THE RTV SLOVENIA SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

Sozvočje sodelovanjaNaše sodelovanje s Simfoničnim orkestrom RTV Slovenija temelji na skupnem spoznanju, da je resnična moč virtuoznosti v sozvočju posameznika in kolektiva.

Tako kot v glasbenem svetu umetniške stvaritve ne nastanejo čez noč, ampak morajo dozoreti, tudi snovanje varne prihodnosti zahteva svoj čas in zaupanje.

Spoštovani in dragi abonenti,

lepo pozdravljeni na pragu nove predjubilejne 59. sezone Simfoničnega orkestra RTV Slovenija.

Verjamemo, da naše koncerte obiskujete z željo po dobri glasbi, ki jo po najboljših močeh oblikujemo v nabor uveljavljenih del in skrbno izbranih novosti.

Z veseljem predstavljamo soliste, ki se morda v svetovnem merilu še niso uveljavili tako, kot bi si zaslužili, vendar po glasbenem, umetniškem in osebnostnem izrazu komaj ali pa sploh ne zaostajajo za najboljšimi.

Ponovno odpiramo vrata sodelovanju z drugimi orkestri in ansambli, vse v smislu kakovostnih izvedb z nadgradnjo, ki je dobrodošla, in vsem nam v izziv.

Tako bomo s Šlezijsko filharmonijo iz Katowic (Poljska) združili moči v 7. simfoniji Dmitrija Šostakoviča. Z enim najimenitnejših ansamblov za sodobno glasbo - Ensemblom Modern iz Frankfurta pa bomo pod vodstvom Johannesa Kalitzkeja pripravili zelo poseben glasbeni dogodek, oblikovan okrog skladbe ‘Changeover’ - zanjo je naš, tudi v tujini uveljavljeni skladatelj Vito Žuraj prejel nagrado Nemškega glasbenega združenja (Deutscher Musikrat).

Velika zanimivost bo tudi krstna izvedba simfonije Mont

Blanc, ki jo je skupaj ustvarilo pet skladateljev iz petih evropskih držav.

Prvič boste imeli priložnost slišati tudi novo delo Mateja Bonina in slovensko prvo izvedbo skladbe De profundis Yoava Talmija, ki jo bo maestro z našim orkestrom tudi sam izvedel.

Seveda pa vam ponujamo tudi veliko ‘starejše’ glasbe. Če smo se v pretekli sezoni sprehodili od baroka do jazza, bomo zdaj pozornost namenili pretežno romantični glasbi. Simfonična dela Dvořáka, Brahmsa, Čajkovskega, Sibeliusa, Brucknerja, Berlioza, kot tudi koncertna izvedba Puccinijeve opere Gianni Schicchi, bodo zazveneli pod taktirko dirigentov, ki smo jih delno že spoznali. Veseli smo, da je z nami še vedno naš šef dirigent En Shao, ponovno bomo pozdravili Daniela Raiskina, Yoava Talmija in Lorenza Castrioto, prvič v našem abonmajskem ciklu pa bosta nastopila George Pehlivanian in Benoît Fromanger.

Kot solisti se bodo predstavili naš odlični solist čelist Dragan Đorđević, izvrstni mladi saksofonist Jan Gričar, izjemno nadarjena violinistka Lana Trotovšek, mednarodno uveljavljeni mladi nemški violinist Erik Schumann in vrsta odličnih pevcev, ki jih bomo za to priložnost skrbno izbrali.

Obeta se nam torej devet bogatih glasbenih druženj.

Veselimo se srečanj z vami!

Dear friends and season ticket subscribers

Welcome to the beginning of the 59th subscription season of the RTV Slovenia Symphony Orchestra.

We believe that you attend our concerts out of a desire to hear the great music that we carefully arrange to include highly regarded popular compositions, as well as a selection of interesting new works.It is with great pleasure that we introduce you to soloists, who may not, as yet,have received worldwide acclaim, but whose musical talents, personal qualities,and artistry, put them on a level with the best. Once again, we have created opportunities to work together with other orchestras and ensembles, with the goal of meeting the challenge of producing ever-improving, high-quality performances. Therefore, we will join forces with the Silesian Philharmonic of Katowice to perform Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 7; and we will prepare a very special musical event designed around the work Changeover, which was written by our own internationally famous composer, Vito Žuraj. This number will be performed with one of the most distinguished ensembles in contemporary music, Ensemble Modern from Frankfurt, and will be directed by the internationally famous conductor, Johannes Kalitzke.

Of great interest will also be the début performance of the Mont Blanc Symphony, created by five different composers from five European countries. In addition, you will have the opportunity to hear the new work composed by Matej Bonin, as well as the Slovenian premiere performance of De Profundis by Yoav Talmi, who will also conduct our orchestra for the performance.

