rands is keenly aware of how

significant it is for a conductor to stand by a com-poser for so many years.

Rands’s large catalog of works, which includes significant, highly regarded pieces of vocal, orchestral, and chamber music, dates back to 1960. He has been writing music steadily—one could say routinely, except that the product is so far from routine—ever since and he came by his no-nonsense work ethic naturally. “My father got up and went to work every morning,” Rands has said, “and I believe I have to do the same.” This has been his pattern, his way of life, now for some sixty years, and he still gets up early and begins to write. “I know best who I am when I’m working,” he says.

DREAM is the third work the Chicago Symphony has commissioned from Rands, follow-ing apókryphos, which the Orchestra premiered under Barenboim in 2003, and Danza Petrificata, which Muti introduced here in May 2011, and then took on tour with the Orchestra that sum-mer, giving performances in Salzburg, Lucerne, Luxembourg, Paris, and Vienna. It is the latest work from a composer whose style has remained steadfastly true to its earliest principles for some six decades. It is still made from the same tough, rigorously thought-through material that Rands has long been known for, but, like much of his music in recent years, it hangs on to a sense of melodic line—DREAM makes extensive use of a melody he composed in-flight years ago—and consonance. “In the 1960s no one was more excited than I was about the possible expressive expansion of dissonance,” Rands says today. “But in order for it to be completely effective, there must be its opposite somewhere—in other words consonance.” Long ago, Rands’s music found its own equilibrium. “I’m pretty tired of dissonance,” Rands says, with a shrug. DREAM was very spe-cifically written for the Chicago Symphony, which Rands first heard when Sir Georg Solti brought the Orchestra to London nearly fifty years ago, and often hears in rehearsal and concert now that he lives in downtown Chicago with his wife, Augusta Read Thomas, who was the Orchestra’s composer-in-residence from 1997 to 2006. “I have a very clear aural sense of what the Orchestra is,” he says.


COMMENTS

Bernard Rands on DREAM for Orchestra

T he title DREAM is not intended to suggest a musical evocation of a specific dream. Rather, the musical form of this composi-

tion models some of the general characteristics of dreams—unpredictable and fantastic juxtapo-sitions; exotic simultaneities; recognizable and mysterious images blended together; intense clarity; opaque chaos; moments of nightmarish intensity—all unfolding in unreal time and often linked by a single, dominating element. This landscape of the mind allows me to explore a post-Debussian formal aesthetic I have been developing over many years.

Some thirty-five years ago, to alleviate the boredom of a flight from London to Sydney, I composed an extended melody—not for any

immediate composition project, just a chal-lenging exercise! I have twice since revisited that melody—in London Serenade for Chamber Orchestra, where it has a simple melodic func-tion, and . . . body and shadow . . . for large orchestra, where its inherent harmonies are explored. Here, in DREAM, it is the DNA of the work, i.e., every aspect of the composition—its melodic, harmonic, rhythmic, contrapuntal, timbral, textural, contour, mood, and formal proportions are all derived from the melody. It is DREAM’s dominating and unifying element. At first fragmented, the tiny modules gradu-ally accrue until the final section of the work is totally dominated by the complete melody played by unison strings (Largamente) but still accom-panied by slightly quirky, dreamlike harmonies in the winds.

Mazeppa, Symphonic Poem No. 6

a b ov eFranz Liszt, oil portrait by Miklós Barabás (1810–1898), 1847. Hungarian National Museum

On May 5, 1856, Liszt sent the newly published scores of six of his symphonic poems, including Mazeppa, to Richard Wagner. In return, Wagner sent off the original scores to Das Rheingold and Die Walküre, followed by a letter full of

kind words for Liszt’s newest efforts. The two composers had been unusually close for many years, each sometimes alone in appreciating what the other was up to, although in the next decade, when Wagner fathered two children with Liszt’s daughter Cosima, the relationship was severely strained. But in 1856—Wagner never suspecting that he would one day have to accept Liszt as his

father-in-law—they were united in pushing music toward a new frontier. That November, Liszt and Wagner even shared a concert in St. Gallen, with Wagner conducting the Eroica Symphony and Liszt his own Orpheus and Les préludes. Scholars and musicians have argued over their comparative success ever since, and, although it is Wagner, largely by virtue of an advanced case of self-promotion and a very modern understanding of public relations, who is generally seen as the greater revolutionary, there are those who would agree with the verdict of Princess Sayn-Wittgenstein, who knew them both: “[Liszt] has hurled his lance much farther into the future than Wagner.”