Of course, we also offer you the opportunity to hear many golden classical compositions. If we walked a path from baroque to jazz last season, this time we will focus mainly on the Romantic era. The symphonies of Dvořák, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Sibelius, Bruckner, Berlioz, as well as a concert version of Puccini’s opera, Gianni Schicchi, will resound under the direction of conductors’ batons, many with whom we are already familiar. We are happy to have our chief conductor, En Shao, with us again, and encounter Daniel Raiskin, Yoav Talmi, and Lorenzo Castriota once more; and we will make welcome George Pehlivanian and Benoît Fromanger, who will be performing for the first time in our subscription season of concerts. Our soloists will be the exceptional solo cellist, Dragan Đorđević, the excellent young saxophonist, Jan Gričar, our extremely talented Lana Trotovšek, the internationally famous young German violinist, Erik Schumann, and a carefully chosen diversity of marvellous singers.

There promises to be nine musically rich evenings.

We look forward to seeing you.

Novo sezono Simfoničnega orkestra RTV Slovenija bo že tradicionalno odprl priljubljeni, karizmatični šef dirigent En Shao. Kot je zapisal, Slovenci glasbo potrebujemo prav tako kot hrano in obleko, pri tem pa še vedno drži, da z veseljem poslušamo zlasti priljubljene, svetovno znane glasbene partiture. Smo pa tudi radovedni in prav glede na to je En Shao oblikoval spored prvega koncerta, pri tem pa si je za solista izbral odličnega srbskega violončelista Dragana Ðorđevića, ki je leta 2012 zmagal na mednarodnem tekmovanju Antonia Janigra in dobil nagrado Hrvaškega skladateljskega društva. Umetnik bo tokrat izvedel enega najbolj priljubljenih koncertov, Dvořákov Koncert za violončelo in orkester. Ko je partituro dobil v roke Johannes Brahms, je vzkliknil: »Zakaj nisem vedel, da je možno napisati skladbo, kot je ta? Če bi to vedel, bi jo že zdavnaj napisal!«

Dirigent:En Shao

Solist:Dragan Đorđević, violončelo

L. M. Škerjanc: Lirična uvertura

J. Brahms: Simfonija št. 3 v F-duru, op. 90

A. Dvořák: Koncert za violončelo in orkester v h-molu, op. 104

Četrtek, 25. september 2014Thursday, 25 September 2014

Dirigent si je ob tej romantični literaturi izbral še Brahmsovo Tretjo simfonijo, ki je, tako kot Dvořákov Koncert za violončelo pri Brahmsu, pri Dvořáku naletela na veliko občudovanje. Sicer pa je Tretja nastajala prav v obdobju velikega boja med wagnerjanci in Brahmsovimi občudovalci. Ne glede na to pa je delo ob prvi predstavitvi na Dunaju doživelo uspeh. Clara Schumann je občudujoče zapisala: »Kakšna glasba, kakšna poezija in harmonsko ravnovesje!«

Kot uvodno skladbo pa bomo slišali Lirično uverturo enega ključnih skladateljev slovenske glasbe 20. stoletja, Lucijana Marije Škerjanca.

Conductor:Eh Shao

Soloist:Dragan Đorđević, cello

L. M. Škerjanec: Lyric Overture

J. Brahms: Symphony No. 3 in F major, Op. 90

A. Dvořák: Cello Concerto in B minor, Op. 104

As per tradition, the opening concert of the new subscription season of the RTV Slovenia Symphony Orchestra will be con-ducted by the charismatic chief conductor of the orchestra, En Shao. As he once wrote, “Slovenians require music as much as they do food and clothing”, and this remains a valid obser-vation as we enjoy listening to music, particularly to popular, well-known musical scores. We are also curious, and therefore En Shao took this into account when designing the first con-cert by choosing, as the soloist, the excellent Serbian cellist, Dragan Ðorđević, who won the Zagreb Concert Management Award in the Antonijo Janigro International Competition in 2012. The artist will perform one of the most popular con-certos, Dvořák’s Cello Concerto in B minor. When Johannes Brahms got the score, he exclaimed, “Why on earth didn’t I know one could write a cello concerto like this? If I had, I would have composed one long ago.”

Along with this romantic piece, the conductor also chose Brahms’s Symphony No. 3 in F major, which like Dvořák’s cello concerto, is the subject of much admiration. Symphony No. 3 in F major was composed right at the time of the bat-tle between the Wagnerites and those who admired Brahms, nonetheless the work experienced success right from the time it was first presented in Vienna. Clara Schumann wrote admir-ingly, “What music, what poetry and balanced harmony!”

For the opening number, we will hear the Lyric Overture, a composition by of one of the most significant composers of the Slovenian music scene in the 20th Century, Lucijan Marija Škerjanc.

Tudi na drugem koncertu bo držal dirigentsko paličico v rokah šef dirigent En Shao. Tokrat si je za solista izbral izvrstnega mladega saksofonista Jana Gričarja, ki je dvakratni zmagovalec tekmovanja mladih slovenskih glasbenikov, na mednarodnih tekmovanjih pa je osvojil prve nagrade v Požarevcu, Novi Gorici in Kopru. Lani je postal najmlajši zmagovalec v zgodovini pomembnega mednarodnega tekmovanja saksofonistov Marca Fiorinda v Italiji, pred kratkim pa je osvojil še drugo nagrado na mednarodnem tekmovanju ISSAC v Columbusu v ZDA. Leta 2008 je bil finalist tekmovanja Mladi evrovizijski glasbeniki na Dunaju, leta 2011 pa je zmagal na tekmovanju za štipendijo Yamaha Music Foundation of Europe. Tokrat se bo mladi umetnik predstavil s Tomasijevim Koncertom za altovski saksofon in orkester, ki je nastal leta 1949 in so ga prvič z velikim uspehom predstavili leto pozneje v Parizu.

N. Šenk (SI), B. Schweitzer (DE), D. Probst (FR), J. Chelmecki (PL), J. Filas (SL): Simfonija Mont Blanc – simfonična pesnitev v petih stavkih, krstna izvedba

Četrtek, 9. oktober 2014Thursday, 9 October 2014

Manuel de Falla je s svojo glasbo odločilno prispeval k razvoju španske glasbe 19. in začetka 20. stoletja. Njegova dela sijajno in na prav poseben način združujejo ljudsko in umetno glasbo, pri tem pa je znal umetnik andaluzijsko glasbeno izročilo povezati s francoskim impresionizmom in tako ustvariti svoj osebni slog. Tak je tudi balet Trirogeljnik, ki ga bomo slišali v priredbi − suiti v treh stavkih.

Najzanimivejši pa bo brez dvoma konec koncerta. Simfonični orkester RTV Slovenija je član Evropske mreže orkestrov in skupaj s štirimi drugimi člani so se zmenili, da vsak izmed njih izbere skladatelja, ki bo napisal stavek za delo z naslovom Simfonija Mont Blanc. Slovenski orkester bo s stavkom simfonije zastopala Nina Šenk. Verjetno prav vsi pričakujemo to skladbo z veliko radovednostjo.

Conductor:En Shao

Soloist:Jan Gričar, saxophone

M. de Falla: El Sombrero de tres picos (The 3-Cornered Hat), Suite No. 2

H. Tomasi: Concerto for Alto Saxophone and Orchestra

N. Šenk (SI), B. Schweitzer (DE), D. Probst (FR), J. Chelmecki (PL), J. Filas (SL): Mont Blanc Symphony – a symphony in five movements, debut performance

The conductor’s baton will also be wielded by the chief con-ductor, En Shao, for the second concert. This time he has chosen, as the soloist, the young and exceptional saxophon-ist, Jan Gričar, who was twice the winner of the Young Musi-cians of Slovenia Competition. At the international level, he has come first in competitions in Pozarevac, Nova Gorica and Koper, last year he became the youngest winner of the “Marco Fiorindo” International Saxophone Competition in Italy, and he recently won yet another prize at the International Saxophone Symposium and Competition (ISSAC) in Columbus, USA. In 2008, he was a finalist in the Eurovision Young Musicians Competition, and in 2011, he won a scholarship in the Yama-ha Music Foundation of Europe Scholarship Competition. The young artist will perform Tomasi’s Concerto for Alto Saxophone and Orchestra that was composed in 1949, and premiered with great success in Paris a year later.

Manuel de Falla greatly contributed to the development of Spanish music in the late 19th and the early the 20th centu-

ries. His work combines folk music and art songs in a unique manner, as the artist knew how to blend Andalusian musical traditions with French Impressionism to create his own distinc-tive personal style. We will listen to an arrangement of the ballet El Sombrero de tres picos (The 3-Cornered Hat) - which is in three movements.

Undoubtedly, the final part of the concert will be of great inter-est. The RTV Slovenia Symphony Orchestra is a member of a European network of orchestras, and made an agreement with four others members, that each of them would choose a composer, who would write a movement for a composition with the title Symphony of Mont Blanc. The selected composer representing the RTV Slovenia Symphony Orchestra with her movement will be Nina Šenk. We are all surely waiting in ea-ger anticipation for this composition!

1878, skoraj dve desetletji po Prvem klavirskem koncertu, ki ga občinstvo v Leipzigu ni najbolje sprejelo, je Brahms začel skicirati svoj Drugi klavirski koncert v B-duru. Delo je končal šele tri leta pozneje. Koncert je zagotovo opus summum celotne klavirske literature, ne le vrhunec skladateljevih individualnih prizadevanj, temveč celotne tovrstne zvrsti 19. stoletja. Pravzaprav je suverena združitev vseh posameznih značilnosti, zlasti solističnega koncerta in simfonije. Delo je eno najtežjih v vsej literaturi za klavir in le največji mojstri črno-belih tipk so partituri kos.