There are a number of common misconceptions about Liszt’s symphonic poems. Liszt did invent

the name—the term sinfonische Dichtung (symphonic poem) was used for the first time in 1854—to describe music that did not strictly follow any of the classical forms, and that was, in some way, related to literary or pictorial works. But he did not invent the musical concept, which is a logical outgrowth of the single-movement dramatic overtures of Beethoven, rather than multi-movement program symphonies like Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique. There are precedents as well for Liszt’s important experiments with one-movement forms and for his use of the-matic transformation, often in place of a Beethovenian devel-opment of material. Schubert’s Wanderer Fantasy, which Liszt knew well, played spectacularly, and later arranged for piano and orchestra, anticipates much that is essential to Liszt’s best work.

The novelty of Liszt’s symphonic poems is that, like Berlioz in his Symphonie fantastique, he took ideas that were in the air and made something unimagined, distinctive, successful, and highly influential. Without Liszt’s symphonic poems, Smetana’s Ma vlást, Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet, and Strauss’s Death and Transfiguration are unthinkable.

When Mazeppa was first performed in the United States in the 1860s, a critic dismissed it as “the uttermost trash ever given to a New York public.” But over time, as Liszt’s scores were played more often, particularly in the high-profile concerts conducted by Theodore Thomas, who would found the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (then known as the Chicago Orchestra) in 1891, his music became the rage. Thomas alone performed more orches-tral works by Liszt in America than any other conductor, and with the world premiere of Hamlet in New York in 1873, he accomplished his goal of presenting all of Liszt’s symphonic poems and programmatic sym-phonies in this country. (Even Liszt himself never led all his major orchestral works in Europe.)

In 1871, Liszt wrote to Thomas to thank him for his championship. “I have often heard of the famous performances of the orchestra under your direction, and our mutual friend, Julius Schuberth, delighted me especially by telling me of the unusual care you have given to the perfor-mance of my works,” he wrote. “They need—even more than other, better-known compositions—the sympathetic and intelligent care of the conduc-tor, on account of the many changes of tempo and tone color. The unfortunately too-frequent reading-at-sight performances are not sufficient for them.” When Liszt and Thomas met at the composer’s home in Weimar in 1880, Thomas wrote in his diary: “His geniality was beyond all expression, and this meeting with him was, in itself, worth the

journey from New York. . . . Now I am very glad to have seen the giant, for the world looks so much the smaller to me.”

It was inevitable that Thomas would program Liszt’s music regularly in Chicago, and in fact he conducted something by Liszt each of his fourteen seasons with the Orchestra. Both Les préludes, the most enduring of the symphonic poems, and Mazeppa were performed the first season. But fashions change, and although Les préludes still shows up on Chicago Symphony programs from time to time, the Orchestra has not played Mazeppa in more than seventy years.

Like many of Liszt’s symphonic poems, Mazeppa is a musical portrait of a legendary hero, in this case the Lithuanian nobleman Ivan Mazeppa, whose illicit love affair with a Polish princess who was married to an older man invoked a brutal punishment: Mazeppa was stripped naked and tied to a horse set free to run through the wilderness. Mazeppa was found by the Cossacks, who named him their hetman, the highest rank in their military. The legend inspired poems by both Lord Byron and Victor Hugo. As the 1892 Chicago program book says, “The sixth of Liszt’s symphonic poems has for its theme Byron’s familiar poem of the Cossack hetman, although the composer is inclined to follow the reading of Victor Hugo, who, adopting the story as told by Bryon, idealizes the incident into an allegory of

the unbridled flight of genius and its final triumph over suffering and adversity.”

L iszt first translated the Mazeppa legend into music for piano, ultimately turning it into one of his extravagantly virtuosic

Transcendental Etudes for piano in 1837, before he made this grand, expansive, full-scale orchestral version as the sixth of his symphonic poems. The opening horse ride is frantic and relentlessly driven in both versions, although it is the sheer orchestral wizardry of the symphonic poem that best conjures Hugo’s image of “the sound of a whirlwind of dust.” Like Mazeppa’s own ride, the music eventually comes to a complete halt, exhausted by its vehemence and sheer repetitive-ness. (The silence, after so much orchestral pan-demonium, is stunning, and the following music, halting and quiet, is all the more effective for being so slow.) All is spent; the torturous journey is over: “The horse falls to the cries of a thousand birds of prey,” Hugo writes. When the music rises again, it is in the form of a great march, complete with triangle and cymbals, to celebrate the trium-phant hero.

Phillip Huscher has been the program annotator for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra since 1987.