Na koncertu se bo spoprijel s to skladbo sijajni pianist Aleksej Volodin, rojen leta 1977 v Sankt Petersburgu. Leta 2003 je zmagal na Mednarodnem tekmovanju Géza Anda v Zürichu. Od takrat je eden najbolj cenjenih pianistov svoje generacije in dobiva najbolj laskave ocene. Na koncertu ga bo spremljal naš stari znanec, dirigent Daniel Raiskin, ki je

že navdušil poslušalce. Kritiki navdušeno pišejo o njegovi ognjeviti in polnokrvni interpretaciji, leta 2012 pa je za posnetke koncertov za violončelo skupaj z Julianom Stecklom prejel prestižno nagrado ECHO Klassik. Poleg Brahmsovega Koncerta za klavir in orkester št. 2 bo umetnik z orkestrom predstavil še Simfonijo št. 2 Petra Iljiča Čajkovskega. Skladba je nastala leta 1872, med počitnikovanjem pri skladateljevi sestri v kraju Kamjanka v takratni Mali Rusiji, današnji Ukrajini. Simfonija nosi vzdevek »Mala ruska«, v njej pa najdemo tudi nekatere ukrajinske ljudske napeve.

Conductor:Daniel Raiskin

Soloist: Alexei Volodin, piano

J. Brahms: Piano Concerto No. 2 in B flat major, Op. 83

P. I. Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 2 in C minor, Op. 17

In 1878, almost two decades after his first piano concerto, which the public in Leipzig did not readily appreciate, Brahms started to prepare an outline of his second piano concerto in B-flat. He finished the work three years later. The concerto undoubtedly represents the opus summum of all genres of piano literature, and not just the peak of the composer’s individual efforts. In fact, it is a masterpiece that combines numerous diverse characteristics from 19th century piano literature, especially from the solo concerto and the symphony. The work is one of the most difficult of all pieces for the piano, and only those with great mastery over the ebony and ivory keys are a match for the score.

Performing this composition at the concert will be the wonderful pianist, Alexei Volodin, who was born in St. Petersburg in 1977, and who won the International Géza Anda Competition in Zurich, Switzerland, in 2003. He is one of the most respected pianists of his generation and receives the most flattering praise for his work.

Someone with whom we are already familiar, and who has previously charmed us, conductor Daniel Raiskin, will accompany him at the concert. Critics write enthusiastically about his forceful and fiery interpretations, and in 2012 he received a prestigious ECHO Klassik award for his cello concerti recordings with Julian Steckel. Besides Brahms’s Piano Concerto No. 2 in B flat major, the artist accompanied by the orchestra, will also perform Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 2 in C minor. The composition was written in 1872 while the composer was holidaying with his sister in Kamianka, Ukraine. The symphony is also known as the “Little Russian”, and contains elements of Ukrainian folk melodies.

Na četrtem abonmajskem koncertu bomo slišali eno izmed zgodovinskih del iz svetovne simfonične literature, Simfonijo št. 7 ruskega skladatelja Dmitrija Šostakoviča. Delo nosi vzdevek »Leningrajska simfonija«, saj ga je skladatelj ustvarjal med nemškim obleganjem takratnega Leningrada. Simfonija je brez dvoma skladateljevo najbolj znano delo in v njegovih Spominih beremo: »Občutil sem neizrekljivo bolečino zaradi vseh, ki jih je pokončal Hitler. Toda nič manjša ni moja bolečina ob misli na tiste, ki so bili umorjeni pod Stalinom…«

Šostakovič je simfonijo pisal leta 1941, med obstreljevanjem legendarnega mesta, jeseni pa se je z družino umaknil na deželo in delo dokončal marca 1942.

Dirigent:En Shao

Sodeluje:Šlezijska filharmonija iz Katowic

D. Šostakovič: Simfonija št. 7

Četrtek, 4. december 2014Thursday, 4 December 2014

Po prvi izvedbi je avtor v Pravdi zapisal: »Svojo Sedmo simfonijo poklanjam našemu boju proti fašizmu, naši neizogibni zmagi nad sovražnikom in Leningradu, svojemu rojstnemu mestu…«

Izvedba simfonije bo tokrat posebna, saj se bosta združila dva orkestra, Šlezijska filharmonija iz Katowic in Simfonični orkester RTV Slovenija, oba pa bo vodil En Shao.

15

Conductor:En Shao

Featuring: Silesian Philharmonic of Katowice

D. Shostakovich: Symphony No. 7

At the fourth subscription concert, we will listen to one of the epoch-making works of international symphonic literature, to Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 7. The work goes by the nickname “Leningrad symphony”, as the composer created it during the German siege of what was then known as Leningrad. The symphony is undoubtedly the composer’s most well-known work, and he stated in his memoirs that, “I feel eternal pain for those who were killed by Hitler, but I feel no less pain for those killed on Stalin’s orders”.

Shostakovich was working on the symphony in 1941 during the bombardment of the legendary town; he then moved to the country with his family in autumn, and completed work in March 1942.

After the premier performance, the composer wrote, “I dedicate my Seventh Symphony to our struggle against fascism, to our coming victory over the enemy, to my native city, Leningrad”.

This will be an exceptional performance of the symphony, as it will involve two orchestras working together: the Silesian Philharmonic of Katowice, and the RTV Slovenia Symphony Orchestra, both will be conducted by En Shao.

Kadarkoli je na sporedu novost, se poslušalci, pa tudi kritika, zelo razveselijo. Če pa je to slovensko delo mladega skladatelja, je radovednost še toliko večja. Matej Bonin je brez dvoma eden najzanimivejših skladateljev mlajše generacije, ki je že nekajkrat dokazal veliko poznavanje in obvladovanje svojega poklica. Od oktobra 2012 se izpopolnjuje pri Beatu Furrerju v Gradcu, diplomiral pa je na ljubljanski Akademiji za glasbo pri Urošu Rojku. O skladbi, ki jo prav zdaj piše, pravi takole: »Ideja kroženja kot mehanizma, ki poganja generiranje ter oblikovanje identitete vseh ravni zvočne materije (ritem, artikulacija, tonsko gradivo, tekstura ...), je pristop, ki se mu posvečam zadnji dve leti svojega ustvarjanja. Ciklično kroženje med “že znanimi” zvočnimi elementi in postopnim uvajanjem “novih” tako ustvarja zvočno snov, ki je v stalnem procesu preoblikovanja. Raziskovanje empatičnosti do glasbene snovi, ki se v takem procesu ustvarja, je zame kot ustvarjalca bistvenega pomena. Orkester kot kompleksno zvočno telo je pri tem zagotovo velik navdih.

Dirigent:George Pehlivanian

Solistka: Lana Trotovšek, violina

M. Bonin: novo delo

P. I. Čajkovski: Koncert za violino v D-duru, op. 35

J. Sibelius: Simfonija št. 1 v e-molu, op. 39

Torek, 17. februar 2015Tuesday, 17 February 2015

Tokrat bo dirigentsko delo prevzel naš stari znanec George Pehlivanian, redni gost obeh osrednjih orkestrov. Po letu 1991, ko je zmagal na tekmovanju dirigentov v francoskem Besançonu, se mu je odprla mednarodna umetniška pot, ki ga vodi k številnim svetovnim orkestrom. Poleg Boninove novitete bo z mlado in že v svetu uveljavljeno slovensko violinistko Lano Trotovšek predstavil še Koncert za violino in orkester v D-duru P. I. Čajkovskega in v drugem delu koncerta še Sibeliusovo Simfonijo št. 1 v e-molu.

Conductor:George Pehlivanian

Soloist:Lana Trotovšek, violin

M. Bonin: New composition

P. I. Tchaikovsky: Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 35

J. Sibelius: Symphony No. 1 in E minor, Op. 39

Whenever there is a new composition on the programme, the audience and critics are very happy. If it is the work of a young Slovenian composer, their interest is even greater. Matej Bonin is undoubtedly one of the most exciting composers of the younger generation, and he has repeatedly demonstrated his great knowledge and mastery of his profession. In 2011, Matej graduated from the Academy of Music of Ljubljana, and since October 2012, he has been studying with Professor Beat Furrer in Graz. He has stated the following about his new composition, “The idea that cyclic rotation, as a mechanism, is what drives the generation and formation of all aspects of sound (rhythm, vocalisation, tonal material, texture...), is a concept to which I have devoted the last two years. The cyclic movement between ‘already known’ sound elements and the gradual introduction of ‘new’ ones, creates sound components that are in a constant process of change. It is important to me, as a composer, to explore the empathy towards the musical subject matter that is created by such a process.” The orchestra, as a complex producer of sounds, must certainly be a great inspiration!

This time the role of conductor will be performed by an old friend, George Pehlivanian, who has been a regular guest of both of Slovenia’s major orchestras. Winning the competition for conductors held in Besançon, France, in 1991, opened up international opportunities to him, and led him to conduct numerous international orchestras. Along with the young, already internationally established Slovenian violinist, Lana Trotovšek, he will present Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto in D major, and in the second part of the concert, Sibelius’s Symphony No. 1 in E minor.

Šesti abonmajski koncert bo nekaj posebnega. Simfoničnemu orkestru se bo namreč pridružil vodilni svetovni ansambel za sodobno glasbo, Ensemble Modern iz Frankfurta, ki so ga leta 1980 ustanovili študentje Mlade nemške filharmonije z namenom, da bi spodbudili nastanek novih del in jih kakovostno izvajali. Oba ansambla bo vodil nemški dirigent in skladatelj Johannes Kalitzke, ki je študiral v Kölnu in se pozneje izpopolnjeval v Parizu pri Vinku Globokarju. Kot dirigent in skladatelj je vselej dobrodošel gost na festivalih sodobne glasbe, pa tudi v velikih opernih hišah. Skupaj s sopranistko Hélène Fauchère bo izvedel skladbo Vita Žuraja, slovenskega skladatelja, ki je letos štipendist slovite Ville Massimo v Rimu.

»Skladbi Changeover (2011) in Übürall (2013) sta nastali za koncerta ob odprtju novega nemškega festivala „cresc...Biennale für moderne Musik Frankfurt-Rhein-Main“, ki ga je leta 2011 ustanovil Ensemble Modern. Osnova obeh skladb je ansambel, postavljen v skupinah okoli občinstva. Medtem ko v skladbi Changeover ansambelske skupine igrajo ob pointilistični spremljavi velikega simfoničnega

Zanimivo pa bo tudi poslušati Pet skladb za orkester Arnolda Schönberga v dveh različicah, za komorni ansambel in simfonični orkester.