Norman Schweikert (1937–2018)

The Chicago Symphony Orchestra family recalls with sorrow the passing of Norman Schweikert, a member of the horn section from 1971 until 1997. He died at his home on Washington Island, Wisconsin, on December 31, 2018, at the age of eighty-one. Nationally recognized for his research into the lives of U.S. orchestra musicians, Schweikert also was one of the founding members of the International Horn Society.

Riccardo Muti Conductor

Born in Naples, Italy, Riccardo Muti is one of the preeminent conductors of our day. In 2010, when he became the tenth music director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO), he had more than forty years of experience

at the helm of Maggio Musicale Fiorentino (1968–80), the Philharmonia Orchestra (1973–82), the Philadelphia Orchestra (1980–92), and Teatro alla Scala (1986–2005).

Muti studied piano under Vincenzo Vitale at the Conservatory of San Pietro a Majella in his hometown of Naples, graduating with distinction. He subsequently received a diploma in compo-sition and conducting from the Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory in Milan, also graduating with distinction. His principal teachers were Bruno Bettinelli and Antonino Votto, principal assistant to Arturo Toscanini at La Scala. After he won the Guido Cantelli Conducting Competition—by unanimous vote of the jury—in Milan in 1967, Muti’s career developed quickly. In 1968, he became principal conductor of Florence’s Maggio Musicale, a position that he held until 1980.

Herbert von Karajan invited him to conduct at the Salzburg Festival in Austria in 1971, and Muti has maintained a close relationship with the summer festival and with its great orchestra, the Vienna Philharmonic, for more than forty-five years. When he conducted the philharmonic’s 150th anniversary concert in 1992, he was pre-sented with the Golden Ring, a special sign of esteem and affection, and in 2001, his outstanding artistic contributions to the orchestra were further recognized with the Otto Nicolai Gold Medal. He is also a recipient of a silver medal from the Salzburg Mozarteum for his contribution to the music of W.A. Mozart and the Golden Johann Strauss Award by the Johann Strauss Society of Vienna. He is an honorary member of Vienna’s Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde (Society of the Friends of Music), the Vienna Hofmusikkapelle,

the Vienna Philharmonic, and the Vienna State Opera.

Muti succeeded Otto Klemperer as chief conductor and music director of London’s Philharmonia Orchestra in 1973, holding that position until 1982. From 1980 to 1992, he was music director of the Philadelphia Orchestra, and in 1986, he became music director of Milan’s Teatro alla Scala. During his nineteen-year tenure, Muti conducted operatic and symphonic reper-toire ranging from the baroque to the contempo-rary, also leading hundreds of concerts with the Filarmonica della Scala and touring the world with both the opera company and the orchestra. His tenure as music director, the longest of any in La Scala’s history, culminated in the trium-phant reopening of the restored opera house with Antonio Salieri’s Europa riconosciuta, originally commissioned for La Scala’s inaugural perfor-mance in 1778.

Muti has received innumerable interna-tional honors. He is a Cavaliere di Gran Croce of the Italian Republic, Officer of the French Legion of Honor, and a recipient of the German Verdienstkreuz. Queen Elizabeth II bestowed on him the title of honorary Knight Commander of the British Empire, Russian President Vladimir Putin awarded him the Order of Friendship, and Pope Benedict XVI made him a Knight of the Grand Cross First Class of the Order of Saint Gregory the Great—the highest papal honor. Muti also has received Israel’s Wolf Prize in Music, Sweden’s prestigious Birgit Nilsson Prize, Spain’s Prince of Asturias Award for the Arts, from Japan the Order of the Rising Sun Gold and Silver Star and most recently the Praemium Imperiale, and the gold medal from Italy’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs for his pro-motion of Italian culture abroad as well as the prestigious “Presidente della Repubblica” award from the Italian government and the Viareggio Repaci Special Prize. Muti has received more than twenty honorary degrees from universities around the world.

Passionate about teaching young musi-cians, Muti founded the Luigi Cherubini Youth Orchestra in 2004 and the Riccardo Muti

Italian Opera Academy in 2015. Through Le vie dell’Amicizia (The roads of friendship), a project of the Ravenna Festival in Italy, he has conducted in many of the world’s most troubled areas in order to bring attention to civic and social issues.

Riccardo Muti’s vast catalog of recordings, numbering in the hundreds, ranges from the tra-ditional symphonic and operatic repertoires to contemporary works. He also has written three books, Verdi, l’italiano and Riccardo Muti: An Autobiography: First the Music, Then the Words, both of which have been published in several languages, as well as Infinity Between the Notes: My Journey Into Music, published May 2019 and available in Italian.