A. Schönberg: Five Pieces for Orchestra, Op. 16 (symphony orchestra version, 1949)

V. Žuraj: Changeover for instrumental groups and symphony orchestra

Undoubtedly, the sixth subscription concert will be very special. The RTV Slovenia Symphony Orchestra will be joined by the world’s leading contemporary music ensemble, Ensemble Modern, of Frankfurt, which was founded in 1980 by students of the Junge Deutsche Philharmonie, in order to encourage the creation and successful performance of new works. Both ensemble pieces will be led by German conductor and composer, Johannes Kalitzke, who studied in Cologne, and then later perfected his skills in Paris with Vinko Globokar. As a conductor and as a composer, he is always a welcome guest at festivals of contemporary music, as well as in large opera houses. In conjunction with soprano, Hélène Fauchère, there will be a performance of a composition by Vito Žuraj, a Slovenian composer who won a fellowship at the German Academy Villa Massimo in Rome for 2014. His compositions Changeover (2011) and Übürall (2013) were created for the opening concerts of the newly established German festival, co-initiated by Ensemble Modern and made possible by the Cultural Fund Frankfurt Rhein Main, “cresc... Biennale for Modern Music Frankfurt Rhein Main”.

Both compositions require members of an ensemble, to be positioned in groups, around the audience. Whereas for the composition, Changeover, the ensemble play in a pointillist style accompanied by a large symphony orchestra, for Übürall, the ensemble provides the acoustic background for a soprano playing the role of Madame Ubu and quarter-tone instruments on stage. The year 2015, will see a recording of the two compositions released on a portrait CD, through Deutscher Musikrat (the German Music Council) on the WERGO label. In 2012, Vito Žuraj won the 57th City of Stuttgart Composition Prize, which is the oldest German award giving competition for contemporary music.

It will be greatly entertaining to listen to two versions of Arnold Schönberg’s Five Pieces for Orchestra, one written for chamber ensemble and the other for symphony orchestra.

Že v eni prejšnjih sezon nas je navdušil Yoav Talmi, dirigent judovskega rodu. Tokrat se nam bo predstavil tudi kot skladatelj dela De Profundis za mešani zbor in orkester, ki je nastalo leta 2011 in je posvečeno njegovemu očetu, slikarju in dirigentovemu prvemu glasbenemu učitelju, ki je umrl leta 2008 v visoki starosti. Talmi je uporabil besedila iz Knjige psalmov v hebrejščini in latinščini, v dveh osrednjih stavkih pa je glasba napisana na besedila dveh znanih izraelskih pesnic, Lee Goldberg in Rachel Bluwstein. Zborovski del bo na koncertu prevzel naš odlični Zbor sv. Nikolaja iz Litije, ki ga vodi karizmatična Helena Fojkar Zupančič.

Poleg Talmijeve skladbe bomo slišali še priljubljeno Simfonijo št. 4 Antona Brucknerja, ki se bo prav gotovo vsebinsko odlično podala velikemu vokalno-instrumentalnemu delu.

A. Bruckner: Symphony No. 4 in E flat major, “Romantic”

Israeli-born conductor, Yoav Talmi, already impressed us with his talent during one of a previous subscription season’s concerts. This time we will see him also in the role of composer, as he will present his work, De Profundis for Choir and Orchestra, which was composed in 2011, and is dedicated to his father, who was a painter and the conductor’s first music teacher, and who passed away at a grand old age in 2008. Talmi used words taken from the Book of Psalms, which are in Hebrew and Latin, and in the two central sections, the composition is based on two poems by famous Israeli poets, Lea Goldberg and Rachel Bluwstein. The choral component of the concert will involve the splendid Saint Nicholas Choir Litija, which is led by the charismatic, Helena Fojkar Zupančič.

In addition to Talmi’s composition, we will hear Anton Bruckner’s popular instrumental piece, Symphony No. 4, which will complement it perfectly.

Leta 1877 je bila s prvim velikim uspehom v Parizu izvedena tretja opera Julesa Masseneta, Kralj iz Lahoreja. V dvajsetih letih 20. stoletja so na delo pozabili, renesanso je doživelo šele v sedemdesetih letih 20. stoletja. Drugače pa je z Berliozovo Fantastično simfonijo, ki je vse od nastanka leta 1830 eno ključnih in najbolj priljubljenih del celotne simfonične literature. Camille Saint-Saëns je napisal tri violinske koncerte in vse posvetil takrat največjemu virtuozu Pablu de Sarasateju. Tretji je zagotovo najboljši. Nastal je leta 1880.