During his time with the CSO, Muti has won over audiences in greater Chicago and across the globe through his music making as well as his demonstrated commitment to sharing classical music. His first annual free concert as CSO music director attracted more than 25,000 people to Millennium Park. He regularly invites subscribers, students, seniors, and people of low incomes to attend, at no charge, his CSO rehearsals. Muti’s commitment to artistic excel-lence and to creating a strong bond between an orchestra and its communities continues to bring the Chicago Symphony Orchestra to ever higher levels of achievement and renown.

Honors in Genoa and Elegance in MunichRiccardo Muti received an honorary degree in international sciences from the University of Genoa in an October 5 ceremony at the city’s historic Palazzo Ducale. After offering brief remarks, Muti led stu-dents from Genoa’s Niccolò Paganini Conservatory of Music in the second movement of Beethoven’s Symphony no. 3 (Eroica). Muti dedicated the performance to the memory of two police officers killed in the line of duty in the northern Italian city of Trieste on October 4. He then turned his attention to the young students, celebrating their talents and advocating for the support of Italy’s cultural heritage.

I think that young musicians know how to express the sense of universal pain that is found in Beethoven, even if they do not have it inside them because they are young. . . . Music is the only art that can unite such different cultures. Through music, people from different countries—stories, language, age—manage to express the same feelings.

On October 17 and 18, Riccardo Muti conducted the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra and Chorus in Franz Schubert’s 1828 Mass in E-flat major, in addition to performances of the composer’s Unfinished Symphony and Overture in the Italian Style in C major. “He interpreted Schubert through the lens of Rossini, with elegant delicacy and refinement,” read the Suddeutsche Zeitung. The Abendzeitung added, “Muti’s strength is to transform all the emotional aspects of the music into sound.” The October 18 performance was broadcast live on BR-Klassik.

Corriere della Sera, in collaboration with Riccardo Muti Music, has released a series of ten CDs and one DVD of exceptional recordings made by Maestro Muti with the Luigi Cherubini Youth Orchestra, which he founded in 2004. The set is called Lezioni di Musica: Riccardo Muti (Music lessons: Riccardo Muti). More information will follow on the set’s U.S. release.

Leonidas Kavakos is recog-nized as a violinist and artist of rare quality, known for his virtuosity, superb musician-ship, and the integrity of his playing. By the age of twenty-one, Kavakos had won three major competi-tions: International Jean

Sibelius (1985), Paganini, and Naumburg (1988). This success led to his recording of the original version of Sibelius’s Violin Concerto (1903–4), the first of the work in history, which won the Gramophone Concerto of the Year Award in 1991. Kavakos was named Gramophone Artist of the Year 2014; in 2017 he won the Léonie Sonning Music Prize, Denmark’s most prestigious musical honor.

Highlights of Kavakos’s 2019–20 season include the October 2019 Sony Classical release of his recording of Beethoven’s Violin Concerto, which he led with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra; and a U.S. tour with Emanuel Ax and Yo-Yo Ma performing Beethoven’s string

trios, concluding with three concerts at Carnegie Hall. In North America, he performs with the symphony orchestras of Houston, Philadelphia, and Montreal, as well as with the Munich Philharmonic at Carnegie Hall and the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra in Boston. In Europe, he appears with the Vienna Philharmonic, London Symphony Orchestra, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam, Mariinsky Orchestra in St. Petersburg, and the Orchestre de Paris, among others. In addition, he performs with the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra, Singapore Symphony Orchestra, Seoul and Taiwan philhar-monic orchestras and gives recitals in Shanghai and Xinghai.

Kavakos has developed close relationships with many of the world’s most prestigious orches-tras. More recently, he also has built a strong profile as a conductor. This season, he leads the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, Czech Philharmonic, and the RAI National Symphony Orchestra in Torino.

Leonidas Kavakos is an exclusive artist on the Sony Classical label, for which he has previously recorded Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto and Mozart’s violin concertos, as conductor and solo-ist, with the Camerata Salzburg. In 2017, he joined Ma and Ax for a recording of Brahms’s trios. Upcoming recording projects include Bach’s unac-companied sonatas and partitas. His other record-ings, all on the Decca label, include Kavakos: Virtuoso, Brahms’s violin sonatas with pianist Yuja Wang, Brahms’s Violin Concerto with the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, and Beethoven’s violin sonatas with pianist Enrico Pace.

He plays the “Willemotte” Stradivarius violin of 1734.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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