Orkester bo vodil Benoît Fromanger, trenutno šef dirigent Simfoničnega orkestra iz Bukarešte, ki je kariero začel kot flavtist solist v orkestru Pariške nacionalne opere. Deset let pozneje se je pridružil Simfoničnemu orkestru Bavarskega radia, potem pa ga je zamikala dirigentska paličica. Najprej je študiral pri Valeriju Gergijevu, potem pri Rolfu Reuterju, v Berlinu je tudi diplomiral. Danes je zelo iskan in cenjen dirigent, ki sodeluje s številnimi pomembnimi solisti in orkestri.

Violinist Erik Schumann je bil rojen v Kölnu in je nemško-romunsko-japonskega rodu. »Mojstrski mladi glasbenik za 21. stoletje«, kot ga kritika poimenuje, igra »s srcem in razumom«. Sodeloval je s številnimi evropskimi orkestri in rad nastopa na solističnih recitalih ali v komorni zasedbi. Skupaj s pianistom Henrijem Sigfridssonom je posnel duo sonate S. Prokofjeva in dobil izvrstne ocene. Na mladega umetnika in njegov razvoj je odločilno vplival pedagog Zakhar Bron, pri katerem je Schumann v Kölnu študiral.

Conductor:Benoît Fromanger

Soloist:Erik Schumann, violin

J. Massenet: Le roi de Lahore (The King of Lahore), overture

C. Saint - Saëns: Violin Concerto No. 3 in B minor, Op. 61

H. Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique Op. 14

Le roi de Lahore (The King of Lahore), the third opera by Jules Massenet, premiered to great success in Paris in 1877. In the 1920s, the work was largely forgotten, only finally experiencing a renaissance in the 1970s. In contrast, Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique, has maintained its position as one of the most popular works in symphonic literature since its composition in 1830. Camille Saint-Saëns wrote three violin concertos and dedicated them all to the greatest virtuoso at that time, Pablo de Sarasate. The third of these is unquestionably the best and was composed in 1880.

The orchestra will be directed by Benoît Fromanger, currently the Principal Chief Conductor of the Bucharest Symphony Orchestra, who started his career as a solo flautist in the Paris National Opera Orchestra; ten years later, he joined the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra. Then he felt the lure of the conductor’s baton, and first studied with Valery Gergiev, then with Rolf Reuter, and graduated there in Berlin. Today he is a very sought after and respected conductor, who collaborates with a number of major orchestras and soloists.

Violinist, Erik Schumann, was born in Cologne, and has German, Romanian, and Japanese ancestry. He has been described by critics as one of ‘the most masterly young musicians of the 21st century’, and as a man who plays with both ‘his heart and his mind’; he has collaborated with numerous European orchestras, and enjoys performing solo recitals or in chamber music ensembles. Together with pianist, Henri Sigfridsson, he has recorded a CD featuring Sergei Prokofiev’s duo sonatas, which has received excellent reviews. Indisputably, Professor Zakhar Bron, with whom Schumann studied in Cologne, has had a fundamental effect on the young artist and his development.

Preminuli veliki italijanski baritonist Giuseppe Taddei je nekoč o dirigentu Lorenzu Castrioti izjavil: »… Bravo! Kot dirigenta vas imam v predstavi Gianni Schicchi in zelo sem vesel, saj z vami najlaže in najbolje pojem!” Že kot sedemnajstletnega mladeniča ga je vzel pod svoje pokroviteljstvo sloviti dirigent Giuseppe Patané in Castriota je kmalu postal njegov asistent. Z veliko vnemo je srkal mojstrovo znanje in izkušnje in se tako zelo dobro seznanil z italijanskim opernim repertoarjem. Castriota danes dirigira v vseh pomembnih opernih hišah, pa tudi na koncertnih odrih. Za svoje delo je bil večkrat nagrajen, najvišja pa je kulturna nagrada Sebetia-Ter, ki jo je dobil leta 2008 za življenjsko kariero. Castriota danes uspešno predaja znanje mlajšim, prihajajočim dirigentom.

Dirigent:Lorenzo Castriota

Na zadnjem abonmajskem koncertu pa se bo predstavil skupaj izbranimi mladimi domačimi in tujimi solisti, to bo brez dvoma izjemno zanimivo doživetje za vse poslušalce. Poslušali bomo zgodnje simfonično delo Capriccio sinfonico in koncertno izvedbo opere Gianni Schicchi Giacoma Puccinija.

Conductor:Lorenzo Castriota

Soloists:selected young Slovenian and international soloists

G. Puccini: Capriccio Sinfonico, SC 55

G. Puccini: Gianni Schicchi

The now deceased great Italian baritone, Giuseppe Taddei, once said of the conductor, Lorenzo Castriota, “… Bravo! I had you as my conductor in Gianni Schicchi, and I was very happy because it’s easy to sing at my best with you!” When he was only seventeen years old, he was taken under the wing of the renowned conductor, Giuseppe Patané, as his assistant. With great enthusiasm, he absorbed the maestro’s knowledge and experience, and therefore became very familiar with the Italian opera repertoire. Today, Castriota conducts in all the major opera houses and concert halls. He has won numerous awards for his work, the most prestigious of which was the 2008 Sebetia-Ter Prize for his career as conductor and outstanding musician. These days, Castriota successfully passes on his wealth of knowledge to young, up-and-coming conductors.

At the final concert of the subscription series, he will perform selected young Slovenian and international soloists, which will definitely be an extremely interesting experience for the audience. We will listen to Puccini’s early symphonic piece, Capriccio Sinfonico, and a concert performance of his opera, Gianni Schicchi.

Simfonični orkester RTV Slovenija je bil ustanovljen leta 1955 in je v svoji več kot polstoletni zgodovini zapustil globoko sled v slovenskem glasbenem življenju. Vodili so ga dirigenti Uroš Prevoršek (1955–1966), Samo Hubad (1966–1980), Stanislav Macura (1980 –1981), Anton Nanut (1981–1998), Lior Shambadal (2000–2003) in David de Villiers (2003–2006). S koncerti po državi in tujini si je že kmalu pridobil izjemen ugled, v letih 1984–1985 pa je dobil odlične kritike tudi v Združenih državah Amerike. Temeljna dejavnost orkestra so arhivska in koncertna snemanja. Izvaja obsežen in raznovrsten repertoar, od baročne do sodobne simfonične glasbe, oper, oratorijev in kantat, scenske in filmske glasbe, po večini s poudarkom na ustvarjalnosti domačih skladateljev.

Posnel je skoraj celoten slovenski simfonični repertoar in je za najboljše poustvaritve domačih skladb dobil številna visoka priznanja. Čeprav je večino posnetkov orkestra slišati na vseh radijskih in TV-programih, sta njegova domača in mednarodna diskografija izjemno obsežni (več kot 150 zgoščenk). Septembra 2006 je mesto šefa dirigenta prevzel odlični kitajski dirigent En Shao. Orkester je v zadnjih sezonah zbudil največ pozornosti z dirigenti in solisti, kot so Ralf

V zadnjem času ga je širše občinstvo spoznalo v okviru t. i. projektov “crossover” – v povezavi klasične glasbe z drugimi glasbenimi zvrstmi (koncert s skupino Siddharta, TerraFolk, Dan D in Tabu). Ob tem tudi redno gostuje po vsej Evropi. V zadnjih sezonah je Simfonični orkester RTV Slovenija z velikim uspehom nastopil na več koncertih v sloviti amsterdamski dvorani Concertgebouw, ter dunajskem Musikvereinu in Konzerthausu. Simfonični orkester RTV Slovenija je član mednarodne mreže orkestrov ONE – Orchestra Network for Europe.

The RTV SloveniaSymphony Orchestra

RTV Slovenia Symphony Orchestra, which was founded in 1955, has left an indelible mark in the musical life of Slovenia. The orchestra soon achieved considerable success by touring extensively throughout Slovenia and abroad; in the years between 1984 and 1985 it performed to great critical acclaim in the USA. The main activity of the orchestra is concert recording and archive recordings. It performs a vast and diverse repertoire, ranging from baroque to modern symphonic music, from operatic music to oratorios and cantatas, from incidental music to film soundtracks, always giving special emphasis to the creativity of Slovenian composers. The orchestra has been awarded many prizes for the best performances of new Slovenian compositions. The majority of its recordings can be heard regularly on all radio and TV programmes in Slovenia, while its domestic and foreign discography is quite extensive (more than 150 CDs). The orchestra regularly tours throughout Europe. The orchestra was led by the conductors Uroš Prevoršek (1955-1966), Samo Hubad (1966-1980), Stanislav Macura (1980-1981), Anton Nanut (1981-1998), Lior Shambadal (2000-2003) and David de Villiers (2003-2006). In September 2006 the excellent Chinese conductor En Shao became the

chief conductor. The attention the orchestra has attracted in the past few seasons was due mainly to the conductors and soloists, such as: En Shao, Ralf Weikert, Walter Proost, Christian Mandeal, Sian Edwards, Rossen Milanov, Yoav Talmi, Angela Gheorghiu, Roberto Alagna, Marcelo Alvarez, Giora Feidman, Dmitri Sitkovetsky, Mischa Maisky, Stefan Milenkovich, Emanuelle Bertrand, Mate Bekavac, Aldo Ciccolini, Radu Lupu, Irena Grafenauer, Ivo Pogorelich Evelyn Glennie, Priya Mitchel, Mikhail Rudy, The King’s Singers, Konstantin Bogino, Mario Brunello, Jose Carreras, Eleonore Pameijer, Radek Baborak, Eva Nina Kozmus, Ye-Eun Choi, Dejan Lazić Ning Feng, Sergej Nakarjakov and Claude Delangle. The orchestra has recently become known to the wider audience through the so-called “crossover” projects, in which it combined classical music with other musical genres (in concert with the bands Siddharta, TerraFolk, Dan D and Tabu). In the last few seasons the orchestra performed with great success at several concerts in the famous Concertgebouw in Amsterdam and in Konzerthaus and Musikverein in Wien. RTV Slovenia Symphony Orchestra is a member of ONE – Orchestra Network for Europe.
